Download or read book The Health Benefits of Dog Walking for People and Pets written by Rebecca Ann Johnson and published by Purdue University Press. This book was released on 2011 with total page 215 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Obesity is a national epidemic in the United States. It is estimated that by 2018 the cost of treating weight-related illnesses will double to almost $350 billion a year, while a 2010 report by the US Surgeon General estimates that two-thirds of American adults and almost one in three children are now overweight or obese. This volume originated in a special 2009 symposium funded in part by a grant from the Eunice Kennedy Shriver National Institute of Child Health and Human Development (NICHD) and sponsorship from Mars WalthamA on how human-animal interaction may help fight obesity across the lifespan. The authors present scientific evidence about the benefits of dog walking for improving human and animal health, and case studies of programs that are using this powerful expression of the human-animal bond to combat obesity. The volume is especially valuable as a sourcebook of evidence-based studies for public health professionals treating overweight humans and veterinarians treating obese dogs.

Download or read book Articulating Design Thinking written by Paul Rodgers and published by Libri Publishing. This book was released on 2012 with total page 246 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Articulating Design Thinking contains a collection of thought-provoking papers from researchers based in eight different countries around the world Sweden, Italy, Denmark, Israel, UK, USA, Australia and Turkey that all deal with articulations of design thinking from a variety of disciplinary perspectives. These include: architecture, inclusive design, industrial design and interaction design. The phrase design thinking has become cemented in our everyday lexicon. Design thinking now routinely extends, so it is claimed, to contemporary forms of design, engineering, business and management practice. Often viewed as a particular style of creative thinking-in-action design thinking, we are told, can transform the way we develop products, services, processes and even strategy. A lot of work has been published in recent years on the subject of design thinking and how designers think and act. A frequently held consensus across this work is the notion that design thinking has a number of common features that are typified and manifested in strong commitment and personal motivation of the individual. It is widely suggested that designers possess the courage to take risks, they are prepared to fail and that they are motivated and committed to work hard. Designers, during their design thinking activities, regularly (re)define and/or frame problems; they adopt holistic thinking and they sketch, visualise and model possible ideas throughout their design processes. This book examines the many facets of design thinking across a range of different design domains through comparing and contrasting the processes, methods and approaches contained within this thought-provoking collection of papers.
Download or read book Evaluation in Context written by Geoff Thompson and published by John Benjamins Publishing Company. This book was released on 2014-02-04 with total page 432 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: It is now an acknowledged fact in the world of linguistics that the concept of evaluation is crucial, and that there is very little – if any – discourse that cannot be analyzed through the prism of its evaluative content. This book presents some of the latest developments in the study of this phenomenon. Released more than a decade later than Hunston and Thompson’s (2000) Evaluation in Text, Evaluation in Context is designed as its sequel, in an attempt to continue, update and extend the different avenues of research opened by the earlier work. Both theoretical and empirical studies on the topic are presented, with the intention of scrutinizing as many of its dimensions as possible, by not only looking at evaluative texts, but also considering the aspects of the discursive context that affect the final evaluative meaning at both the production and reception stages of the evaluative act. The editors’ main objective has been to gather contributions which investigate the manifold faces and phases of evaluation by presenting a wide variety of perspectives that include different linguistic theories (e.g. Axiological Semantics, Functionalism or Politeness Theory), different levels of linguistic description (e.g. phonological, lexical or semantic), and different text types and contexts (e.g. the evaluation found in ironic discourse, the multimodality of media discourse or the world of politics, just to name a few). The volume can be of use not only for scholars who study the evaluative function of language, but also for students who wish to pursue research in the area.
