Download or read book Blue Windows written by Barbara Wilson and published by Macmillan + ORM. This book was released on 2014-12-30 with total page 444 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From Mary Baker Eddy, the founder of the Church of Christian Science, to Deepak Chopra, Americans have struggled with the connection between health and happiness. Barbara Wilson was taught by her Christian Scientist family that there was no sickness or evil, and that by maintaining this belief she would be protected. But such beliefs were challenged when Wilson's own mother died of breast cancer after deciding not to seek medical attention, having been driven mad by the contradiction between her religion and her reality. In this perceptive and textured memoir Blue Windows, Wilson surveys the complex history of Christian Science and the role of women in religion and healing.

Book Synopsis Windows to the Brain by : Robin A. Hurley
Download or read book Windows to the Brain written by Robin A. Hurley and published by American Psychiatric Pub. This book was released on 2009-02-20 with total page 266 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Windows to the Brain is the only book to synthesize neuroanatomical and imaging research as it pertains to selected neuropsychiatric diseases, containing all of the "Windows to the Brain" papers published from 1999-2006 in the Journal of Neuropsychiatry and Clinical Neurosciences. These reader-friendly summaries by more than sixty contributors present modern imaging techniques that assist in the diagnosis of neuropsychiatric illness, enhanced by easily understood color graphics of the neuroanatomical circuits of behavior, memory, and emotion. They provide a basic understanding of how to apply a variety of imaging techniques to the study of adult neuropsychiatric disease and how to use neuroimaging to assist in diagnostic work-ups for conditions ranging from sleep disorders to epilepsy to borderline personality. Integrated, color-coded graphics present functional anatomical information in a manner that promotes understanding and use in clinical practice, while the text encompasses a wide range of diseases and injuries across the adult lifespan. The book is organized into four sections that will help readers increase their appreciation of the wide range of research and clinical applications for imaging in neuropsychiatry: chapters on imaging techniques discuss underlying principles, strengths and weaknesses, and applications; chapters on specific diseases demonstrate a range of investigative techniques; anatomy/circuit chapters focus on particular brain structures or functional neuropsychiatric circuits; and final chapters present image-based approaches to understanding or selecting treatment options. Some of the applications described are: Use of fMRI in posttraumatic stress disorder to reveal the delicate balance between the structures of the emotion and memory tracks; Use of high-resolution MRI and nuclear imaging to distinguish between panic disorder and simple partial seizure disorder; Use of functional imaging studies to detect corticobasal degeneration, as a means of better understanding dementia; Use of newer imaging techniques in identifying progressive multifocal leukoencephalopathy, to enable more rapid and reliable tailoring of individual therapy for HIV; Use of functional neuroimaging in the study of fear, in order to better understand and treat anxiety-based psychiatric disorders; Use of neuroimaging studies in conversion disorder, showing implications for the disruption of selfhood in dissociative identity disorder and schizophrenia; Use of FDG-PET scans to look for predictors of treatment response in childhood-onset obsessive-compulsive disorder. Windows to the Brain can help bring less-experienced readers up to speed on advanced imaging and anatomical details that pertain to the modern practice of neuropsychiatry. It is must-reading for specialists in neuropsychiatry and cognitive/behavioral neurology, or for general psychiatrists with an interest in neuroimaging.

Book Synopsis Exploring Mathematics and Science Teachers' Knowledge by : Hamsa Venkat
Download or read book Exploring Mathematics and Science Teachers' Knowledge written by Hamsa Venkat and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2014-05-09 with total page 236 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Globally, mathematics and science education faces three crucial challenges: an increasing need for mathematics and science graduates; a declining enrolment of school graduates into university studies in these disciplines; and the varying quality of school teaching in these areas. Alongside these challenges, internationally more and more non-specialists are teaching mathematics and science at both primary and secondary levels, and research evidence has revealed how gaps and limitations in teachers’ content understandings can lead to classroom practices that present barriers to students’ learning. This book addresses these issues by investigating how teachers’ content knowledge interacts with their pedagogies across diverse contexts and perspectives. This knowledge-practice nexus is examined across mathematics and science teaching, traversing schooling phases and countries, with an emphasis on contexts of disadvantage. These features push the boundaries of research into teachers’ content knowledge. The book’s combination of mathematics and science enriches each discipline for the reader, and contributes to our understandings of student attainment by examining the nature of specialised content knowledge needed for competent teaching within and across the two domains. Exploring Mathematics and Science Teachers’ Knowledge will be key reading for researchers, doctoral students and postgraduates with a focus on Mathematics, Science and teacher knowledge research.
Book Synopsis Direct To Brain Windows, Remote Neuron Reading and Writing and Other Science Big Secrets, Lies, and Mistakes by : Ted Huntington
Download or read book Direct To Brain Windows, Remote Neuron Reading and Writing and Other Science Big Secrets, Lies, and Mistakes written by Ted Huntington and published by Ted Huntington. This book was released on 2012-09 with total page 364 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: If you have to read this book, then you do not get Direct-to-Brain Windows! The first ever tell-all book about Direct-to-Brain Windows. Do you see little semi-transparent windows and videos in front of your eyes? No?! Then you are excluded too! It sounds crazy, but getting video directly to our eyes and ears removes the need to look at a screen or to wear headphones, and is just as safe and harmless. Ted Huntington breaks the silence for the first time in history by telling the public openly and explicitly many secret details about Direct-to-Brain Windows, remote neuron reading, writing, and muscle moving. But perhaps even more importantly, Huntington reveals the truth about many "science" lies, frauds, secrets and mistaken beliefs. It's shocking, vicious, and beyond belief, to realize that many millions secretly see inside houses and heads in windows in front of their eyes, but for centuries, have denied that same benefit to millions of other fine people - not even telling them that such a thing happened long ago in the past. But it's all there, clearly spelled out by many heroic thinkers through the many dark centuries of silence and violence.
Book Synopsis The Magic of Computer Science by : Donald Kossmann
Download or read book The Magic of Computer Science written by Donald Kossmann and published by vdf Hochschulverlag AG. This book was released on 2021-05-10 with total page 128 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: We are living in the era of digital transformation. Computers are rapidly becoming the most important tool for companies, science, society, and indeed our everyday life. We all need a basic understanding of Computer Science to make sense of the world, to make decisions, and to improve our lives. Yet there are many misunderstandings about Computer Science. The reason is that it is a nascent discipline that has evolved rapidly and had to reinvent itself several times over the last 100 years – from the beginnings of scientific computing to the modern era of smartphones and the cloud. This book gives an intuitive introduction to the foundations and main concepts of Computer Science. It describes the basic ideas of solving problems with algorithms, modern data-driven approaches, and artificial intelligence (AI). It also provides many examples that require no background in technology. This book is directed toward teenagers who may wonder whether they should major in Computer Science, though it will also appeal to anyone who wants to immerse themselves in the art of Computer Science and modern information technology. Of course, not everyone must become a computer expert, but everyone should take advantage of and understand the innovations and advances of modern technology.
