Fast After 50: How to Race Strong for the Rest of Your Life, 2nd Edition

"For runners, cyclists, triathletes, swimmers, rowers, skiers, and all dedicated athletes, getting older doesn’t have to mean getting slower. Drawing from the most current research on aging, longevity, and sports performance, Joe Friel―America’s leading endurance sports coach―shows how athletes can train smart, race strong, and stay healthy well past age 50. Alongside guidelines for high-intensity workouts, targeted strength training, recovery, cross-training, and nutrition for high performance, Friel has updated Fast After 50 to include: - New research on how to effectively build fitness with low-intensity training along with limited amounts of high-intensity training - Updated cross-training tips and plans to boost aerobic endurance without the risk of injury - Stories from “super agers” who have excelled in their sport at an advanced age - A chapter on “Beyond the Fifties” to keep athletes informed on how to stay in the race as they age up And so much more! In Fast After 50, Joe Friel shows athletes that age is just a number. Athletes of any age can extend their racing careers for decades―and race to win.

Surveillance and Surveillance Detection: A CIA Insider's Guide

"Have you ever thought you were being followed or watched? Have you ever needed to follow or observe someone and not be seen? In the world of espionage, surveillance and surveillance detection are a way of life. It is the job of every CIA operations officer to make sure he or she is not under surveillance—that is, being followed to the commission of an “operational act.” It is also the job of every CIA operations officer to surveil his own targets, whether they are terrorists or terrorist suspects, foreign intelligence officers, hostile actors, or even sometimes his own agents for vetting purposes. In everyday life, many people from all walks of life need to know how to perform similar operations. Whether avoiding a stalker, checking up on an unfaithful partner, or just securing one’s own privacy, a working knowledge of modern surveillance and surveillance detection techniques is a critical skill to possess. And there is nobody better to teach that skill than someone trained by the CIA."

Better Learning Through Structured Teaching: A Framework for the Gradual Release of Responsibility

"Now in its 3rd edition, Better Learning Through Structured Teaching is the definitive guide to the gradual release of responsibility—an instructional framework any teacher can use to help students to be more successful and self-directed learners. To gradually release responsibility is to equip students with what they need to master content and develop new competencies. On a day-to-day basis, it means delivering lessons intentionally structured to incorporate four interrelated phases: - Focused Instruction ('I do it') that sets students up for cognitive apprenticeship by establishing lesson purpose, modeling strategies and skills, and sharing information and insight. - Guided Instruction ('We do it together') that incorporates targeted prompts, cues, and questions to scaffold understanding. - Collaborative Learning ('You do it together') that allows students to consolidate and extend understanding through accountable group tasks built on discussion and cooperative problem-solving. - Independent Learning ('You do it alone') that provides students opportunities to practice and apply the skills and knowledge they've acquired to create authentic products and ask new questions. Authors Douglas Fisher and Nancy Frey detail the components of each phase, sharing proven strategies and real-life examples. You'll find a variety of useful tips for classroom implementation, along with new guidance on teacher credibility, social-emotional learning, and embedding assessment throughout all four phases. No matter what grade level or subject you teach, Better Learning Through Structured Teaching: A Framework for the Gradual Release of Responsibility is an essential resource for improving your practice and empowering your students. This audiobook is skillfully read by Brian Arens, and was produced and published by Echo Point Books & Media, an independent bookseller in Brattleboro, Vermont. Audio engineering by Allie McSwain."

Carry a Big Stick: The Uncommon Heroism of Theodore Roosevelt (Leaders in Action)

"Roosevelt: A Giant Among Leaders Theodore Roosevelt stands out as one of the most exceptional leaders in American history. He was a devoted husband and father, a politician, a soldier, a war journalist, an editor, a cattle rancher, a scientist, a writer, an athlete, a hunter, and a diplomat. While the list of his exploits seems imposing, it was his passionate commitment to what he believed was right and good and true that was dynamically compelling—even to those who opposed him. Theodore Roosevelt was a hero. In this thought-provoking look at his leadership in action, we see why he not only earned the respect and admiration of his contemporaries, but why, even today, he continues to capture out imagination. 'For me Theodore Roosevelt has always been a caricature, a political cartoon with a stick and coke-bottom glasses, riding up San Juan hill. Now, through this wonderful retelling of his life, this larger-than-life image has become a real, living and breathing person—still large, to be sure, and most definitely now alive.' —Michael Card, best-selling recording artist, songwriter, and author"

The Courage and Character of Theodore Roosevelt: A Hero Among Leaders

"Theodore Roosevelt: Hero 'Every great nation owes to the men whose lives have formed part of its greatness not merely the material effect of what they did, not merely the laws they placed upon the statute books or the victories they won over armed foes, but also the immense but indefinable moral influence produced by their deeds and words themselves upon the national character.' —Theodore Roosevelt, American Ideals Before his fiftieth birthday, Teddy Roosevelt had served as a state legislator in New York, undersecretary of the navy, police commissioner of New York City, governor of New York, and two terms as Vice President and then president of the United States. He also had run a cattle ranch in the Dakota Territories, had worked as a journalist and editor, conducted scientific expeditions o four continents, raised five children, and enjoyed a fulfilling marriage with his wife. No wonder he continues to capture our imaginations as he did the loyalty and respect of his own time. In The Courage and Character of Theodore Roosevelt, George Grant explores the life and character of one of the most remarkable men of the twentieth century. In doing so, he defines the qualities that made Roosevelt such an extraordinary leader, the exploits that made him so famous, and the spiritual values and faith that he affirmed with such vigor as he walked the world stage with an impact generated by few men in his time."

Cancer as a Metabolic Disease: On the Origin, Management, and Prevention of Cancer

"The book addresses controversies related to the origins of cancer and provides solutions to cancer management and prevention. It expands upon Otto Warburg's well-known theory that all cancer is a disease of energy metabolism. However, Warburg did not link his theory to the 'hallmarks of cancer' and thus his theory was discredited. This book aims to provide evidence, through case studies, that cancer is primarily a metabolic disease requring metabolic solutions for its management and prevention. Support for this position is derived from critical assessment of current cancer theories. Brain cancer case studies are presented as a proof of principle for metabolic solutions to disease management, but similarities are drawn to other types of cancer, including breast and colon, due to the same cellular mutations that they demonstrate. This audiobook is expertly read and engineered by Brian Arens. It was produced and published by Echo Point Books & Media, LLC, an independent bookseller in Brattleboro, Vermont."
