Forever My Daddy
Despite our modern epidemic of fatherlessness -- and the myriad social problems it causes -- vast numbers of loving, caring, devoted fathers are ruthlessly blocked from their children's hearts and lives. It's called Parental Alienation Syndrome -- a byproduct of broken marriages and a scourge of unnecessary emotional pain for kids and fathers alike, but it doesn't have to be this bad. There are powerful ways to cope, even ways to help prevent Parental Alienation Syndrome. Forever My Daddy: Denied is filled with hard-earned wisdom, invaluable lessons, and vital perspectives for every parent and parent-to-be. Relatives and friends impacted by the emotional fallout of marriages that didn't last, as well as all the teachers, coaches, counselors, lawyers, and healthcare professionals who care for children of failed marriages will also benefit from reading Forever My Daddy: Denied. Forever My Daddy: Denied shows how to help prevent Parental Alienation Syndrome, and how to counter and even overcome the obstacles that threaten to deny far too many loving daddies from participating in their children's lives.
A Roadmap to Better Health
Although the U.S. is one of the wealthiest nations in the world, we are far from being the healthiest, and consistently lag behind other developed nations in life expectancy and other population health measures. In fact, the country is suffering from chronic medical conditions, such as heart disease, obesity, and type 2 diabetes. These non-communicable diseases are largely the result of individual behaviors and lifestyle choices made in the context of a low physical activity, high calorie environment. In this publication, Dr. Michael Joyner and colleagues provide a roadmap to address the status quo by focusing on lifestyle factors that are best for healthspan (the period of life free of chro...
Return to Fitness
Bill Katovsky was a two-time Hawaii Ironman finisher, a guy who bicycled solo across the U.S., an endurance athlete who competed in a three-day race mountain bike race across Costa Rica. But through a series of misfortunes, including depression, losing his dog, death in his family, and debilitating health problems, Katovsky went from being a multisport junkie to complete couch potato. He stopped working out. For almost ten years! By the time he hit fifty, he decided it was time for a change. How he fought his way back to fitness is not only a riveting, brutally honest, and ultimately inspiring story, it is also a hands-on guide to help anyone reclaim health and well-being.

Perspectives on Plagiarism and Intellectual Property in a Postmodern World
Contributors offer many definitions and facets of plagiarism and intellectual property, demonstrating that if defining a supposedly "simple" concept is difficult, then applying multiple definitions is even harder, creating practical problems in many realms.
The Biology of Exercise
Exercise training provokes widespread transformations in the human body, requiring coordinated changes in muscle composition, blood flow, neuronal and hormonal signaling, and metabolism. These changes enhance physical performance, improve mental health, and delay the onset of aging and disease. Understanding the molecular basis of these changes is therefore important for optimizing athletic ability and for developing drugs that elicit therapeutic effects. Written and edited by experts in the field, this collection from Cold Spring Harbor Perspectives in Medicine examines the biological basis of exercise from the molecular to the systemic levels. Contributors discuss how transcriptional regul...
The Sports Gene
The New York Times bestseller – with a new afterword about early specialization in youth sports – from the author of Range: Why Generalists Triumph in a Specialized World. The debate is as old as physical competition. Are stars like Usain Bolt, Michael Phelps, and Serena Williams genetic freaks put on Earth to dominate their respective sports? Or are they simply normal people who overcame their biological limits through sheer force of will and obsessive training? In this controversial and engaging exploration of athletic success and the so-called 10,000-hour rule, David Epstein tackles the great nature vs. nurture debate and traces how far science has come in solving it. Through on-the-ground reporting from below the equator and above the Arctic Circle, revealing conversations with leading scientists and Olympic champions, and interviews with athletes who have rare genetic mutations or physical traits, Epstein forces us to rethink the very nature of athleticism.
Physical Manoeuvres to Prevent Vasovagal Syncope and Initial Orthostatic Hypotension
Vasovagal syncope ("the common faint") and near syncope from initial orthostatic hypotension are huge medical problems given the number of patients and their impact on quality of life. The treatment options are often unsatisfactory. The studies in this thesis set out to investigate the potential benefits of physical counter-manoeuvres in the acute management of vasovagal syncope and initial orthostatic hypotension. Once shown to be effective, further studies elucidated how they work.
