Prescriptive Stretching
Prescriptive Stretching, Second Edition, incorporates easy-to-understand full-color anatomical illustrations to demonstrate exactly how to use stretches to relieve soreness and imbalances in a targeted way. By using these stretches, readers can reduce their risk of injury and relieve unwanted pain.
A Rock Between Hard Places
What has driven neighbouring states to intervene in the Afghan conflict? This book challenges mainstream analyses which place Afghanistan at the centre - the so-called 'heart' - of a large pan-Asian region whose fate is predicated on Afghan stability. Instead Harpviken and Tadjbakhsh situate Afghanistan on the margins of three regional security complexes - those of South Asia, Central Asia, and the Persian Gulf - each characterised by deep security rivalries, which, in turn, informs their engagement in Afghanistan. Within Central Asia, security cooperation is hampered by competition for regional supremacy and great power support, a dynamic reflected in these states' half-hearted role in Afgh...
The Peace In Between
This volume examines the causes and purposes of 'post-conflict' violence. The end of a war is generally expected to be followed by an end to collective violence, as the term ‘post-conflict’ that came into general usage in the 1990s signifies. In reality, however, various forms of deadly violence continue, and sometimes even increase after the big guns have been silenced and a peace agreement signed. Explanations for this and other kinds of violence fall roughly into two broad categories – those that stress the legacies of the war and those that focus on the conditions of the peace. There are significant gaps in the literature, most importantly arising from the common premise that there...
Prescriptive Stretching
No one likes to live with aches and pain. Whether the pain is caused by poor posture, repetitive movements, injury, or sedentary behavior, Prescriptive Stretching, Second Edition, can help put you on the path to feeling better and living without the pain. Prescriptive Stretching features full-color anatomical illustrations and step-by-step instructions for dozens of the most effective stretches to eliminate pain, alleviate muscle soreness, improve balance and flexibility, and prevent common injuries. You’ll find various types of stretches and techniques, including individual unassisted stretches, the use of a tennis ball to target troublesome areas like the shoulder and feet, and partner s...
Transnational Dynamics of Civil War
Combining innovative theory with detailed case studies, this book offers a novel account of the border-crossing processes of civil war.
Sons of the Old Country
Frederik Berg, Isak Isaksrud, and Ole Brekke, young Norwegian immigrants, become friends in the years before they face the dangers of the Civil War
The Hazaras of Afghanistan
Study of the second largest but least well-known ethnic group in Afghanistan that also confronts the taboo subject of Afghan national identity. Largely Farsi-speaking Shi'ias, the Hazaras traditionally inhabited central Afghanistan, but because of the war are now widely scattered.
Political Economy of Palestine
This book explores the political economy of Palestine through critical, interdisciplinary, and decolonial perspectives, underscoring that an approach to economics that does not consider the political—a de-politicized economics—is inadequate to understanding the situation in occupied Palestine. A critical interdisciplinary approach to political economy challenges prevailing neoliberal logics and structures that reproduce racial capitalism, and explores how the political economy of occupied Palestine is shaped by processes of accumulation by exploitation and dispossession from both Israel and global business, as well as from Palestinian elites. A decolonial approach to Palestinian politica...
Gene Therapy Protocols
Efforts in gene therapy have grown dramatically in recent years. Basic research as well as clinical activity have made exciting progress and are beg- ning to offer renewed hope that gene therapy may be able to deliver novel approaches for the treatment of inherited as well as such acquired diseases as cardiovascular disease and cancer. With the sequencing of the human genome complete, we now have a comprehensive catalog of genes that further expands the potential role of gene therapy into such new fields as tissue engineering. Central to gene therapy is the process of gene transfer; thus, advances in the technology of gene transfer are at the heart of this field’s progress. Numerous technologies, based on a variety of methods (e.g., viral-mediated, physical/ chemical), have been developed to achieve gene transfer. Some of the earliest methods, such as recombinant retroviruses, are still widely used, have undergone significant improvements, and have given rise to new vectors based on lentiviruses.
Social Networks and Migration in Wartime Afghanistan
Drawing on fieldwork in the Herat area, Afghanistan, this book addresses migration patterns throughout three decades of war. It launches a framework for understanding the role of social networks for people's responses to war and disaster as well as mobilizing or maintaining material resources for security and gathering information.
