Download or read book AstroFit written by William J. Evans and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2003-05-13 with total page 322 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Transforming your body into one that feels twenty to thirty years younger is no longer a dream. For astronauts, this form of age reversal is essential. On long-duration space journeys, the accelerated "aging" that occurs as a result of being in a weightless environment causes crippling muscle and bone loss, as well as balance problems. The need for a program of age reversal became a call to action for Dr. William J. Evans, expert adviser to NASA and former head of the Nutrition, Physical Fitness, and Rapid Rehabilitation Team of the National Space Biomedical Institution. As a result of his remarkable success, readers of AstroFit can now achieve the same age-reversal benefits as the astronauts in training for an eventual journey to Mars. With AstroFit you will: Increase and maintain the rate of muscle growth, while trimming and sculpting your entire body Stop bone loss and the bone-thinning disease of osteoporosis Improve balance while counteracting muscle weaknesses and enhancing muscle "memory" Ensure permanent loss of body fat Reset your metabolism level Prevent muscle loss by following the fourteen-day muscle maintenance meal plan you will not find in any other book Strengthen your heart, returning your body to the cardiofitness level you had years earlier Reduce elevated levels of the stress hormone cortisol (the major aging hormone), stopping tissue loss, improving neural function, and preventing overall debilitation Boost your immune system's natural protective ability to maximum levels Dr. Evans's revolutionary program is based on scientific discoveries fully explained to the lay reader for the very first time. With an investment of just thirty minutes a day, AstroFit helps you shed extra pounds and provides you with a powerful, youthful body for the rest of your life. At the heart of AstroFit is an all-new exercise regimen based on Dr. Evans's laboratory research for NASA. This bestselling author details the benefits of E-Centric training, which literally reverses the timing sequence of every strength exercise you've ever been told to do. The AstroFit exercises are divided into three progressive programs that can be performed at home, in the gym, or at your office, and require no special equipment. Dr. Evans also provides a powerful meal plan that allows you to eat for optimum health without ever feeling hunger. And throughout the book are first-person accounts attesting to incredible successes achieved in just ninety days.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Princess Diaries for adults! This clever and witty debut follows a fictitious princess whose royal advisor is a mechanic who takes his advice from Bruce Springsteen. Spunky, plucky Isabella Cordage has taken Bisbania's royal family by storm, having fallen in love with the Prince. But being the wife to the heir to the throne is a complicated matter, and Isabella's every aching misstep soon earns her the title "Dizzy Izzy." Determined to find herself a trustworthy adviser, she enlists her former car mechanic Geoffrey and brings him and his wife to live with them in Bisbania. Under Geoffrey's tutelage, which comes in the form of Bruce Springsteen lyrics, Isabella becomes the model of everything good and chic -- until tragedy strikes: an airplane piloted by Geoffrey, with the Prince as passenger, crashes, and only one body washes ashore. This contemporary fairy tale sports surprising secrets, hidden identities, and an anonymous narrator whose personal stake in revealing the story is gradually exposed.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Positively Smarter brings together seven principles for connecting the science of neuroplasticity to practical strategies for enhancing the synergy of happiness, achievement, and physical well-being. Moving beyond common myths, the text builds an evidence-based paradigm to empower readers to take practical steps to move forward. Brings together current research on cognitive psychology, education (learning), and implications of neuroscience to suggest powerful ways to enhance the kind of cognitive function and productivity that leads to happiness and success Applies implications of current research showing that happiness is a skill and that positive affect can lead to higher levels of creative problem solving, productivity, achievement, and well-being Shares research and strategies for supporting physical activity and nutrition that may enhance neuroplasticity, cognitive performance, and positive affect Puts learners first and then brings in the science, presenting creative or adaptive strategies that can be applied in the real world Includes action assessments to guide readers in taking concrete steps to achieve the goals they set for themselves Identifies deeply held assumptions that innate talent, genes, socioeconomic status, and ethnicity mean that a significant percentage of the population lacks the neurocognitive potential to achieve at higher levels Draws on the authors’ research from a broad range of fields in order to maximize the positive impact of a synergistic approach

Book excerpt: Recipient of Publisher’s Weekly Starred Review! On the move . . . again? Wondering when you will “arrive”? Sometimes God leads people out of familiar territory so he can tell them who they are. That moment you depart, you experience reinvention, renewal, and freedom. You get a redo on the adjectives associated with your name. Almost There is for those on the move and those who feel restless right where they are. It’s for those who struggle with not belonging, with feeling unsettled, with believing that home is out of their reach, at least for the moment. And Almost There is for those who find themselves in a transient lifestyle they didn’t expect—say, moving across the country for a new job or the military or an opportunity to begin again. With imaginative storytelling and witty, relatable prose, Bekah DiFelice offers wisdom for those struggling to belong in a world where home is constantly shifting. When our hope of home is rooted in an unchangeable God, we are not uprooted, lost, or made homeless by change. We become found ones on the move.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This groundbreaking new medical work demonstrates how modern sedentary lifestyles contribute to poor health, obesity, and diabetes, and how health can be dramatically improved by continuous, low-intensity, movement that challenges the force of gravity. Citing her original NASA research on how weightlessness weakens astronauts' muscles, bones, and overall health, the author presents a simple and effective plan for maintaining good health throughout life by developing new lifestyle habits of frequent gravity-challenging movement. Written for everyone who spends most of their lives sitting in chairs, at desks, and in cars, this practical, easy-to-follow action plan outlines simple gravity-challenging activities such as standing up frequently, stretching, walking, and dancing that are more healthful and effective than conventional diet and exercise regimens.

Download or read book The Universe of Digital Sky Surveys written by Nicola R. Napolitano and published by Springer. This book was released on 2016-05-16 with total page 296 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: These are the proceedings of a meeting in honour of Massimo Capaccioli at the occasion of his 70th birthday. The conference aimed at summarizing the results from the main current and past digital sky survey projects and at discussing how these can be used to inspire ongoing projects and better plan the future ones. Over the last decades, digital sky surveys performed with dedicated telescopes and finely-tuned wide-field cameras, have revolutionized astronomy. They have become the main tool to investigate the nearby and far away universe, thus providing new insights in the understanding of the galaxy structure and assembly across time, the dark components of the universe, as well as the history of our own galaxy. They have also opened the time domain leading to a new understanding of the transient phenomena in the universe. By providing public access to top quality data, digital surveys have also changed the everyday practice of astronomers who have become less dependent on direct access to large observing facilities. The full scientific exploitation of these surveys has also triggered significant advances in both space and ground based technology and in the field of multi-object spectroscopy. The various sections of this book are devoted to different relevant aspects of astrophysics in the era of digital sky surveys and include both review and shorter, more focused contributions.
