The first systematic collaboration between cognitive scientists and sports psychologists considers the mind-body relationship from the perspective of athletic skill and sports practice.This landmark work is the first systematic collaboration between cognitive scientists and sports psychologists that considers the mind-body relationship from the perspective of athletic skill and sports practice. With twenty-six chapters by leading researchers, the book connects and integrates findings from fields that range from philosophy of mind to sociology of sports. The chapters show not only that sports can tell scientists how the human mind works but also that the scientific study of the human mind can help athletes succeed. Sports psychology research has always focused on the themes, notions, and models of embodied cognition; embodied cognition, in turn, has found striking confirmation of its theoretical claims in the psychological accounts of sports performance and athletic skill. Athletic skill is a legitimate form of intelligence, involving cognitive faculties no less sophisticated and complex than those required by mathematical problem solving.After presenting the key concepts necessary for applying embodied cognition to sports psychology, the book discusses skill disruption (the tendency to "choke" under pressure); sensorimotor skill acquisition and how training correlates to the development of cognitive faculties; the intersubjective and social dimension of sports skills, seen in team sports; sports practice in cultural and societal contexts; the notion of "affordance" and its significance for ecological psychology and embodied cognition theory; and the mind's predictive capabilities, which enable anticipation, creativity, improvisation, and imagination in sports performance.ContributorsAna Maria Abreu, Kenneth Aggerholm, Salvatore Maria Aglioti, Jesus Ilundain-Agurruza, Duarte Araujo, Jurgen Beckmann, Kath Bicknell, Geoffrey P.

For the last 25 years, a constraints-based framework has helped to inform the way that many sport scientists seek to understand performance, learning design and the development of expertise and talent in sport. The Constraints-Led Approach: Principles for Sports Coaching and Practice Design provides students and practitioners with the theoretical knowledge required to implement constraints-led approaches in their work.Seeking to bridge the divide between theory and practice, the book sets out an `environment design framework', including practical tools and guidance for the application of the framework in coaching and skill acquisition settings. It includes chapters on constraints-led approaches in golf, athletics and hockey, and provides applied reading for undergraduate and postgraduate students of motor learning, skill acquisition and developing sport expertise.Providing a thorough grounding in the theory behind constraints-led approaches to skill acquisition, and a foundational cornerstone in the Routledge Studies in Constraints-Based Methodologies in Sport series, this is a vital pedagogical resource for students and practising sports coaches, physical education teachers and sport scientists alike.

Shortlisted for the Financial Times and Goldman Sachs Business Book of the Year Award 2012. Why are some nations more prosperous than others? Why Nations Fail sets out to answer this question, with a compelling and elegantly argued new theory: that it is not down to climate, geography or culture, but because of institutions. Drawing on an extraordinary range of contemporary and historical examples, from ancient Rome through the Tudors to modern-day China, leading academics Daron Acemoglu and James A. Robinson show that to invest and prosper, people need to know that if they work hard, they can make money and actually keep it - and this means sound institutions that allow virtuous circles of innovation, expansion and peace. Based on fifteen years of research, and answering the competing arguments of authors ranging from Max Weber to Jeffrey Sachs and Jared Diamond, Acemoglu and Robinson step boldly into the territory of Francis Fukuyama and Ian Morris. They blend economics, politics, history and current affairs to provide a new, powerful and persuasive way of understanding wealth and poverty.

The text is designed for students taking their first course in software engineering with experience in programming using a modern programming language such as Java, Python or Ruby.

Fundamentals of Human Neuropsychology

Historien begynner med tre unge mennesker i en hage på et landsted i England. Det er den varmeste sommerdagen hittil i 1935, men noe hender som gjør at livene deres blir endret for alltid. Denne sommerdagen legger grunnlaget for resten av romanen, som dessuten rommer skildringer av kampene i Europa under siste verdenskrig og ender opp i våre dager. Forfatteren skildrer både det nære og familiære og det brutalt storpolitiske. Dette er en roman om barndom, kjærlighet, krig - og om skam og mulighet for tilgivelse.

Alle snakker om fredsvåren. Vi glemmer at en verden i ruiner møtte menneskene våren 1945. Enorme fysiske ødeleggelser preget store deler av Europa, Asia og Nord-Afrika. Titalls millioner mennesker var døde eller skadede. Hatet mot okkupantmakten, krigsforbrytere og overløpere skulle få utløp - samtidig som lov og rett og sivilisasjon mange steder måtte gjenoppbygges fra grunnen. Folk sultet og var syke, svartebørsen blomstret, millioner kom hjem fra slagmarken, konsentrasjonsleirenes redsler ble avdekket, flyktninger i hundretusenvis var på vandring. Samtidig var 1945 en tid for optimisme og gjenoppbygging, for fremtidsvisjoner og fredstanker. For dem som skulle starte på nytt, var utfallet likevel uvisst: Hva slags liv ventet dem? Hva ville vinne frem - fremskritt og fellesskap eller kaos og destruksjon? Ian Buruma er en av verdens mest kjente historikere i dag, og en anerkjent essayist, romanforfatter og kritiker. På bakgrunn av vanlige folks fortellinger verden over har han skrevet en stort anlagt beretning om året da verden ble født på ny. Det er en begivenhet når Burumas gripende storverk nå utkommer på norsk, 70 år etter fredsvåren.

Personality traits analyses the traits fundamental to human personality: What are they? Why do they matter?

Barn som husker tidligere liv. Over hele verden snakker barn spontant om tidligere liv. De ber om å bli tatt med hjem, de lengter etter mødre, ektemenn og elskerinner fra et annet liv, og de vet ting som de normalt ikke burde kunne vite. Fra det øyeblikk disse barna kan snakke, forteller de om folk og begivenheter fra fortiden. Det er ikke vage historier fra hundrevis av år tilbake, men detaljer om spesifikke, gjenkjennelige enkeltmennesker som kan ha dødd bare måneder, uker eller til og med timer før dette barnet ble født. I nærmere førti år har psykiater Ian Stevenson reist verden rundt, fra Midtøsten og Asia til småbyer i USA, for å undersøke og dokumentere mer enn to tusen slike tilfeller av minner om tidligere liv. Dette arbeidet, som stort sett har vært ukjent, er nå lagt frem for publikum av den amerikanske prisbelønte journalisten Tom Shroder. Han har fulgt Stevenson i hans feltarbeid og vært med inn i livene til barn og familier som er berørt av dette fenomenet. Shroder forandrer seg fra skeptiker til troende når han i denne fengslende og sanne beretningen blir stillet ansikt til ansikt med konkrete bevis som han ikke kan forkaste.
