Linking key concepts, themes and problems together, the text offers an interdisciplinary approach with its topical and timely case studies and illustrations which illuminate the latest research in the field. Key features include:
A number of international case studies including children and military conflict, child migrants, children and networking sites, child trafficking, and children as consumers Questions which help you to make connections between topics and get you reflecting on your own childhood Engaging learning features including chapter aims, boxed sections, summaries and further reading suggestions
Six essays dealing with the science of the study of race, racial differences, race and psychology, and the impossibility of "cultural transference" between races, penned by the famous French anthropologist and founder of the science of crowd psychology, Doctor Gustave le Bon. "The Study of Races and Present-day Anthropology" points out that races can be clearly defined by obvious physical attributes alone, and that what "mainly differentiates races, quite as well from the point of view of civilization as from the anatomical point of view, is that some races] possess a certain number of individuals having very developed brains, whereas the others possess very few such individuals, or even do not possess any." "The Method of Averages in Anthropology" provides an insight into how "averages" are misrepresented by statisticians because an "average" can only be determined by examining like individuals, and not from any group with vastly differing characteristics. "On the Present Formation of a Race in the Tatras Mountains" shows how the process of natural selection as imposed by geographical isolation produces a uniform racial type. "Algeria and the Ideas Prevailing in France Concerning Colonization" discusses the disastrous route then French colonial policy was following in Algeria, and how French attempts to dominate the natives would only result in unending hatred. It also deals with the question of Islam and that religion's total opposition and utter incompatibility with European culture and civilization. It then moves on to a fascinating study of the racial elements which make up modern India. "In this paper I have indicated the dangers that exist in wanting to impose on a people the institutions, ideas, and needs of different peoples. I shall add, moreover, that this task is an absolutely impossible one and that no European nation will ever succeed in realizing it." "Applications of Psychology to the Classification of Races" discusses the inevitable destruction of all racial identity which will result from intermixture. "These moral and intellectual qualities determine the evolution of a people and the role that they play in history...they represent the entire heritage of a race, and are therefore the fundamental motive powers of direction. The institutions are created by these motive powers, and it is but only by them that they can be formed." "The Influence of Education and European Institutions on the Indigenous Populations of the Colonies" provides the clearest evidence yet that it is impossible to change the nature of a race by imposing upon them the cloak of another race's culture. This cloak will always remain a veneer, to be torn off once the real racial nature of the subjected population reasserts itself. All these essays were first published in the Review Scientifique, the official journal of the Anthropological Society of Paris, 1879 to 1881, and in the Review Philosophique, July 1886.

Автор: Artur Struzik Название: Measuring Leg Stiffness During Vertical Jumps ISBN: 3030317935 ISBN-13(EAN): 9783030317935 Издательство: Springer Рейтинг: Цена: 93160.00 T Наличие на складе: Невозможна поставка. Описание: This book presents a thorough description and critical discussion of different approaches to measuring leg stiffness during vertical jumps, as well as practical applications. Various topics covered include the applicability of the spring-mass (linear) model of the human motion system, leg stiffness controversies and interpretations, and computational and measuring methods of leg stiffness during vertical jumps. Additionally, a description of a research project performed expressly for inclusion in this book is given; the study aims to determine normative values for leg stiffness for young, healthy, non-athletes during single vertical jumps to maximal and specific heights. A final chapter covers additional perspectives, enabling the reader to acquire different perspectives on measuring leg stiffness during vertical jumps across a breadth of information and interpretations. Measuring Leg Stiffness During Vertical Jumps: Theory and Methods is an ideal book for researchers and practitioners in the fields of biomedical engineering, biomechanics, and sport sciences.

Описание: Europe is trying to streamline its policy on the integration of immigrants and ethnic minorities. The information available on integration in the different countries is still very variable in its extent and quality. In this report, authors from sixteen European countries describe how integration is approached in their country, what the integration objectives of their government are, where the problems lie, and what the implications of this are for monitoring the process of integration over time in their country.
