Sinopse

"Speed And Agility" explores the science behind human movement, particularly speed and agility, by examining their exaggerated portrayals in manga. It bridges the gap between sports science, biomechanics, neurobiology, and Japanese comics, offering a unique lens through which to view athletic performance and visual storytelling. For instance, the book delves into how manga artists amplify real-world physiological principles for dramatic effect, like depicting characters moving faster than physically possible or exhibiting superhuman reflexes. This allows readers to appreciate both the biological systems at play and the creative liberties taken in manga. The book progresses from foundational concepts of speed and agility to analyzing their representations in various manga genres and characters. It investigates the biomechanical plausibility of manga feats using physics and biology to determine if movements are within the realm of possibility. Ultimately, it discusses the cultural impact of these depictions and how they influence our perceptions of human potential, making "Speed And Agility" valuable to athletes, artists, and anyone interested in the intersection of science and culture.

    During a year on sabbatical from his university position, Matthew Batt realized he needed money—fast—and it just so happened that one of the biggest breweries in the Midwest was launching a restaurant and looking to hire. So it was that the forty-something tenured professor found himself waiting tables at a high-end restaurant situated in a Minneapolis brewery. And loving it. 
     
     
     
    Telling the story of Batt's early work in restaurants, The Last Supper Club then details his experiences at the fine dining restaurant, a job that continued well past his sabbatical. 
     
     
     
    The Last Supper Club reveals the ups and downs of a waiter's workday and offers an insightful perspective on what makes a job good, bad, or great. For Batt, this job turns out to be considerably more fun, and possibly more rewarding, than his academic career, and his insider's view of waiting tables extols the significance of our food and the places where we gather to enjoy it—or serve it. 
     
     
     
    Told with sharp humor, humility, and a keen sense of what matters, The Last Supper Club is an ode to life in a high-pressure restaurant, the relationships that get you to the night's close, and finding yourself through the chaos of it all.

    If you could pose one question to a dolphin, what would it be? And what might a dolphin ask you? For forty years, researcher and author Denise L. Herzing has investigated these and related questions of marine mammal communication. But the dolphins are not the only ones talking, and in this wide-ranging and accessible book, Herzing explores the astonishing realities of interspecies communication, a skill that humans currently lack. 
     
     
      
    Is Anyone Listening? connects research on dolphin communication to findings from Jane Goodall on chimpanzees, Dian Fossey on mountain gorillas, Cynthia Moss on African elephants, and others driving today's exploration of possible animal languages. As Herzing reveals, researchers are finding fascinating hints of language in nonhuman species, including linguistic structures, vowel equivalents, and complex repeated sequences. By looking at the many ways animals use and manipulate signals, we see that we've only just begun to appreciate the diversity of animal intelligence and the complicated and subtle aspects of animal communication. 
     
     
      
    Considering dolphins and other nonhuman animals as colleagues instead of research subjects, Herzing asks us to meet animals as both speakers and listeners, as mutually curious beings, and to listen to what they are saying.
