Abstract

De toepassing van bio-antropologische kaders op de verklaring van sociaal gedrag is een fascinerende studie waarin het begrip evolutie centraal staat. Om de verschillende aspecten hiervan beter te begrijpen, ontstonden deeldisciplines zoals de sociobiologie, de sociale biologie, de evolutiepsychologie en de gedragsgenetica. Ziekte en gezondheid, uiterlijke en innerlijke kenmerken van menselijk gedrag en de verschillen tussen individuen en groepen zijn thema's die iedereen aanbelangen. Een beter begrip van criminaliteit biedt potentieel om tot een totaalbeeld van gedragsverschillen te komen. De biosociale analyse van antisociaal of afwijkend gedrag is daarvoor essentieel en krijgt dan ook bijzondere aandacht in dit boek.

Abstract

This book is a practical account of how people who attract autism labels can come to behave in ways that give rise to serious concerns in other people and, sometimes, themselves. The authors identify the range of needs that may be expressed through behaviours that cause concern and provide strategies for addressing both needs and behaviours.

Abstract

This is an advanced biomechanics text using mechanical, mathematical and biological definitions and concepts and the application to human movements. It provides a brief but explicit introduction to the elements of biomechanical analyses and the principles that underlie all human motion and then delves into a complete array of fundamental human movements and their components. Readers are led through a progression of logical biomechanical indices that help to identify and build on mechanical and mathematical concepts that explain how human movements are achieved and can be modified.The unique approach of this book is the focus on fundamental human activities as the area within which to develop advanced analytical skills. The author shows how to perform analyses using examples that move from the simple to complex.Superbly illustrated, this book will be invaluable to those pursuing studies in advanced quantitative biomechanics.

Abstract

All-new content addresses recent changes in sport skills, techniques, and equipment that affect biomechanics. The new book incorporates updated explanations and more than 125 illustrations and photos. It also contains more sidebars explaining techniques, achievements, and equipment related to the mechanical concept discussed in each chapter. End-of-chapter review questions and practical activities allow coaches and sport science students the opportunity to conduct hands-on experiments on concepts such as torque, momentum, inertia, and lift. Answers and solutions appear in the back of the book, where you'll also find a glossary, bibliography, and general index. (Bron: www.humankinetics.com)

Abstract

Written by a physicist with professional dance training, Physics and the Art of Dance explains how dancers can achieve better, safer performances through an understanding of physics in motion. Using simple, non-technical terms, Kenneth Laws combines his knowledge of both physics and dance to describe how the laws of gravity, momentum, and energy affect dancing bodies. The book explores the natural laws that govern the subtleties of balance, the techniques of leaps and pirouettes, and the impressive lifts and turns executed by ballet partners. Finally, Laws offers insight into two current discu
