Description

Explore the evolution of human wellness with An Illustrated History of Health and Fitness, published by Springer. This volume provides a comprehensive look at how physical activity and health have interacted from pre-history through to our modern era. Starting with primitive hunter-gatherer communities where movement was a requirement for survival, the text tracks the shifts in lifestyle through various stages of civilization. You will learn how the development of medicine and physiology changed our understanding of the body.
