Sinossi

Sweat and Survival unveils the fascinating story of how human sweating capabilities have been crucial to our species' success and survival. Through a compelling blend of scientific research and practical insights, the book explores the intricate workings of our body's 2-3 million sweat glands and their fundamental role in maintaining optimal body temperature.This comprehensive examination stands out for its unique integration of molecular biology, evolutionary history, and modern applications, making complex physiological concepts accessible to both medical professionals and curious general readers. The book progresses logically from the basic molecular composition of sweat to its broader implications in human evolution and contemporary life.It reveals how our distinctive eccrine glands set us apart from most mammals, enabling our ancestors to become successful persistent hunters and adapt to diverse climates. Drawing from cutting-edge research in physiology, evolutionary biology, and anthropology, the text weaves together evidence from thermal imaging studies, biochemical analyses, and comparative physiological research to present a complete picture of sweat's significance.The narrative extends beyond basic biology to explore practical applications in sports science, medical diagnostics, and climate adaptation studies. Readers gain valuable insights into optimizing their body's cooling mechanisms, understanding dehydration risks, and recognizing sweat's role in various aspects of human health and performance.By examining this seemingly simple bodily function through multiple scientific lenses, the book demonstrates how thermoregulation continues to influence everything from athletic performance to urban planning, making it relevant for anyone interested in human biology and adaptation.

    Beyond the Jumbotron: Using Immersive Technology to Transform the Fan Experience A simple guidebook for navigating the new world of sports marketing and brand managementThe modern consumer, today’s fan, is no longer passive. Over three quarters of millennials say they prefer experiences over traditional advertising. Old approaches won’t work. Yard barkers handing out free towels. A stadium plastered with billboards. Maybe a new Jumbotron. Today’s fan is looking for something more engaging, more interactive, and more immersive.Industry pioneer, James Giglio, the founder of MVP Interactive, takes us through his fascinating decade-long journey, starting out with a vision for immersive experiences, well before anyone had ever heard of virtual reality. Over that time, he has had the opportunity to work with many leading sports teams, professional leagues, advertising agencies, and consumer brands, to completely redefine the fan experience and now he shares those lessons with us.James also takes us through his own personal story of building a startup, from growing up as a daydreaming kid in Ocean County, New Jersey, to working with an advertising agency in New York and recognizing that three themes were emerging: the iPhone app explosion, the increased use of digital signage or so-called “street furniture,” and the emergence of “pop up events” by leading brands. He began to wonder how these three trends could be brought together. What if the immersive technology on our iPhone could be brought to the streetscape? What if those digital displays could become interactive? And what if brands could attract consumers to them rather them just hawking them promotions and free stuff? The result was MVP Interactive. But like any startup, there were bumps along the way and James’ story is a heartfelt, honest tale of making many... let’s just say, learning a lot of lessons along the way.The timing could not be better. Post Covid, events are back and back big. During the pandemic, we all went fully remote and realized it was just way too much screentime. But we are also not going back to the way it was. Beyond the Jumbotron lies a new, hybrid world where human interaction and technology combine. James takes us through not only the why — the dramatic changes in consumer attitudes and behavior that are driving the adoption of immersive technology, but more importantly the how — how to bring these projects to life and lead to real, measurable result after case study and shows the possibilities of new technology are not only endless, but also just the beginning. lts for sports properties and brands. James and his team at MVP Interactive have completed over 200 immersive technology projects and the book is filled with case study after case study and shows the possibilities of new technology are not only endless, but also just the beginning.

    Pundits have long predicted the end of conventional warfare but for the foreseeable future, 
    it is here to stay. Counterinsurgency, guerrilla warfare, terrorism, peace enforcement, policing. 
     
     
     
    All these forms, like conventional warfare, are as old as mankind. Modern militaries claim to be 
    professional bodies, responsible for the education, control, and discipline of their members. But at least one aspect of this claim is poorly executed: tactics are not taught to junior leaders, which is why this guide is essential for all junior leaders, officers, and NCOs alike. 
     
     
     
    There is a military adage that there is no teacher like the enemy. True; but the wise commander 
    prepares to meet that enemy and become their teacher instead. This is your essential study guide.
