The Exercise Balance $17.95 Healthy exercise means finding a balance between overtraining and inactivity. By using a combination of clinical studies and real-life examples, this book shows readers how to develop their own personal prescription for discovering that balance. Written by two specialists in the field of eating disorders, it details both ends of the exercise continuum, from compulsive exercisers who push their bodies to the limit to people with little or no physical activity in their daily lives. The authors explain the psychological and health issues that can result from compulsive exercise — including bone loss, fractures, amenorrhea, and unhealthy eating. They also cover the problems arising from inadequate exercise and provide ways that ill people can safely implement fitness programs. The book is not a weight-loss guide; instead, it emphasizes the importance of proper exercise, offering readers of all sizes, ages, and health levels practical solutions for changing their routines and finding a healthy exercise balance.

DEEP WATER $15.95 On April 20, 2010, the Macondo well blew out, costing the lives of 11 men, and beginning a catastrophe that sank the Deepwater Horizon drilling rig and spilled nearly 5 million barrels of crude oil into the Gulf of Mexico. The spill disrupted an entire region's economy, damaged fisheries and critical habitats, and brought vividly to light the risks of deepwater drilling for oil and gas the latest frontier in the national energy supply. Soon after, President Barack Obama appointed a seven-member Commission to investigate the disaster, analyze its causes and effects, and recommend the actions necessary to minimize such risks in the future. The Commission's report offers the American public and policymakers alike the fullest account available of what happened in the Gulf and why, and proposes actions changes in company behavior, reform of government oversight, and investments in research and technology required as industry moves forward to meet the nation's energy needs.

Aquatic Exercise for Pregnancy $15.98 Aimed at midwives and health and fitness professionals, this practical, illustrated resource book covers every aspect of one of the most beneficial forms of exercise for pregnant mothers. Aquanatal exercise combines the therapeutic properties of warm water with suitably chosen music, to create a unique method of exercising. Unlike dry land exercise, which tends to work specific parts of the body, aquanatal exercise gently works the whole body.Written by two specialist coaches for the Register of Exercise Professionals (UK), who have developed the UK’s first level3 Pregnancy Aquatics, Nutrition and Health module at the University of Salford, this book is the culmination of over ten years’ passionate interest and work in the field of aquanatal exercise.Contents include:Water generally – aquanatal specifically The anatomy of movement and the main muscles • Pool safety – risk assessment and management • Getting the best out of your classes • Aquanatal choreography • Practical tips for more fun and interesting classes • Contraindicated aquanatal exercises • The pelvic floor and aquanatal exercise • Ethical considerations • Public health, physical activity and aquanatal exercise • quanatal exercise and parent education Nutrition during pregnancy and for physical exercise • The law and aquanatal exercise • Voice care for the aquanatal exercise coach • Marketing within the NHS • Sample screening and risk assessment forms • Sample sessions plans and client information sheets

Exercise for Mood and Anxiety $17.95 Exercise has long been touted anecdotally as an effective tool for mood improvement, but only recently has rigorous science caught up with these claims. There is now overwhelming evidence that regular exercise can help relieve low mood-from feelings of stress and anxiety to full depressive episodes. With Exercise for Mood and Anxiety, Michael Otto and Jasper Smits, well-known authorities on cognitive behavioral therapy, take their empirically-based mood regulation strategy from the clinic to the general public. Written for those with diagnosed mood disorders as well as those who simply need a new strategy for managing the low mood and stress that is an everyday part of life, this book provides readers with step-by-step guidance on how to start and maintain an exercise program geared towards improving mood, with a particular emphasis on understanding the relationship between mood and motivation. Readers learn to attend carefully to mood states prior to and following physical activity in order to leverage the full benefits of exercise, and that the trick to maintaining an exercise program is not in applying more effort, but in arranging one's environment so that less effort is needed. As a result readers not only acquire effective strategies for adopting a successful program, but are introduced to a broader philosophy for enhancing overall well-being. Providing patient vignettes, rich examples, and extensive step-by-step guidance on overcoming the obstacles that prevent adoption of regular exercise for mood, Exercise for Mood and Anxiety is a unique translation of scientific principles of clinical and social psychology into an action-based strategy for mood change.

Deep-water Coral Reefs $219 Deep-water coral reefs are found along large sections of the outer continental shelves and slopes of Europe, from North Cape to the Gulf of Cadiz, and because they also occur along the Atlantic seaboard of USA, the Gulf of Mexico, off Brazil, in the Mediterranean, and off New Zealand, they are currently being targeted by international groups of marine scientists. They have become popular and opportune deep-water research targets because they offer exciting frontier exploration, combined with a whole plethora of modern scientific methods, such as deep-sea drilling, sampling, remote control surveying and documentation. Furthermore they represent timely opportunities for further developments within the application of geochemistry, stable isotope research, bacterial sciences, including DNA-sequestering, and medical research (search for bioactive compounds). The Integrated Ocean Drilling Program (IODP) has arranged a deep-sea scientific drilling campaign on giant carbonate banks off Ireland. Because the reefs currently defy traditional marine-ecological theories, they represent future research opportunities and will enjoy scientific scrutiny for many years to come.

Deep Water (DVD) $5.93 In 1968 The Sunday Times began the first non-stop, round the world yacht race. Amongst the professional yachtsmen, used to the particular strains and stresses of long distance, solo sailing was Donald Crowhurst. A part-time sailor at best he captured the imagination of the entire country as he set about his preparations with quintessential, eccentric English vigour. Under pressure from an increasingly pushy media circus as well as a sponsorship deal that left his house liable if he failed to finish, Crowhurst set sail with grave misgivings. Misgivings that he kept hidden from everyone except his diary and a cassette recorder taken with him to document his journey... Deep Water By Steven Perdue, Blockbuster.co.uk In 1968 The Sunday Times began the first non-stop, round the world yacht race. Amongst the professional yachtsmen, used to the particular strains and stresses of long distance, solo sailing was Donald Crowhurst. A part-time sailor at best he captured the imagination of the entire country as he set about his preparations with quintessential, eccentric English vigour. Under pressure from an increasingly pushy media circus as well as a sponsorship deal that left his house liable if he failed to finish, Crowhurst set sail with grave misgivings. Misgivings that he kept hidden from everyone except his diary and a cassette recorder taken with him to document his journey... Deep Water is an incredible piece of pure docu-drama. Working from Crowhurst’s diaries, his own 16mm footage and the increasingly bizarre rants that he committed to his cassette recorder the filmmakers have crafted a suspenseful and deeply touching portrait of a man who got in way over his head. Beginning as a jaunty tale of derring-do by a plucky outsider the film soon heads into tragic territory as his boat begins to fall apart around him. Things head from bad to worse as the pressures of sailing coupled with the consequences if he should fail to finish take their toll on his physical, and more importantly, his mental well-being. Like Touching The Void before it Deep Water tells a fascinating tale of the extreme edges of humanity. While Touching the Void was a redemptive yarn, Deep Water is far darker and at times downright scary. Listening to Crowhurst as he unravels, unable to cope with the loneliness and isolation is a genuinely unnerving experience and, coupled with the impeccable editing and spot on soundtrack, it manages to keep you absolutely riveted from start to finish. The film throws up its fair share of questions too hinting at the effects of the race on the other competitors. With this being primarily Crowhurst’s tale the filmmakers have wisely chosen to document the other journeys in the extra features. Thorough and incredibly well put together this is an example of what DVD extras are all about. The virtual tour of Crowhurst’s abandoned boat is a neat touch too, cramped and in disarray it manages to get across a deep sense of the claustrophobic atmospher

Deep Convection and Deep Water Formation in the Oceans $272 This book contains articles presenting current knowledge about the formation and renewal of deep waters in the ocean. These articles were presented at an international workshop at the Naval Postgraduate School in Monterey in March 1990. It is the first book entirely devoted to the topic of deep water formation in which articles have been both selected and reviewed, and it is also the first time authors have addressed both surface and deep mixed layers. Highlighted are: past and recent observations (description and analysis), concepts and models, and modern techniques for future research. Thanks to spectacular advances realised in computing sciences over the last twenty years this volume includes a number of sophisticated numerical models. Observational as well as theoretical studies are presented and a clear distinction is established between open-ocean deep convection and shelf processes, both leading to deep- and bottom-water formation. The main subject addressed is the physical mechanism by which the deep water in the ocean can be renewed. Ventilation occurs at the surface in areas called the gills , where water is mixed and oxygenated before sinking and spreading in the abyss of the deep ocean. This phenomenon is a very active area for both experimentalists and theoreticians because of its strong implications for the understanding of the world ocean circulation and Earth climate. This major theme sheds light on specific and complex processes happening in very restricted areas still controlling three quarters of the total volume of the ocean. All articles include illustrations and a bibliography. This book will be of particular interest to physical oceanographers, earth scientists, environmentalists and climatologists.
