Sinopse

Gravity Defying Moves explores the fascinating intersection of physics and action manga, revealing how artists creatively bend or break the laws of nature for dramatic effect. It unravels the science behind seemingly impossible stunts, like high-speed chases and aerial combat, using core physics principles to analyze the exaggerated actions seen in animation.

 
Did you know that understanding Newtonian mechanics, such as force and motion, is key to appreciating the artistry in these scenes? The book progresses from foundational concepts to specific manga tropes, examining how rotational dynamics and projectile motion are depicted. It bridges the gap between science and art, offering a fresh perspective on visual storytelling.

 
Quantitative examples from manga panels are used to demonstrate how calculated trajectories and energy expenditures would translate in the real world, enhancing the reader's comprehension and appreciation. Ultimately, Gravity Defying Moves aims to enhance the reader's understanding of physics through the lens of action manga.

 
By blending scientific analysis with artistic interpretation, it provides an engaging and educational experience. This approach makes physics accessible to a broader audience, including manga enthusiasts, physics students, and educators seeking creative teaching tools.

Your Heart is the Size of Your...

Martina Scholtens MD

Your Heart Is the Size of Your Fist draws readers into the complicated, poignant, and often-overlooked daily happenings of a busy urban medical clinic for refugees.
		 
An Iraqi journalist whose son has been been murdered develops post-traumatic stress disorder and mourns his loss of vocation. A Congolese woman refuses antiretroviral treatment for her new HIV diagnosis, and instead places her trust in Jesus. Two conservative Muslim Iraqi women are inadvertently exposed to pornography when a doctor uses Google Images to supplement a medical discussion. By turns humorous, distressing, and moving, these stories offer insight into the people seeking a new life while navigating poverty, language barriers, and neighbours who aren’t always friendly.
		 
This riveting collection of true stories from Dr. Martina Scholtens is filled with hope and humour, and together make up a deeply moving portrait of how one doctor attempts to provide quality care and advocacy for patients while remaining culturally sensitive, even as she wrestles with guilt, awareness of her own privilege, the faith she was raised with, and vicarious trauma after hearing countless stories of brutality and suffering.
		 
In the spirit of Louise Aronson and Atul Gawande, Scholtens’ writing is based on her personal experiences and explores the transformative moments in which a clinical doctor-patient relationship becomes a profound human-human connection.
