    Within the field of mathematics teacher (PST) education, a profound challenge echoes—the persistent gap between theoretical understanding and practical application. This lingering divide raises a critical concern, one that finds its focus in the exploration of transformative tools known as approximations of practice. These tools aim to provide a realistic and contextualized environment for PSTs to cultivate their teaching skills. However, the broader, often overlooked issue permeating this educational terrain is the question of equity in mathematics instruction—an issue that this book endeavors to unravel and reshape, positioning equity at the forefront of pedagogical considerations. Promoting Equity in Approximations of Practice for Mathematics Teachers, a compelling work that not only delves into the transformative role of approximations but also champions equity as a cornerstone in reshaping the landscape of mathematics education.

    This groundbreaking work has a dual objective—firstly, to furnish mathematics teacher educators and researchers with a comprehensive overview of the current landscape of approximations in mathematics education. It moves beyond a mere survey, encouraging readers to critically analyze frameworks and design choices that either foreground or dismiss equity in these pedagogical spaces. Divided into three sections, the book delves into the spectrum of work characterizing approximations in mathematics teacher education. The first section surveys diverse approaches, acknowledging the current lack of focus on equity. The second section critically examines the intersection of equity and approximations, fostering collaborations between experts in mathematics education and equity-focused researchers. The third section takes a forward-looking stance, envisioning the future of equity-focused approximations in mathematics education.

  • Exercise Physiology for Cardiopulmonary Rehabilitation by Stanley Brown

    Exercise Physiology for Cardiopulmonary Rehabilitation

    Stanley Brown

    Exercise is widely recognized for its importance as a preventive and rehabilitative health measure. Even so, the prevalence of diseases due to poor lifestyle choices is high. These statements speak volumes about the contradiction that exists between our state of knowledge regarding preventive health and the general behavior of the populace. As an academic discipline, exercise physiology is concerned with two general goals: using exercise as a research tool to explore physiological responses and adaptations and using physiological measurements to understand the stress of exercise. These general goals establish the boundaries around which scientists explore the physiology of exercise from different vantage points. This publication examines all these aspects of exercise physiology and more! Including a case study on cardiopulmonary rehabilitation.

  • Exercise Electrocardiography by Stanley Brown, Leeann Joe, and Cameron Huxford

    Exercise Electrocardiography

    Stanley Brown, Leeann Joe, and Cameron Huxford

    An electrocardiogram (ECG) is a test to evaluate the heart. Surface electrodes, placed on the chest and torso, collect electrical currents propagated by the heart to the surface of the body. These currents are translated into the ECG waveform by the electrocardiograph. The ECG is then interpreted by a trained diagnostician. It is essential that students of clinical exercise physiology be able to use and interpret the ECG in medical settings. In this regard, clinical exercise physiology students usually take one course in either their undergraduate or graduate education. The course is presented as a comprehensive survey to give them the basic abilities needed to pass certification exams. This text and the course it is meant to accompany addresses the needs of the exercise physiologist working in a clinical setting and highlights static interpretation of rhythm strips and 12-lead ECGs. It includes traditional basic ECG, arrhythmia, myocardial infarction and all the other basic concepts provided through an easy-to-read approach on cardiac physiology and pathophysiology, cardiovascular testing procedures, cardiac pharmacology, and structural heart disease. Case studies are liberally spread throughout the text to present real-world scenarios for application of the knowledge gained. The text also presents the following:

    • Practice strips to evaluate the ECGs
    • Includes learning objectives and a glossary of key terms
    • Instructor resources include PowerPoint presentations and a test bank

  • Fundamentals of Kinesiology (4th ed.) by Stanley Brown

    Fundamentals of Kinesiology (4th ed.)

    Stanley Brown

    Movement is a fundamental characteristic of life. Understanding the meaning of movement in the full context of human endeavor is central to improving the quality of human experience, of life itself. Fundamentals of Kinesiology showcases the transdisciplinary nature of the academic field of study centered on movement, physical activity and sport. Three major sections of the book provide a comprehensive treatment of this diverse academic field through detailed studies of the many disciplines and professions constituting kinesiology. In Part I of the text, kinesiology is explored from historical/cultural and professional standpoints. The chapters of Part Two then provide descriptions of each of the major disciplines of kinesiology. Here students are introduced to the foundational sciences comprising each discipline. This part serves as a lead up to Part Three of the text which focuses on the professions centering on the practice of movement, physical activity, sport and exercise. Chapter 28 wraps up the text with a discussion of where kinesiology might be headed in the not too distant future. The text serves academic courses designed to introduce students of kinesiology, exercise science, sport studies, physical education, or whatever moniker is in current vogue in colleges and universities.
