Content Description

The Bible is one of the most published books in human history. It is also one of the most misquoted, misunderstood and misused books in human history. This happens because people are not always aware that the Bible is not a book, it is a collection of diverse writings. The Bible might even be called an anthology, and it will include everything from poetry to genealogy, pithy sayings to architectural mandates, mythology to letters. Knowing what one is reading helps one understand the ideas in the writings. We read letters in the context of who wrote them and who received them. We read sermons understanding the speaker's perspective may differ from the listener's perspective. So this text is an attempt to give historic, literary, geographical and cultural context to a complex and often poorly understood set of materials. This is very much an ebook, and needs to be used in that format. Pdfs and other printed versions will lose a great deal of the content.

Content Description
-
Humans across the globe and throughout millennia have searched for answers to questions like, "why are we here?" or "what am I supposed to do with my life?"And the answers people have found, or created, or chosen, have varied as widely as the cultures and people themselves. Some people focus on rules. Some focus on afterlives. Some look to become whole. Some seek adventure and learning.So this text, while full of various ways that people have searched and discovered and created, is only touching a few of the bigger traditions in our world. Hopefully each chapter will introduce the reader to some ideas from that specific tradition that enlighten them as to how a specific group of people think, believe, and live. This text is set up to be an ebook. The various videos, links and resources will only really work if the user keeps to the digital format. Read this book on a device or computer--it will be a much more rewarding experience! The translation to a pdf is less than successful, font sizes are erratic, which is not the case in the ebook, unfortunately, and printing this book will make for a very large and cumbersome chunk of paper!

Content Description

Although there are several public health textbooks published, there is a need to have a textbook tailored mainly to undergraduates, and this is that book. Also, this is also an interactive textbook with exercises and applications that help students to apply the content right away and at the moment after they finish reading a section in the textbook. One more thing for this book is that it is free, since it is an OER (Open Educational Resource) textbook.

This OER textbook was written by Flynn, S., Jellum, L., Howard, J., Moser, A., Mathis, D., Collins, C., Henderson, S. & Watjen, C., and updated in 2018. It is a textbook for general Exercise Science/Physical Education classes with chapters covering the components of fitness. In December 2024, Angela Effertz changed the format by condensing and rewriting chapters, updating statistics and tables, as well as adding images. Some chapters of the original OER textbook were omitted in this version.
