The Many Lives of a Chow

By: Tom Pataky

Write a review Read reviews Take a Quiz Solve Book Puzzle

Bodies are merely the custodians of an indestructible spark of life. The body and the soul mature and grow old together. Old people don’t understand the younger generation because they keep entirely different dreams as reality. In time the body becomes a corpse and the spirit moves to the place where souls go to rest, to rejuvenate, before they start a new role in a new body. Shawsong was a pet of mundane as well as famous people. He may have another existence, another role to make observations, somewhere even now.

Injury-Free Running, Second Edition

Your Illustrated Guide to Biomechanics, Gait Analysis, and Injury Prevention

By: Tom Michaud

This no-nonsense guide shows you how an understanding of anatomy and biomechanics, coupled with the latest strengthening exercises and rehab protocols, can keep you running injury-free for a long time to come. Each time your foot hits the ground while running, an impact force averaging three times your weight travels through your body at more than 200 miles per hour, causing your bones to vibrate and tendons to stretch. When you consider that the average runner strikes the ground more than 10,000 times per hour, this translates into a remarkable amount of force that needs to be absorbed, and explains why nearly 50% of recreational runners are injured each year. The purpose of this book is to show you that impact forces are not necessarily harmful. By modifying your running form and doing specific exercises to improve tendon resiliency, not only can you effectively absorb these forces, but you can also store and return a significant percentage of them in the form of elastic recoil. Besides reducing your risk of injury, efficiently storing and returning energy can allow you to run faster with less effort. With more than 200 illustrations and 300 references, this book reviews how to: Perform an at-home gait analysis to make specific changes in your running form that can reduce impact forces and improve performance. Decrease your risk of injury by identifying problems with strength, flexibility, and/or neuromotor coordination using specific functional tests. Incorporate new exercises to enhance the storage and return of energy in your tendons. Select the running shoe that is right for you. Treat 25 of the most common running-related injuries with the most up-to-date, scientifically justified treatment protocols available.

My Father's Story

By: Tom Norton

A father (Tom) hears his son Richard say, “School is OK except I don’t like learning numbers or arithmetic.” After dinner, Tom sits with Richard and tells him a story of a kingdom long ago where the use of numbers is forbidden by King Kcaj and of the chaos that ensues because of it. As Tom’s story unfolds, he hopes to instill in Richard a sense of the importance of learning numbers, counting, and arithmetic along with other life lessons.

Don't Tell!

By: Tom Booth

Once again Tom Booth, author of Don't Blink!, breaks the fourth wall to delight and entice readers young and old in this sweet and funny, experiential picture book. How did you find this book? Don't you know this book is a secret book? Readers will delight in being asked how they found this book. Did Monkey tell? Was it Owl? Giraffe? Maybe the animal who "told" would rather share than keep a secret. Especially when sharing a book as good as this one makes him so happy!
