Aftermath

Rebuilding Global Security After a Century of Warfare

By: Jason S. Belcher

Why have there been so many violent conflicts in 2014? Aftermath offers an insider’s view of how each conflict started, what it means, and the common thread driving increased warfare around the world. By giving voice to the experiences of a new generation of veterans Aftermath provides a novel framework for managing global affairs. Aftermath addresses the recent conflicts which have dominated the world stage: civil war in Ukraine, ISIS in Syria and Iraq, Boko Haram in Nigeria, drug wars in Mexico, violence in west Africa following an unprecedented outbreak of Ebola, global mass demonstrations and protests, troubling incidents with nuclear weapons, and war between Israel and HAMAS have dominated headlines. While our leaders seem unable to explain or to stop violent conflicts from spreading Aftermath provides fresh insights and solutions. The old frameworks of understanding global affairs are no longer adequate to manage international relations in the 21st century. Aftermath will shape the next generation of thinking on global affairs for elected officials, military planners, multi-national businesses, and students of current events.

Work with Young People

Theory and Policy for Practice

By: Jason J Wood,Jean Hine

This authoritative text is a must-read for anyone working, or training to work, with young people. It considers how theory, policy and practice intersect and influence one another in today’s challenging and rapidly changing social, economic, and political contexts. Offering a timely contribution to the debate, it covers key themes and developments, including the principles that underpin work with young people, the policy and practice in a wide range of contexts, both national and international, the key concepts currently high on the policy and practice agenda, and how we understand the lives of young people, in particular investigating their ‘real worlds’ and understanding their social construction.

Training Essentials for Ultrarunning

How to Train Smarter, Race Faster, and Maximize Your Ultramarathon Performance

By: Jason Koop

When elite ultrarunners have a need for speed, they turn to coach Jason Koop. Now the sport’s leading coach makes his highly effective ultramarathon training methods available to ultrarunners of all abilities in his book Training Essentials for Ultrarunning. Ultramarathoners have traditionally piled on the miles or tried an approach that worked for a friend. Yet ultramarathons are not just longer marathons; simply running more will not prepare you for the race experience you want. Ultramarathon requires a new and specific approach to training. Training Essentials for Ultrarunning will revolutionize training for those who want to race an ultramarathon instead of just gutting it out to the finish line. Koop's race-proven ultramarathon program is based on sound science, the most current research, and years of experience coaching the sport’s star runners to podium performances. Packed with practical advice and vetted training methods, Training Essentials for Ultrarunning is the new, must-have resource for first-timers and ultramarathon veterans. Runners using Training Essentials for Ultrarunning will gain much more than Koop’s training approach: · The science behind ultramarathon performance. · Common ultramarathon failure points and how to solve them. · How to use interval training to focus workouts, make gains, reduce injuries, and race faster. · Simple, effective fueling and hydration strategies. · Koop’s A.D.A.P.T. method for making the right decisions to solve a race-day crisis. · How to plan your ultra season for better racing. · Course-by-course coaching guides to iconic U.S. ultramarathons including American River 50, Badwater 135, Hardrock 100, Javelina 100, JFK 50, Lake Sonoma 50, Leadville 100, Vermont 100, Wasatch 100, and Western States 100. · How to achieve your goal, whether it’s finishing or winning. A revolution is coming to ultrarunning as ultramarathoners shed old habits and embrace the smarter methods that science and experience show are better. Featuring stories and advice from ultrarunning stars Dakota Jones, Kaci Lickteig, Dylan Bowman, Timothy Olson, and others who work with Koop, Training Essentials for Ultrarunning is the go-to guide for first-time ultrarunners and competitive ultramarathoners.
