Throughout human existence people have tried to improve their living conditions by accomplishing their tasks in more efficient and effective ways. This can often be linked to the notion of work but lifelong learning, whilst important in the workplace, affects all parts of our existence. It not only aids us to understand our tasks but also how we fit into a wider society. Without lifelong learning our society, and we as individuals, would stagnate. It is not something that we always do purposively but is a part of being human. We acquire skills and knowledge and then apply them sometimes in unrelated scenarios. Lifelong learning has benefits not just in terms of our work but can also help in terms of socialization. It also has potential health benefits, for example, in terms of enhancing neuroplasticity and aiding in the development of emotional intelligence and empathy for others. We become more confident in what we do as we achieve increased knowledge and understanding through lifelong learning, as can be evidenced in many of the contributions in this edited collection. We all benefit from lifelong learning and have a role to play in both in terms of educating ourselves and a duty to help to educate others in order to create a better society. The contributors and editors hope that this collection can play even a miniscule part in that development and we have certainly been through new experiences that have contributed to our own lifelong learning. **Order the printed version and SAVE 50% on the e-book with Print+eBook.

Physical culture and sport, as a product of certain historical conditions for the development of society, form the sum of the historically revealed results of human spiritual activity. Equestrian games were especially popular among the Turkic peoples of South Siberia, Altai, the ancestral home of all Turkic peoples. The horse formed the mobile basis of the nomadic economy and was the personification of beauty, purity, and speed. A symbolic expression of "traditional" sovereign tribal authority depended on the current ruling political framework having quality horses and equestrian skills. It is easy to conclude that this event is formulated again with another tribe or lineage and that the leadership passes to the tribe in which it was formulated. It is clear that in the nomadic ancient Turkic peoples, equestrian activities were not simply an opportunity to reveal their "natural" fighting instincts or to express them through symbols. They are also carefully structured public organizations organized around societal values with broad moral and political repercussions. This book contains twenty chapters reviewing the cultural significance of a variety of traditional equestrian sports around the world, deeply examining the social impacts of the game and the cultural traditions that arise from them.]]> https://novapublishers.com/shop/the-psychology-of-self-regulation/ Fri, 18 Nov 2022 16:35:41 +0000 https://novapublishers.com/?post_type=product&p=140911 Jorja Dutton (Editor) Series: Psychology of Emotions, Motivations and Actions BISAC: PSY008000 This book contains eight selected chapters discussing the psychology of self-regulation.

Lilienthal, PhD - Professor of Law, President of Carrington Rand, Goulburn, Australia Muhamad Hassan bin Ahmad, PhD - Assistant Professor of Law, IIUM Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia Series: Social Issues, Justice and Status BISAC: LAW036000 DOI: 10.52305/KNYO9191 This book delves into the “mechanics” of the “fit and proper test”, as it functions around the world as de facto Imperial legislation, emanating from Western Europe, and followed without further analysis by systems of governance in East Asia. The meaning of the term “fit and proper”, for assessing people as professionals, in contrast to a well-structured good character test, is insufficiently specific to be used as a set of criteria for admission to a profession. The parties to a “fit and proper” assessment are actually the court and members of the public, with the court making a judgment in its own cause, and without the public ever participating in the assessment. A “fit and proper” assessment suggests a systemic inquiry against the applicant, inferring both bias and inherent public denunciation. Thus, the book contains in-depth research into these topics: The Fit and Proper Person Test: The Theory; The ‘Fit and Proper Person’ in Malaysia and Singapore; The Origin of the Professions; The Fitness and Propriety of Subaltern Groups; Délation of Character; The Stasis of Disrepute; Child Labor and the Subaltern Working Class; Coercive Moral Hazard. As such, this book is a frank and fearless exegesis on the realities of British Imperial regulation of the Professions in East Asia.]]> https://novapublishers.com/shop/domestic-violence-in-the-military/ Thu, 10 Nov 2022 21:49:20 +0000 https://novapublishers.com/?post_type=product&p=142690 Michel Chesnay (Editor) Series: Domestic Violence and Abuse BISAC: SOC051000 In the United States, domestic violence, including intimate partner violence and child abuse, are significant problems that cause immense harm in our society.

Yet, huge disparities remain and improving child survival is still a matter of urgent global concern. However, an emerging success story is that of Eritrea, located in Northeast Africa. Despite limited resources, an extremely difficult regional geopolitical context, and an array of daunting challenges, the young country has achieved remarkable progress on reducing child deaths. Eritrea’s child mortality story has largely gone unrecognized; this book helps to fill the gap. It traces the history of child mortality in the country and unpacks the multifaceted factors that have helped to drive its success. Guided by high-quality research conducted on the ground, presenting a comprehensive review of a wide range of historical and current materials, and full of the latest, up-to-date data, this book contributes greatly to deepening understanding of child mortality and Eritrea. **Order both the printed version and the e-book together and SAVE!**]]> https://novapublishers.com/shop/keeping-our-children-safe-online/ Mon, 24 Oct 2022 20:37:40 +0000 https://novapublishers.com/?post_type=product&p=143260 Joyce B.
