Description - Dexterity and its Development by Nicholai A. Bernstein

Nicholai Aleksandrovich Bernstein is considered by many to be the founder of many contemporary fields of science such as biomechanics, motor control, and physiology of activity. Divided into two parts, this volume's first section is a translation of the Russian book "On Dexterity and Its Development". It presents, in a very reader-friendly style, Bernstein's major ideas related to the development and control of voluntary movements in general, and to the notion of dexterity, in particular. The second section provides both an historical and a contemporary perspective on Bernstein's ideas. The chapters contributed by contemporary scientists mirror Bernstein's style and present contemporary findings in the areas of biomechanics, motor control and motor development in a way that would be both understandable to non-specialists in these areas, and informative for professionals working in different areas related to human movement.
