        Does Movement Really Make Us Smart?

        by Petra Jansen, Stefanie Richter

        Media reports often praise movement as a cure-all. But apart from its undisputed positive effect on health, does movement really make us smarter? Consider a national football team, for example – are these excessively sports-driven players automatically the smartest people? Should we simply replace all school subjects with sports? The authors provide a detailed summary of the latest scientific findings on the influence of movement on cognitive ability. They describe the effects of movement, on old age, embodiment, emotion, school as well as other factors that influence cognition. Target Group: teachers, lecturers, psychologists, psychiatrists, neurologists, psychotherapists, movement therapists.

        Penny, Prince und Ginny

        Die Hunde meines Lebens

        by Brian Sewell, Sally Ann Lasson, Claudia Feldmann

        Voller Zuneigung schildert der »berühmteste und umstrittenste« (The Guardian) Kunstkritiker und Kolumnist Großbritanniens, Brian Sewell, die besonderen Beziehungen zwischen Mensch und Hund – ehrlich, berührend und mit feinem Humor. Ein außergewöhnliches Buch über Freundschaft, Vertrauen und das Glück, sein Leben mit Hunden zu teilen. Hunde begleiteten Brian Sewell von frühester Kindheit bis ins hohe Alter. Sie teilten sein Zuhause, sein Leben und oft auch sein Bett, waren ihm Freunde, Vertraute und Tröster in schweren Zeiten. Vom edlen Whippet über Schäferhund, Boxer und Jack Russell bis zum undefinierbaren Mischling – meist waren es Tiere mit Schicksal: ausgesetzt, verletzt, im Tierheim zurückgelassen, und doch voller Lebensfreude, mit unverwechselbarem Charakter und von unerschütterlicher Treue.

        Disability in the Industrial Revolution

        Physical impairment in British coalmining, 1780–1880

        by David M. Turner, Daniel Blackie, Julie Anderson

        An electronic version of this book is also available under a Creative Commons (CC-BY-NC-ND) license, thanks to the support of the Wellcome Trust. The Industrial Revolution produced injury, illness and disablement on a large scale and nowhere was this more visible than in coalmining. Disability in the Industrial Revolution sheds new light on the human cost of industrialisation by examining the lives and experiences of those disabled in an industry that was vital to Britain's economic growth. Although it is commonly assumed that industrialisation led to increasing marginalisation of people with impairments from the workforce, disabled mineworkers were expected to return to work wherever possible, and new medical services developed to assist in this endeavour. This book explores the working lives of disabled miners and analyses the medical, welfare and community responses to disablement in the coalfields. It shows how disability affected industrial relations and shaped the class identity of mineworkers. The book will appeal to students and academics interested in disability, occupational health and social history.
