Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Four seasons of immersion in New England’s Great Marsh “Like Wendell Berry and Rachel Carson, Hanlon is a true poet-ecologist, sharing in exquisitely resonant prose her patient observations of nature’s most intimate details. As she and her husband, through summer and snow, swim their local creeks and estuaries, we marvel at the timeless yet fragile terrain of both marshlands and marriage. This is the book to awaken all of us, right now, to how our coastline is changing and what it means for our future.” —Julia Glass, author of Three Junes and A House Among the Trees The Great Marsh is the largest continuous stretch of salt marsh in New England, extending from Cape Ann to New Hampshire. Patricia Hanlon and her husband built their home and raised their children alongside it. But it is not until the children are grown that they begin to swim the tidal estuary daily. Immersing herself, she experiences, with all her senses in all seasons, the vigor of a place where the two ecosystems of fresh and salt water mix, merge, and create new life. In Swimming to the Top of the Tide, Hanlon lyrically charts her explorations, at once intimate and scientific. Noting the disruptions caused by human intervention, she bears witness to the vitality of the watersheds, their essential role in the natural world, and the responsibility of those who love them to contribute to their sustainability. Patricia Hanlon is a visual artist who paints the beautiful ecosystem of New England’s Great Marsh and is involved in the watershed organizations of Greater Boston. Swimming to the Top of the Tide is her first book.

Download or read book Breakthrough Swimming written by Cecil Colwin and published by Human Kinetics. This book was released on 2002 with total page 268 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Never before has one book taken such a comprehensive look at the evolution, science, and coaching application of competitive swimming. In Breakthrough Swimming, legendary swimming coach and researcher Cecil Colwin provides a rich perspective on the development of the sport and explains major advances in stroke mechanics, training methods, and racing techniques. Accompanied by richly detailed illustrations, this engaging text is one of the most insightful written works on the sport. It makes clear sense out of the scientific principles and puts into context the historical changes in the sport. Not only will you gain a greater understanding of competitive swimming through its origins and evolution, but you'll also gain these valuable skills: - Improve your stroke technique, starts, and turns. - Improve your feel of the water by learning to anticipate and effectively manipulate the reacting flow of the water. - Understand the hydrodynamics of swimming and learn how water reacts to the forces you apply with each swimming stroke. - Improve your conditioning and develop a better training program by understanding the principles of training. - Learn how to design different types of workouts to produce specific physiological effects. - Learn how to plan a seasonal program and how to relate your training to the pace of the race you intend to swim. The book includes a chapter contributed by Dr. David Pyne, sport physiologist to the 2000 Australian Olympic swimming team. Pyne covers the physiology of modern swimming training and the preparation of swimming teams for top-flight international competition. Breakthrough Swimming covers every aspect of competitive swimming from its spawning ground in early 19th-century England to the present day, including the profound changes that occurred in the last decade of the 20th century. The book also explains the societal changes of recent years, such as the advent of professional swimming and the specter of performance-enhancing drugs. Combining history with the latest innovations, Breakthrough Swimming is the definitive work on the past, present, and future of competitive swimming.

Book excerpt: In his latest book, Olympic Coach Nick Baker challenges swimmers to create change in a BIG WAY to achieve the results they desire! A swimmer who improves their mental outlook can enhance their level of swimming performance to one degree or another. The same holds true for technique or fitness. But when a swimmer focuses on boosting all three at once, the paradigm shifts and EXCELLENCE happens!"There is beauty in a job well done, like developing yourself into the most exceptional swimmer that you can be. To pursue this mighty purpose, you must think of yourself as a three-legged stool that can only stand if all three legs are strong. In the same manner, you can only succeed to the level of your swimming ambition if your mind, body, and skill are of equal strength. Maintaining a wise balance in your training will provide you with an opportunity to develop yourself in a three-sided fashion and without weakness in one area or another. It will also compel you to climb far higher than your fellow competitors and achieve what you cherish most in swimming." - Coach Nick Baker

Book excerpt: Human Motor Development: A Lifespan Approach, Eleventh Edition provides an overview of the academic field of study known as human motor development, the examination of lifelong changes in human movement.

The unique approach of this book includes the relationships between motor development and critical interactions with cognitive, social, and physical changes across the lifespan. Organized into five parts, the book examines key topics in motor development, including the relationship between cognitive and social development and motor development, factors affecting development, changes across the lifespan, and assessment in motor development, with special attention being applied to adulthood and older adulthood, given the increasing numbers of people in those age groups worldwide. Each chapter includes chapter objectives, a summary, a list of key concepts, questions for reflection, a list of related online resources, and an extensive reference list. Highly illustrated and written for student accessibility by providing access to a fully updated companion website, which includes laboratory exercises, an instructors’ manual, a test bank, and lecture slides, Human Motor Development: A Lifespan Approach is essential reading for students of motor control and development, kinesiology, and human performance and for students interested in physical therapy, physical education, and exercise science.
