Sears (1913-2002) was one of the pillars of US aerodynamics of the 20th century. These notes were published in 1948 as the first of four parts, and while the other three were never written, this one became a standard textbook, most recently revised for a 1970 publication. Telionis (emeritus, engineering science and mechanics, Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State U.) was one of several generations who were first introduced to ideal aerodynamics and hydrodynamics with this text, and prepares it for the next few generations. It covers kinematics of fluid flows, dynamics of frictionless fluids, the irrotational motion of an incompressible fluid: Laplace's equations, the motion of bodies in an incompressible frictionless fluid, and plane irrotational incompressible flow: complex variables.

Introducing a breathtaking promise: transform your body and get fit in just 10 minutes a day. Incorporating the latest research in exercise physiology, The 10-Minute Total Body Breakthrough is an ingenious program of interval, circuit, aerobic, and resistance training that accrues the benefits of hours at the gym in daily 10-minute workouts. And these are workouts that can be done anywhere, any time—home, office, hotel room, the park, and, of course, the local health club.

Created by Sean Foy, an exercise physiologist and behavioral coach, The 10-Minute Total Body Breakthrough counters the #1 reason people don't exercise—not enough time—with a scientifically proven, clinically tested 4-3-2-1 program: 4 minutes of high-energy cardio, 3 minutes of resistance, 2 minutes of core, and 1 minute of stretching and deep breathing. The step-by-step illustrated exercises are simplicity itself—air boxing, wall push-ups, chair jogging, stationary high-knee marching—and are presented in three levels geared to the reader's fitness, with four weeks of routines per level. Their potency lies in the benefits of nonstop movement, thermal effect, intensity, and more: in other words, why it truly takes just 10 carefully crafted minutes to boost metabolic rate, exercise all the major muscle groups, increase cardiovascular endurance, have a positive effect on cholesterol and blood pressure, and deliver a sense of well-being.

The Sears Parenting Library's latest addition is an exploration of how nutrition affects the brains and behavior of youngsters. N.D.D., or Nutrition Deficit Disorder, as coined by Dr. Bill Sears, is based on the idea that if 'you put junk food into a child's brain, you get back junk behavior and learning.'

Dr. Sears will explore the latest scientific research on the effects of nutrition on the brain. He will present case studies of his own patients who were diagnosed as 'N.D.D.' and showed major improvement in learning and behavior with diet change. Instead of simply medicating his patients, Dr. Sears looked for a better solution--in fact, with better nutrition, many of his patients were able to greatly reduce or even stop their medication. The book will also provide parents with a prescription, shopping and meal tips, and recipes to make implementing a healthier lifestyle that much easier.

THE N.D.D. BOOK will be a must-have for all parents who want to help their children become healthier, happier, and better prepared to learn.

Un libro dedicato ai genitori di bambini irrequieti, insonni, agitati. Individuare questi bambini sin dai primi giorni di vita aiuta i genitori a sviluppare nei loro confronti un atteggiamento positivo, che ne addolcirà i tratti più spigolosi e ne accentuerà la sensibilità e la disponibilità. Rispondere immediatamente al pianto di un bambino tenendolo in braccio e consolandolo, per esempio, svilupperà in lui un atteggiamento di fiducia verso gli altri e faciliterà la sua avventura nel mondo. Questo libro intende fornire gli strumenti per calmare i 'capricci' del bambino: per capire quali possono essere le cause di un pianto insistente, di un'insonnia prolungata, di un'agitazione costante. Cause mediche ma anche psicologiche o ambientali, a cui si può rispondere nel modo più opportuno.
