The Martians - The True Story of...

David Baron

In the early 1900s, many Americans actually believed we had discovered intelligent life on Mars, as bestselling science writer David Baron chronicles in The Martians, his truly bizarre tale of a nation swept up in Mars mania. 
 
 
 
At the center of Baron's historical drama is Percival Lowell, the Boston Brahmin and Harvard scion, who observed "canals" etched into the surface of Mars. Lowell devised a grand theory that the red planet was home to a utopian society that had built gargantuan ditches to funnel precious meltwater from the polar icecaps to desert farms and oasis cities. The public fell in love with the ambitious amateur astronomer who shared his findings in speeches and wildly popular books. 
 
 
 
While at first people treated the Martians whimsically―Martians headlining Broadway shows, biologists speculating whether they were winged or gilled―the discussion quickly became serious. Inventor Nikola Tesla announced he had received radio signals from Mars; Alexander Graham Bell agreed there was "no escape from the conviction" that intelligent beings inhabited the planet. Martian excitement reached its zenith when Lowell financed an expedition to photograph Mars from Chile's Atacama Desert, resulting in what newspapers hailed as proof of the Martian canals' existence.

Kinesiology - The Science of...

Mike Crawford

Kinesiology, the scientific study of human movement, is a multidisciplinary field that integrates principles from anatomy, physiology, biomechanics, and neuroscience. It examines how the body moves, the forces that act upon it, and the underlying mechanisms that control movement. By understanding these principles, professionals in various fields, including physical therapy, sports science, and occupational therapy, can enhance human performance, prevent injuries, and improve rehabilitation strategies. 
The origins of kinesiology date back to ancient civilizations, where scholars like Aristotle and Galen first explored the mechanics of movement. However, the field gained prominence in the 19th and 20th centuries as scientific advancements allowed for a deeper understanding of biomechanics and motor control. Today, kinesiology encompasses a vast range of topics, from the microscopic study of muscle fibers to large-scale analyses of athletic performance. 
One of the core components of kinesiology is biomechanics, which applies the principles of physics and engineering to study how forces influence movement. Biomechanics helps explain how the body maintains balance, generates power, and absorbs impact. For example, analyzing the gait cycle of a runner can reveal inefficiencies that may lead to injuries. By optimizing movement patterns, biomechanics contributes to improving athletic performance and developing assistive technologies such as prosthetics and orthotics.
