The purpose of this book is to inform its readers of an approach to strength training which is far more efficient, productive, and safer than the conventional strength training approaches of today. In the mid 1970s, Jim Christian, a high school teacher and football coach, learned about a new and unusual way to strength train after visiting a nearby private fitness center. His early interest in developing an ideal strength program for athletes later led him to develop this new approach into a time-efficient, productive, and safe workout for men and women of all ages. The new approach is...

The monograph written by Christian Ott is devoted to the classical research topic of impedance control which has recently found new interest after the progress in the mechanical design of lightweight robotic systems with improved actuation and sensing principles. The contents expand the author's doctoral dissertation and are focused on two key issues, namely joint flexibility and kinematic redundancy. A number of effective controllers are developed in theory, based on consolidated approaches such as singular perturbation and passivity, and are tested in extensive experiments on the DLR...

Presents an overview on the different aspects of the energy value chain and discusses the issues that future energy is facing

This book covers energy and the energy policy choices which face society. The book presents easy-to-grasp information and analysis, and includes statistical data for energy production, consumption and simple formulas. Among the aspects considered are: science, technology, economics and the impact on health and the environment. In this new edition two new chapters have been added: The first new chapter deals with unconventional fossil fuels, a resource...

The idea that there is such a thing as a human right to health has become pervasive. It has not only been acknowledged by a variety of international law documents and thus entered the political realm but is also defended in academic circles. Yet, despite its prominence the human right to health remains something of a mystery - especially with respect to its philosophical underpinnings. Addressing this unfortunate and intellectually dangerous insufficiency, this book critically assesses the stipulation that health is a human right which - as international law holds - derives from the...
