Summary

Pool Game Basics explores the fascinating history and practical benefits of classic aquatic games. Many popular pool activities, like modified Water Polo and Marco Polo, have surprising origins in early physical education programs, highlighting their long-standing role in promoting physical fitness. Delving into sports history, the book reveals how these games evolved from simple water activities into structured events, emphasizing their enduring appeal and value in developing teamwork and cognitive skills.

 
The book examines core concepts such as aquatic safety and basic swimming skills, then traces the historical development of specific games, supported by historical accounts and early physical education manuals. It further analyzes the educational and physical benefits, using research from exercise science to quantify cardiovascular, muscular, and cognitive improvements. By connecting sports history, physical education, and exercise science, Pool Game Basics presents a comprehensive understanding of pool games as multifaceted activities.

 
Structured in three parts, the book first introduces fundamental principles, then explores historical development, and finally analyzes the benefits. It culminates with a practical guide for adapting and implementing these games in diverse settings, making it a valuable resource for educators, coaches, and anyone interested in enhancing aquatic programs and promoting water safety.

    Bandwidth Recovery explores how students' cognitive resources are diminished by persistent economic insecurity, childhood trauma, and marginalization, while offering strategies and interventions to help learners regain the bandwidth they need to succeed in college. 
     
    When college students feel like they don't belong, much of the mental bandwidth needed for learning is not available. When they are food insecure, financially unstable, or coping with the effects of childhood trauma, cognitive capacity is likewise diminished. Beginning with analysis of the most up-to-date research on the mental and physical impact of poverty, racism, and other forms of social marginalization, Cia Verschelden presents vetted approaches for promoting a growth mindset and self-efficacy in students. Listeners will learn to develop supports that build upon students' values and prior knowledge with the goal of creating a sense of belonging and community both in and out of the classroom. New to this edition are updated terminology and discussions of neurodiversity, childhood trauma, economic inequality, and the ongoing effects of the COVID pandemic. 
     
    This book is intended for all higher education faculty, student affairs professionals, administrators, and scholars interested in creating learning environments where every student has the chance to succeed.

    Why did Ukraine lose the war against Russia? How do the two sides think and conduct their operations? What mistakes were made on both sides? How did the West contribute to Ukraine's defeat? 
    To answer these questions and many others, Jacques Baud draws on official information, American, Western and Russian documents that analyse Russian (and Soviet) strategies and tactics over the last 50 years. He explains how Russia understands and conducts war, and shows how our ignorance of this reality has pushed Ukraine towards defeat. 
    This audiobook is read by a synthesized voice.
    
    Jacques Baud was a member of Swiss strategic intelligence, a specialist in Eastern Europe and former head of doctrine for UN peacekeeping operations. During the Cold War, he worked on Soviet military art and the war in Afghanistan. Within NATO, he was involved in programs in Ukraine, notably after the 2014 Maïdan revolution.

    When Samuel Townsend died at his home in Madison County, Alabama, in November 1856, the fifty-two-year-old white planter left behind hundreds of slaves, thousands of acres of rich cotton land, and a net worth of approximately $200,000. In life, Samuel had done little to distinguish himself from other members of the South's elite slaveholding class. But he made a name for himself in death by leaving almost the entirety of his fortune to his five sons, four daughters, and two nieces: all of them his slaves. 
     
     
     
    In this deeply researched, movingly narrated portrait of the extended Townsend family, R. Isabela Morales reconstructs the migration of this mixed-race family across the American West and South over the second half of the nineteenth century. Searching for communities where they could exercise their newfound freedom and wealth to the fullest, members of the family homesteaded and attended college in Ohio and Kansas; fought for the Union Army in Mississippi; mined for silver in the Colorado Rockies; and, in the case of one son, returned to Alabama to purchase part of the old plantation where he had once been held as a slave. In Morales's telling, the Townsends' story maps a new landscape of opportunity and oppression, where the meanings of race and freedom—as well as opportunities for social and economic mobility—were dictated by highly local circumstances.
