For many children and teens, primary care clinicians are the first
to notice and help with mental health issues. This guide helps
primary care pediatricians, family doctors, nurse practitioners,
and other professionals identify, treat, and prevent mental health
problems as well as promote good mental health in their patients.
The authors come from different medical specialties but emphasize
common factors and elements in approaching mental health care in
the primary practice setting. Clinicians will gain insight into
effective methods for helping patients and families share mental
health concerns, learn about mental health issues, and develop
positive attitudes about seeking treatment from specialty
providers. They will also learn how to more effectively deal with
issues that are below the level of a diagnosable disorder and use
early, first-line therapeutic strategies for common mental health
disorders. Also included are techniques for supporting patients and
families in maintaining positive emotional and behavioral changes
that resulted from specialty treatment with other providers.
This is the definitive guide to the ancient Kabbalistic mysteries
of acrophonology, the science of the letters in your name!
Acrophonology-movement of sound (phono) across space
(acro)-correlates every letter in the alphabet with a constellation
in the heavens, giving you a quick and easy method for
understanding your name-and how it influences you! The letters in
your name create a magnetic field that attracts you to the
experiences, people, and places you need to realize your potential.
The wisdom of who you are is encoded in your name! Experience the
power of your name! Rotate your right foot at the ankle to the
right. Then write the number "6" in the air with your right hand.
Notice that the leftward "writing" motion of your hand causes your
foot to rotate to the left! Every time you speak, write, or hear
your name, a reaction occurs in your body-even your heart beats
faster!

Baum and Smith, both professors evolutionary biology and
researchers in the field of systematics, present this highly
accessible introduction to phylogenetics and its importance in
modern biology. Ever since Darwin, the evolutionary histories of
organisms have been portrayed in the form of branching trees or
"phylogenies." However, the broad significance of the phylogenetic
trees has come to be appreciated only quite recently. Phylogenetics
has myriad applications in biology, from discovering the features
present in ancestral organisms, to finding the sources of invasive
species and infectious diseases, to identifying our closest living
(and extinct) hominid relatives. Taking a conceptual approach, Tree
Thinking introduces readers to the interpretation of phylogenetic
trees, how these trees can be reconstructed, and how they can be
used to answer biological questions. Examples and vivid metaphors
are incorporated throughout, and each chapter concludes with a set
of problems, valuable for both students and teachers. Tree Thinking
is must-have textbook for any student seeking a solid foundation in
this fundamental area of evolutionary biology.
