Paperback. Zustand: Good. Das Buch beschreibt die vielen Facetten und Elemente eines Bewegungsystems, das im Gegensatz zum Verst ndnis des rein anatomischen Bewegungsapparats die Kommunikation zwischen den einzelnen Systemelementen einschlie t und auch die systemische Verbindung zwischen einer therapeutisch t tigen Person und einer zu therapierenden Person ber cksichtigt. Diese Interaktion zwischen diesen beiden Personen funktioniert nur mit einer optimalen Kommunikation. F r den Therapierfolg ist es wichtig, dass beide Personengruppen dieses System verstehen, n mlich das jeweils eigene und auch das gemeinsame. Der erste Teil erkl rt das System, wobei hier auch auf eine Erweiterung im Sinne eines senso-kognito-motorischen Systems eingegangen wird. Das Bewegungssystem (als Interaktion von einer zentralen, kognitiven und peripheren exekutiven Ebene) umfasst nicht nur die somatosensorische Dimension einer Bewegung, sondern auch eine vegetative und eine humoral-hormonelle Dimension. Teil zwei des Buches widmet sich den biologische Kommunikationsprinzipien und versucht eine Analogie zu den Axiomen von Paul Watzlawick herzustellen. Aus dem Inhalt der beiden Teile werden im dritten Teil 22 Thesen f r eine erfolgreiche Bewegungstherapie abgeleitet. Deren erkl rtes Ziel ist es, eine nicht optimale Funktion so zu optimieren, dass das System wieder funktionsf hig wird und eine optimale Mobilisation im Rahmen einer umfassenden Bio - psycho -sozio- konomisch - kulturellen Gesundheit gew hrleistet wird. Angesprochen werden alle gesundheitlichen Berufsgruppen, die im Bereich der Bewegungstherapie aktiv sind, wie etwa rzte, Physiotherapeuten, Trainer und bungsleiter. Aber auch interessierte Patienten, Hobby- und Leistungssportler werden darin viele interessante Erkenntnisse gewinnen.…

Paperback. Zustand: Fair. An NPR Book of the Year A Seattle Times Book of the Year William E. Colby Award Winner "A beautifully written, deeply intelligent book about [a] crucial moment." -- Fareed Zakaria, CNN Nobody expected the liberation of India and birth of Pakistan to be so violent--it was supposed to be an answer to the dreams of Muslims and Hindus who had been ruled by the British for more than a century. But as the summer of 1947 approached, Muslims, Hindus, and Sikhs were heavily armed and on edge after a year of riots and gang fighting, and the British rushed to leave. Hell broke loose. Trains carried Muslims west and Hindus east to their slaughter. Some of the most brutal and widespread ethnic cleansing in modern history erupted on both sides of the new border, searing a divide between India and Pakistan that remains a root cause of many of today's most menacing security threats, from jihadi terrorism to nuclear proliferation. Based on major new sources, Nisid Hajari's revelatory Midnight's Furies lays out the searing truth about one of the world's most momentous and least understood tragedies.   "Fast-moving and highly readable . . . The story of what happens when a composite society comes apart." -- New York Times Book Review "Makes the complex and tragic story of the great divide into a page-turner." -- Guardian  "Engaging and incisive . . . Hajari writes with grace, precision, and an unerring eye for detail. Midnight's Furies is the best of recent offerings." -- Wall Street Journal.…
