Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. One in a hundred babies is born with a heart defect. Until the mid-1950s, most died, but now, thanks to children's heart surgery, almost all can survive.This is the story - told by an insider - of how advances in surgery changed the odds.Australian heart surgeon Tim Cartmill AO was trained by some of the pioneers to save thousands of lives of newborns and children with heart defects. In turn, Tim has helped teach generations of heart surgeons around the world.In this autobiography, Tim writes of his "lucky" rural Australian childhood and education, his advanced training in Sydney and the US, and his contributions to surgery in the last half of the 20th Century. Understanding Life Backwards is also a reflection on the value of teamwork, teaching and mentorship, the roles of colleagues, family and friends in a busy professional life, and the "many satisfactions" of life in retirement.

Buch. Condition: Neu. nach der Bestellung gedruckt Neuware - Printed after ordering - Via Media Publishing was founded in 1992 in order to produce the peer reviewed quarterly Journal of Asian Martial Arts (1992-2012)-the first publication of its kind to focus on martial traditions in an academic format. Many of the authors were scholar-practitioners, who utilized their unique talents to present articles from various specializations, such as Asian Studies, kinesiology, history, anthropology, philosophy, and physical education. Those who were serious about this field subscribed to the journal to read articles noted for their high academic and aesthetic standards. Most were in the United States, Canada, and Europe, but also in other areas of the world. These naturally included martial art schools and individual practitioners. There was a strong base among university and public libraries too. As founder of Via Media, I've decided to assemble this anthology of articles relating to taijiquan. There are over three hundred million taiji practitioners worldwide, drawn to the art mainly for health maintenance and it therapeutic value. Researchers can benefit from this handy anthology, particularly for the information and analyses presented, including the rich bibliographic listings. Taiji practitioners will also gain insights to benefit their own practice, be it for health and/or self-defense. Included here are sixty-four articles, the same number of hexagrams in the Book of Changes (Yijing). In addition to 735 illustrations, there are glossaries, maps, charts, and bibliographies. Taijiquan is the term representing the general category of study, but taijiquan can be subdivided into its branches, from the original Chen Family Style to highly popular Yang Family Style. Other lineages are presented, such as the Wu and Sun systems.The variety of material in this anthology reflects in-depth scholarly research and the experience of master practitioners. It will be a valuable source taijiquan enthusiasts for futures decades. By making this book available to individuals and libraries, we hope this rare material will greatly contribute to further research in this field and inspire many to learn taijiquan with aspirations to mastery.
