Summary

Head Protection offers a comprehensive exploration of concussions and head injuries, emphasizing the critical need for understanding, prevention, and mitigation of long-term neurological damage. It highlights the biomechanics of head injuries, the importance of protective equipment like helmets, and the role of cognitive preparedness through reaction time training. Did you know that head injuries are not isolated events, and their cumulative effects can lead to conditions like chronic traumatic encephalopathy (CTE)? This book uniquely synthesizes sports medicine, neuroscience, and public health, making complex concepts accessible to a broad audience.

 
The book takes a multi-faceted approach to head protection, arguing that relying solely on helmets is insufficient. It advocates for combining advanced helmet technology with a deep understanding of impact forces and proactive cognitive training. For example, just as athletes train their bodies, cognitive training can sharpen reaction time and situational awareness, reducing injury risk.

 
Head Protection progresses from explaining head and brain anatomy to assessing the biomechanics of concussions, reviewing helmet designs, and providing methods for improving cognitive function. This holistic approach aims to equip readers with actionable strategies for brain protection.

Fifteen Out of the Box Ideas...

Martin K. Ettington

The world is not as we think it is. We are taught standard accepted beliefs from birth and many of them are not correct or a misunderstanding of the truth. 
Who am I to say so? At this writing I’m nearly seventy years old and I’ve spent my life observing reality as an engineer and explorer of the unknown. 
I’ve had many weird and paranormal experiences and done lots of research. Many patterns have made themselves known to me and this is why I make these types of statements. 
This book is an effort to shed light on these misunderstandings and change your perception of the world we live in. 
Much of what I will relate is based on my subjective experiences and research many would say does not conform to the accepted scientific method yet you will see that my observations make a lot of common sense. 
Some of these concepts have been around for thousands of years but are not commonly accepted today. My effort is to show you why these ideas are likely true and how these concepts also are built on to provide new understandings. 
At the end of each chapter logic is provided on how general belief in these new ideas will change humanity. 
My hope is that by the end of this book you the reader will open your mind more about many things which are strange but possibly true.

Proclaim Liberty Throughout All...

Mark David Hall

Proclaim Liberty Throughout All the Land demonstrates that Christianity is responsible for advancing liberty and equality for all Americans. 
 
 
 
Scholars and popular authors regularly claim that Christianity, at least orthodox Christianity, has fostered oppression and intolerance. A common narrative is that liberty and equality have been advanced primarily when America's leaders embrace progressive manifestations of religion or reject faith altogether. 
 
 
 
This book demonstrates that Christianity is responsible for advancing liberty and equality for all citizens. Throughout American history, Christians have been motivated by their faith to create fair and just institutions, fight for political freedom, oppose slavery, and secure religious liberty for all. 
 
 
 
The New York Times's 1619 Project is only a recent and prominent manifestation of the tendency of journalists, academics, and popular writers to portray American Christianity as a force of oppression and intolerance. Without shying away from the ways in which the Christian faith has been used to defend and even encourage harmful practices, Proclaim Liberty Throughout All the Land shows that it has far more often been a force for good.
