Steve Fuller has a reputation for setting the terms of debate within science and technology studies. In his latest book, New Frontiers in Science and Technology Studies he charts the debates likely to be of relevance in the coming years.
*Should science and technology be treated as separate entities?*What impact has globalization had on science and technology? *Can science be clearly distinguished from other forms of knowledge? *Does the politicization of science really matter?
*Is there a role for the social regulation of scientific inquiry?
*Should we be worried about research fraud?
These questions are explored by examining an array of historical, philosophical and contemporary sources. Attention is paid, for example, to the Bruno Latour's The Politics of Nature as a model for science policy, as well as the global controversy surrounding Bjorn Lomborg's The Sceptical Environmentalist, which led to the dismantling and re-establishment of the Danish national research ethics board.
New Frontiers in Science and Technology Studies will appeal strongly to scholars and advanced undergraduate and graduate students in courses concerned with the social dimensions of science and technology, and anyone who cares about the future of science.

The only pathology textbook written specifically for physical therapy, this edition continues to provide practical and easy access to information on specific diseases and conditions as they relate to physical therapy practice. Coverage includes guidelines, precautions, and contraindications for interventions with patients who have musculoskeletal or neuromuscular problems, as well as other medical conditions such as diabetes or heart disease. Logically organized content offers at-a-glance access to essential information on common illnesses, diseases, adverse drug effects, organ transplantation, laboratory values, and more to ensure the most reliable and effective physical therapy for patients. Up-to-date coverage with contributions from more than 100 content experts in pathology and physical therapy. Revised content throughout provides the most current information required to be an effective practitioner. Full-color interior design, photos, and illustrations visually reinforce key concepts. A Therapist's Thoughts offers personal and clinical insights from experienced therapists specializing in cancer, diabetes, cystic fibrosis, women's health, lymphedema, psychological problems, and much more. Special Implications for the Therapist boxes provide information and ideas to consider when formulating a plan of care that addresses precautions, contraindications, and best practice specific to physical therapy. Current information on conditions, medical testing and treatment, and practice models keeps students up to date on the latest research findings and recent changes in the field. Key information presented in an at-a-glance format is organized by body system for easy reference. Basic science information addresses the clinical implications of disease within the rehabilitation process, covering common illnesses and diseases, adverse effects of drugs, organ transplantation, laboratory values, and much more. Coverage includes updated information on standard precautions. Separate chapter addresses laboratory tests and values that are important in physical therapy practice. Separate appendix provides guidelines for activity and exercise. A focus on health promotion and disease prevention is featured throughout the text. NEW! Enhanced eBook version is included with print purchase, which allows students to access all of the text, figures, and references from the book on a variety of devices. NEW! Completely reconfigured introductory chapters recognize how much physical consequences of trauma, social isolation, and psychiatric disorders affect recovery from pathology, and how integration of self-regulation into intervention is key to the future of practice. NEW! Expanded content on the role of epigenetics in optimizing exercise-based interventions (a concept referred to as "precision physical therapy") addresses its increasing importance in physical rehabilitation management as it relates to pathology, individual diseases, risk factors, and patient responses to physical therapy interventions. NEW! Coverage of the latest discoveries and findings in the science of quantum physics, mind-body connection, and consciousness-based energy medicine. NEW! Information on genomics and regenerative medicine as they relate to physical therapy practice. NEW! Helpful references and additional boxes/tables are available in the eBook. UPDATED! Evidence-based content with more than 7,000 references ensures content is current and applicable for today's physical therapists and physical therapist students.

The Safari Companion has become a Chelsea Green best seller and paved the way for the company's entry into the exciting world of eco-travel. Here's a new edition, revised and expanded, of the definitive guide to watching the behavior or African mammals.

New chapters include:
-- Social and Mating Systems of African Mammals. This chapter defines and explains the various forms by which researchers have described animal social organization. Contains concise and orderly tables that help with the understanding of most basic behaviors.
-- An Animal Behavior Primer. This section describes behaviors in categories and sub-categories, making for quick field reference.

The Safari Companion is an indispensible tool for safari travelers to Africa or zoo-lovers anywhere. It will help expert and neophyte better understand the lives and interactions of the animals they observe.

Richared D. Estes has led wildlife-viewing safaris in Africa for many years, and is one of the world's foremost experts on the social ecology of African mammals. Dr. Estes is an Associate Professor of Mammalogy at the Museum of Comparative Zoology at Harvard University and the chairman of the World Conservation Union's Antelope Specialists' Group. He lives in Peterborough, New Hampshire.

High-speed, reliable connectivity for next-generation system design

Providing a detailed description of RapidIO applications in several types of system, "RapidIO: The Embedded System Interconnect" is the first comprehensive reference on the RapidIO interconnect technology. RapidIO was developed specifically to achieve high-performance, low-cost, reliable and scalable system connectivity in embedded, networking, and communications devices. This book presents the motivations for RapidIO and describes how it compares with other interconnect technologies.

Written by one of the founders of the RapidIO Trade Association, this unique resource: Presents an introductory section detailing the history of the RapidIO technology Provides a practical guide for all of the RapidIO logical layer protocols, network, link and physical layer technologies Discusses the usage of RapidIO in embedded systems such as enterprise storage and wireless infrastructure Illustrates newly defined technologies such as the RapidFabric dataplane extensions Describes case studies of RapidIO usage in real system architectures Evaluates the programming models associated with RapidIO Reviews related mechanical standards such as the VME Switched Serial Extensions and the PICMG Advanced Telecommunications Architecture (ATCA) standards.

"RapidIO: The Embedded System Interconnect" is an essential tool for professionals involved in the development of large-scale, high-performance embedded networking, communications and related equipment. With accessible contributions from industry leaders, this book also serves as an excellent reference for common RapidIO packet and symbol formats, register file definitions and systemsoftware application programming interfaces.
