Rick Hansen's Man In Motion World Tour
Author: Jake MacDonald
Publisher: Greystone Books Ltd
ISBN: 1771643439
Category : Social Science
Languages : en
Pages : 260
Book Description
A beautifully illustrated 30th anniversary celebration of Rick Hansen's Man in Motion Tour, which broke barriers for people with disabilities and inspired ordinary citizens to realize impossible dreams. On March 21, 1985, world-class wheelchair marathoner and multiple Paralympic medalist Rick Hansen set out from Vancouver, British Columbia, on his Man in Motion World Tour. The twenty-six-month trek took him and a small but determined crew almost 25,000 miles through 34 countries on four continents before crossing Canada. In the process, they raised $26 million for spinal cord research and for initiatives to improve the quality of life and accessibility for people with disabilities. Thirty years after the journey ended, Rick Hansen's Man in Motion Tour celebrates that ground-breaking accomplishment and, with a foreword from Rick himself, highlights the legacy of the Man in Motion World Tour and the amazing progress it has spurred up to the present day. Illustrated with exclusive photographs from the Rick Hansen Foundation archives, it is a universal story of courage and adversity, human strength and personal suffering, and, above all, the power of community to effect lasting social change.

Advances in Robot Kinematics: Motion in Man and Machine
Author: Jadran Lenarčič
Publisher: Springer Science & Business Media
ISBN: 9048192625
Category : Technology & Engineering
Languages : en
Pages : 551
Book Description
The ?rst International Meeting of Advances in Robot Kinematics, ARK, occurred in September 1988, by invitation to Ljubljana, Slovenia, of a group of 20 int- nationally recognized researchers, representing six different countries from three continents. There were 22 lectures and approximately 150 attendees. This success of bringing together excellent research and the international community, led to the formation of a Scienti?c Committee and the decision to repeat the event biannually. The meeting was made open to all individuals with a critical peer review process of submitted papers. The meetings have since been continuously supported by the Jozef ? Stefan Institute and since 1992 have come under patronage of the Inter- tionalFederationforthePromotionofMechanismandMachineScience(IFToMM). Springer published the ?rst book of the series in 1991 and since 1994 Kluwer and Springer have published a book of the presented papers every two years. The papers in this book present the latest topics and methods in the kinem- ics, control and design of robotic manipulators. They consider the full range of - botic systems, including serial, parallel and cable driven manipulators, both planar and spatial. The systems range from being less than fully mobile to kinematically redundant to overconstrained. The meeting included recent advances in emerging areas such as the design and control of humanoids and humanoid subsystems, the analysis, modeling and simulation of human body motion, the mobility analysis of protein molecules and the development of systems which integrate man and - chine.

People in Motion

Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 131
Book Description
The purpose of THIS book is to give the youth today a ground floor glimpse of some of the struggle and protest that happened in the past. I've tried to make this story lively, hands on and down to earth-so that maybe some young people today can get some ideas of how to organize people and themselves on a grass roots level to deal with the heartless killers and confidence men that run society today. Just HOW we should all organize ourselves now is a tricky question now that the communist regimes have long since been defeated or turned back into some form of state capitalist dictatorship. There is no new blueprint for human liberation that is very well worked out. Nevertheless, those of us who work for a living or are trying to get a job or make a decent life have got to form collectives; to patiently and thoughtfully collaborate and develop a strategy to take this society into an egalitarian direction. We have to try, against difficult odds to initiate a new movement that interests and engages the coming generations in struggling for human liberation. This way OUR descendants can say, "The ones who went before us fought so that we could have a better life." Hopefully, if we keep at it, new ways of waging class war and new ways of organizing egalitarian movements and societies will emerge.

Amos Alonzo Stagg: College Football's Man in Motion
Author: Jennifer Taylor Hall
Publisher: Arcadia Publishing
ISBN: 146714522X
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 192
Book Description
Inside the life of Amos Alonzo Stagg, a man who not only witnessed great change, but was responsible for much of it in college football. The arc of Amos Alonzo Stagg's life spanned the presidencies of Abraham Lincoln and John F. Kennedy. His career flourished on the Chicago Midway and found an encore on California's Pacific coast and in Pennsylvania's Susquehanna Valley. Stagg pioneered use of the tackling dummy, the huddle, the forward pass, the shift, the man-in-motion, the quick kick and the short punt. He developed the raw talent of young men with little or no athletic background long before the age of scholarship athletes, and his championship teams at the University of Chicago established the school's national reputation before it became famous for producing Nobel laureates. He helped shape the modern Olympic Games, and the coaching tree he nurtured continues to bear fruit in football programs across the country. Author Jennifer Taylor Hall traces the remarkable life of the Grand Old Man of Football.
