THE GROUNDBREAKING, FORMATIVE WORK IN SPATIAL EPIDEMIOLOGY -- NOW UPDATED FOR A NEW GENERATION OF RESEARCH AND PRACTICE IN PUBLIC HEALTHIn 2003, Neighborhoods and Health codified the idea that a neighborhood's social and physical makeup can influence the health of people who live in it. More than a decade later, with the relationship between place and health firmly entrenched at the center of how we understand public health (and as its own scientific discipline, spatial epidemiology), this second edition of the landmark text offers another giant leap forward for the field.Offering both a synthesis of the essential research and a practical overview of the methods used to garner it, the second edition of Neighborhoods and Health is the essential guide to understanding this core component of contemporary population health -- both the journey to date and what's next. - Inbunden, Engelska, 2019

AN ESSENTIAL NEW RESOURCE ON A FUNDAMENTAL DETERMINANT OF HEALTHSleep, along with the sleep-related behaviors that impact sleep quality, have emerged as significant determinants of health and well-being across populations. An emerging body of research has confirmed that sleep is strongly socially patterned, following trends along lines of socioeconomic status, race, immigration status, age, work, and geography.The Social Epidemiology of Sleep serves as both an introduction to sleep epidemiology and a synthesis of the most important and exciting research to date, including:· An introduction to sleep epidemiology, including methods of assessment and their validity, the descriptive epidemiology of sleep patterns and disorders, associations with health, and basic biology· What we know about the variation of sleep patterns and disorders across populations, including consideration of sleep across the lifespan and within special populations· Major social determinants of sleep (including socioeconomic status, immigration status, neighborhood contexts, and others) based on the accumulated research With editors from both population science and medicine, combined with contributions from psychology, sociology, demography, geography, social epidemiology, and medicine, this text codifies a new field at the intersection of how we sleep and the social and behavioral factors that influence it. - Häftad, Engelska, 1999

Management: Ideas and Actions is an integrative text, covering basic concepts of management theory that are often presented at the introductory level. It argues that there are a series of recurring themes in management that have survived the tests of time and practice. Illustrations are provided of how the themes that were introduced in the earlier periods of management thought are practised in today's organizations. Lessons are provided for today's managers with prescriptions for management action. - Häftad, Engelska, 1999

To generate coherent behaviour, the brain needs to attend selectively to the many objects that are present in the environment, but this poses several questions. How does the brain know which objects 'belong together'? How does the information from different senses get combined? How does this help to plan and carry out actions? The subject of attentional mechanisms has a long history in cognitive psychology, as it is the key to making sense of the visual world. However, new developments in cognitive neuroscience, and greater understanding of how attention and action are integrated, have transformed the field. This book is the first to bring together leading researchers to discuss the convergence of experimental findings in the following areas: Visual selective attention Attention and perceptual integration Spatial representation and attention Visual attention and action Control of attention Attention, Space, and Action provides a unique combination of perspectives that will appeal to students and researchers from psychology, neuropsychology, neurophysiology, and neuroanatomy. - Häftad, Engelska, 2008

This book, a study of the principal appellate court in the English civil law hierarchy, the High Court of Delegates, examines the history, jurisdiction, procedure, personnel and records of the court from the mid-sixteenth century until its abolition in 1832. In an introductory historical survey, the author considers the earlier provisions for civil law appeal, the circumstances surrounding the creation of the Court of Delegates, and its history from the mid-sixteenth century until 1832. After a general discussion of the jurisdiction of the court, Dr Duncan goes on to a detailed discussion of several jurisdictional problems: in particular he deals with the relationship between the Court of Delegates and certain other Judicial bodies, and with the extent of the Court's original jurisdiction. He devotes two chapters to commissions of delegacy and commissions of review, analysing the rules which governed the right of a party to appeal to the Court of Delegates, and also to appeal from a decision of that Court. The central portion of the book is devoted to procedure: the various stages through which an appeal passed are set out in detail, and particular attention is paid to the taking of evidence. - Häftad, Engelska, 1983

In past decades, democratic theory has been on the defensive, largely as a result of the disappointments of democratic practice. The essays in this volume reflect critically on the theory in the light of those failures and with the corresponding assumption of an indissoluble connection between theory and practice. If theory maintains a monastic impeccability, untouched by the world, it will be sterile and fit merely for arid disputes. Nor can practice stand alone: it varies and changes and is subject to different interpretations. Success will come to it partly through the impact of empirical and prescriptive analysis. The volume is organised in sections, dealing in turn with the changing meanings and evaluations of democracy with classical theories with the revisions and critiques of these theories deriving from existing circumstances and with attempts to extend and to consolidate more adequate and secure theories of democracy. Among the thinkers considered are Mill, de Tocqueville, Marx and Marcuse, while the topics include bureaucracy, feminism, corporatism and social democracy. Together the essays will provide comprehensive review of the past condition and future prospects for democratic theory in practice. - Del 46 - Society for Experimental Biology Seminar Series

The cellular events underlying rapid cellular damage in different organs are potentially of great medical importance, for example muscular dystrophy, liver damage and the preservation of kidneys for transplantation. Many hypotheses exist for the biochemical pathways involved in these damage processes. The roles of calcium and active oxygen metabolites are of particular interest. There is considerable literature on both these triggering agents and good evidence for their involvement in the genesis of damage, although little agreement on their precise roles. This volume records the proceedings of a meeting held by the Society for Experimental Biology that attempted to determine whether there are common mechanisms of cellular damage and to explore the ways in which calcium and oxygen radicals may interact to generate damage. The questions addressed, in particular, are whether there are any common biochemical pathways, and the specific and possibly interacting roles of calcium and active oxygen metabolites. - Inbunden, Engelska, 2003

The novelist William Dean Howells described autobiography as the most democratic of American literary genres. Autobiography has offered a voice to women, African Americans, Native Americans, and others whose writings have often been excluded from the literary canon. The men and women presented here observed, shaped, or participated in many of the most exciting and important events of American history. First Person Past lets them speak for themselves. From the hundreds of American autobiographies, the editors have chosen twelve for each of Volumes I and II of First Person Past because they are interesting history and good literature. Their literary and historical virtues have been preserved as edited for inclusion in each volume. - Del 1 - Night Blood Chronicles

Som högpresterande entreprenör trodde Shannon Duncan att pengar och framgång var vägen till lyckan. Men efter att i 30-årsåldern ha dragit sig tillbaka som mångmiljonär, insåg han att lyckan faktisk stod att finna någon helt annanstans. Efter några djupgående upplevelser kom han till insikt om att vad han egentligen sökte var att känna sig fridfull inombords och att kunna ge något meningsfullt tillbaka. När han förstått vad som inte gav honom sinnesfrid började han bli mer klar över vad som verkligen fungerar, bara han tillät sig att ge sig hän åt det. Bli ett med nuet ger oss praktiska och realistiska förslag på vad man kan göra för att leva i nuet. Den är fylld av enkla och lättillgängliga anekdoter och övningar som gör att läsaren kan lämna bakom sig känslomässig barlast, stilla sin oro för framtiden och börja uppskatta och känna den livsglädje som bara står att finna i nuets ögonblick. Genom en mängd enkla och upplysande idéer visar Shannon Duncan hur vi kan upptäcka de verkliga orsakerna till stress och missnöje och hur vi kan vända styrande känslor till att de blir rådgivande för oss. Därmed kan vi börja njuta av livet här och nu på riktigt. "Buddha lärde oss att ett fullt medvetet ögonblick är ett ögonblick fyllt av frihet och upplysning. Bli ett med nuet ger oss tydliga och användbara verktyg med praktiska övningar som hjälper oss att reflektera över hur vi kan komma i kontakt med det öppnade hjärta och sinne som bor djupt inom oss alla." Lama Surya Das, författare till Awakening the Buddha Within Shannon Duncan var tidigare entreprenör och har lämnat sitt framgångrika företag bakom sig för att kunna leva ett mer fridfullt och meningsfullt liv, där han odlar förmågan att vara mer i nuet och lära andra att göra detsamma. Han bor i San Diego, Kalifornien tillsammans med sin dotter. Läs mer på hemsidan: www.pmasystem.com
