CRC Desk Reference on Sports Nutrition

CRC Desk Reference on Sports Nutrition

The landscape of sports nutrition is dramatically altering as those in search of optimal performance are moving the field from haphazard alchemy to exact science. Currently thousands of products - from ancient herbs and old standards to hormone extractions and test tube concoctions -compete for a place at the training table of both professional and amateur competitors as well as those non-athletes seeking some potent elixir of youth. Unfortunately getting straight and genuinely relevant information on these products can be a time consuming and frustrating challenge. The CRC Desk Reference on Sports Nutrition following in the tradition of authoritative CRC references will place in your hands the most comprehensive desk reference available on sports nutrition products. Intelligently organized each entry depending upon its prominence and importance is followed either by a definition paragraph essay composition article or feature article. Many of the more complex entries are supported with figures or tables. While the authors have adhered to the principles of scientific discipline they have also taken the effort to make the text highly accessible to anyone with an interest in sports nutrition. Extremely relevant the listings include important issues regarding exercise metabolism and performance recent products both legal and illegal as well as common dietary supplements and traditional herbs. Recent events make it clear that it is becoming more and more challenging for practitioners to adhere to the Hippocratic caveat of do no harm as supplements become more potent and potentially more dangerous. With its desk reference on sports nutrition CRC has taken the lead in helping to meet that challenge.

Animal Behavior Desk Reference A Dictionary of Animal Behavior Ecology and Evolution Third Edition

Words are our tools and as a minimum we should use clean tools. We should know what we mean and what we do not and we must forearm ourselves against the traps that language sets us. The Need for Precise Terminology Austin (1957 7–8) It follows that for effective and efficient communication people should have or at least understand the same precise terminology. Such terminology is crucial for the advancement of basic theoretical and applied science yet too often there is ambiguity between scientific and common definitions and even discrepancies in the scientific literature. Providing a common ground and platform for precise scientific communication in animal behavior ecology evolution and related branches of biology Animal Behavior Desk Reference A Dictionary of Behavior Ecology and Evolution Third Edition contains more than 800 new terms and definitions 48 new figures and thousands of additions and improvements. Using a dictionary format to present definitions in a standard easily accessible manner the book’s main body emphasizes conceptual terms rather than anatomical parts or taxonomic terms and focuses on nouns rather than verbs or adjectives.

International Environmental Standards Handbook

International Environmental Standards Handbook

The International Environmental Standards Handbook provides the necessary historical background to understand the current status of international environmental standards. The practicality of the book is evident in the inclusion of material: copies of available treaties laws and standards as well as recommendations for businesses. This book is an important tool for companies that are increasingly impacted by the global market. Today's companies need to know what environmental controls are in effect in various countries and how they impact the ability to compete. Lack of knowledge about - and noncompliance with - international standards results in reduced sales and partnership opportunities as well as liability and possible legal action against the company. This valuable comprehensive desk reference suitable for the novice and the professional provides a background in the origin of international environmental concerns and controls; the way in which these concerns manifested themselves in treaties laws and standards; how countries differ in current expectation; and most importantly the evolving consensus of using a universal quality assurance standard for environmental management. International Environmental Standards Handbook gives a structured method to improve environmental performance. It contains many of the environmental tools and methodologies that environmental managers can use for short-term and long-term business decision making in a global environment.
