Sinossi

Impact Absorption explores the crucial role of body mechanics, footwear, and playing surfaces in mitigating injury risk in high-impact sports. It highlights how understanding these elements can significantly enhance athletic performance and prevent injuries. The book emphasizes that effective impact absorption isn't just about expensive gear; it's an integrated system involving the athlete's movements and the environment.

 
The book begins with biomechanical principles, detailing how forces are generated and absorbed within the body during athletic activities. It then transitions into footwear, thoroughly examining the materials, design features, and technologies that contribute to shock absorption and stability.

 
Finally, the book looks at playing surfaces, assessing their impact on ground reaction forces and injury risk. Case studies of sports like running, basketball, and soccer illustrate these principles. This unique approach integrates biomechanics, sports medicine, and materials science to provide a holistic understanding of impact absorption. By understanding the interplay between body mechanics, footwear, and playing surfaces, athletes and coaches can develop effective injury prevention strategies.

Right Down + Circle - Tony...

Cole Nowicki

An exuberant, incisive look at how Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater transformed a culture
		 
Going from a hobby toy for surfers to an Olympic sport, skateboarding has had a tumultuous history. Today, professional skateboarders land endorsement deals with Nike and Adidas, while popular television series like HBO’s Betty tell the stories of diverse crews of skaters living in New York City. So how did a fledgling subculture rise from its near-death knell in the ’90s to become ubiquitous today? It was simply a matter of finding the right messenger.
		 
In 1999, the bestselling video game Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater was released, and a new generation was exposed to skateboarding culture right in their very own homes. Kids and adults alike could now spend hours playing as actual skateboarders, learning the vernacular, listening to the music skateboarders loved, and having fun onscreen before trying to skate IRL in the driveway.
		 
Right, Down + Circle explores how a video game starring the most famous pro skater in the world brought skateboarding culture — and its ever-shifting markers of music, subversion, and coolness — to the masses and ultimately transformed the culture it borrowed from in the process.

Everest - The West Ridge

Thomas Hornbein, Jon Krakauer

In 1963, Jim Whittaker became the first American to summit Everest via the South Col route. Roughly two weeks after Whittaker's achievement, Tom Hornbein and Willi Unsoeld, fellow American mountaineers on the same expedition, became the first climbers ever to summit the world's highest peak via the dangerous and forbidding West Ridge—a route on which only a handful of climbers have since succeeded. 
 
 
 
This special fiftieth anniversary edition reintroduces the adventure in a larger format by members of the expedition, including leader Norman G. Dyhrenfurth and team doctor Jim Lester. In addition to a new foreword by Jon Krakauer, this volume also features a new preface by Hornbein along with a series of prefaces he wrote for earlier editions, including the original from 1965.
