Executing Magic in the Modern Era
by Owen Davies Francesca MatteoniThis book is open access under a CC BY 4. 0 license This book explores the magical and medical history of executions from the eighteenth to the early twentieth century by looking at the afterlife potency of criminal corpses, the healing activities of the executioner, and the magic of the gallows site. The use of corpses in medicine and magic has been recorded back into antiquity. The lacerated bodies of Roman gladiators were used as a source of curative blood, for instance. In early modern Europe, a great trade opened up in ancient Egyptian mummies and the fat of executed criminals, plundered as medicinal cure-alls. However, this is the first book to consider the demand for the blood of the executed, the desire for human fat, the resort to the hanged man's hand, and the trade in hanging rope in the modern era. It ends by look at the spiritual afterlife of dead criminals.

Executive Functions: What They Are, How They Work, and Why They Evolved
by Russell A. BarkleyThis groundbreaking book offers a comprehensive theory of executive functioning (EF) with important clinical implications. Synthesizing cutting-edge neuropsychological and evolutionary research, Russell A. Barkley presents a model of EF that is rooted in meaningful activities of daily life.

Exercise Immunology
by Michael Gleeson Nicolette Bishop Neil WalshExercise immunology is an important, emerging sub-discipline within exercise physiology, concerned with the relationship between exercise, immune function and infection risk. This book offers a comprehensive, up-to-date and evidence-based introduction to exercise immunology, including the physiological and molecular mechanisms that determine immune function and the implications for health and performance in sport and everyday life. Written by a team of leading exercise physiologists, the book describes the characteristics of the immune system and how its components are organised to form an immune response. It explains the physiological basis of the relationship between stress, physical activity, immune function and infection risk, and identifies the ways in which exercise and nutrition interact with immune function in athletes and non-athletes. The book shows students how to evaluate the strengths and limitations of the evidence linking physical activity, immune system integrity and health, and explains why exercise is associated with anti-inflammatory effects that are potentially beneficial to long-term health. Every chapter includes useful features, such as clear summaries, definitions of key terms, discussions of seminal research studies and practical guidelines for athletes on ways to minimise infection risk, with additional learning resources available on a companion website. This is an essential textbook for any course on exercise immunology or advanced exercise physiology.

Exercise Programming for Cardiac Patients
by Jerzy Rybicki Adam StaronThis book demonstrates the principle of exercise testing and training, describing in precise and technical detail the use of exercise prescription to support the management of cardiac patients. It comprehensively reviews all available solutions for exercise testing with appropriate consideration of optimal testing conditions, especially when more rigorous cardiopulmonary testing is unavailable. Translation of testing results into exercise training parameters should follow specific rules, and the authors present their approach and the development of specific tools to assist, such as instant exercise intensity calculators or interval-to-continuous approach with flexible progression rate based on heart rate plateau. Predicted training intensity and adequate training progression remain key elements of successful exercise prescription. Finally, this book describes how an exercise prescription follow-up program will determine long-term outcome. Based on the authors' educational workshops, Exercise Programming for Cardiac Patients encourages a prescriptive approach to exercise training with dosage, up-titration and comprehensive overview of patient parameters. As a critical preventative concept, exercise training is often overlooked, but this book is formulated to provide extensive supportive information for cardiologists looking to include it into their patients' management regimens. It is therefore designed to promote the clinical application of exercise training and is a key addition to the literature for all involved in the management of these patients.
