Routledge Handbook of Sports Performance Analysis
Sport performance analysis techniques help coaches, athletes and sport scientists develop an objective understanding of actual sport performance, as opposed to self-report, fitness tests or laboratory based experiments. For example, contemporary performance analysis enables elite sports people and coaches to obtain live feedback of match statistics and video sequences using flexible internet systems, systems that have become an indispensible tool for all those involved in high performance sport. The Routledge Handbook of Sports Performance Analysis is the most comprehensive guide to this exciting and dynamic branch of sport science ever to be published. The book explores performance analysis...
Healthcare and the Troubles
This book provides the first detailed study of healthcare during the period of the Troubles in Northern Ireland (1968–1998). While there have been some studies of the effects of conflict in the context of Northern Ireland, to date there have been no in-depth histories of the impact of the Troubles on healthcare and the experiences of healthcare professionals. Ruth Duffy's work combines analysis of archival research and oral history interviews to reveal the widespread impact of the conflict on healthcare facilities, their staff, and patients, as well as the broader societal implications of providing services during the Troubles. The book allows the voices of those who worked on the frontline to be heard for the first time, as well as exploring important issues such as medical ethics and neutrality. It offers new and valuable insights into the cost of the Northern Ireland conflict and its legacy today.

The Secret Fire
One Frodo, many Sams: The Secret Fire is the story of Patrick Ardmore, a young man searching for God. He does many, many stupid things along the way, but people seem to love him anyway. Maybe it's the red hair.
Claret Dreams
In 1889, a young boy receives a complete set of handmade golf clubs from his fathers friend, the Patriarch of Golf, Old Tom Morris. The clubs, imbued with seemingly mystical powers, are passed down through the ensuing generations of the MacCoren family. In 1962, Ian MacCoren qualifies for the British Open Championship using these very clubs. While others scoff at the use of such ancient implements, given the evolution of golf technology, Ians game makes believers of the golf world. Opponents like Gary Player and Arnold Palmer test the youths steely nerves as he attempts to accomplish the impossible and win the British Open Championship as an unknown amateur. Even as Ian shocks the world on the golf course, family tragedy and personal disaster offer additional obstacles in Ians quest for the Claret Jug. Discover the birth and evolution of golf, the inception and development of the British Open Championship, and grab a front row spot in the gallery for the dramatic conclusion of Claret Dreams.
Economics, Management and Optimization in Sports
Ever since the first Olympic Games in Ancient Greece, sports have become an integral part of human civilization. The last decade has been commemorated by the centennial celebration of the modern Olympic movement. With great anticipation, the Olympics return to Athens, Greece, and we are once again reminded that we live in one of the most exciting periods in the history of sports.

Tim is a young labourer with a disability. Mary is a successful mid-50s business executive. What begins as a chance meeting between them soon develops into a life-changing relationship for both. Exploring notions of love, loss and acceptance, and set in the modern day, Colleen McCullough's seminal Australian story has been sensitively adapted by playwright Tim McGarry for the stage.
The Engineering of Sport
Science and technology has been used more and more in the last few decades to gain advantage over competitors. Quite often, however, the actual science involved is not published because a suitable journal cannot be found. The Engineering of Sport brings together work from a very diverse range of subjects including Engineering, Physics, Materials and Biomechanics. The Engineering of Sport represent work which was represented at the 1st International Conference on the Engineering of Sport held in Sheffield, UK in July 1996. Many sports were represented and the material covered split into nine topics covering aerodynamics, biomechanics, design, dynamics, instrumentation, materials, mechanics, modelling, motion analysis, and vibrations. It should be of interest to specialists in all areas of sports research.
