Esta obra propõe uma nova abordagem para a educação aquática, na qual se aposta a necessidade de mudar e repensar os cenários aquáticos de ensino e desenvolvimento da competência aquática.Por esse motivo, além de desenvolver o conceito de "competência aquática" e descrever sua evolução no nível comportamental, afetivo e cognitivo, apresenta uma maneira concreta de ensiná-lo e avaliá-lo: o Método Aquático Compreensivo. É uma metodologia motivadora que incentiva à ação, que melhora a atenção e o tempo de reação, transfere o que foi aprendido para o contexto social e favorece a regulação das emoções positivas. Está focado no aluno e leva em consideração as diferenças individuais em relação aos fatores metacognitivos-cognitivos, motivacionais- afetivos, evolutivos e sociais. Tudo isso em função de aprender a usar a inteligência para direcionar ativamente a ação de seu comportamento em prol de sua autonomia.Assim descrevemos tanto os comportamentos apropriados e inapropriados como suas consequências, usando termos explícitos e claros. Os alunos são incentivados a buscar metas desafiadoras - mas que estão ao seu alcance - e a regular seu comportamento. O sucesso é considerado em termos de melhoria e não em comparação com outros, o que ocorre como resultado do esforço, este também de formação.Por aprender fazendo, por descobrir por si mesmos os princípios, conceitos, teorias e leis, para o profundo entendimento produzido pelo raciocínio prático, crítico e criativo e pelos efeitos permanentes que pode produzir, este método de ensino pode significar um ponto de inflexão para o leitor comprometido com este trabalho.Juan Antonio Moreno Murcia é Professor Universitário e exerce seu trabalho de ensino e pesquisa na Universidade Miguel Hernandez, em Elche (Espanha). É autor de mais de 10 livros relacionados a atividades aquáticas e presidente da Associação Iberoamericana de Educação Aquática, Especial e Hidroterapia (AIDEA). Luis Miguel Ruiz Pérez é Professor Universitário e exerce seu trabalho de ensino e pesquisa na Universidade Politécnica de Madri (Espanha). É Diretor do Laboratório de comportamento motor e social do esporte da Faculdade de Ciências da Atividade Física e Esporte (INEF) da Universidade Politécnica de Madri e seu campo de pesquisa é a Psicologia do Esporte, Desenvolvimento Motor, Aprendizagem Motora e Desportivo.

For centuries, legumes have been used as pulses or grains serving as the most critical sources of major protein/oil producing crops for both human and animal consumption, and for providing raw materials for industrial processing. They are highly valued as soil building crops, improving soil quality through their beneficial involvement in biological nitrogen fixation, a symbiotic partnership with rhizobia.Advances in Legume Research: Physiological Responses and Genetic Improvement for Stress Resistance serves as a unique source of information on the distinct aspects of basic and applied legume research for general readers, students, academics, and researchers. The book gives several insights on the morphological, physiological, and genetic responses to stresses via 8 concise chapters covering all aspects of legume growth, utilization, and improvement. The included chapters present research findings and succinct reviews concerning the strides continuously made in the improvement of legumes against biotic and abiotic stress factors. This comprehensive new legume reference book disseminates key information pertaining to the genetic diversity, conservation, cultivation, manipulation through mutagenic techniques, plant transformation and other breeding technologies. The book, therefore, continues to build on the need to acquire new knowledge about legume crops and ways to improve their existing agricultural yield for a sustainable and secure food market.
