Whatever your lifestyle may be reading should be an important part of it. There is literature available on everything you could ever hope to learn about. In fact, you can read up on one other essential lifestyle element: physical exercise. A healthy lifestyle is the trend these days and the most currently popular forms of physical exercise include yoga, running and biking. What fitness workout is best for you? Why not read to find out? And as you read up on the best exercise for you and how to accomplish it, you’ll be exercising your mind as well! Here are a couple of suggestions from our wealth of fitness titles. Hoping to look super fit in your swimming suit or in that knockout outfit you bought for a special event? Having trouble finding time to exercise at all?

review

Yoga has proven to be a favorite among so many as others are just discovering it. I have just the book to inspire you even more to take on those beautiful yoga poses you’ve only dreamt about doing. 2,100 Asanas: The Complete Yoga Poses showcases the human form’s beauty and athleticism. Organized into eight major pose types including standing, seated, core, quadruped, backbends, inversions, prone, and supine, the book inspires you with superb pictures featuring an expert yogi perfectly performing each pose from easiest to more challenging. After reading the information accompanying each picture, which includes the description of the pose’s modification, the chakras affected and the benefits, you’ll have a deeper understanding of exactly why each yoga pose is so worthwhile. Given the humid weather and oftentimes scorching temperatures, you wouldn’t expect Thailand to be caught up in the running craze. But it is. In Shut Up and Run: How to Get Up, Lace Up, and Sweat with Swagger, ultra marathoner and running coach Robin Arzon captures the energy and joy of running. Arzon’s full-color interactive fitness guide and journal inspires beginners to experienced marathoners. There are tricks, anecdotes, stunning visual motivation, and graphic inspirational quotes plus training tips for every level to help address every runner’s body and mind and keep you going. The book covers every running aspect from gear and music to marathon training and post-recovery advice. A practical guide that makes information easy to find, the book demonstrates how running is not just exercise but a lifestyle connecting runners with the world around them. Once you’ve started getting in shape, the obvious next step is to build up to a bigger challenge like a marathon. Or maybe you want to prepare for a marathon for a good cause or to meet other like-minded people. The Complete Running and Marathon Book will help you get a running start with everything from the right footwear to eating right and warming up. Using a distance-specific program you can train not just hard but also right. Proper training is easily achievable thanks to the book’s invaluable tips and tactics on how to obtain a vital competitive edge, detailed visuals to assist you in assessing and developing your technique, and a step-by step guide to pre- and post-run stretches to prevent injury as well as core and resistance training exercises for faster and farther running. No wonder the book is called The Complete Running and Marathon Book! No physical activity discussion would be complete without a look at cycling. In addition to boosting health, cycling is a great way to network, see the sites and avoid getting stuck in traffic! One particularly interesting title on the topic is Anatomy of Cycling. It’s loaded with intricate anatomical drawings depicting the muscles benefitting most from each movement as well as an array of exercises for the muscle groups that cyclists use the most. Starting you off with stretches aimed at increasing your flexibility, the book helps you progress to specially-designed exercise routines for leg and arm strengthening, core building, optimal balance and posture, stamina development and much, much more with step-by-step illustrated instructions. It’s the perfect go-to cycling manual for cycling lovers. We’re leaping to passion in this issue of Share and life today is never complete without a steady exercise regime. There isn’t a moment to spare! Visit Asia Books ASAP to learn and discover more about all the different ways to get the most out of physical activity and make it a truly beneficial part of your lifestyle!

business & management

Leading economist Joseph Stiglitz addresses the euro crisis and how the euro can be saved. He argues that Europe's bleak outlook has resulted from fundamental euro project flaws - economic integration outpacing political integration with a structure promoting divergence rather than convergence. Laying bare the European Central Bank's inflation-only mandate and explaining why austerity has caused unending European stagnation, Stiglitz outlines fundamental structure and policy reform for the eurozone. But insufficient political solidarity suggests these reforms are unlikely to be adopted. Stiglitz thus proposes either a well-managed end to the common currency or a bold, new 'flexible euro' system.

This book offers a complete set of practices for more effective management that makes work fun. Work and fun are not polar opposites; they're two sides of the same coin, and making the workplace a pleasant place to be keeps employees motivated and keeps customers coming back for more.

Western political domination is ending. Easternisation is now the defining trend with growing Asian wealth transforming the international balance of power and shaping lives across the globe, the fate of nations and the questions of war and peace. China is challenging America’s supremacy, and other Asian powers’ ambitions – including Japan’s, North Korea’s, India’s and Pakistan’s – may shake the whole world. The West is struggling with economic malaise and political populism, the Arab world is in turmoil and Russia longs to regain great-power status. Gideon Rachman offers a road map to the turbulent process defining twenty-first-century international politics.

9781760293284 NEUROTRIBES: THE LEGACY OF AUTISM AND HOW TO THINK SMARTER ABOUT PEOPLE WHO THINK DIFFERENTLY By STEVE SILBERMAN Paperback

Is autism a devastating developmental condition, lifelong disability, or naturally occurring cognitive difference akin to genius? It is all these things and more and our future depends on understanding it. Steve Silberman, author of the groundbreaking article 'The Geek Syndrome', unearths autism’s history, long suppressed by the clinicians famous for discovering it, and finds surprising explanations why diagnoses have recently soared. Looking at the earliest autism research and chronicling the brave, lonely journey of autistic individuals, Silberman provides long-sought solutions, casts light on the growing 'neurodiversity' movement and maps out a more humane world for people with learning differences.

This offbeat blend of supernatural fantasy and vintage photography has dominated the YA best-seller lists - and with a Tim Burton adaptation arriving in 2016. As our story opens, a horrific family tragedy sets sixteen-year-old Jacob journeying to a remote island, where he discovers the crumbling ruins of a long-abandoned house - yet still familar house. As Jacob explores its abandoned bedrooms and hallways, it becomes clear that the children were more than just peculiar. They may have been dangerous. They may have been quarantined on a desolate island for a good reason. And somehow - impossible though it seems - they may still be alive.
