Paperback. Etat : Very Good. This logically-organized reference for exercise physiologists, physical therapists, athletic trainers, sports medics, and strength and conditioning specialists refers to classic texts in muscle physiology and to recent discoveries in the field. It also includes research methodology and results. The author first examines the wide-ranging information known about skeletal muscle, and then provides practical examples of how physiological concepts are related to clinical disorders resulting from muscle or nerve fibre defects. He explains how muscle structure translates into function; how muscles develop in the embryo and obtain their nerve supply; the cellular processes which take place when muscles work, and how certain clinical disorders result from specific defects in muscle and nerve. The book has been read, but is in excellent condition. Pages are intact and not marred by notes or highlighting. The spine remains undamaged.

Paperback. Etat : new. Paperback. The Laidback Lifestyle is about being happy. Have you ever wondered why some people are happy and others are not? It's not about money because there are a lot of unhappy people in the world with money. Happiness is "LIVING LIFE ON YOUR TERMS." All you need are some basic principles to follow each day. It doesn't have to be complicated. In fact, It's mandatory that you do not make it complicated. If you make it complicated it defeats the whole purpose. The Laidback Lifestyle is a simple, easy-to-read book with tips on how you can increase your productivity all while minimizing the stress in your life. Work smarter and not harder. It's about the attitude and mindset. Obviously, there are many things that are not in our control in our lives but we always have control over our attitude and mindset. Most people never have this type of life. They live their entire life full of worry, trying to get ahead or just catch up in most cases and then they die without really enjoying the ride. And we only get one ride. This is not what life should be about for anyone. Even if you don't think that you're naturally a laidback person, this trait is very attainable no matter your situation or personality. Whether it's not enough money, love, or happiness, anyone can improve their current situation with these basic tips on living your day-to-day life. This is not a scientific reference book with a lot of facts and theories. This is common sense, ways to improve your life. And most importantly do it with a SENSE OF HUMOR. You can't accomplish this if you don't laugh. Reading this book may not be a "drastic overnight life changing experience" but it will improve your life one little piece at a time. In The Laidback Lifestyle Book you will learn how to: 1. Simplify the complicated stuff 2. Organize yourself (inside and out) 3. Look at the world with a sense of humor 4. Not be an asshole. 5. Make yourself useful to others and yourself 6. Enjoy your life and appreciate it no matter what 7. Use the time that you have left wisely 8. Find your passion 9. Not worry about the little things 10. Live life to the fullest no matter how much money you make At the end of this book is a list of books, audios, websites and blogs to help you continue on your journey to having a laidback life. So what do you have to lose? A few minutes a day? If you don't take the opportunity now, you will be doing the same thing next year that you did last year, and so it goes. If you don't change what you're doing now then you can't expect for things to be any different in the future.

Hardback. Etat : New. In Sherrington's Loom, Alan McComas provides a historical account of the research that has led to recognition of key mechanisms underlying consciousness. Evidence is assembled from a rich variety of sources--neurological patients, animal behavior, laboratory studies, and especially brain stimulation and recording in humans and animals. Among the remarkable advances in the field has been the ability to identify nerve cells in the human brain that store memories of specific people, places, and objects. In addition to dealing with the issue of "free will," the book assembles the information into possible working models for sensations, intentions, and actions. McComas concludes by considering the possibility of consciousness in artificially intelligent systems.

Hardcover. Etat : Good. Etat de la jaquette : Good. 1st Edition. Ex-library with the usual library markings (if not for the library markings this copy would be graded in fine condition); overall a nice used copy! Black boards with silver lettering on the spine. 391 informative and historical pages nicely enhanced by black and white photographs and illustrations! "Galvani's Spark chronicles the gradual understanding of the nerve impulse which is the basis of all thoughts, sensations and actions. The story begins with Luigi Galvani's chance observation of a spark from a friction machine causing a frog's leg to twitch from across the room. The accurate recording and the understanding of the properties of the nerve fiber membrane that makes the impulse possible became the objectives of neuroscientists for over 200 years. The author, Alan J. McComas finely interweaves the stories, the challenges, and the controversies of the most prominent figures in neuroscience, from the histological descriptions of nerve cells by Cajal to the discovery of a three-dimensional structure of ion channels in cell membranes by MacKinnon. Along the way he details the first recordings of the impulse with a cathode ray oscilloscope by Gasser and Erlanger, Adrian's discovery that stimulus intensity is coded by the frequency of nerve impulses, and Hodgkin and Huxley's brilliant voltage clamp experiments, amongst many others. The recognition by Galvani that muscles and nerves have an electrical component triggered the field of neurophysiology and in turn has produced some of the greatest discoveries in neuroscience. 16 investigators of the nerve impulse went on to win or share Nobel prizes and this book not only emphasizes their work but also traces their brilliant careers. For anyone interested in the nervous system and the history of neuroscience, Galvani's Spark: The Story of the Nerve Impulse is essential reading.".
