This text explores the relationship between the planned or built environment and the occurrence of mental ill-health. It begins by providing a broad overview of what is known about the causes of psychopathic behaviour. It then goes on to discuss the issues that arise when attempting to identify: the impact of the environment as a source of stress; the effects that the environment can have on the quality of relationships between people; and the relationship between symbolic aspects of the environment, the planning process and mental health. The book uses analysis and case studies drawn from the UK and US and contains example illustrations of the built environment.
Since its introduction in 1984, MATLAB's ever-growing popularity and functionality have secured its position as an industry-standard software package. The user-friendly, interactive environment of MATLAB 6.x, which includes a high-level programming language, versatile graphics capabilities, and abundance of intrinsic functions, helps users focus on their applications rather than on programming errors. MATLAB has now leapt far ahead of FORTRAN as the software of choice for engineering applications.

This volume is a follow up to its highly influential predecessor,
"Options for Britain," which in 1995 brought together a leading
group of academics and policy experts to assess the key economic,
social and constitutional policy options for Britain.
A decade on and the British political world is very different. Much
of the analysis in "Options for Britain" has become accepted
wisdom, and many of the policy proposals have become reality.
However, there is also a sense of deja vu. The Labour government
has been in power for a decade and governments find it difficult to
refresh themselves in power, as the legacy of their own decisions
build up. It is in these historical moments that outside thinking
such as that embodied within "Options for a New Britain" can have a
decisive influence, helping to inform the public and key
commentators, and to provide a source of ideas and inspiration.
Leading policy experts examine what has happened over the last
decade across a broad range of key policy areas, what are the
current challenges and what options might an incoming government-
regardless of political persuasion- have to address them.
The topic of “Neurotheology” has garnered increasing attention
in the academic, religious, scientific, and popular worlds.
However, there have been no attempts at exploring more specifically
how Jewish religious thought and experience may intersect with
neurotheology. The Rabbi’s Brain engages this groundbreaking
area. Topics included relate to a neurotheological approach to the
foundational beliefs that arise from the Torah and associated
scriptures, Jewish learning, an exploration of the different
elements of Judaism (i.e. reform, conservative, and orthodox), an
exploration of specifically Jewish practices (i.e. Davening,
Sabbath, Kosher), and a review of Jewish mysticism. The Rabbi’s
Brain engages these topics in an easy to read style and integrates
the scientific, religious, philosophical, and theological aspects
of the emerging field of neurotheology. By reviewing the concepts
in a stepwise, simple, yet thorough discussion, readers regardless
of their background, will be able to understand the complexities
and breadth of neurotheology from the Jewish perspective. More
broadly, issues will include a review of the neurosciences and
neuroscientific techniques; religious and spiritual experiences;
theological development and analysis; liturgy and ritual;
epistemology, philosophy, and ethics; and social implications, all
from the Jewish perspective.
