Content: 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.

Content: 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

Series Statement: Fish physiology ; v. 27

Content: 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.

Uniform Title: Life 〈dt.〉

Content: Viel neues über das Innenleben der "Rolling Stones" erfährt man nicht, dafür haben sich schon zu viele über die unterschiedlichsten Aspekte der dienstältesten Rockband ausgelassen, aber während die Biografien von Ron Wood und Bill Wyman eher beschaulich waren, und Mick Jagger seinen Buchvorschuss wieder zurückbezahlt hat ist K. Richards Buch interessant und lesenswert. Richards erzählt anschaulich über seine Kindheit in Londoner Vorort Dartfort. Spannender wird es, als er Mick Jagger kennenlernt und sich die "Rolling Stones" gründeten. Kaum einer verkörpert das Klischee von "Sex, Drugs & Rock'n'Roll" so wie K. Richards. Ausführlich liest man über seinen Drogenkonsum, über seine Liebschaften und das Leben auf den Tourneen. Genüsslich zieht er über seinen Partner Jagger her, den er als einen ehrgeizigen Egomanen bezeichnet. Dass Richard nicht nur Drogenkonsument war, sondern auch exzellenter Musiker ist, zeigen die ausführlichen Schilderungen über die Entstehung der unzähligen Songs. Ein wunderbares Buch über die Rolling Stones, das gleichzeitig ein Porträt einer ganzen Generation ist.
