Book Description
Poverty is an issue facing countries around the globe, yet it is a multi-dimensional phenomenon caused by a variety of factors, differing from context with no linear chain of cause and effect. The occurrence and persistence of poverty is influenced by an interrelated web of economic, social, psychological, cultural, and political factors. Focusing on countries-in-transition belonging to the former Soviet bloc where the existence of poverty was officially denied until the collapse of the Soviet Union, this volume examines the ways in which each country is dealing with its newly acknowledged and rapidly increasing poverty. The transition from socialism to democracy and market economies has proved more difficult and costly than anyone imagined. Scholars from the six countries examined here profile and evaluate current social policies and programs on poverty eradication and provide a comparative perspective that ensures that culturally specific solutions can be found in place of borrowed solutions from abroad - solutions which have thus far ignored the cultural factor and have thus failed to deliver.

The Grip of It
Author: Jac Jemc
Publisher: FSG Originals
ISBN: 0374716072
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 241
Book Description
Finalist for the Chicago Review of Books Fiction Award, Dan Chaon's Best of 2017 pick in Publishers Weekly, one of Vol. 1 Brooklyn's Best Books of 2017, a BOMB Magazine "Looking Back on 2017: Literature" Pick, and one of Vulture's 10 Best Thriller Books of 2017. Jac Jemc's The Grip of It is a chilling literary horror novel about a young couple haunted by their newly purchased home Touring their prospective suburban home, Julie and James are stopped by a noise. Deep and vibrating, like throat singing. Ancient, husky, and rasping, but underwater. “That’s just the house settling,” the real estate agent assures them with a smile. He is wrong. The move—prompted by James’s penchant for gambling and his general inability to keep his impulses in check—is quick and seamless; both Julie and James are happy to start afresh. But this house, which sits between a lake and a forest, has its own plans for the unsuspecting couple. As Julie and James try to establish a sense of normalcy, the home and its surrounding terrain become the locus of increasingly strange happenings. The framework— claustrophobic, riddled with hidden rooms within rooms—becomes unrecognizable, decaying before their eyes. Stains are animated on the wall—contracting, expanding—and map themselves onto Julie’s body in the form of painful, grisly bruises. Like the house that torments the troubled married couple living within its walls, The Grip of It oozes with palpable terror and skin-prickling dread. Its architect, Jac Jemc, meticulously traces Julie and James’s unsettling journey through the depths of their new home as they fight to free themselves from its crushing grip.

Snatch Physics

Languages : en
Pages : 111
Book Description
The kettlebell snatch is a full body exercise that delivers amazing effects. The snatch can be used to increase cardiovascular endurance, muscular endurance, strength, flexibility, core stability, explosive power, and much more. The snatch truly works each and every major joint in the body, ankles, knees, hips, shoulders, elbow, and wrists. For strength, you can't deny the major areas that will improve, such as, latissimus dorsi, deltoid, triceps, erector spinae, abdominals, glute, hamstrings, calves, hip flexors, quadriceps, lumbrical muscles, and many more. All these properties make it the king of kettlebell exercises, an exercise everyone should include in his or her training. Mastering the snatch takes time, as someone who has completed 532 unbroken snatches in 30 minutes, working with kettlebells for over a decade, and trained thousands of people across the world, I'm able to break down the snatch step-by-step in such a way that you can go from zero to comfortably snatching at the end of the 21 days. The snatch is an exercise in which a weight is lifted in one continuous motion from start to overhead with an explosive movement in which the weight arrives at the top through velocity generated at the start till approximately middle of the full movement. This kettlebell book includes many photos of the exercises and drills broken down step-by-step. Bonus links to videos which demo the full movement and drills. 21 days to kettlebell snatchDay 1: Practice hook grip/hand insertionDay 2: Practice movement for the pendulumDay 3: Practice pendulum low swingDay 4: Practice pendulum swingDay 5: Practice pendulum high swingDay 6: Keep drillingDay 7: Practice rackingDay 8: Practice assisted hand insertionDay 9: Practice drop into rackDay 10: Practice assisted half snatchDay 11: Practice half snatchDay 12: What fails firstDay 13: Practice pull-outDay 14: Practice push press and full dropDay 15: Practice full snatch one kettlebellDay 16: Practice dead clean one kettlebellDay 17: Practice dead snatch one kettlebellDay 18: Practice double kettlebell pendulum swingDay 19: Practice kettlebell pulling swing and snatchDay 20: Practice double kettlebell swing snatchDay 21: Practice snatch “A very comprehensive guide covering a wide range of what novices and enthusiasts need to know about the kettlebell snatch. Well detailed for trainers and trainees with many video links. A book that will help with good snatching and variations.” Olivier Vaudour Professional Kettlebell Sport Athlete Bonus videos This book includes links to videos, however, all information for the snatch is contained within this book, the videos are to be considered a bonus. New dimension of training Knowing how to snatch adds a completely new dimension to your training, not just by using the exercise itself for multiple reps and programming it within your workouts, but also for things such as getting heavier weight overhead that you would normally not be able too. This assists with creating a new dimension of strength through exercises like heavy static overhead holds/walks, overhead reverse lunge, etc.
