It's a bad start to one's career: Alone in a foreign country, broke, homeless, living on borrowed time with an expired visa. That was just the start of one teacher's sojourn through the People's Republic of China. It started in an enclave of the social elite, winding through isolated farming villages before concluding in a burgeoning financial center. And at each stop, a sea of friendly, smiling faces - the smile of a predator longing to tear off a piece for himself. This is the Middle Kingdom, a place where business is savage and nothing is free of its influence - not even education.

"e;What do I strive to contribute through my passion and visions? I want to help make the world make a little more sense. I want to do work as a critic and journalist that helps increase the audience of work that deserves exposure and explain why it deserves exposure. And eventually I want to create artistic work of my own - in the form of fiction or essays - that, in its own way, does the same thing - work that illustrates connections, puts things in context and, ultimately, makes people realize that for all the insane bullshit that's going on out there (and has been going on out there since time immemorial), the world is really a pretty cool place."e; --AJ

Much more goes into a successful strength training program than reps and load. How one thinks, breathes, eats, drinks, and sleeps has just as much impact on a person's vitality as how one moves. Indeed, failing to get the biochemistry right dooms even the best exercise prescription to failure. While most others treat the athlete as though the musculoskeletal system functions as an island. Andrew's approach is Holistic-inclusive of all key systems of the body & mind. Holistic Strength Training for Triathlon will teach the reader what is often neglected in both their pursuit of wellness and their pursuit of a place on the podium.

This wide-ranging study starts with an analysis of the late-medieval church, the book then charts the progress of reform and the impact of the Reformation.
