With a series of eight-week programs,readers will learn to get the whole body working together, restoring the core and regaining pain-free movement to truly live a life without limits.

A sense of fatigue dogs the fitness world. Many of the new programs that are tagged as groundbreaking are actually recycled ideas. Foundation offers something completely different for novices and athletes alike: a simple program with powerful and proven results that will remedy bad posture, alleviate back pain, and help readers break through fitness challenges and plateaus. Dr. Eric Goodman, a brilliant and dynamic young chiropractor, teams up with Peter Park, one of the top trainers in the United States, to radically redefine the core--shifting the focus from the front of the body to the back. Their groundbreaking approach works to strengthen the lower back and the full posterior chain and correct poor movement patterns by addressing mechanical imbalances and weaknesses. Foundation training involves simple movement patterns and is equipment free, creating maximum power, flexibility, and endurance. Word-of-mouth enthusiasm has inspired both Hollywood luminaries and world-class athletes to make Foundation training the core of their fitness programs. Eric and Peter's client list has grown exponentially to include Lance Armstrong, NBA star Derek Fisher, world-champion surfer Kelly Slater, and actor Matthew McConaughey.

Der Gedanke der Haftungsseparation wird als zentrales Motiv der Konzernbildung angesehen. Trotz dieses Schutzmechanismus kommt es immer wieder zu finanziellen Krisen bis hin zum vollstandigen Zusammenbruch von Konzernen. Als Ursache dafur wird im Rahmen dieser Arbeit -konzerninterne Finanzhilfe- identifiziert. Die konzerninternen finanziellen Hilfstransaktionen werden auf ihre Auswirkungen hinsichtlich der Haftungsseparation untersucht. Vor dem Ergebnis, dass konzerninterne Finanzhilfe im nachhinein zu einer Durchbrechung der Haftungsgrenzen im Konzern fuhren kann, wird mit Hilfe eines Agency-theoretischen Modells nach Erklarungen fur Finanzhilfetransaktionen gesucht. Die aufgezeigten Agency-Konflikte ermoglichen letztlich, Losungsansatze fur die -Finanzhilfeproblematik- zu entwickeln."

This volume describes a grass-roots approach to empowering people for democratic social change. It explains participatory research using exemplary case studies on community organizing, feminist theory, and ecological movements from a wide range of locations in North America. The first collection of essays on participatory research in Canada and the United States, the book is an eloquent demonstration that the same approach to social change is needed in industrialized countries as it is in underdeveloped countries. Challenging the relevance and validity of academic social science research, participatory research is an important tool for social activists, community workers, and adult educators working with oppressed peoples.
