Muscle man : a novel / by Castro, Jordan,author.;
"Harold, a middling literature professor at a liberal arts college, lives in a state of dissatisfaction and fear. His colleagues and students evoke nothing but disgust and disdain. None of them understand strength, power, and spiritual actualization like he does. His university's campus--seemingly picturesque--constantly threatens to reveal something sinister. Over the course of a single afternoon, he wanders the halls, sits in meetings, steals from a student, and goesto the gym--all while reflecting on his professional and existential situation. With every line of Harold's frenetic consciousness, hismundane routine transforms into something more foreboding, culminating in an ingenious twist."--

Muscle : the gripping story of strength and movement / by Meals, Roy A.,author.(CARDINAL)836068;
Includes bibliographical references (pages 229-254) and index.Discovery and description -- Molecular magic -- Skeletal muscle -- Smooth muscle -- Cardiac muscle -- Conditioning -- Human culture -- Discomforts and diseases -- Zoological survey -- Other force producers -- Cool down and stretch."Muscle tissue powers every heartbeat, blink, jog, jump, and goose bump. It is the force behind the most critical bodily functions, including digestion and childbirth, as well as extreme feats of athleticism. While most of our organs remain invisible to us, we can mold our muscles with exercise and observe the results. In this eye-opening book, orthopedic surgeon Roy A. Meals takes us on a wide-ranging journey through anatomy, biology, history, and health to unlock the mysteries of our muscles. He illustrates the molecular processes at work when our muscles contract and breaks down the three different types of muscle -- smooth, skeletal, and cardiac -- to reveal their unique and often reflexive functions in our bodies. As informative as it is engaging, Muscle explains the major advancements in medicine, from the development of the EKG machine to muscle transplants and cutting-edge gene-editing research. Meals describes the causes and treatments for common ailments like cramps and strains, as well as rare genetic disorders like muscular dystrophy. He investigates the science behind popular fitness trends, including how resistance training builds our muscles, what it means to "feel the burn," and the varied benefits of stretching, warming up, or cooling down. Along the way, Meals offers insight into the changing aesthetic and cultural conception of muscle, from Michelangelo's David to present-day bodybuilders, and detours into the animal kingdom to discover specialized muscles that control a bird's song or a whale's blowhole. Brimming with fun facts, lucid illustrations, and infectious enthusiasm, Muscle sheds light on the astonishing, essential tissue that moves us through life"--Pages 2-3 of cover
