This book provides an overview of the ACCESS program, a mental
health program that has been developed and tested as an efficacious
treatment for college students with ADHD. This program is at the
cutting edge of clinical research, incorporating treatment
strategies that allow for dissemination in real world settings in
order to effectively assist college students experiencing
difficulties in their academic, personal, social, and emotional
functioning. As cognitive behavioral approaches have proved to be
the most successful psychological treatments to date, the
techniques in this volume follow that model in a detailed and
nuanced fashion. The authors provide a week by week breakdown of
the program, supplemented by handouts and worksheets designed to
facilitate better understanding of the areas targeted by the
program. Filling a notable gap in research addressing the ADHD
college student population, CBT for College Students with ADHD is a
crucial resource for campus mental health practitioners as well as
a broad range of clinicians dealing with emerging adults.
The years between 1700 and 1900 witnessed a fundamental transition
in attitudes towards science, as earlier concepts of natural
philosophy were replaced with a more modern conception of science.
This process was by no means a simple progression, and the changing
attitudes to science was marked by bitter arguments and fundamental
differences of opinion, many of which are still not entirely
resolved today. Approaching the subject from a number of cultural
angles, the essays in this volume explore the fluid relationship
between science and belief during this crucial period, and help to
trace the development of science as an independent field of study
that did not look to religion to provide answers to the workings of
the universe. Taking a broadly chronological approach, each essay
in this book addresses a theme that helps illuminate these concerns
and highlights how beliefs - both religious and secular - have
impinged and influenced the scientific world. By addressing such
key issues such as the ongoing debate between Christian
fundamentalists and followers of Darwin, and the rise of
'respectable atheism', fascinating insights are provided that help
to chart the ever-shifting discourse of science and beliefs.
Classification is an important part of science, yet the specific
methods used to construct Enlightenment systems of natural history
have proven to be the bAte noir of studies of eighteenth-century
culture. One reason that systematic classification has received so
little attention is that natural history was an extremely diverse
subject which appealed to a wide range of practitioners, including
wealthy patrons, professionals, and educators. In order to show how
the classification practices of a defined institutional setting
enabled naturalists to create systems of natural history, this book
focuses on developments at Edinburgh's medical school, one of
Europe's leading medical programs. In particular, it concentrates
on one of Scotland's most influential Enlightenment naturalists,
Rev Dr John Walker, the professor of natural history at the school
from 1779 to 1803. Walker was a traveller, cleric, author and
advisor to extremely powerful aristocratic and government patrons,
as well as teacher to hundreds of students, some of whom would go
on to become influential industrialists, scientists, physicians and
politicians. This book explains how Walker used his networks of
patrons and early training in chemistry to become an
eighteenth-century naturalist. Walker's mineralogy was based firmly
in chemistry, an approach common in Edinburgh's medical school, but
a connection that has been generally overlooked in the history of
British geology. By explicitly connecting eighteenth-century
geology to the chemistry being taught in medical settings, this
book offers a dynamic new interpretation of the nascent earth
sciences as they were practiced in Enlightenment Britain. Because
of Walker's influence on his many students, the book also provides
a unique insight into how many of Britain's leading Regency and
Victorian intellectuals were taught to think about the composition
and structure of the material world.

Dieses Buch bietet einen Überblick über das ACCESS-Programm, ein
Programm für die psychische Gesundheit, das als wirksame
Behandlung für Studenten mit ADHS entwickelt und getestet wurde.
Dieses Programm ist auf dem neuesten Stand der klinischen Forschung
und beinhaltet Behandlungsstrategien, die eine Verbreitung in
realen Umgebungen ermöglichen, um College-Studenten, die
Schwierigkeiten in ihrem akademischen, persönlichen, sozialen und
emotionalen Funktionieren haben, wirksam zu unterstützen. Da sich
kognitiv-behaviorale Ansätze als die bisher erfolgreichsten
psychologischen Behandlungen erwiesen haben, folgen die Techniken
in diesem Band diesem Modell auf detaillierte und nuancierte Weise.
Die Autoren bieten eine wochenweise Aufschlüsselung des Programms,
ergänzt durch Handouts und Arbeitsblätter, die ein besseres
Verständnis der vom Programm angesprochenen Bereiche ermöglichen.
CBT for College Students with ADHD füllt eine bemerkenswerte
Forschungslücke in Bezug auf ADHS-Studenten und ist eine wichtige
Ressource für Psychotherapeuten auf dem Campus sowie für ein
breites Spektrum von Ärzten, die mit jungen Erwachsenen arbeiten.
Starting with 1809, Sweden's 'year zero' and a period of deep
national trauma, this book studies the relationship between Sweden
and its environment, and foreign policy and overlapping security
and defence policies. The book displays the pattern to Swedish
foreign policy behavior, at times solidarity and involvement, at
times disengagement and isolation, depending on the actions of
larger powers in the neighbourhood. The author examines Sweden's
independence from, dependence on, orientation towards, and then
acquiescence in Europe, and the release of a 'revolution' in
Swedish foreign policy from the early 1990s. The author also
studies a process of steady Swedish Europeanization and the
emergence of a post-neutral stance. The book's endpoint is the
European Parliamentary election 2019, which resulted in a stemming
of the populist tide in Sweden which had grown from disconnection
between a Europe-reluctant electorate and Europe-enthusiastic
politicians. The book also looks towards Swedish policy ambitions
and prospects for the 2020s and continuation of the 'revolution'.

Local lore had it that Malcolm Ford murdered his more famous
brother Paul Leicester Ford at a tavern at the end of the road. In
the process of investigating this legend, the Rev. William D. Eddy
has compiled this fascinating chronicle of the inhabitants and
associates of Merrywood, the grand estate on Stone Pond in
Marlborough, New Hampshire. Is this an ordinary history? No, but
then again these were not ordinary people and William Eddy is no
ordinary writer. The Lodges may talk only to the Cabots and the
Cabots only to God, but this book tells a pretty good story for the
rest of us. In this delightful, idiosyncratic book, Mr. Eddy takes
the reader for a glimpse into the lives and foibles of the Chases,
Fords, Kidders, Houghtons and Lodges and how and why these
characters came to be owners of Merrywood, the great manor house on
Stone Pond. From the aforementioned murder/suicide; through
publishing magnates, Groton, hupmobiles, a chapel in the woods,
German refugees, The Book of Tea, folk singers and a hurricane,
this book is a calvacade of personalties and events all centered on
this grand house on a lake sitting at the base of Mt. Monadnock.
The reader will know what Mr. Eddy means when he states, "Et Ego in
Arcadia" or "I too have been in Arcadia."

'The consciousness of knowing little, need not beget a distrust of
that which he does not know.' In Natural Theology William Paley set
out to prove the existence of God from the evidence of the beauty
and order of the natural world. Famously beginning by comparing the
world to a watch, whose design is self-evident, he goes on to
provide examples from biology, anatomy, and astronomy in order to
demonstrate the intricacy and ingenuity of design that could only
come from a wise and benevolent deity. Paley's legalistic approach
and skilful use of metaphor and analogy were hugely successful, and
equally controversial. Charles Darwin, whose investigations led to
very different conclusions in the Origin of Species, was greatly
influenced by the book's cumulative structure and accessible style.
This edition reprints the original text of 1802, and sets the book
in the context of the theological, philosophical, and scientific
debates of the nineteenth century. ABOUT THE SERIES: For over 100
years Oxford World's Classics has made available the widest range
of literature from around the globe. Each affordable volume
reflects Oxford's commitment to scholarship, providing the most
accurate text plus a wealth of other valuable features, including
