Fascial Release for Structural Balance
This thoroughly revised edition of the authoritative reference Fascial Release for Structural Balance includes all of the most current research on the role of fascia and myofascia in the body, and how treatment affects it.James Earls and Thomas Myers have taken advantage of more sophisticated testing to explore in greater detail the relationship between anatomical structure and function, making this updated edition an even more essential guide.Fascia, the soft tissue surrounding muscles, bones, and organs, plays a crucial role in supporting the body.By learning to intelligently manipulate it, a bodyworker or therapist can help with many chronic conditions that their clients suffer from, providing immediate pain relief as well as reducing the strains that may contribute to the patient's ongoing aches and pains and leading to rapid, effective, and lasting pain relief.The authors argue that approaching the fascia requires "a different eye, a different touch, and tissue-specific techniques."Offering a detailed introduction to structural anatomy and fascial release therapy, including postural analysis, complete technique descriptions, and the art of proper assessment of a patient through "bodyreading," the book features 150 color photographs that clearly demonstrate each technique.Earls and Myers, both respected bodywork professionals, provide any bodywork practitioner using manual therapy-including physiotherapists, osteopaths, chiropractors, myofascial and trigger point therapists, and massage therapists-the information they need to deliver effective treatments and create long-lasting, systemic change in clients' shape and structure.

Is there a timer for mindfulness training, meditation, yoga, and spirituality?
There is no set timer for mindfulness training, meditation, yoga, and spirituality as it varies from person to person. Some people may find it helpful to start with short sessions, such as 5-10 minutes, and gradually increase the duration as they become more comfortable. Others may prefer longer sessions right from the start. It's important to listen to your body and mind and find a timing that works best for you. The key is to be consistent and make it a regular practice in your daily routine.

What are meditation and mindfulness?
Meditation is a practice that involves focusing the mind on a particular object, thought, or activity to train attention and awareness, and achieve a mentally clear and emotionally calm state. Mindfulness is a type of meditation that involves paying attention to the present moment without judgment. It involves being fully aware of your thoughts, feelings, bodily sensations, and surrounding environment. Both meditation and mindfulness have been shown to have numerous benefits for mental and physical well-being, including reducing stress, improving focus, and enhancing overall quality of life.

Is loving-kindness meditation sufficient instead of mindfulness meditation?
Loving-kindness meditation and mindfulness meditation serve different purposes and can complement each other. While mindfulness meditation focuses on being present and aware of one's thoughts and feelings without judgment, loving-kindness meditation cultivates feelings of compassion and goodwill towards oneself and others. Both practices can be beneficial for overall well-being, and individuals may choose to incorporate both into their meditation routine for a more holistic approach to mental and emotional health. Ultimately, the effectiveness of each practice depends on the individual's specific needs and goals.

What is the difference between mantra meditation and mindfulness meditation?
Mantra meditation involves focusing on a specific word, phrase, or sound to quiet the mind and cultivate a sense of inner peace. This repetition helps to anchor the mind and prevent distractions. On the other hand, mindfulness meditation involves being fully present in the moment, observing thoughts, feelings, and sensations without judgment. It emphasizes awareness of the present moment and acceptance of whatever arises. Both practices can help reduce stress and improve overall well-being, but they differ in their specific techniques and focuses.

Structural Dynamics
Dynamics is increasingly being identified by consulting engineers as one of the key skills which needs to be taught in civil engineering degree programs.This is driven by the trend towards lighter, more vibration-prone structures, the growth of business in earthquake regions, the identification of new threats such as terrorist attack and the increased availability of sophisticated dynamic analysis tools. Martin Williams presents this short, accessible introduction to the area of structural dynamics.He begins by describing dynamic systems and their representation for analytical purposes.The two main chapters deal with linear analysis of single (SDOF) and multi-degree-of-freedom (MDOF) systems, under free vibration and in response to a variety of forcing functions.Hand analysis of continuous systems is covered briefly to illustrate the key principles.Methods of calculation of non-linear dynamic response is also discussed.Lastly, the key principles of random vibration analysis are presented – this approach is crucial for wind engineering and is increasingly important for other load cases.An appendix briefly summarizes relevant mathematical techniques.Extensive use is made of worked examples, mostly drawn from civil engineering (though not exclusively – there is considerable benefit to be gained from emphasizing the commonality with other branches of engineering).This introductory dynamics textbook is aimed at upper level civil engineering undergraduates and those starting an M.Sc. course in the area.

Structural Anthropology Zero
This volume of Lévi-Strauss's writings from 1941 to 1947 bears witness to a period of his work which is often overlooked but which was the crucible for the structural anthropology that he would go on to develop in the years that followed. Like many European Jewish intellectuals, Lévi-Strauss had sought refuge in New York while the Nazis overran and occupied much of Europe. He had already been introduced to Jakobson and structural linguistics but he had not yet laid out an agenda for structuralism, which he would do in the 1950s and 60s.At the same time, these American years were the time when Lévi-Strauss would learn of some of the world's most devastating historical catastrophes - the genocide of the indigenous American peoples and of European Jews. From the beginning of the 1950s, Lévi-Strauss's anthropology tacitly bears the heavy weight of the memory and possibility of the Shoah.To speak of 'structural anthropology zero' is therefore to refer to the source of a way of thinking which turned our conception of the human on its head.But this prequel to Structural Anthropology also underlines the sense of a tabula rasa which animated its author at the end of the war as well as the project – shared with others – of a civilizational rebirth on novel grounds. Published here in English for the first time, this volume of Lévi-Strauss’s texts from the 1940s will be of great interest to students and scholars in anthropology, sociology and the social sciences generally.

What is structural unemployment?
Structural unemployment is a type of unemployment that occurs when there is a mismatch between the skills that workers possess and the skills that employers require. This mismatch can be due to changes in technology, shifts in consumer demand, or changes in the structure of the economy. Structural unemployment is often long-term in nature and can be difficult to address through short-term economic policies. It typically requires retraining programs, education initiatives, and other long-term solutions to help affected workers find new employment opportunities.
