Product Description
Muscles and Meridians is a unique book that breaks new conceptual ground in the realm of human movement. Exploring the connection between evolutionary biology and Chinese meridians, the volume offers a novel and effective system of diagnosis and treatment of common musculoskeletal disorders.
- Describes a new model of human movement – the Contractile Field model
- Offers a rare and serious attempt to look at whole person movement patterns – akin to ‘Anatomy Trains’ but with a stronger link to vertebrate evolution and development
- Suggests that much of our endemic back and leg pain is due to a loss of ease in postures that are ‘archetypal’ to mankind
- Offers a profound new understanding of the world’s oldest medical map, the Chinese meridian map
Product Description
Military force is considered essentially a non-military pursuit in international relations, specifically, humanitarian intervention and peacebuilding. This coherent and interrelated study makes an important contribution to the existing literature by concentrating on empirical analyses. It is illustrated by key case studies which consider the complexities and dynamics associated with the application of military force. Of particular importance in this context is the emphasis on areas of recent crisis, such as Africa and the Balkans. The book considers whether our understanding of military force and its utility is outdated and finds that new considerations are required in order to capture the demands of the new environment and generate more appropriate and effective responses. The volume will have wide appeal, ranging from students and academic researchers to high-level policy makers and policy analysts in the military, governance and democratization and peacebuilding communities, as well as area-specialists and non-governmental organizations.

Product Description
Muscles, Nerves and Movement is aimed at introducing students, particularly those with a limited scientific background, to a basic understanding of the way in which bones, joints, muscles and nerves allow the body to perform movement during daily activities. The text and illustrations are structured to enable the student to build up knowledge of the way in which the various components of the musculoskeletal and nervous systems contribute to the complexity of movements in everyday life. Additionally, students can learn how one predicts the possible outcome of damage caused by disease or experience, to provide a basic foundation knowledge of normal locomotor function. This text is sure to help give a thorough grounding in the subject to every student entering paramedical education.
