A fascinating exploration of the history of memory and human civilization
Memory makes us human. No other animal carries in its brain so many memories of such complexity nor so regularly revisits those memories for happiness, safety, and the accomplishment of complex tasks. Human civilization continues because we are able to pass along memories from one person to another, from one generation to the next.
A groundbreaking study on the relationship between mental and physical health.
A stomach ache before a job interview is common enough—but how else can the mind affect the body? Can conditions like heart disease, cancer, asthma or arthritis be exacerbated, or relieved, by our own thoughts and feelings? Have you ever wondered why people get sick when they do? Does the mind really affect the body? And why does modern medicine seem to have so little interest in the unconscious process and emotional factors behind illness? And what—if anything—can we do about it?
Why People Get Sick explores the relationship between what’s going on in our heads and what happens in our bodies, combining cutting-edge research with neglected findings in medical history. In light of America’s growing health crisis, Darian Leader and David Corfield’s study could not come at a more critical moment. With remarkable case studies and startling new insights into why we get sick, this intriguing and thought-provoking book should be read by anyone who cares about their own health and that of other people.
Anatomy of Running follows the format of the successful Anatomy of… series. The books feature full-body anatomy illustrations that reveal the musculature as the body performs a particular exercise. By seeing how the muscles interact and which muscles execute and which support the exercise, the reader gains the greatest understanding of the exercise and its benefits.
Anatomy of Running begins with an introduction to the popular fitness activity:
Benefits from running
Warming up, stretching, cooling down
Equipment (shoes, heart rate monitors, pedometers)
Surfaces, distances, environment
Muscles and ligaments used
Stretches and strengthening
Common injuries (identification, prevention, treatment, causes)
Special considerations (age, pregnancy, fitness level, health).
For the greatest benefit from running, it is not enough to head outside or to the gym and do laps. The runner must undertake a variety of strengthening exercises that improve running efficiency, increase its benefits and make gains in speed, distance and stamina.
As well, those starting a running program will find it easier if they have strong muscles to work with from the beginning. Fatigue will be later in coming and discouraging injuries will be rarer, if not entirely prevented.
Anatomy of Running is an expert guide that will be extremely useful for anyone interested in undertaking or improving a running program, training for a distance event, or using running as a complement to another fitness activity. Marathon coaches and running clinics will find the book especially useful.
