Contemporary
Kinesiology
by John M. Charles, 2002.
ISBN 1-58874-129-X
List Price $29.80 |
This new second edition is a seminal introduction to kinesiology because
it is both contemporary and futuristic. While the first edition was
the first introductory text to implement the 1989 decision of the American
Academy of Physical Eduction to make "kinesiology" the one normally recognized
descriptor for academic study of human movement. The second edition
1) responds to the recent concerns about fragmentation of the field through
overspecialization and 2) places the study of human movement on a historical
continuum from the traditions of the past into the future.
In today's marketplace, this is a qualitatively different text with
a broad cross-disciplinary scope and professional mission.

| ISBN 1-58874-122-2 |

This book presents and represents the human side
of movement study. As introductory texts become increasingly empirical

not only a framework for critical thinking, but it also involves the reader
in the process. Unlike many books writtten for use in a class setting,
this one should not be discarded when the class is over. Although
the ideas may be presented in a class setting, they provide a framework
for life.
