Fitness on the Ball

A Core Program for Brain and Body

By: Anne Spalding,Linda E. Kelly

Exercise balls have steadily become more popular since they were first introduced, for two good reasons: They're fun and they work! People who are on the ball find themselves rolling toward improvements in strength, flexibility, and cardiorespiratory fitness. Authors Anne Spalding and Linda Kelly published a version of this book just for kids, but they've done extensive research and discovered adults like to have fun, too--and stand to benefit just as much as kids in using exercise balls. So the authors expanded this new book to include exercises and information for instructors and participants of all ages and included activities that can be used not only in school gymnasiums and classrooms but in exercise facilities, workplaces, and homes as well. This book features the following material: -A CD-ROM that includes an image bank, reproducibles, activity sheets, assessments, lesson plans, a glossary of terms, and other teachers' tools -An expansion from K-5 to all ages -Photos, illustrations, and anatomical drawings depicting the muscles as they are being worked in the five core activities -Information and suggestions for using the exercise balls in adapted physical education The exercises are easy to follow and well illustrated, making this a practical and user-friendly resource. Not only will you be equipped to do or teach the over 110 exercises included in the book, but you'll also receive valuable advice on managing your equipment and classes to help you--and your participants--get the most out of your program. And the expansion of this book to include all ages makes it perfect for schools, fitness centers, YMCAs, and wherever fitness is valued--even at home. Fitness on the Ball is presented in three parts: Part I focuses on the basics of using the exercise ball, including safety issues, social and emotional challenges, and management of the ball. Part II features over 110 exercises that you can do on and with the ball, including exercises for core strength, balance, cardiorespiratory fitness, muscular strength, and flexibility. Part III explores the latest research on the impact of physical activity on the brain and also explains how to use exercise balls in a variety of settings, including gyms, classrooms, workplaces, and homes. So if you want to get on the ball and take a step toward a healthier lifestyle--and lead participants in doing so as well--this is the book for you! With its well-researched information, its teacher-tested lesson plans and exercises, its visual format, and its wealth of tools, Fitness on the Ball is a sure hit, no matter what group you lead or setting you are in.

Let's Play Ball

By: Linda Gould

Miranda is a bright, attractive woman with an important government job, a nice home, and a prominent lawyer husband. Her fraternal twin sister, Jessica, is a sportswriter who has spent years sacrificing her social life and conventional career prospects to establish a magazine. Jessicas publication has finally caught on after she receives renown for an article she writes about local baseball star Manny Chavez and his perilous journey back to his native Cuba to retrieve his abducted son. Jessica, now engaged to Manny, invites Miranda, her husband, and their parents to join her in a luxury suite to watch the hometown Washington Filibusters take on their archrivals, the Florida Keys, in a championship game. As they are wined and dined by the team owner, Miranda envies her sisters seemingly perfect life and faces the reality that her own is a facade. But when the forces of revenge and corporate greed catch up to the perfect couple and blow their world apart, Miranda is suddenly thrust into a world of international politics. Lets Play Ball dramatizes the struggles of two ambitious sisters against the backdrops of immigration, global conflict, and the nations pastime.

The World as Will to Power

By: Linda L. Williams

Nietzsche's Mirror is an introduction to the development and scope of will power in Nietzsche's writings.

Billionaires' Ball

Gluttony and Hubris in an Age of Epic Inequality

By: Linda McQuaig,Neil Brooks

The concentration of wealth today in such a small number of hands inevitably created a dynamic that led to freewheeling financial speculation—a dynamic that produced similarly disastrous results in the last great age of inequality, in the 1920s. Such concentrated economic power reverberates throughout society, threatening the quality of life and the very functioning of democracy. As McQuaig and Brooks illustrate, it's no accident that the United States claims the most billionaires but suffers from among the highest rates of infant mortality and crime, the shortest life expectancy, and the lowest rates of social mobility and electoral political participation in the developed world. In Billionaires' Ball, McQuaig and Brooks take us back in history to the political decisions that helped birth our billionaires, then move us forward to the cutting-edge research into the dangers that concentrated wealth poses. Via vivid profiles of billionaires—ranging from philanthropic capitalists such as Bill Gates to hedge fund king John Paulson and the infamous band of Koch brothers—Billionaires' Ball illustrates why we hold dearly to the belief that they "earned" and "deserve" their grand fortunes, when such wealth is really a by-product of a legal and economic infrastructure that's become deeply flawed.

Mathematics

Mechanics and Probability

By: Linda Bostock,Suzanne Chandler

Dealing with mechanics and the solving of mechanical problems with the help of pure mathematics, this A-Level text introduces at an early stage an appreciation of the properties of vectors. Throughout the book problems are solved using vector methods where appropriate, and many worked examples are provided to illustrate each main development of a topic. A set of straightforward problems follows each section, and a selection of more challenging questions appears in the miscellaneous exercises at the end of most chapters, with multiple-choice questions on most topics.

Middle Level SS&C Energy Series

By: Linda W. Crow,Bill G. Aldridge

The project on Scope Sequence and Coordination of Secondary School Science (SS&C) was initiated by the National Science Teachers Association (NSTA) and recommends that all students study science every year and advocates carefully sequenced, well-coordinated instruction in biology, chemistry, earth/space science, and physics. This document represents a collaborative effort between the NSTA, the American Petroleum Institute (API), the California SS&C Project, and the Texas SS&C Project. These materials were developed through a brainstorming process that included industrial scientists, science teachers from different SS&C sites, and science educators. This book is divided into 3 sections. Section I, SS&C Overview, includes a description of the projects and a K-12 sequence of SS&C science. Section II, Texas SS&C Materials, includes the following: overview, environment, fueling around, and a materials list. Section III, California SS&C Materials, includes: overview, offshore oil drilling, petroleum in our daily lives, oil exploration, oil extraction, and environment, and an appendix. (JRH)
