What if Isaac Newton had never lived? Robert Hooke and Edmond Halley, whose place in history has been overshadowed by the giant figure of Newton, were pioneering scientists within their own right, and instrumental in establishing the Royal Society.Whilst Newton is widely regarded as one of the greatest scientists of all time, and the father of the English scientific revolution, John and Mary Gribbin uncover the fascinating story of Robert Hooke and Edmond Halley, whose scientific achievements neatly embrace the hundred years or so during which science as we know it became established in Britain. They argue persuasively that even without Newton science in Britain would have made a great leap forward in the second half of the seventeenth century, headed by two extraordinary men, Hooke and Halley.

In Umberto Eco's first novel, The Name of the Rose, Nicholas of Morimondo laments, «We no longer have the learning of the ancients, the age of giants is past!» To which the protagonist, William of Baskerville, replies: «We are dwarfs, but dwarfs who stand on the shoulders of those giants, and small though we are, we sometimes manage to see farther on the horizon than they.» On the Shoulders of Giants is a collection of essays based on lectures Eco famously delivered at the Milanesiana Festival in Milan over the last fifteen years of his life. Previously unpublished, the essays explore themes he returned to again and again in his writing: the roots of Western culture and the origin of language, the nature of beauty and ugliness, the potency of conspiracies, the lure of mysteries, and the imperfections of art. Eco examines the dynamics of creativity and considers how every act of innovation occurs in conversation with a superior ancestor. In these playful, witty, and breathtakingly erudite essays, we encounter an intellectual who reads comic strips, reflects on Heraclitus, Dante, and Rimbaud, listens to Carla Bruni, and watches Casablanca while thinking about Proust. On the Shoulders of Giants reveals both the humor and the colossal knowledge of a contemporary giant.

‘Release Your Kinetic Chain with Exercises for the Jaw to Shoulder’ can help you to rapidly rehabilitate and heal and restore the tissues of your head, jaw, neck, shoulders and core with its intelligently designed, easy-to-follow exercise routines! It is an ideal tool if you suffer from headaches, jaw pain, neck pain, or shoulder pain. Written for the general public, by the internationally best-selling authors of ‘Release Your Pain’, this book features 240 black and white pages of information, illustrations, and exercises. ================================= ACTIVATE YOUR KINETIC CHAIN ================================= The exercise routines in this book activate your entire 'kinetic chain', from your jaw to your shoulder, and even into your core! You can use these routines to recover from injuries to the jaw, neck, or shoulder, including: • TMJ- Tempromandibular Joint Disorder • Injuries to the soft tissues of the jaw, neck, or shoulder • Whiplash • Headaches • Neck Pain • Rotator Cuff Injuries • Shoulder Pain ================================= WHY EXERCISE FOR REHABILITATION? ================================= If you suffer from jaw, neck, or shoulder pain, your physician may recommend exercise as part of your treatment. But which exercise? How do you find exercises that help to resolve your condition? For example, with a jaw injury, exercising just the jaw muscles won’t resolve your problem. In fact, it may even make the pain worse. This is often because all the surrounding muscles and tissues are also restricted or injured – but may not be exhibiting pain syndromes. These structures may even be the cause of the pain in your jaw! ======================== WHAT'S DIFFERENT ======================== Rather than working with only the single area of injury, the exercise routines in this book treat your body as a dynamic web of interconnected links – a kinetic chain. The exercise programs in the ‘Release Your Kinetic Chain’ books use step-by-step routines that take into consideration kinetic chain relationships, tissue interactions, core imbalances, elastic power, and aerobic training. We strive to give you a balanced means of achieving a good strong body that is injury-free. Since injury or weakness in one area of your body always affects the function of numerous other related areas, we designed our routines to take into account direct muscular connections, muscle antagonists, fascial connections, as well as the fact that tissue restrictions often affect the primary mechanisms of energy storage and release. =============================================== RESOLVE NEURO-MUSCULAR AND SOFT-TISSUE INJURIES =============================================== Developed by the internationally best-selling authors of ‘Release Your Pain ’, these exercise routines – when performed on their own, or when combined with a treatment modality – will help you to take a key step towards resolving long-standing neuromuscular problems and soft-tissue injuries.
