Originally published in 1978, the contributors to this volume,
including the leading figures in experimental psychopathology, were
largely concerned with deducing the behaviour of schizophrenics
from general psychological theories of language, learning and
cognition. Their emphasis on deduction reflected a modern reliance
on laboratory experimentation, and, taken as a whole, the chapters
cover the breadth and variety of current approaches of the time to
the study of schizophrenic language and cognition. The first part
of the volume is concerned with recent developments in the study of
schizophrenic language. The second part deals with various aspects
of schizophrenic cognition. The final chapter, by the editor,
attempts to review and integrate what was currently known about
schizophrenic cognition and language. This chapter contrasts the
various experimental methodologies used to validate theories by
pointing out areas of agreement and disagreement as well as
possible directions for future theory and research. Here is a book
that at the time presented the most up-to-date overview available
on language and thought in schizophrenia. Today it can be read and
enjoyed in its historical context.

Decision making is the physician's major activity. Every day, in
doctors' offices throughout the world, patients describe their
symptoms and com plaints while doctors perform examinations, order
tests, and, on the basis of these data, decide what is wrong and
what should be done. Although the process may appear routine-even
to the physicians in volved-each step in the sequence requires
skilled clinical judgment. Physicians must decide: which symptoms
are important, whether any laboratory tests should be done, how the
various items of clinical data should be combined, and, finally,
which of several treatments (including doing nothing) is indicated.
Although much of the information used in clinical decision making
is objective, the physician's values (a belief that pain relief is
more important than potential addiction to pain-killing drugs, for
example) and subjectivity are as much a part of the clinical
process as the objective findings of laboratory tests. In recent
years, both physicians and psychologists have come to realize that
patient management decisions are not only subjective but also prob
abilistic (although this is not always acknowledged overtly). When
doc tors argue that an operation is fairly safe because it has a
mortality rate of only 1 %, they are at least implicitly admitting
that the outcome of their decision is based on probability."
When the stream of plasma emitted from the Sun (the solar wind)
encounters Earth's magnetic field, it slows down and flows around
it, leaving behind a cavity, the magnetosphere. The magnetopause is
the surface that separates the solar wind on the outside from the
Earth's magnetic field on the inside. Because the solar wind moves
at supersonic speed, a bow shock must form ahead of the
magnetopause that acts to slow the solar wind to subsonic speeds.
Magnetopause, bow shock and their environs are rich in exciting
processes in collisionless plasmas, such as shock formation,
magnetic reconnection, particle acceleration and wave-particle
interactions. They are interesting in their own right, as part of
Earth's environment, but also because they are prototypes of
similar structures and phenomena that are ubiquitous in the
universe, having the unique advantage that they are accessible to
in situ measurements. The boundaries of the magnetosphere have been
the target of direct in-situ measurements since the beginning of
the space age. But because they are constantly moving, changing
their orientation, and undergoing evolution, the interpretation of
single-spacecraft measurements has been plagued by the fundamental
inability of a single observer to unambiguously distinguish spatial
from temporal changes. The boundaries are thus a prime target for
the study by a closely spaced fleet of spacecraft. Thus the Cluster
mission, with its four spacecraft in a three-dimensional
configuration at variable separation distances, represents a giant
step forward. This 20th volume of the ISSI Space Science Series
represents the first synthesis of the exciting new results obtained
in the first few years of the Cluster mission.
Schwartz settles across the southwest to shed light on souls who,
despite all odds, are still looking for meaning.
The acclaimed introductory text to geometrical and visual optics
--- now in full color Geometrical and Visual Optics, Third Edition
is a rigorous, yet approachable text that expertly combines basic
optics with clinical application in a way that brings key optometry
topics to life. It is meant to be a concise and user-friendly
resource for clinicians as they begin their study of optics, and as
they eventually prepare for licensing examinations. The book
emphasizes optical concepts and problem-solving skills that
underlie contemporary clinical eye care, and because of its
clinical utility, a vergence approach is stressed. FEATURES: *3
complete practice exams, totaling 122 questions *200+
end-of-chapter self-assessment problems with detailed worked-out
solutions*Full-color figures and clinical highlights*Learning
Objectives appear at the beginning of each chapter*Color
highlighted summaries, sample problems, and tables*Summary and list
of formulas appear at the end of each chapter*NEW CHAPTER on lens
thickness; and prism coverage has been expanded to include vertical
imbalance*In-depth coverage of geometrical and visual optics spans
the full spectrum of topics, from refraction at spherical surfaces,
to thin and thick lenses, to depth of field, ametropia,
magnification, retinal image size, and reflection*Primary emphasis
is on core concepts, with a minimum of formulas and superfluous
mathematics
Teaches the fundamentals of physics to computer scientists,
electrical and electronic engineers. The presentation is directed
toward understanding the fundamental physics of how a computer
works, while still providing a broad and effective one-year
introduction to classical and modern physics. In this third
edition, the first part of the book has been revised somewhat to
include more references to the applications of the concepts in the
later parts, and the second part now includes sections on chaos and
complexity and on noise and information theory. The discussion of
devices and fabrication has been revised, and an appendix
introducing students to computer programming has been added. This
edition includes many new homework problems, including some that
involve writing computer programs.
