Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Beginning with prehumans running down prey, this book describes how ancient, medieval and modern runners have come to run ever faster. Writers of antiquity left few detailed accounts of running but in the early 1800s detailed accounts of running feats and matches appeared in newspapers, journals and books. Nineteenth century pioneers like George Seward, Harry Hutchens, Walter George and Bernie Wefers are here given long-deserved recognition. The six-day Go-as-You-Please races of the 1870s and 1880s--featuring running's first great female performer, Amy Howard--are discussed. Twentieth century luminaries Helen Stephens, Jesse Owens, Paavo Nurmi, Emil Zatopek, Bob Hayes, Abebe Bikila and Joan Benoit-Samuelson are included, along with the Bunion Derby races of 1928-1929. New material for this revised and expanded second edition includes coverage of the 1970s running boom, women marathon pioneers, the impact of drugs on running, and the feats of 21st century runners such as Usain Bolt, Paula Radcliffe and Haile Gebrselassie.

Download or read book Neuroscience in Science Fiction Films written by Sharon Packer, M.D. and published by McFarland. This book was released on 2014-11-19 with total page 298 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As the gap between science fiction and science fact has narrowed, films that were intended as pure fantasy at the time of their premier have taken on deeper meaning. This volume explores neuroscience in science fiction films, focusing on neuroscience and psychiatry as running themes in SF and finding correlations between turning points in "neuroscience fiction" and advances in the scientific field. The films covered include The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde, The Island of Dr. Moreau, Robocop, The Stepford Wives, The Mind Snatchers and iconic franchises like Terminator, Ironman and Planet of the Apes. Examining the parallel histories of psychiatry, neuroscience and cinema, this book shows how science fiction films offer insightful commentary on the scientific and philosophical developments of their times.
Download or read book Sport and Criminal Behavior written by Jason W. Lee and published by . This book was released on 2009 with total page 308 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Sport is filled with many paradoxes. Although fitness, strength, and other seemingly healthful benefits are inherently part of sport, there is also the constant presence of unhealthy and inappropriate associations. This dichotomy is quite prevalent in many forms in contemporary sport and Sport and Criminal Behavior examines some of the most relevant and thought-provoking occurrences of criminal and quasi-criminal behavior in sport. By identifying pertinent issues, including motives and causes associated with such actions, this work presents a comprehensive view of these issues while providing ways such matters can be effectively dealt with in contemporary society. Among the topics addressed in this work are: drug issues, violence, gambling, ticket scalping, hazing, fraud in nonprofit sport, homeland security issues and disaster preparedness in sport and intellectual property (trademark law, copyright misappropriation, and criminal implications). "The book is designed as an introductory textbook for college-level sport-management students, and as such it succeeds. But other readers will find it an interesting beginning treatment of a timely topic... Summing Up: Recommended." -- CHOICE Magazine

Download or read book Anabolic Steroids and Sports and Drug Testing 1991 1997 written by and published by . This book was released on 1998 with total page 112 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Paterson takes up where she left off in 1990 with more than 550 annotated citations covering the Fall of 1990 through the Summer of 1997. Those seven years, framed by the Anabolic Steroids Control Act of 1990 and the controversial Vernonica v. Acton decision upholding the constitutionality of random, suspicionless drug testing of public high school athletes, were particularly important to those involved in the sports/steroids issue. Paterson covers articles that discuss the physical, emotional, and behavioral aspects of steroid use. She emphasizes substantial review articles, human research studies, and use surveys, and includes such topics as drug education and prevention efforts, the superhormones DHEA and melatonin, and alternatives to steroids that athletes can use to enhance their training. Each entry includes complete bibliographic information, and an annotation.
