Inhalt: Significant advances in our knowledge of genetics were made during the twentieth century but in the most recent decades, genetic research has dramatically increased its impact throughout society. Genetic issues are now playing a large role in health and public policy, and new knowledge in this field will continue to have significant implications for individuals and society. Written for the non-majors human genetics course, Human Genetics, 3E will increase the genetics knowledge of students who are learning about human genetics for the first time. This thorough revision of the best-selling Hum

Inhalt: Performance Psychology: A Practitioner's Guide is a comprehensive, evidence-based text covering the key aspects of performance culture: performer development, preparation, training and execution. Written by a team of international contributors, including national coaches, training specialists, applied sports psychologists, clinicians and researchers, and building on strong links between theory and practice, the book shows how applied psychological methods and principles can be used to enhance performance Contributing authors offer clear implications for applied practice and each section is summarized by contributions from a 'Performers Panel' of experts who provide real-life practical examples. Performance psychology is applied to a wide variety of physical performance domains which enables practitioners to see how they can combine ideas and tailor interventions, to people and contexts, to produce effective applications of psychology.

Inhalt: Periods of environmental hypoxia (Low Oxygen Availability) are extremely common in aquatic systems due to both natural causes such as diurnal oscillations in algal respiration, seasonal flooding, stratification, under ice cover in lakes, and isolation of densely vegetated water bodies, as well as more recent anthropogenic causes (e.g. eutrophication). In view of this, it is perhaps not surprising that among all vertebrates, fish boast the largest number of hypoxia tolerant species; hypoxia has clearly played an important role in shaping the evolution of many unique adaptive strategies.

Inhalt: Eine wunderschöne Liebesgeschichte zur Weihnachtszeit: Die alleinerziehende Lehrerin Elise begegnet ihrer Jugendliebe wieder. Gibt es eine neue Chance für ihre alte Liebe?Vor siebzehn Jahren hat Elise Ramsey sich für die Pflicht und nicht für das Glück entschieden. Damals ist sie bei ihrer kranken Mutter geblieben, statt mit ihrer großen Liebe Sloane Tyson die Stadt zu verlassen. Siebzehn Jahre, in denen sie das Lachen in seinen Augen nicht vergessen konnte. Doch jetzt ist Sloane zurück in Miracle Springs, mit einem Jungen, der ihm aufs Haar gleicht: Clay, sein Sohn, der in Elises Klasse kommt. Nicht lange, und zwischen Sloane und Elise knistert es wie einst. Aber kann man die Zeit wirklich zurückdrehen?Bewegend und mit viel Gefühl erzählt Emilie Richards von der Macht der Liebe zwischen zwei Menschen, die füreinander bestimmt sind - und das erst lernen müssen.
