Projectile Dynamics in Sport: Principles and Applications

<ul>
<li>How can we predict the trajectory of a baseball from bat to outfield?</li> <li>How do the dimples in a golf ball influence its flight from tee to pin? </li> <li>What forces determine the path of a soccer ball steered over a defensive wall by an elite player? </li>
</ul>
An understanding of the physical processes involved in throwing, hitting, firing and releasing sporting projectiles is essential for a full understanding of the science that underpins sport. This is the first book to comprehensively examine those processes and to explain the factors governing the trajectories of sporting projectiles once they are set in motion. From a serve in tennis to the flight of a ’human projectile’ over a high jump bar, this book explains the universal physical and mathematical principles governing movement in sport, and then shows how those principles are applied in specific sporting contexts. Divided into two sections, addressing theory and application respectively, the book explores key concepts such as: <ul>
<li>friction, spin, drag, impact and bounce</li> <li>computer and mathematical modelling</li> <li>variable sensitivity</li> <li>the design of sports equipment</li> <li>materials science.</li>
</ul>
Richly illustrated throughout, and containing a wealth of research data as well as worked equations and examples, this book is essential reading for all serious students of sports biomechanics, sports engineering, sports technology, sports equipment design and sports performance analysis.

This book accounts for the divergence, not conventionally by emphasising the political differences, but by highlighting a longer, more gradual process of interaction between physical human environments.

A director at the Royal Naval Museum and well known on television as an authority on the famous British admiral, White tells the tale of two battles that played a key role in shaping Nelson's character and style as a leader. At Cape St. Vincent in February he defeated the Spanish soundly and came to public attention. At Santa Cruz in July he lost both the battle and an arm. Annotation c.

1797: Nelson's Year of Destiny

History

Military

Horatio Nelson was one of the most successful leaders Britain has ever produced. A legend in his own lifetime, he has inspired many hundreds of books. But few of these have concentrated on him as a naval commander - indeed the last major such study was published over thirty years ago. 
Since then much new material has emerged, both as a result of the Nelson Letters Project and in a series of international conferences on Nelson's battles involving French, Spanish and Danish historians. In particular, the discovery of Nelson's personal order books and battle plans have transformed our understanding of his command methods.
Colin White has been at the forefront of all these developments and has made many of the most exciting new discoveries himself. He is therefore ideally placed to offer a fresh analysis of Nelson's tactics and leadership style.
White presents new narratives of all three of Nelson's great battles, the Nile (1798), Copenhagen (1801) and Trafalgar (1805). He shows how the British triumph at Trafalgar was the culmination of years of thought and experimentation on Nelson's part, and by his contemporaries and predecessors. He also uses the new material to demonstrate Nelson's remarkable administrative skills, and his abilities as a diplomat and intelligence officer - aspects of his leadership that have not been fully highlighted before.
The result is a different portrait of Nelson as an admiral - more rounded and more insightful than any yet achieved.
Officially endorsed by the Royal Navy and the Royal Naval Museum, the book is illustrated in colour and black and white with over seventy images drawn from the collections of the Royal Naval Museum and National Maritime Museum, and with specially drawn diagrams illustrating Nelson's battles and campaigns.
