Adrian Burden

This is the clearest and most straightforward biomechanics textbook currently available. By breaking down the challenging subject of sport and exercise biomechanics into short thematic sections, it enables students to grasp each topic quickly and easily, and provides lecturers with a flexible resource that they can use to support any introductory course on biomechanics. The book contains a wealth of useful features for teaching and learning, including clear definitions of key terms, lots of applied examples, guides to further reading, and revision questions with worked solutions. It has been significantly expanded to encompass rapidly developing areas, such as sports equipment design and modern optoelectronic motion analysis systems, and it includes a number of new sections that further develop the application of biomechanics in sports performance and injury prevention. A new companion website includes a test bank, downloadable illustrations and, where appropriate, suggestions for learning outcomes and/or lab-based sessions for lecturers. Instant Notes in Sport and Exercise Biomechanics has been an invaluable course companion for thousands of students and lecturers over the last decade. Engaging, direct, and now fully refreshed, it is the only biomechanics textbook you’ll ever need.

Second Edition

Instant Notes in Sport and Exercise Biomechanics

Adrian Lees

Instant Notes Sport and Exercise Biomechanics provides a comprehensive overview of the key concepts in exercise and sport biomechanics. The kinematics of motion are reviewed in detail, outlining the physics of motion. Mechanical characteristics of motion, the mechanisms of injury, and the analysis of the sport technique provides a source of valuable information.

This alternate history, time travel, WWII-era action-adventure tale mixes fact and fantasy as a prequel to the 2013 "Travelers of the Gray Dawn." In both novels the Confederate States of America becomes the landscape and backdrop for a variety of characters who must navigate through these foreign lands. In Voyagers, much of the action is set along the East Coast of the U.S. as Nazi U-boats meet U.S. Destroyers and Civil War-era ironclads. Dr. Albert Einstein tempts the Multiverse and unwittingly sends his young protoge, Henry Rollins, headlong into strange, yet almost familiar, places turned upside down. His wife, Margaret Rollins, desperately tries to find her husband and the pair seek to reunite across time and space.
