The modern mammal metropolis of Zootopia is a city like no other. Comprised of habitat neighborhoods like ritzy Sahara Square and frigid Tundratown, it’s a melting pot where animals from every environment live together—a place where no matter what you are, from the biggest elephant to the smallest shrew, you can be anything.
But when optimistic Officer Judy Hopps arrives, she discovers that being the first bunny on a police force of big, tough animals isn’t so easy.
Determined to prove herself, she jumps at the opportunity to crack a case, even if it means partnering with a fast-talking, scam-artist fox, Nick Wilde, to solve the mystery.
When last did you get lost? We rarely do in the era of Google Maps and Waze, but satellite navigation systems are of no use when disruption turns our lives upside down. When swirling mists of uncertainty block our view of the future, we might question our ability to cope. But with awareness, determination and practise we can improve our competence, build our resilience and confidence, and gain a sense of control, even when everything feels out of control.
Whether your life has been disrupted by death, divorce, disease, Covid-19 lockdown, working from home, moving town, starting a new job, or any of a host of other disruptive events that can either make or break you, this book will guide you to the best possible outcome. Disruption is never comfortable, but regardless of whether it is positive or negative, it is a catalyst for change.
Future-Proof Yourself provides simple but effective lessons and frameworks to help you future-proof yourself to win at both work and life. Dip into chapters on disruption, remote working, resilience, teamwork, leadership and family, and learn how to remain focused, utilise pressure and create a recipe for personal success. A distillation of Nikki Bush’s professional insights as a human-potential and parenting expert, combined with her personal honesty and vulnerability, this book is a must-read for anyone looking to harness their courage and curiosity to build a rewarding, fulfilling future for themselves – no matter what life throws at them.
Nikki Bush, a parenting expert, and Arthur Goldstuck, a technical commentator, will help parents get a handle on what’s happening in consumer technology. In this sensitive and insightful guide, they carve a path through the maze of terminology, dangers and opportunities to help parents navigate new spaces together with their children, with greater confidence.
In explaining the technology, they never ignore the human context: to place children’s use of technology in the context of the relationship between parents and their children.
The guide will ensure children are both safe and savvy in this fast-changing world, and the process starts with parents. For families to remain connected, both online and offline, and for young people to develop into responsible digital citizens, parents need to bridge the digital divide for their children.
Psychological assessment is practiced in wide-ranging settings to
address the varied clinical and administrative needs of veteran
populations. Such assessment blends record review, clinical
interviews of the veteran and collateral sources of information,
behavioral observations, and psychological testing.
This book promotes the care and well-being of veterans by bringing
together knowledgeable and experienced psychologists to discuss a
range of psychological assessment methods and procedures. It aims
to help patients and their families, healthcare providers, and
concerned citizens gain an improved understanding of veterans'
cognitive functioning, emotional states, personality traits,
behavioral patterns, and daily functioning.
The book begins with a history of the psychological assessment of
veterans and investigates its efficacy in different settings,
including outpatient mental health, long-term care, primary care,
home-based primary care, and telemental health. Later chapters
address assessment of a variety of disorders or presenting
problems, including substance use disorders, psychotic disorders,
mood disorders and suicidal thoughts and behavior, PTSD and other
anxiety disorders, attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder,
dementia, pain and pain-related disorders, and polytrauma. The book
concludes with important special considerations, including
assessment of symptom and performance validity, assessment of
homeless veterans and health-related quality of life, and ethical,
legal, and professional issues.
Psychological Assessment of Veterans provides an essential
reference and guide for clinical psychologists, including those
working in the subspecialties, and psychology trainees who work
with veterans.
Ideographic Modernism offers a critical account of the ideograph
(Chinese writing as imagined in the West) as a modernist invention.
Rather than focusing on the accuracy of this ideograph as a kind of
representation of China (a focus that would yield predictable
results), Christopher Bush reconstructs the specific history of the
ideograph in order to explore the question of representation in
more fundamental ways, ways that reflect the diversity and
complexity of literary modernism itself.
On one level, the book makes an argument about the meaning and
function of the ideograph during the modernist period, namely that
this imagined Chinese writing was a complex response to the various
writings of such technological media as the photograph, the
phonograph, the cinematograph, and the telegraph. Through analyses
of works by Claudel, Pound, Kafka, Benjamin, Segalen, and Valery,
among others, Ideographic Modernism traces the interweaving of
Western modernity's ethnographic and technological imaginaries, in
which the cultural effects of technological media assumed "Chinese"
forms, even as traditional representations of "the Orient" lived on
in modernist-era responses to media.
On another level, the book makes a methodological argument,
demonstrating new ways of recovering the generally overlooked
presence of China in the text of Western modernism. In addition to
being its subject matter, then, ideographic modernism is also the
book's method: a polemically "literal" way of reading that calls
for reevaluations both of how modernist literature related to its
historical contexts and of the ways in which we can understand that
relationship today."
For students of Chinese art and culture this anthology has
proven invaluable since its initial publication in 1985. It
collects important Chinese writings about painting, from the
earliest examples through the fourteenth century, allowing readers
to see how the art of this rich era was seen and understood in the
artists' own times. Some of the texts in this treasury fall into
the broad category of aesthetic theory; some describe specific
techniques; some discuss the work of individual artists. Presented
in accurate and readable translations, and prefaced with artistic
and historical background information to the formative periods of
Chinese theory and criticism. A glossary of terms and an appendix
containing brief biographies of 270 artists and critics add to the
usefulness of this volume.
