Calling Up: Discovering Your Journey to Transformational Leadership
by J.P. NerbunCalling Up is a guide for coaches of all sports at all levels that presents a step-by-step process to building a transformational culture, starting with changing coaching behaviors, attitudes, and language. Modern-day coaches face the same challenges every day: entitled youth, overinvolved parents, and the community and administration’s expectation for wins. Coaching does not just take a great deal of time; it takes an emotional and physical toll, and coaches need to know they are not the only ones facing these struggles. After over 11 years of coaching, and his own coaching philosophy transformation, J.P. Nerbun felt called to share the hard lessons that could not be found in a book when he started coaching. Calling Up provides an easily accessible and inspiring story as J.P. details the transformative experience of a high school basketball coach named Daniel and his year-long struggle to keep his job while working to become the coach he always wanted to be. Apart from the entertaining and relatable story, which connects with coaches on a personal level, Calling Up provides coaches with principles based on scientific research and personal experience that explore how people learn, what motivates them, and the human condition. These principles are shared by some of the most highly qualified and successful coaches in sports and J.P. also provides specific tools and explains how those tools are applied within the context of a team. At the end of the day, Calling Up shows coaches not just how to build great athletes, but how to build great people.

Cambridge Studies in Biological and Evolutionary Anthropology: Demography and Evolutionary Ecology of Hadza Hunter-Gatherers
by Nicholas Blurton JonesThe Hadza, an ethnic group indigenous to northern Tanzania, are one of the few remaining hunter-gatherer populations. Archaeology shows 130,000 years of hunting and gathering in their land but Hadza are rapidly losing areas vital to their way of life. This book offers a unique opportunity to capture a disappearing lifestyle. Blurton Jones interweaves data from ecology, demography and evolutionary ecology to present a comprehensive analysis of the Hadza foragers. Discussion centres on expansion of the adaptationist perspective beyond topics customarily studied in human behavioural ecology, to interpret a wider range of anthropological concepts. Analysing behavioural aspects, with a specific focus on relationships and their wider impact on the population, this book reports the demographic consequences of different patterns of marriage and the availability of helpers such as husbands, children, and grandmothers. Essential for researchers and graduate students alike, this book will challenge preconceptions of human sociobiology.

Caminar: Las ventajas de descubrir el mundo a pie
by Erling KaggeTras el éxito internacional El silencio en la era del ruido, Erling Kagge nos deleita con un libro sobre el placer de caminar. Libros que respiran y te hacen respirar. «Casi todos los problemas parecen distintos después de un paseo.» Al caminar, con o sin rumbo, nuestro cuerpo viaja a la velocidad de nuestra mente. Solo cuando damos un paso tras otro podemos descubrir la tierra que pisamos, y a nosotros mismos. La capacidad de andar erguidos nos convirtió en lo que somos, y al dejar de caminar abandonamos también nuestra esencia, nos convertimos en otra cosa. Este libro, una agradable caminata en excelente compañía, nos recuerda la alegría de las caminatas, breves o largas, y nos convence de que quien va a pie llega más lejos y vive mejor. En el camino, nuestros pasos se cruzan con figuras como Machado, Heidegger, Thoreau, Neruda o Steve Jobs. Erling Kagge, el autor que nos enseñó a encontrar el silencio en este estruendoso mundo, vuelve con un evocador libro sobre el placer y el equilibrio que se pueden encontrar en tan simple actividad. La crítica ha dicho...«Erling Kagge es un aventurero filosófico, o quizás un filósofo aventurero.»The New York Times «¿Quién mejor que un avezado explorador para hablarnos del silencio? El silencio está en todos lados. Basta con reconocerlo y saborearlo. Toda una filosofía de vida. Y también una nueva forma de lujo que ya tiene numerosos adeptos.»Le Figaro Magazine (sobre El silencio) «Una valiosa guía en la que Kagge da cuenta de los inestimables beneficios de encontrar la quietud. Para él, desconectar no significa alejarse del mundo. Al contrario: se trata de disfrutar más intensamente de la vida y de la compañía.»L'Express (sobre El silencio)
