Sinopse

Baseball Pitching explores the science behind throwing a baseball, focusing on how physics and biomechanics influence pitch performance and injury prevention. It explains how elements like aerodynamics and spin determine a ball's trajectory, allowing pitchers to create movement and velocity. For example, the Magnus effect explains how spin causes a baseball to curve, defying a straight path. The book also delves into the biomechanics of pitching, emphasizing efficient motion to maximize power while minimizing the risk of injury. 

 
The book uniquely combines scientific theory with practical application, bridging the gap between physics, biomechanics, and pitching technique. It begins by introducing fundamental physics principles, then moves into a detailed examination of pitching biomechanics, and finally dedicates chapters to specific pitches like fastballs, curveballs, and sliders. Each pitch is analyzed in terms of grip, arm action, release point, and resulting ball flight.

 
By understanding the science of pitching, players and coaches can optimize their techniques and training for improved performance and safety.

Jesus Germs and the Great...

Faith Christie RN

Is it possible to be a Christian and a nurse at the same time? 
When I first started out in my calling as a nurse, I thought the answer to that question was an easy "yes," but then as I walked the long halls of the hospital, I started to have questions:Is it ever okay to pray for a patient?Why do I feel so awkward asking for a chaplain?When death is real, does heaven have a place in the hospital? 
I tried to find resources written by other Christian medical professionals to help me, but all I ever heard were statements on ethics and the legal repercussions of bringing "coercive" faith to the bedside. 
Then I faced death myself in an ICU bed and learned that a lot of my fears were irrelevant in the Presence of the living God. And with that realization, I began to learn how God could make me a Christian and a nurse at the same time. 
Facing death in an ICU bed is a high-risk education not everyone can afford, so I've collected the lessons learned during my journey in this book. These spiritual case studies can be used to help nurses bring their faith to work. 
Discussion Questions included for small group study or personal growth.

Archaeopteryx The: The History...

Editors Charles River

The massively popular 1990 novel Jurassic Park by Michael Crichton and its subsequent movie adaptations led to a huge resurgence in interest in dinosaurs and the prehistoric world. That interest continues to the present day, even though most of the dinosaurs in Jurassic Park weren’t actually from the Jurassic period. Triceratops, Velociraptor, Tyrannosaurus Rex and the huge sauropods such as Brachiosaurus that feature in the book and movies all actually belong to the Late Cretaceous period, more than 40 million years after the end of the Jurassic. Regardless, certain kinds of dinosaurs remain instantly recognizable.
The movie also popularized pterodactyls, and the concept of flying dinosaurs fascinates people. There is no doubt that Archaeopteryx, which lived over 150 million years ago, was one of the earliest birds or avialans (bird-like creatures), and when the first fossil of it was discovered, it was hailed as a potential missing link between dinosaurs and birds. The name Archaeopteryx comes from Greek, the word for “ancient” and the term for “wing” or “feather.” The creature is occasionally referenced by the German, “Urvogel,” which literally means “primeval bird.” From the known species of Archaeopteryx, the creature grew no longer than half a meter (20 inches), including its long, bony tail. Despite its bird-like appearance, scientists point out that the genus has far more in common with the dinosaurs of its day than with the thousands of bird species of our modern age.
Over time, however, others would argue it was actually the missing link between birds and other reptiles. Meanwhile, the debate over whether it was the first avialan came and went, as it was discovered to not be the first.
