Sport is undergoing a global technological revolution. Year on year, records are smashed, equipment gets more sophisticated, facilities improve almost beyond recognition. These changes are impacting on all areas of sport, from shoes to cycles and stadia. Is this making sport more exciting for participants and spectators? Or are talent and determination becoming secondary to money and technology, devaluing honest competition? In Higher, Further, Faster…, Stewart Ross looks at these questions and much more. Starting with a description of technology's impact on elements common to various sports, such as bats, balls, pitches and special clothing, he then examines the controversies that arise almost daily, from golf club technology to the use of Hawk-eye in tennis. He also looks ahead to the techno-future of major sports such as football, tennis, golf, cricket, cycling and motor sport, and asks where they are going: Are referees and umpires becoming redundant? If drugs will always win, do we really have a choice about using them? Will we ever see a Super-Human Olympics? Is modern professional sport more about technology than talent? Can athletes from the developing world ever hope to compete in modern sport? This book is a must-read for all participants and fans who want to understand the technological upheaval that is shaking modern sport to its very foundations. One thing's for sure: whether you find it stimulating or just plain scary, the future will be very, very different… About the author Stewart Ross is a full-time writer with some 200 published titles to his credit. He is also an occasional journalist and broadcaster, a frequent lecturer, notably on the QE2 and at ICES (La Roche sur Yon, France, where he lectures to science students), and a much sought-after presenter of workshops to schools and adult groups. www.stewartross.net

Eine Einf?hrung in die physikalischen Grundlagen des Segelsports f?r die an Naturwissenschaften interessierten Segler, die schon immer wissen wollten, wie Segeln tats?chlich funktioniert. »Physik des Segelns« f?hrt zun?chst in die einfachen Grunds?tze und Bedingungen des Segelns ein, wie beispielsweise das Kr?ftegleichgewicht w?hrend der Fahrt. Anschlie?end wird aus den Eigenschaften von Luft und Wasser und den dynamischen Grundgleichungen das Entstehen dieser Kr?fte dargelegt. Das Buch r?umt mit verbreiteten falschen Vorstellungen auf und schreitet systematisch von der Betrachtung zweidimensionaler Ph?nomene zu dreidimensionalen Ph?nomenen voran. Von Erscheinungen innerhalb der Medien Luft und Wasser geht es weiter zu den Erscheinungen an ihrer Grenzfl ?che, den Schwerewellen des Wassers und dem damit verbundenen Widerstand. Mit der Kenntnis aller Beitr?ge zur Vortriebsleistung wird erl?utert, wie sie aufeinander abgestimmt werden m?ssen, um ein optimales Segeltempo zu erreichen. Abschlie?end werden zeitlich ver?nderliche Ph?nomene wie Man?ver und das Arbeiten des Bootes im Seegang betrachtet, und die Materialfestigkeit von Takelage und Rumpf diskutiert.

Mitrei?ende Duelle, das Auf und Ab eines zwei Tage dauerndes Wettkampfes – und ganz am Ende der 1500-m-Lauf, in dem Zehnk?mpfer nochmals Alles bis zur v?lligen Ersch?pfung geben: das »Faszinosum Zehnkampf« reicht in seiner Bedeutung weit ?ber das rein Sportliche hinaus. Neben den Highlights von Zehnk?mpfen werden Motivation, Training, Werdegang und nicht zuletzt die R?ckschl?ge der »K?nige der Athleten« beschrieben. Der evangelische Theologe und fr?here Leichtathlet Herbert D?ring verfolgt die Zehnkampfszene seit vielen Jahren und schildert auch eigene Eindr?cke und Beobachtungen als Zuschauer vor Ort.
