MARK ALBERT

La novela de Mark Alpert gira entorno a la idea de que Albert Einstein descubrió una teoría del campo unificado, pero escondió el resultado temiendo que pudiera llevar a crear armas más poderosas que la bomba atomica. En nuestros dias, muchos compiten por ser los primeros en descubrir el secreto de Einstein: el gobierno de los Estados Unidos, un mercenario despiadado movido por la venganza y varios cientificos. El fisico Hans Kleinman, que en su dia fur asistente de Einstein es torturado por un intruso que le exige que divulgue la teoria. Dias mas tarde, el profesor universitario David Swift acude al hospital para visitar a Kleinman y este le revela algunas ideas encriptadas, una serie de numeros y finalmente muere. Pronto, David debe correr para proteger su vida y el secreto de Einstein...

Physics lecturer David Swift is summoned to hospital to comfort his dying mentor, a renowned scientist suffering from horrifying wounds. David is shocked when the old man dies after wheezing ''Einheitlichen Feldtheorie'': The Destroyer of Worlds. The Theory of Everything. It was Einstein''s lifetime quest to pin down a unified set of equations, combining physics of stars with the laws of atoms. He died without achieving this goal. Or did he? In the two hours after hearing these words, David''s ex-wife and child are threatened; he''s attacked by a Russian assassin, arrested by the FBI and nearly killed three times. But he''s too busy running for his life to work out what it all means. Teaming up with his ex-girlfriend and an autistic teenager addicted to video games, David must work out what Einstein''s theories could possibly be worth to the powers desperate for them - and if the world is ready for the consquences.

Mark AlpertA Spellbinding Thriller about a Science History Professor on the Run for his Life and an Unpublished Einstein Theory that Could Change the World Debut novelist Mark Alpert brings one of the most explosive books of 2008, seamlessly weaving current issues of science, history, and politics with white-knuckle chases. David Swift, a professor at Columbia University, is called to the hospital to comfort his mentor, a physicist who''s been brutally tortured. Before dying, the old man wheezes "Einheitliche Feldtheorie." The Theory of Everything. The Destroyer of Worlds. Could this be Einstein''s proposed Unified Theory--a set of equations that combines the physics of galaxies with the laws of atoms? Einstein never succeeded in discovering it. Or did he? Within hours of hearing his mentor''s last words, David is running for his life. The FBI and a ruthless mercenary are vying to get their hands on the long-hidden theory. Teaming up with his old girlfriend, a brilliant Princeton scientist, David frantically works out Einstein''s final theory to reveal the staggering scope of its consequences. With publishers around the world snapping up rights in twenty-two countries, the book has already become a global phenomenon, and the dynamic characters and gripping plot will keep readers compulsively turning the pages until the very end.

El término "excéntrico" viene definido como la carga muscular que incorpora una fuerza de aplicación externa con un incremento de tensión durante el estiramiento de la unidad músculo-tendinosa. Las claras distinciones entre el entrenamiento excentrico y los otros modelos de entrenamiento (isotonico, isocinetico, inercial, isodinamico e isometrico) proporcionan las bases para la presentacion de este libro acerca de regimenes y tecnicas especificas del entrenamiento excentrico. Esta edicion, examina el fundamento clinico y cientifico del ejercicio con orientacion excentrica combinando perspectivas de la literatura cientifica, de la importancia funcional y de la experiencia clinica. El libro se centra en los principios y lineas generales que capacitan al especialista en ejercicio para aplicar cargas musculares excentricas de forma segura y efectiva.
