Health in Ancient Egypt and Nubia
Author: Joyce M. Filer
Publisher:
ISBN: 9780715632888
Category : Diseases and history
Languages : en
Pages : 176
Book Description
The study of health in ancient Egypt is a vastly undervalued discipline. The health and well-being of a population dramatically affects the success of society. Several individuals from Egypt's long history - Akhenaten, Tutankhamun, Siptah and Seqenenre for example - have been singled out for particular biological attention on the grounds that they endured diseases or traumatic episodes which may have affected the course of Egyptian history. Many ancient Egyptians undoubtedly did enjoy good health, but there is ample evidence to show that a wide range of diseases and health problems beset the population. While many books have concentrated upon the treatment of the body after death, no previous book has sought to examine the biological aspects of the living and place them within the ancient Egyptian context. Many imagine that only the poorer members of society suffered ill health, but this is simply not true. It is often assumed that medical treatment was the prerogative of the wealthy - but is this actually the case? This book sets the record straight, presenting evidence from biological, artistic and textual sources. In addition, as the most recent researcher to examine the controv

Martial Arts and Well-being
Author: Carol Fuller
Publisher: Routledge
ISBN: 1315448068
Category : Psychology
Languages : en
Pages : 135
Book Description
Martial Arts and Well-Being explores how martial arts as a source of learning can contribute in important ways to health and well-being, as well as provide other broader social benefits. Using psychological and sociological theory related to behaviour, ritual, perception and reality construction, the book seeks to illustrate, with empirical data, how individuals make sense of and perceive the value of martial arts in their lives. This book draws on data from over 500 people, across all age ranges, and powerfully demonstrates that participating in martial arts can have a profound influence on the construction of behaviour patterns that are directly linked to lifestyle and health. Making individual connections regarding the benefits of practice, improvements to health and well-being – regardless of whether these improvements are ‘true’ in a medical sense – this book offers an important and original window into the importance of beliefs to health and well-being as well as the value of thinking about education as a process of life-long learning. This book will be of great interest to a range of audiences, including researchers, academics and postgraduate students interested in sports and exercise psychology, martial art studies and health and well-being. It should also be of interest to sociologists, social workers and martial arts practitioners.
