Changes in the focus of neurological practice worldwide have led to
the need for new standard texts that reflect the current state of
this expanding area of clinical expertise. The second edition of
the Handbook of Neurological Rehabilitation is a major reference
source that fulfils this need, providing an invaluable resource for
all professions that work with patients suffering from neurological
disorders. It brings restorative neurology to the bedside and shows
how a reiterative, goal-oriented, problem-solving training
programme can benefit patients, sometimes on a scale not achieved
by pharmacological or surgical interventions. The book is divided
into three sections all of which have been updated. Section One
explores the clinical and biological principles underpinning
rehabilitation practice in the context of neurological disablement.
Section Two describes the assessment, treatment, and management of
the major physical, cognitive and behavioural impairments, and the
resulting functional deficits that may follow or accompany
neurological disease. The final section explores in more detail
these problems and their management in relation to the more common
specific disorders of the nervous system. The text emphasises the
fact that rehabilitation is an ongoing process involving
multidisciplinary problem-solving, goal-setting and education; in
which organised care is more effective than unorganised care; and
the breakdown of professional barriers within rehabilitation, to
facilitate the use of combined treatment techniques, improves
outcome. It describes the contribution made by neural
reorganisation and compensatory mechanisms to recovery of function,
focuses on the avoidance of secondary deficit, and explores the
physical, cognitive, affective and behavioural problems that may
occur after neurological damage. At a time when new medical
technologies threaten to fragment the integrity of medical care at
individual and societal levels, it is crucial that all those
involved in the management of chronic neurological disease have a
working knowledge of the contents of this book. Their perspective
on clinical practice will then be truly integrated and holistic and
their patients will benefit accordingly.
This is a basic, short guide that helps students make the
transition to writing at college or university as simple as
possible, providing them with the basic skills they need to write
in an effective academic style. The authors draw on their own work
to demystify the academic writing process that many students, in
all disciplines, find daunting. By understanding exactly what
obstacles students face when approaching writing at university they
offer proven advice that is simple, uncomplicated and easily
achievable. Clear and accessible, this book gives students
step-by-step advice to overcome the main hurdles. It covers:
overcoming apprehension - then making sure you know exactly what
you are supposed to do planning reading - managing your time and
keeping your focus, helping you get the material that needs to be
in your work getting organised - you are ready to write the first
draft, take a break and finally come back and edit it. Jargon-free,
the book helps students at all levels of higher education to write
clearly and persuasively, expressing both opinions and findings.

This book traces the rise of the political dynasty in the Middle
East and, in the process, provides the context for the current Arab
uprising. The author shows that a father-to-son transfer of power
has no basis in Islam, and yet the idea of dynastic power became
entrenched in the Middle East.

The method of sorting is a flexible, easily-used (and enjoyable) technique well suited to exploring and mapping conceptual domains, to the study of subjective or folk-classifications, and to comparing existing classifications one with another. Originating in linguistics and psychology, sorting methods (also known as "own categories", and "pile-sorting") have diffused to a wide range of other social sciences. This book provides the first systematic introduction to the method of sorting and draws material from new and widely-scattered sources. It covers the collection and analysis of data, using free-sorting as the main focus, but includes other variants. Methods are provided for describing and comparing sortings, drawing on recent developments in partition theory and combinational analysis and for measuring their similarity. Appropriate methods are presented for the representation of both individual sortings and of the objects themselves: multidimensional scaling, correspondence analysis, and clustering techniques. Applications and available software are covered.
