Scentwork for Horses
by Rachaël DraaismaScentwork for Horses is the first practical guide on how to implement scentwork into the lives of domesticated horses, enhancing behaviour, welfare, and the human-animal bond. Scentwork is a new discipline in the field for horse and handler, and expert author Rachaël Draaisma arms the reader with a pallet of information to enable them to put this technique into action. As well as theoretical background information on the nose of the horse and biomechanics, Draaisma discusses how scentwork improves horses’ learning abilities, development, socialisation, and their bond with the handler. Readers will learn how to have their horses explore their environment, participate in scentwork games and follow a footstep track to find a missing person or food bag. Easily accessible for anybody working with horses at any level, scentwork can be done in small areas as well as in larger spaces on various surfaces. Whether veterinarian, behaviourist, trainer, animal-assisted therapist, equine physiotherapist, osteopath, or interested horse owner, this book promises to bring both you and the horse enormous benefits, strengthening the human-animal bond. Rachaël Draaisma has always lived with and had a passion for dogs and horses. In 2002, she decided to make it her profession. Achieving several diplomas, she started to work full time as a trainer and behavioural consultant, first with dogs, later with horses. Her best-selling book Language Signs and Calming Signals of Horses, published by CRC Press in 2017, has been translated into several languages. Another pillar of Draaisma’s working life with horses revolves around equine mental stimulation and scentwork, and she has developed an extensive method to undertake scent tracking with horses, a new tool in enriching the human-equine relationship. Draaisma travels throughout Europe and the globe to provide workshops and lectures on calming signals of horses, equine mental stimulation, and scentwork. You can purchase scent bags to aid your scentwork practice at the author's personal website: www.scentworkforhorses.com or www.calmingsignalsofhorses.com

by Wolfgang LaubeDie regulative Schmerztherapie ist mit ihren physiologisch begründeten aufeinanderfolgenden Interventionen spezifisch auf die Verhinderung der Entwicklung bzw. die Behandlung von chronischen Schmerzen ausgerichtet. In diesem Buch wird je nach notwendiger Indikation die gesamte nicht pharmakologische Therapiekette der möglichen Interventionen vorgestellt. Es werden dabei sowohl passiv provozierte funktionell begründete Maßnahmen zur Aktivierung der Schmerzhemmmechanismen und der Durchblutungsförderung zur Verbesserung der Gewebeverhältnisse als Grundlage nozizeptiver Informationen beschrieben, als auch aktive Methoden, z.B. das antinozizeptive endgradige Beweglichkeitstraining von Gelenkregionen und andere aktive Belastungsinterventionen mit dem Ziel, eine strukturelle und funktionelle anti-nozizeptive Reorganisation auszulösen.

Als Zielgruppe werden Ärzte, Physiotherapeuten aber auch Sporttherapeuten angesprochen, die Schmerzpatienten betreuen.

by P. D. SingerPuderschnee, perfekt bearbeitete Pisten und elegante Hotels locken Reiche und erfahrene Skiläufer in das exklusive Wapiti Creek Ski Resort. Aber für Jake Landon und Kurt Carlson besteht der Reiz aus Arbeit. Als Skianfänger kümmert sich Jake um den Anfängerlift, aber Kurt befürchtet, dass er den ganzen Winter lang Schneeschippen muss. An einer privaten Skischule zu unterrichten sollte für ihn eigentlich ein Traumjob sein, aber seine neuen Freunde schauen ihn deswegen schief an und lachen über ihn. Jake und Kurt haben den ganzen Sommer zusammen in der Wildnis verbracht. Dass Jake sich nicht outen wollte, war nicht wichtig gewesen. Aber jetzt müssen sie ihre Beziehung in der Öffentlichkeit führen. Dabei stören die fünfjährigen Zwillinge, die Jake als ihren Skibegleiter adoptiert haben, genauso sehr wie das Mitglied der Skipatrouille, das sich in Jake verliebt hat. Möchtegern-Freunde, fiese Kollegen und die Gefahren des Berges könnten für Kurt und Jake das Ende bedeuten, aber die größte Gefahr für ihre Beziehung geht von ihnen selbst aus.

Scholes: My Story (MUFC)
by Paul ScholesPaul Scholes is one of the most revered footballers of the modern era, both at home and internationally. A one-club player, he has served Manchester United for more than sixteen years, making over 600 appearances in that time -- the fourth highest number of appearances by any player for the club. He also represented the England national team for seven years, winning 66 caps including two World Cup and two European Cup campaigns. Throughout this time, Scholes has always played a decisive role in his teams' fortunes. As well as the technical brilliance that makes Paul Scholes such a breathtaking player to watch it is the determination and integrity which he demonstrates both on and off the pitch that means he is a fascination to fans of the sport. In an age of overpaid, workaday players, Scholes has become an icon of professionalism and club loyalty, admired by fans everywhere. Now in this book for the first time Paul Scholes shares his story: from his beginnings at United under the tutelage of Sir Alex Ferguson as part of the 'golden' youth team, to the treble-winning season and twice capturing European Cup glory, the importance of family and friends in keeping his feet on the ground, as well as his many triumphs and tribulations with England. This is without question the sports book of 2011, from a player as popular and as revered as any in the game today.
School Physical Education and Teacher Education: Collaborative Redesign for the 21st Century (Routledge Studies in Physical Education and Youth Sport)
by Ann MacPhail Hal LawsonSetting a common international agenda for physical education, this book asks how physical education and physical education teacher education can be reconfigured together so that they are responsive to changes in today’s fast-paced, diverse and uncertain global society. It argues that only a revolutionary move away from national policy silos can reinvigorate physical education and lead to improved, equitable outcomes for children and youth, and both novice and veteran teachers. Drawing on developing success stories in diverse places, this book emphasizes three important strategies: international-comparative analyses, which facilitate cross-border knowledge generation, innovation, professional learning and continuous improvement; solid, dynamic partnerships between teacher education programmes and exemplary school physical education programmes; and knowledge-generating teams consisting of exemplary teachers and teacher educators. Each chapter provides viable alternatives and rationales framed by unique national and local contexts. Significantly, these chapters announce that the work that lies ahead – and starts now – is a collective action project. It necessitates collaborative research and development among policy leaders, researchers, teacher education specialists, physical education teachers and, in some cases, school-age students. This is essential reading for all researchers with an interest in physical education or teacher education, and an invaluable source of new perspectives for physical education students, pre-service and in-service teachers, and educational administrators and policymakers.

Schoolboy: The Untold Journey of a Yankees Hero
by Tim Manners Waite HoytWaite &“Schoolboy&” Hoyt&’s improbable baseball journey began when the 1915 New York Giants signed him as a high school junior, for no pay and a five-dollar bonus. After nearly having both his hands amputated and cavorting with men twice his age in the hardscrabble Minor Leagues, he somehow ended up the best pitcher for the New York Yankees in the 1920s. Based on a trove of Hoyt&’s writings and interview transcripts, Tim Manners has reanimated the baseball legend&’s untold story, entirely in Hoyt&’s own words. Schoolboy dives straight into early twentieth-century America and the birth of modern-day baseball, as well as Hoyt&’s defining conflict: Should he have pursued something more respectable than being the best pitcher on the 1927 New York Yankees, arguably the greatest baseball team of all time? Over his twenty-three-year professional baseball career, Hoyt won 237 big league games across 3,845 ⅔ innings—and one locker room brawl with Babe Ruth. He also became a vaudeville star who swapped dirty jokes with Mae West and drank champagne with Al Capone, a philosophizer who bonded with Lou Gehrig over the meaning of life, and a funeral director who left a body chilling in his trunk while pitching an afternoon game at Yankee Stadium. Hoyt shares his thoughts on famous moments in the golden age of baseball history; assesses baseball legends, including Ty Cobb, Stan Musial, and Pete Rose; and describes the strategies of baseball managers John McGraw, Miller Huggins, and Connie Mack. He writes at length about the art of pitching and how the game and its players changed—and didn&’t—over his lifetime. After retiring from baseball at thirty-eight and coming to terms with his alcoholism, Hoyt found some happiness as a family man and a beloved, pioneering Cincinnati Reds radio sportscaster with a Websterian vocabulary spiked with a Brooklyn accent. When Hoyt died in 1984 his foremost legacy may have been as a raconteur who punctuated his life story with awe-inspiring and jaw-dropping anecdotes. In Schoolboy he never flinches from an unsparing account of his remarkable and paradoxical eighty-four-year odyssey.
