Functional cognition describes the ability to participate in
everyday activities, combining the constructs of function and
cognition. Substantial literature now exists to support assessment
and intervention methods for functional-cognitive deficits, and
policymakers are increasingly requiring improved methods to track
functional cognition and address it across health changes. This is
the first comprehensive text to focus on methods to assess and
develop interventions for people with functional-cognitive
impairments. Numerous videos, practical how-to information,
theoretical bases, OTPF-3 alignment, and current evidence guide
students and clinicians in integrating assessment information into
the context of clinical care. Readers can immediately apply what
they learn to those with whom they work. Highlights Include-
Section I. Foundations. 2 chapters provide context to define
functional cognition and outline occupational therapy's specific
role in working with people with cognitive loss, including current
policy considerations related to implementing strategies and
reimbursement. Section II. Assessment. 14 chapters cover the
principles of functional-cognitive assessment; describe
performance-based ADL and IADL assessment tools in detail,
including development, components, administration, scoring, and
interpretation; and discuss how to use assessment information to
develop a treatment plan. Section III. Intervention. 5 chapters
discuss learning and transfer and how to select an intervention
framework most appropriate for clients based on their assessment
results. Several approaches are presented, each with background,
components, treatment planning, and video demonstrations for use in
practice. The section is followed by an appendix with case examples
that guide readers in administering and interpreting assessments,
selecting an intervention approach, developing a treatment plan,
administering the treatment, and tracking progress and outcomes.

Samuel Pepys (1633-1703) was a student of Magdalene College,
Cambridge, and bequeathed his personal library of 3000 volumes to
the College on condition that the contents remained intact and
unaltered; they remain there, in his original bookcases, to this
day. In the early twentieth century, a project to produce a
complete catalogue was begun, and four volumes were published
between 1914 and 1940. Volume 2 contains a general introduction to
the library and its history, including extracts from Pepys's diary,
will, and accounts. It then lists and describes the early printed
books, with notes as to special features, other extant copies and
publication history, among them several liturgical books in the
Sarum rite and 1557 editions of Malory's La morte d'Arthur and the
works of Thomas More. It also includes an index of printers. This
catalogue remains a valuable resource for researchers in early
publishing history and seventeenth-century studies.
Originally published in 1923, this book contains an English
translation of the first book of the Irenicum of John Forbes, in
which he defends the Five Articles of Perth, which were instituted
under the Stuart kings in order to bring the Church of Scotland
into line with Anglican religious practice. Selwyn provides a
detailed introduction to the historical, biographical and literary
background of Forbes' work, as well as appendices in which Forbes'
ideas are more thoroughly analysed and explained. This book will be
of value to anyone with an interest in Scottish Christianity or the
work of John Forbes.
Edward Gordon Craig (1872-1966) was the most brilliant and
influential stage designer this century. Always a controversial
figure, he set out to revolutionise the theatre by creating a new
art, the art of the theatre. Almost single-handed he formulated the
principles on which a modern approach to stage design would be
based. In his writings and engravings he transformed stage scenery
from painted back-cloth into an abstract three-dimensional world of
form and light. Craig's reputation as a designer is firmly
established; his brilliance as a writer is only beginning to be
recognised. Index to the Story of My Days shows him at his most
self-revealing. As the original edition announced, 'Anything less
like the conventional book of memoirs it would be difficult to
imagine'. This 1981 reissue includes a specially written
introductory essay by Peter Holland assessing the importance of
Craig's career in the history of stage design.
