Health Promotion, Disease Prevention, and Exercise Epidemiology - Nellie M. Cyr - Bog - University Press of America - Plusbog.dk

Health Promotion, Disease Prevention, and Exercise Epidemiology - Nellie M. Cyr - Bog - University Press of America - Plusbog.dk

There are many positive aspects to an advanced technological society. But, as is true with most things in life, for every upside there exists a downside. Our advanced technological society has made life more comfortable and more enjoyable, but it has also resulted in less movement, less activity, and an overall under active society. The physiological consequences of inactivity are evident in the increased prevalence of chronic diseases, including heart disease, this nation''s number one cause of death. This book explores the physiological mechanisms and consequences of an under active society as well as the concept of prevention in the form of health promotion programs. Substantial research studies are referenced and extensive data analysis is provided to substantiate the concept of prevention.

Strategic Choice Under Uncertainty - Mzamo P. Mangaliso - Bog - University Press of America - Plusbog.dk

Strategic Choice Under Uncertainty - Mzamo P. Mangaliso - Bog - University Press of America - Plusbog.dk

Strategic Choice Under Uncertainty provides an inside perspective of how multinational corporations dealt with the pressure to withdraw from South Africa in the 1980s. The decision was mired in the uncertainty of weighing the economic and social costs of the disinvestment strategy against the benefits that would come with the restoration of racial equality and democracy in the country. By providing a robust conceptual scaffolding of environmental uncertainty, the book empirically demonstrates how extra-organizational environmental forces can affect strategic choices and, therefore, performance outcomes. Furthermore, the book demonstrates the vulnerability of multinational business operations to repressive host government practices, and the powerlessness of business decision-makers to implement their objectively rational plans under such conditions. It illustrates that the threat and, indeed, the actual execution of large scale corporate withdrawal can be instrumental in spurring social change in such repressive host countries.

Contemporary Africa's Growth and Development - Agyemang Attah Poku - Bog - University Press of America - Plusbog.dk

Contemporary Africa's Growth and Development - Agyemang Attah Poku - Bog - University Press of America - Plusbog.dk

This book examines the various factors that have influenced the growth and development process of contemporary Africa. After discussing and weighing the schools of thought that have attempted to explain the paradox of Africa’s reduced growth and development in the midst of abundant resources, this volume comes up with comprehensive and detailed suggestions and recommendations to address this painful experience. This book consistently states that the average Africans, forming the overwhelming majority of the African population, are the least, if at all, to be blamed for the paradox; but rather the African leadership and its external cronies are to be fully blamed. Contemporary Africa’s Growth and Development seeks a solution to the African growth and development puzzle in proper allocation and oversight of resources, vision, perseverance, courage, corruption-free and good governance, as well as concrete, provable, solid, and genuine unity.

A la Francaise - Marie Gontier Geno - Bog - University Press of America - Plusbog.dk

A la Francaise is designed to help English speakers to overcome numerous and common difficulties in their study of French. An impressive collection of varied mistakes made by students at both intermediate and advanced levels has shown that certain problems arise with great frequency and tenacity; these form the raison d''etre of the book.

Grammatical and lexical difficulties are presented together, alphabetically, for quick and easy reference. The explanations, in French, are as concise as possible; they are often illustrated by tables. This book is neither a grammar text nor a dictionary. Each entry deals only with the difficulty at hand.

Hoffman proposes a new spelling pedagogy through the identification of the major characteristics and separate spelling strategies of each of the four spelling systems.

State Governments - Donald Roy - Bog - University Press of America - Plusbog.dk

State Governments - Donald Roy - Bog - University Press of America - Plusbog.dk

In State Governments: Institutions and Issues, a dialogic approach is used to provoke discussion regarding the major institutions of state governments today (federalism, tribal governments, governors, legislatures, judiciaries, and elections). Public policy issues (sprawl, educational choice, welfare and health care reform, water, taxes, living wages, and lotteries) also are subjected to dialogic treatment. Unlike the function of textbooks that provide general, descriptive coverage, these dialogues focus on the arguments and principles and the reasoning and evidence that bear on the lively practices of our political institutions and public policy debates. Some major overriding questions are: Where is power and leadership best located? What is the proper role of state government? What makes for social justice in a capitalistic democracy? Where and when should our state governments take the initiative to improve citizens'' quality of life? Readers are invited to use their decision-making and conflict-resolution skills (often this means a balancing and weighing process) to fashion reasonable public policy outcomes. These dialogues also serve as a springboard for discussion and/or doing research that would dig more deeply and thoroughly into public policy issues.

The B-2 Bomber - - Bog - University Press of America - Plusbog.dk

The B-2 Bomber - - Bog - University Press of America - Plusbog.dk

This volume undertakes a systematic review of the future strategic utility of the B-2 Advanced Technology Bomber, and the capability it represents. It is intended to serve as a case study of the type of analysis that should precede, trigger, and sustain force structure decisions in this period of great change. The B-2 bomber is the most advanced of an entire class of weapons systems—long range, land-based strike aircraft—which all meet the general selection criteria. Therefore it is well suited as a vehicle for exploring the rationale and criteria for future strategic utility of today''s weapons systems. The book addresses weapon system utility in terms tailored to the defense and policy environments likely to pertain through the 1990''s and beyond. It emphasizes the policy demand that the United States is likely to place on its military forces in the new security environment and how that demand meshes with the characteristics of particular weapons systems. This analysis includes the development of eight areas, each the focus of one chapter, from broad observations about the international security environment and domestic attitudes through more detailed aspects of defense decision-making to the specific formulation of defense program initiatives. Copublished with the National Institute for Public Policy.

The Bungle Book - G. V. Loewen - Bog - University Press of America - Plusbog.dk

The Bungle Book - G. V. Loewen - Bog - University Press of America - Plusbog.dk

The Bungle Book presents a demythology of six salient concepts central to our modern self-understanding, The “suspects” of the self, the machine, and God, as well as the “senses” of home, love, and freedom are subjected to an intense analytical scrutiny that is back-dropped by the work of Gadamer, Heidegger, Lingis, Midgely, and other critical voices. Book-ended by a detailed introduction that asks us to “unexpect the expected” and a conclusion that suggests that we need to stop compulsively making sense of living on in order to become more sensible about its human ambiguities, The Bungle Book will be of interest to any who take seriously the contemporary challenge of a global and interconnected existence.
