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.

Humans Not Robots: When Elite...

Michail Antonio

Michail Antonio wants you to know what it actually feels like to earn a living from playing professional football.
'Humans Not Robots is fantastic … brilliant … eye-opening … enjoyable' The Sunday Times
'Not since Tony Cascarino's seminal Full Time, which is now 26 years old, have I read a player's memoir that so successfully shows that footballers are just people too.' Jonathan Northcroft, The Sunday Times
Michail Antonio has been around the block and done the hard yards, breaking through the tough way, via grassroots non-league football not through an Academy – a testament to his resilience and commitment.
He wants you to know the truth of existing in a world where professional football and ‘real life’ collide. What happens when life inevitably gets in the way and has a negative impact on performance? What is it like to feel the full dehumanising force of his harshest online critics and yet still be expected to perform as if he doesn’t have a care in the world?
With intelligence and thoughtfulness, his book uncovers this unique way of earning a living, peeling back its layers and charting the daily realities.
He wants to show you the very ‘human’ aspects of life as an elite sportsperson, good and bad – the parts of the job that the fans don’t see or even consider.
More than anything, though, Michail Antonio would like you to see professional footballers as humans, not robots.
Part biography, part autobiography, HUMANS NOT ROBOTS is a non-fiction soccer story rooted in recreation and the social realities that shape performance. It’s a cultural look at discrimination and the pressure of being judged online, told with the latest, best insights from someone who’s lived it.
