"The sixth edition of Ultimate Back Fitness and Performance provides professionals with the evidence base to design and prescribe the best exercise programs for the back. A complete description of a 5-stage program is provided. Many examples illustrate each stage within a back pain rehabilitation program together with a performance enhancement program for athletes. Beginning with recognizing and re-patterning perturbed motor programs and progressing to the enhancement of stability-mobility, then endurance, the final stages continue with strength, power and agility training. Each step is well illustrated and instructive. Added to this are general approaches to assess the demands of individual activities and sports, and then create a program for the individual to create the optimal performance and injury resiliency."-- Page [4] of cover

Most of the seven thousand languages spoken today are at risk of disappearing in the 21st century. The current rate of language extinction is unprecedented, affecting communities and diminishing the world’s linguistic heritage. This crisis has prompted various responses from linguists; sociolinguists focus on language revitalization, seeking to reverse the shift away from minority languages, while general linguists examine the structural changes languages undergo as they decline. Recently, there has been a heightened emphasis on language documentation, which involves capturing and archiving audiovisual recordings of languages before they vanish. Linguists also grapple with the ethical dilemma of how much non-academic support to provide to the communities they study. The exploration of language endangerment is a relatively new subfield within linguistics, and this four-volume collection represents the first comprehensive effort to compile research from leading scholars over the past sixty years. The editors provide a general introduction outlining the key issues faced by researchers today, while individual volume introductions contextualize the articles. This collection serves as an essential reference for researchers and students interested in language endangerment and related fields.
