Seagrasses Monitoring Ecology Physiology and Management

Seagrasses Monitoring Ecology Physiology and Management

Seagrasses are becoming widely used as in situ indicators of the relative health and condition of subtropical and tropical estuarine ecosystems. To permit meaningful management of our estuaries there is clearly a need to develop and refine ways of effectively monitoring and assessing seagrasses. Seagrasses: Monitoring Ecology Physiology and Management includes the peer-reviewed written results of presentations made at a recent workshop that addressed this very issue. A total of 28 original research and review chapters are organized around four major themes: Ecology and Physiology Monitoring and Trends Management and Restoration. Additional research study results not completed at the time of the workshop are also included as they are directly related to the topic of seagrass management ecology. Overall Seagrasses: Monitoring Ecology Physiology and Management encompasses the latest research in seagrass management ecology to assist in the promotion of a dialogue between the research and environmental management communities. Not only will this work serve as a cornerstone for continued improvement in effectively monitoring the health and condition of near coastal waters but also as a reference central to the premise that effective and efficient assessment of seagrasses will aid in estuarine ecosystem management. | Seagrasses Monitoring Ecology Physiology and Management

Understanding Human Anatomy and Pathology An Evolutionary and Developmental Guide for Medical Students

Understanding Human Anatomy and Pathology An Evolutionary and Developmental Guide for Medical Students

Understanding Human Anatomy and Pathology: An Evolutionary and Developmental Guide for Medical Students provides medical students with a much easier and more comprehensive way to learn and understand human gross anatomy by combining state-of-the-art knowledge about human anatomy evolution development and pathology in one book. The book adds evolutionary pathological and developmental information in a way that reduces the difficulty and total time spent learning gross anatomy by making learning more logical and systematic. It also synthesizes data that would normally be available for students only by consulting several books at a time. Anatomical illustrations are carefully selected to follow the style of those seen in human anatomical atlases but are simpler in their overall configuration making them easier to understand without overwhelming students with visual information. The book‘s organization is also more versatile than most human anatomy texts so that students can refer to different sections according to their own learning styles. Because it is relatively short in length and easily transportable students can take this invaluable book anywhere and use it to understand most of the structures they need to learn for any gross anatomy course. | Understanding Human Anatomy and Pathology An Evolutionary and Developmental Guide for Medical Students

Advancing the Profession of Exercise Physiology

Advancing the Profession of Exercise Physiology

In recent times the ASEP (American Society of Exercise Physiologists) leaders have developed and implemented academic standards to promote professionalism in academic programs throughout the U. S. The effort represents a significant change in the scope and the monitoring of the exercise physiologists' accountability. Through these new standards all academic exercise physiologists are challenged by ASEP to accept responsibility for promoting the professionalization and self-regulation that will lead to lead to improved client and patient care when prescribing exercise medicine. Accreditation helps to reduce unnecessary variation within and between academic programs. Moreover given the collaborative improvement in academic programs and faculty responsibility to the undergraduate students the quality of their educational care will be significantly improved. Academic exercise physiologists must take responsibility for where exercise physiology is today and take responsibility to the evolving state of exercise physiology and student market-driven career opportunities in exercise medicine. Advancing the Profession of Exercise Physiology provides understanding and guidance on the importance and the significance of academic leadership in promoting the profession of exercise physiology as a healthcare profession that is founded on professionalism accreditation ethical practice and entrepreneurial skills. This new volume examines the ethical need for professionalism in exercise physiology which is in turn imperative for future growth and sustainability. | Advancing the Profession of Exercise Physiology
