Book Description

People and Organizations Interacting Edited by Aat Brakel Consultant, Formerly with Shell International Petroleum Company Through a series of case studies this book explores the interactive process between people and organizations which has resulted through rapidly changing technologies. By concentrating on one pioneering company—Shell—it shows how a successful industry and its employees can adapt and survive in an ever-changing environment. At the same time the contents illustrate how practice and theory interact and how organizational theory, both explicitly and implicitly, has been used in very diverse cultural settings. This book explains why and how organizations adapt both in content and context and emphasizes that to move towards a more desirable future it is essential to look at organizations in an interactive way.

Book Description

New information about disease transmission, dietary and economic linkage, and the continuing international focus on conservation and primate research have created a surge of interest in primates, and focus on the diverse interaction of human and nonhuman primates has become an important component in primatological and ethnographic studies. By examining the diverse and fascinating range of relationships between humans and other primates and observing how this plays a critical role in conservation practice and programs, Primates Face to Face disseminates the information gained from the anthropological study of nonhuman primates to the wider academic and non-academic world.

Download Description

As our closest evolutionary relatives, nonhuman primates are integral elements in our mythologies, diets and scientific paradigms, yet most species now face an uncertain future through exploitation for the pet and bushmeat trades as well as progressive habitat loss. New information about disease transmission, dietary and economic linkage, and the continuing international focus on conservation and primate research have created a surge of interest in primates, and focus on the diverse interaction of human and nonhuman primates has become an important component in primatological and ethnographic studies. By examining the diverse and fascinating range of relationships between humans and other primates, and how this plays a critical role in conservation practice and programs, Primates Face to Face disseminates the information gained from the anthropological study of nonhuman primates to the wider academic and non-academic world.

Book Description

Biogerontologists are now in a position to construct general principles of aging, and genuine attempts are being made to test and develop effective means of intervention, prevention and treatment of age-related diseases, and for achieving healthy old age. This book takes status of the molecular, cellular, hormonal, nutritional and lifestyle strategies being tested and applied. It comprises inter-dependent chapters written in the form of critical reviews by the worldâ€™s leading researchers and practitioners in their respective fields. The format of the articles is a semi-academic style in which research data from various experimental systems is presented while focusing on their applications in human beings with respect to the prevention and treatment of age-related impairments. The target readership is the undergraduate and graduate students in the universities, medical and nursing colleges, post-graduate students taking up research projects on different aspects of biogerontology, and practicing clinicians. This book could be an important volume for college, university and state libraries maintaining a good database in biology, medical and biomedical sciences. Furthermore, this book will also be of much interest to the pharmaceutical, and nutrition and healthcare industry for an easy access to accurate and reliable information in the field of aging research and intervention.

Customer Reviews:

Very good information.......2007-01-19

I am an author of one of the chapter in this book. I read through other chapters of this book and found that they contain lots of good information about human aging process and treatments. We all know that not everybody will get certain types of diseases, but everybody will become old. Aging is a process that everybody will pass through. How to maintain health while we become old is the research mission of we scientists and physicians. I wish people will enjoy the most update information and discussion about aging and treatment in this book.

Book Description

Skeletal muscle development is perhaps one of the best understood processes at the molecular, cellular and organismal level due in large part to the fact that primary myogenic cells (myoblasts) will grow and subsequently differentiate into myotubes in culture. With the advent of reverse mouse genetics, many of the observations gained through the study of myogenic cells in vitro have been directly tested in vivo. What has emerged is a complex but cohesive story of how myogenic cells are initially specified in the vertebrate embryo and how muscle fibers ultimately achieve their respective identities (i.e. fast versus slow) to perform their function. This collection of chapters is focused on these developments. The book discusses old and new directions for the skeletal muscle field and points out directions where the field may eventually progress.

Covers very well all aspects not directly related to rowing.......2005-02-10

I think one of the greatest contribuition of this book is that it covers so many aspects that the athlete must care about outside of water and that are as important as rowing techniques. It covers methodolgies to become disciplined, to analyze progress, enhancement and assiduity. Covers very well the practices that should be taken in gym (weight work and stretching) focused on rowing, as well as very interesting and easy to understand physiological aspects of human body during the practice. The book obviously covers very well the rowing techniques and competition strategies.

indispensible..........2000-08-09

I am a rowing coach and instructor. I find this book to be an indispensible tool for athletes and coaches alike. Form the basics of the stroke to training for "high performance rowing," this book covers it all in depth. Everyone who rows should read this book. Buy it for your boathouse and pass it around!

Probably the best book on rowing currently in print.......2000-05-09

John McArthur is coach at a UK rowing club and has written a book for those who aspire to excellence in the sport. The book is up to date in areas of rigging, physiology, technique and training. What is more, McArthur explains the "why" and the "how" behind rigging and physiology - something usually skipped. This is not a book which will help beginners directly, but it will inspire and inform the beginner as well as the elite athlete. And I guess that's what I liked most about it: treating rowing as a form of athletic endeavour and giving the intelligent and committed rower enough information to enable him or her to understand every aspect of the sport and so to come to an informed, sensible position which suits their capacities and aspirations.

A good look at competitive, on-water rowing..........2000-04-30

This book is primarily for those who row on water, rather than those who use an erg indoors, as I do. That being said it's a great book, crammed full of important and relevant information.

It has detailed tips on improving technique, comprehensive explanations of what kind of training to do to achieve a certain goal, description on how to write a training program, and competiton strategies. It gets very specific in several areas regarding strength, endurance, power, and how to increase all of these. There are charts and graphs, diagrams and photos, the works!

I only wish the author had given more focus to erg rowing, but even without that this is an excellent resource for anyone who rows, whether on land or on the water.

I just got a 35 foot twin screw cruiser. This book gives great instruction for docking several types of drives. It has a on board practice lesson that gets you familiar with how the boat responds.

I have studied Japanese Calligraphy with Profssor Muranaka, and his book has been very helpful. He has generously given each of his students his book. He is an extremely talented man who knows what he is doing.

pardon the pun but very cursory.......2001-07-07

Dipping far more lightly than the author might ever advocate his students of the brush, we are presented with the barest glimpse of the rich history and variety of this art form. Appropriate to perhaps to the naive novice, anyone with a serious interest in Asian calligraphy will be left wanting. There are better options out there: I exhort buyers to explore other options before making this purchase.
