Equine exercise physiology | David Marlin, Kathryn Nankervis usato Manualistica Piante Animali

Equine exercise physiology | David Marlin, Kathryn Nankervis usato Manualistica Piante Animali

Equine exercise physiology is an area that has been subject to major scientific advances over the last 30 years, largely due to the increased availability of high-speed treadmills and techniques for recording physiological function during exercise. Despite the scientific advances, many riders and trainers are still using little more than experience and intuition to train their horses. The aim of this book is to sort the fact from the fiction for the benefit of those involved in training, managing or working with horses, and to provide an up-to-date summary of the state of play in equine exercise physiology. Scientific theories are explained from first principles, with the assumption that the reader has no previous scientific background. The book is designed to save competitors and trainers a lot of time and effort trying to extract information in piecemeal fashion from a host of reference sources. For the first time, everything you need to know about exercising and training horses is here in one text.

Debrett's Guide to Heraldry and Regalia | David Williamson usato Manualistica Collezionismo

Debrett's Guide to Heraldry and Regalia | David Williamson usato Manualistica Collezionismo

From the late twelfth century kings and noblemen began to devise emblems to display on their shields and later on the surcoats they wore over their armour - hence 'coat of arms' - in order to recognise each other and their followers. The complex system of rules that has evolved around the use of heraldic charges is explained in fascinating detail with illustrations showing how the designs have developed. English, Scottish and European heraldry is covered and there is a chapter devoted to the central role played by the College of Arms and its heralds and the Court of Chivalry.The history of English regalia and the coronation ceremony are central to the second part of the book, which also looks at civic regalia and regalia worldwide. A detailed list of the existing royal regalia in England and Scotland is included as well as a chronological list of English coronations, their dates, locations and officiating prelates. There is also a summary of existing royal regalia throughout the world, which notes those that are on public display.

Survival and Sociology - Vindicating the Human Subject | Kurt H. Wolff usato Scienze umane Sociologia

Survival and Sociology - Vindicating the Human Subject | Kurt H. Wolff usato Scienze umane Sociologia

Kurt Wolff seeks to answer a large ques­tion: what are the justifications and tasks of sociology at a time when hu­mankind and its planet are in jeop­ardy? Since his youth in Germany, where he was a student ofthelate, great Karl Mannheim, the author has ori­ented much of his work to the sociology of sociology. Survival and Sociology takes into ac­count that this age, for the first time in history, extends to society what was only in the province of nature and god—the ability to destroy as well as create life. That being the case, the concern of so­ciology must shift from everyday issues to ideas and policies aimed at averting human extinction. The act of "surrendering" to our novel condition may give us a clue. In any case, it re-establishes our continuity with such founding figures as Max We­ber. Max Scheler. Alfred Schutz, Emile Durkheim. Georg Simmel, and Mann­heim himself. As a result. Wolffs work can be seen as both innovative and continuing a grand tradition of analysis. The an­swers given are very much in terms of specific American conditions, but also provide the sort of theoretical scaffold­ing that underwrites current East-West negotiations on practical issues relat­ing to arms negotiations and peace set­tlements. It is thus a work that should have wide appeal to students of the his­tory of ideas, sociologists of knowledge, and people interested in the philosoph­ical foundations of war and peace.

Generazione in ecstasy - Droghe, miti e musica della generazione techno | Fabrizia Bagozzi usato Scienze umane Sociologia

Generazione in ecstasy - Droghe, miti e musica della generazione techno | Fabrizia Bagozzi usato Scienze umane Sociologia

Un viaggio in più direzioni. Innanzi tutto un viaggio per capire chi sono, cosa pensano, come si divertono gli under 25 degli anni '90: una generazione invisibile se non per l'uso di ecstasy e per gli incidenti spettacolari all'uscita delle mega discoteche. E poi un viaggio dentro l'ecstasy, la loro droga preferita: quante varietà ne esistono, i nomi di strada con cui viene riconosciuta e richiesta, come si consuma, quali sono i suoi effetti fisici e neurologici. E ancora, un viaggio sulle rotte illegali dell'ecstasy, il nuovo business della droga degli anni '90. Ultima tappa: quel che c'è in materia di prevenzione e gli interventi concreti. (Editore).

Masters Of Origami: The Art of Paper Folding | AA.VV. usato Manualistica Varia

Masters Of Origami: The Art of Paper Folding | AA.VV. usato Manualistica Varia

Designer and author David Carson pronounced the "End of Print" in response to the virtual world's ever-increasing influence on design. And if "Ortlos: Architecture of the Networks" is any indication, it seems that the group will soon pronounce the "End of Architecture" (as we know it). Ortlos--which means "placeless" in German--is a virtual office (or platform) that deals with architectural topics, urban planning issues and interface design. Its members include a global network of architects, web designers, media theorists, net artists and IT specialists, all of whom are experts in their various fields and professions, and all of whom can collaborate on online projects that are either of interest to them, or specific to their locales. "Ortlos" also describes the virtual office's basic working method: not being dependent on a specific physical space to work, but located instead in networks and anywhere where an Internet connection is provided. The firm aims to generate advanced instruments for architectural and urban design, a sort of platform, a creative pool supported with information and databases: It is a virtual office that never sleeps. Designed and written by the firm's "partners," "Architecture of the Networks" documents Ortlos' projects from 2000 to 2003. Each of the 12 projects shown and explained here by Ortlos incorporates various approaches to the fields of architecture, urban planning, media theory, product design, installation art and interface design. This new and fresh way of addressing contemporary architecture also includes a research project about network collaborations, and Carson's interpretation of Ortlos' architectural work through the specific language of graphic design.

Rites of Power - Symbolism, Ritual, and Politics Since the Middle Ages | Sean Wilentz usato Storia Storiografia Temi

Rites of Power - Symbolism, Ritual, and Politics Since the Middle Ages | Sean Wilentz usato Storia Storiografia Temi

Rites of Power provides a sweeping overview of the symbolism of power from tenth-century France to modern Britain. Approaching their topic from an eclectic range of intellectual traditions, the authors turn the study of politics, social relations, and cultural creation into a single endeavor.The essays begin with three assumptions: that all societies are ordered and governed by "master fictions" (divine right, equality for all) which make political hierarchy appear natural; that political rhetoric includes nonverbal communication (royal portraits, statistics on crop yields); and that common rhetoric can mean different things to various segments of a culture ("states' rights" during the American Civil War).Societies studied include France and Spain in the Middle Ages, post-Revolutionary France, the modern British monarchy, tsarist Russia, colonial Virginia, and industrial Germany. The essays were selected to provide methodological as well as historical coverage; the result is a comprehensive treatment along the cutting edge of several disciplines. This book will appeal to scholars and students in the fields of history, political science, sociology, anthropology, and art history.

To crown the waves - The great navies of the First World War | Vincent P. O'Hara, W. David Dickson, Richard Worth usato Storia Guerre mondiali

To crown the waves - The great navies of the First World War | Vincent P. O'Hara, W. David Dickson, Richard Worth usato Storia Guerre mondiali

The only comparative analysis available of the great navies of World War I, this work studies the Royal Navy of the United Kingdom, the German Kaiserliche Marine, the United States Navy, the French Marine Nationale, the Italian Regia Marina, the Austro-Hungarian Kaiserliche und Königliche Kriegsmarine, and the Imperial Russian Navy to demonstrate why the war was won, not in the trenches, but upon the waves. It explains why these seven fleets fought the way they did and why the war at sea did not develop as the admiralties and politicians of 1914 expected. After discussing each navy's goals and circumstances and how their individual characteristics impacted the way they fought, the authors deliver a side-by-side analysis of the conflict's fleets, with each chapter covering a single navy. Parallel chapter structures assure consistent coverage of each fleet--history, training, organization, doctrine, materiel, and operations--and allow readers to easily compare information among the various navies. The book clearly demonstrates how the naval war was a collision of 19th century concepts with 20th century weapons that fostered unprecedented development within each navy and sparked the evolution of the submarine and aircraft carrier. The work is free from the national bias that infects so many other books on World War I navies. As they pioneer new ways of viewing the conflict, the authors provide insights and material that would otherwise require a massive library and mastery of multiple languages. Such a study has special relevance today as 20th-century navies struggle to adapt to 21st-century technologies.
