Driven by learning goals, previous editions of this text have been widely adopted for their accurate, complete, and up-to-date coverage. While maintaining these hallmarks, this revision includes increased coverage of adulthood and aging, a new “Interlude” feature on applications, and updated research with more 21st-century citations than ever before.

Aging

Brown & Benchmark Pub

<p>A large number of historical textbooks begin with the desire to create a vehicle for helping students understand the changes that have occurred in a defined area. This text is no exception. We have created a textbook that can be used to explain changes from several perspectives, particularly the way that cultures throughout Western civilization have viewed the relationship of the mind and body.... As a consequence of our approach we do not list all the many sports and playful activities that have been developed since the beginnings of Western civilization... Rather, we try to interpret, explain, and describe much of the development of sport in terms of how past cultures have viewed the human body... We have had much success examining issues in sport and play through the interpretive lens of metaphysics and hope that readers will find this approach as helpful as we have. --- excerpts from Introduction</p>

For readers unfamiliar with the technical elements of music, the text also offers an elegant and readable introduction to the fundamentals of music and is available with a three-CD set of recorded examples.
