A Compendium of Neuropsychological Tests, Fourth Edition is one of
the most well-established reference texts in neuropsychology. This
newly-revised, updated, and expanded fourth edition provides a
comprehensive overview of essential aspects of neuropsychological
practice along with 100 test reviews of well-known
neuropsychological tests for adults. The aim of the Compendium is
to provide a comprehensive yet practical overview of the state of
the field while also summarizing the evidence on the theoretical
background, norms, reliability, and validity of commonly-used
neuropsychological tests. Based on extensive review of the clinical
and research literature in neuropsychology, neurology, and related
disciplines, its comprehensive critical reviews of common
neuropsychological tests and standardized scales include tests for
premorbid estimation, dementia screening, IQ, attention, executive
functioning, memory, language, visuospatial skills, sensory
function, motor skills, performance validity, and symptom validity.
Tables within each test review summarize important features of each
test, highlight aspects of each normative dataset, and provide an
overview of psychometric properties. This essential reference text
also covers basic and advanced aspects of neuropsychological
assessment with chapters on psychometric concepts and principles,
reliability in neuropsychology, theoretical models of test
validity, and an overview of critical concepts pertaining to
performance and symptom validity testing and malingering. Of
interest to neuropsychologists, clinical psychologists, educational
psychologists, neurologists, and psychiatrists as well as trainees
in these areas, this volume will aid practitioners in gaining a
deeper understanding of fundamental assessment concepts in
neuropsychology while also serving as an essential guidebook for
selecting the right test for specific clinical situations and for
helping clinicians make empirically-supported test interpretations.
With a powerful juxtaposition of portraiture and landscape
photography, this book explores Dawoud Bey's vivid evocations of
race, history, time, and place Dawoud Bey (b. 1953) is an American
photographer best known for his large-scale portraits of
underrepresented subjects and for his commitment to fostering
dialogue about contemporary social and political topics. Bey has
also found inspiration in the past, and in two recent series,
presented together here for the first time, he addresses African
American history explicitly, with renderings both lyrical and
immediate. In 2012 Bey created The Birmingham Project, a series of
paired portraits memorializing the six children who were victims of
the Ku Klux Klan's bombing of Birmingham, Alabama's 16th Street
Baptist Church, a site of mass civil rights meetings, and the
violent aftermath. Night Coming Tenderly, Black is a group of
large-scale black-and-white landscapes made in 2017 in Ohio that
reimagine sites where the Underground Railroad once operated. The
book is introduced by an essay exploring the series' place within
Bey's wider body of work, as well as their relationships to the
past, the present, and each other. Additional essays investigate
the works' evocations of race, history, time, and place, addressing
the particularities of and resonances between two series of
photographs that powerfully reimagine the past into the present.

Since 1880, ORT's mission has been focused on empowerment through
education, a pragmatic education enabling the recipient to obtain
meaningful employment. ORT originated in Russia, the catalyst being
the abolishment of serfdom. A few visionary leaders created ORT for
the sole purpose of 'helping those to help themselves.' Instead of
providing money, they provided education to those willing to learn.
The old concept of Teach a person to fish and they will be able to
fish for life remains to this day. The inspiring transformation and
heart-warming stories told in Stories Inked are almost all
inextricably linked to the transformative work of ORT. The stories
tell much about the human spirit, how given an opportunity it can
soar above a past that tried to obliterate it. It is our hope that
you will find a particular story that will resonate with you.
