Paediatric biomechanics and motor control
by Mark De Ste Croix and Thomas Korff (2012)
About this book
"Paediatric Biomechanics and Motor Control brings together the very latest developmental research using biomechanical measurement and analysis techniques and is the first book to focus on biomechanical aspects of child development. The book is divided into four main sections, looking at biological change during motor development; force production; the biomechanics of postural control and fundamental motor skills, and clinical applications of research into paediatric biomechanics and motor control. Written by a team of leading experts in paediatric exercise science, biomechanics and motor control from the UK, the US, Australia and Europe, the book is designed to highlight the key implications of this work for scientists, educators and clinicians. Each chapter is preceded by a short overview of the relevant biomechanical concepts and concludes with a summary of the practical and clinical applications in relation to the existing literature on the topic. This book is important reading for any sport or exercise scientist, health scientist, physical therapist, sports coach or clinician with an interest in child development or health"--Provided by publisher.

Basic child psychiatry
Philip Barker
Basic Child Psychiatry has once again been rewritten to reflect advances in the field and to ensure that it remains an up-to-date introduction to the subject. Since the publication of the 5th edition, both the 10th edition of the World Health Organization's International Classification of Diseases and the 4th edition of the American Psychiatric Association's Diagnostic and Statistical Manual (DSM-IV) have appeared. Each of these publications proposes a number of changes in the way child and adolescent psychiatric disorders should be classified. These are fully reflected in the book. They are also discussed when the various clinical conditions are described, providing a completely current view of classification issues.
