Growth, Maturation, Physical Activity, and Sport
Growth, Maturation, Physical Activity, and Sport, Third Edition, is uniquely focused on the biological growth and maturation of children and adolescents in relation to physical performance (both physical activity and sport).Written by a true legend in the field, Robert M. Malina, this latest edition features new content exploring the characteristics of youth sports, associated benefits and risks, and efforts aimed at talent development. This essential resource guides readers through the complexities of human growth and maturation with the latest research findings and over 350 charts and illustrations that visually support the material.The content has been expanded and modified to incorporate recent advances in technology and science, such as progress in the study of the human genome, deeper understanding of hormone regulation during growth, and advancements in body composition assessment. Growth, Maturation, Physical Activity, and Sport, Third Edition, uses a five-part structure, enabling readers to gain a basic understanding of growth and maturation and then build upon that foundation.The first two parts focus on age- and sex-associated variations in body composition and explore the concept of biological maturation.Part III discusses primary factors that interact to regulate the process of growth and maturation—hormones, genes, nutrients and energy, and social factors.Part IV considers motor development and performance from infancy through adolescence.Part V has been added to provide an overview of youth sports, participation statistics, and motivation for participation, as well as a review of the growth and maturity characteristics of male and female participants in a variety of team and individual sports. Growth, Maturation, Physical Activity, and Sport, Third Edition, is the only text to focus on the biological growth and maturation process of children and adolescents as it relates to physical activity and performance.Readers will complete the text with an appreciation for the field and its influence in physical education, kinesiology, and the sport sciences.

Growing Up and Out of Crime : Desistance, Maturation, and Emerging Adulthood
Developmental norms and expectations for young people aged 18–25 have diverged from previous generations, creating a new stage in the life course called Emerging Adulthood.Theory surrounding this stage of emerging adulthood emphasizes a delay in achieving turning points into adulthood that are typical of this age group.These delays, in turn, affect how maturation can influence the desistance from crime. Utilizing evidence from the narratives of justice-involved emerging adults, this book details key turning points for today’s young person trying to desist from crime.Building on evidence from researchers and theorists as well as from the author’s own narrative interviews, this book provides a brief and approachable review of the extant literature, summarizing work across the fields of developmental psychology, sociology, and criminology to provide the reader with an understanding of the maturation of young people in their late teens and 20s before concluding with considerations for policy and practice building from this evidence. Growing Up and Out of Crime is perfect for students, scholars, and academics who study youth, young adults, and their maturation, deviance, and desistance as well as for practitioners working with young people engaging in desistance.

Cover Crops and Sustainable Agriculture
This book will not serve as the "encyclopedia of cover crop management," but it’s close.The benefits of a wide range of individual cover crops and blends/mixes for specific agronomic crop rotations and geographic locations are included.Descriptions, photographs, and illustrations show how cover crops look in the field, including plant height, leaf architecture, and rooting patterns.Long term benefits are described for soil health, soil structure, water quality, nutrient contributions, soil biodiversity, air quality and climate change.In addition to the "whys" of cover crop use, the book includes details on the "hows:" how to choose cover crops for specific applications and locations; how (and when) to plant; how to manage and maintain the cover for maximum benefit; and how and when to terminate.Planting options include: drilling/planting between rows of an agronomic crop at planting time, or when the crop is short (i.e. corn in early June); "aerial" seeding with an airplane or high-clearance machine shortly before the crop reaches maturity; and drilling/planting immediately after harvest of the agronomic crop.Selected cover crops (blends) can help with pest and disease management.Cover crops are an economic input with an expected return on investment, similar to pesticides and fertilizer.As part of a continuous no-till system, cover crops provide long-term biological, chemical and structural benefits.The resulting increase in soil organic matter means the agronomic crop yields benefit from better water infiltration and water holding capacity, greater availability of nitrogen and other nutrients, deeper rooting, and increased soil microbial activity in the root zone.
