This book focuses on all of the major problems associated with the absence of body weight in space, by analyzing effects, adaption, and re-adaptation upon returning to Earth, using sound scientific principles embedded in a historical context. Serious problems for space travelers range from Space Motion Sickness (SMS) to recently discovered ocular effects that may permanently impair vision. Fluid loss and shifts, spinal changes, and bone and muscle loss are also all results of weightlessness. Starting with a brief definition and history of weightlessness, the authors then address in detail each problem as well as the countermeasures aimed at alleviating them. In some cases, alternative hypotheses regarding what can and should be attempted are also presented. As plans for long-term missions to the Moon and Mars develop, it will be essential to find countermeasures to weightlessness that are effective for missions that could span years.

If someone told you the path to unburdening your body and mind requires more weight, would you listen? In Pursuit of Weightlessness is a journey through the trenches of mind-body fitness. Tom Fazio explores principles of peace, power, and enlightenment under the iron fists of Shaolin monks, high on hallucinogenic mushrooms, amid unexpected homelessness, and through random dice-dictated experiments. Along the way you'll discover the most effective techniques to burn fat, build muscle, bulletproof the body, overcome personal challenges, and liberate your mind from all that holds you back. This is not a mere physical training manual or a simple guide to meditation and 'inner peace.' This is a gritty, pragmatic prescription for living with passion. The reader will learn exactly what's required to transform the body, unburden the mind, and become weightless.

"Body Physics was designed to meet the objectives of a one-term high school or freshman level course in physical science, typically designed to provide non-science majors and undeclared students with exposure to the most basic principles in physics while fulfilling a science-with-lab core requirement. The content level is aimed at students taking their first college science course, whether or not they are planning to major in science. However, with minor supplementation by other resources, such as OpenStax College Physics, this textbook could easily be used as the primary resource in 200-level introductory courses. Chapters that may be more appropriate for physics courses than for general science courses are noted with an asterisk symbol (*). Of course this textbook could be used to supplement other primary resources in any physics course covering mechanics and thermodynamics"--Textbook Web page.

This book examines the generally bad effects of weightlessness on the human body, which can include loss of bone and skeletal muscle mass, heart atrophy, immune system dysfunction and neurological problems. A large number of peer reviewed scientific studies are looked at and commented on. Some of the results of these studies have profound implications, which the author is not shy about pointing out. First hand accounts of the effects of weightlessness on a number of astronauts and cosmonauts are described and commented on. Other sources of information, including websites, are looked at if their ideas relating to weightlessness are interesting and seem well supported by facts. The ideas in this book are important to anyone who goes on a long space mission, especially to Mars or a nearby asteroid. Since the effects of weightlessness on the human body are similar to aging, except much faster, the author feels that this subject has relevance to almost everybody. The best known antidote to the effects of weightlessness has been found to be exercise, which is also able to slow down at least some of the effects of aging on Earth.

The best book for losing weight without dieting. Do not let them fool you. 90% of weight loss books are a con or are based on pointless diets. This is a scientific method that works perfectly, that has been calibrated over years and approved by different committees of doctors in physics. This is the only book that applies the laws of physics to weight loss.

Biomechanics of the Human Body teaches basic physics concepts using examples and problems based on the human body. The reader will also learn how the laws of mechanics may help to understand the conditions of the static and dynamic equilibrium of one of the marvels of nature: the human body. The mathematical language used in physics has always been pointed out as responsible for students’ difficulties. So, each concept given is followed by explanatory examples, with subsequent application and fixation exercises. It is a richly illustrated book that facilitates the comprehension of presented concepts. Biomechanics of the Human Body can be useful to students of physical and occupational therapy, physical education, the life sciences, and health care professionals who deal with biomechanics. This book is also recommended for sport practitioners as well as the general reader interested in the mechanics of the human body.

This book offers an overview of neuroscience research performed in space since the observations made during the first manned space flights to the detailed scientific investigations currently being carried out onboard the International Space Station. This book is for the general scientific reader. Each project and the reason why it was done is described with illustrations, rationale and hypothesis, and a summary of results. Also, reference lists guide readers to the published papers from experiments. This book is a legacy of what we have learned on brain mechanisms and functions through research done in space, and a guide for what could be investigated in the future.
