  Kinesiology, the scientific study of human movement, is a multidisciplinary field that integrates principles from anatomy, physiology, biomechanics, and neuroscience. It examines how the body moves, the forces that act upon it, and the underlying mechanisms that control movement. By understanding these principles, professionals in various fields, including physical therapy, sports science, and occupational therapy, can enhance human performance, prevent injuries, and improve rehabilitation strategies. 
  The origins of kinesiology date back to ancient civilizations, where scholars like Aristotle and Galen first explored the mechanics of movement. However, the field gained prominence in the 19th and 20th centuries as scientific advancements allowed for a deeper understanding of biomechanics and motor control. Today, kinesiology encompasses a vast range of topics, from the microscopic study of muscle fibers to large-scale analyses of athletic performance. 
  One of the core components of kinesiology is biomechanics, which applies the principles of physics and engineering to study how forces influence movement. Biomechanics helps explain how the body maintains balance, generates power, and absorbs impact. For example, analyzing the gait cycle of a runner can reveal inefficiencies that may lead to injuries. By optimizing movement patterns, biomechanics contributes to improving athletic performance and developing assistive technologies such as prosthetics and orthotics.

  National Bestseller 
  Don’t despair. Don’t retreat. Fight back. 
  A call-to-action for Democrats, moderate Republicans, and other anti-Trump dissenters, detailing the history of social and political policies, how Obama treated them, how Trump has the power to undermine them, and what people can do to fight back. 
  The stunning election of Donald J. Trump rocked an already divided America and left scores of citizens, including the nearly sixty-five million voters who supported Hillary Clinton, feeling bereft and powerless. Now, Gene Stone, author of The Bush Survival Bible, offers invaluable guidance and concrete solutions the resistance can use to make a difference in this serious call-to-arms—showing them how to move from anger and despair to activism against the Trump presidency and its potentially lasting effects on our democracy.   
  Before we can successfully engage, we need to be clear about the battles we face. Stone outlines political and social concepts—including such issues as Civil Rights, Women’s Rights, the Environment, Obamacare, International relations, and LGBTQ Rights—providing a brief history of each, a refresher on Obama's policies over his eight years in office, and an analysis of how Trump’s administration is threatening them. But lest we feel overwhelmed by the scale of the threat and settle for aimless outrage, Stone then provides an invaluable guide for fighting back—referring to organizations, people, sites, and countless other resources that are working tirelessly to restore the power of the people, safeguard our democracy, and ensure that none of us are left behind in our quest for relentless and equitable progress. 
  While marches and social media are important forms of protest, concrete actions that achieve real and measurable change are a vital part of the fight. Positive and reinforcing, The Trump Survival Guide presents the essential information we need to effectively make our voices heard and our power felt, during the Trump presidency and beyond.

  HowExpert Guide to Honey Bees & Beekeeping is a great starter guide for those who are simply interested in honey bees or those who are interested in becoming beekeepers themselves. It describes the science of the honey bee itself, as well as the inner workings of each member and how they work together to survive. 
  The colony, as a whole, can be treated as its own organism because of how the honey bees work together to perform tasks as a social species. Beekeepers have been observing such behaviors for generations, and I would like to pass on the knowledge to others. The beekeeping portion of this guide provides a wealth of knowledge on how to start your own apiary. 
  Learn about all the equipment necessary for your operation, how to inspect your hives, what a beekeeper does throughout the year, a short guide to pests and diseases, bee-friendly plants, and how to extract honey and wax from your hives. All of this information can be found in this book. Just a warning, this hobby can cause one to become very passionate about one very small and fuzzy insect. It is not uncommon for a beekeeper to want to be constantly learning about honey bees. 
  About the Author 
  Emily Helton was introduced to the science of honey bees and the world of beekeeping when she was 17 years old. Dr. Jamie Ellis offered her a summer job at the University of Florida Honey Bee Research and Extension Laboratory. Through her six years working at the lab, she grew to love learning everything she could about honey bees and moved on to teaching others as well. Emily spoke at schools, clubs, and conferences and assisted in planning educational events in hopes of reaching more people. Now living in California, Emily voluntarily teaches at the Honeybee Discovery Center in Orland, where she is also on the Educational Committee and Advisory Council.
