This second edition of Lessons in Play reorganizes the presentation
of the popular original text in combinatorial game theory to make
it even more widely accessible. Starting with a focus on the
essential concepts and applications, it then moves on to more
technical material. Still written in a textbook style with
supporting evidence and proofs, the authors add many more exercises
and examples and implement a two-step approach for some aspects of
the material involving an initial introduction, examples, and basic
results to be followed later by more detail and abstract results.
Features Employs a widely accessible style to the explanation of
combinatorial game theory Contains multiple case studies Expands

A volume in the Principles and Applications in Engineering series, Clinical Engineering focuses on managing the deployment of medical technology and integrating it appropriately with desired clinical practices. It provides a description of the wide range of responsibilities clinical engineers encounter, describes technology management and assessment in detail, and reviews the standards and regulatory agencies of interest. Then the book details various biomedical sensors, considering both biologic and electronic factors in sensor performance. Finally, the book covers bioinstrumentation, addressing traditional topics and recently developed instruments and devices such as pulse oximeters and home-care monitoring devices.
The ancient game of Go is one of the less obvious candidates for
mathematical analysis. With the development of new concepts in
combinatorial game theory, the authors have been able to analyze Go
games and find solutions to real endgame problems that have stumped
professional Go players. Go players with an interest in mathematics
and mathematicians who work in game theory will not want to miss
this book because it describes substantial connections between the
two subjects that have been, until now, largely unrecognized.

animators, from artistic to technical to financial. The book starts
off by looking at planning and designing an animation project,
including working out your goals, and putting together character
libraries and storyboards. Next up we look at the production phase,
which includes using plug-ins to make your work more efficient,
implementing your animation, and adding special effects. Finally,
we look at post-production work, including how After Effects can be
used effectively alongside Flash for tasks such as camera
mechanics, how to make Flash not look like Flash, and tips and
tricks from the experts. Whatever the reason, like millions of
others around the world you've become interested in Flash
animation. And you've come to the rightplace to learn more. This
book is compatible with pretty much any fairly recent version of

Mash/Wolfe/Nguyen Williams' CHILD PSYCHOPATHOLOGY, 8th Edition,
introduces you to childhood and adolescent disorders, treatments
and preventions with an approach that recognizes the
interconnectedness of biological, psychological, social and
emotional influences. You'll learn about each disorder from the
perspective of the whole child, with diagnostic criteria and an
emphasis on the individual's strengths, environmental
circumstances, issues regarding younger and older age groups and
the risk and protective factors affecting developmental pathways.
Case histories, examples and first-person accounts are at the heart
of the text, bringing to life theories and disorders and the real
people affected by them.
The new edition of this popular, evidence-based guide compiles and
reviews all the latest knowledge on assessment, diagnosis, and
treatment of childhood maltreatment - including neglect and
physical, sexual, psychological, or emotional abuse. Readers are
led through this complex problem with clear descriptions of legal
requirements for recognizing, reporting, and disclosing
maltreatment as well as the best assessment and treatment methods.
The focus is on the current gold standard approach - trauma-focused
CBT. This book is thus invaluable for those training or working as
expert witnesses in childhood maltreatment and is also essential
reading for child psychologists, child psychiatrists, forensic
psychologists, pediatricians, family practitioners, social workers,
public health nurses, and students.
