New York Times bestseller Journey into the universe through the
most spectacular sights in astronomy in stereoscopic 3D Welcome to
the Universe in 3D takes you on a grand tour of the observable
universe, guiding you through the most spectacular sights in the
cosmos-in breathtaking 3D. Presenting a rich array of stereoscopic
color images, which can be viewed in 3D using a special stereo
viewer that folds easily out of the cover of the book, this book
reveals your cosmic environment as you have never seen it before.
Astronomy is the story of how humankind's perception of the
two-dimensional dome of the sky evolved into a far deeper
comprehension of an expanding three-dimensional cosmos. This book
invites you to take part in this story by exploring the universe in
depth, as revealed by cutting-edge astronomical research and
observations. You will journey from the Moon through the solar
system, out to exoplanets, distant nebulas, and galaxy clusters,
until you finally reach the cosmic microwave background radiation
(or CMB), the most distant light we can observe. The distances to
these celestial wonders range from 1.3 light-seconds to 13.8
billion light-years. Along the way, the authors explain the
fascinating features of what you are seeing, including how the 3D
images were made using the same technique that early astronomers
devised to measure distances to objects in space. The dramatic 3D
images in this one-of-a-kind book will astonish you, extending your
vision out to the farthest reaches of the universe. You will never
look up into the night sky the same way again.
A pocket-style edition based on the New York Times bestseller A
Brief Welcome to the Universe offers a breathtaking tour of the
cosmos, from planets, stars, and galaxies to black holes and time
loops. Bestselling authors and acclaimed astrophysicists Neil
deGrasse Tyson, Michael A. Strauss, and J. Richard Gott take
readers on an unforgettable journey of exploration to reveal how
our universe actually works. Propelling you from our home solar
system to the outermost frontiers of space, this book builds your
cosmic insight and perspective through a marvelously entertaining
narrative. How do stars live and die? What are the prospects of
intelligent life elsewhere in the universe? How did the universe
begin? Why is it expanding and accelerating? Is our universe alone
or part of an infinite multiverse? Exploring these and many other
questions, this pocket-friendly book is your passport into the
wonders of our evolving cosmos.

The invaluable resource provides a sophisticated technique for
teachers to observe, assess, plan and evaluate to improve pupil
behaviour. The book recognises the diverse demands of the modern
classroom and explores ways in which asking the right question can
help in the development of effective solutions. This is far more
than ticking check lists as it will: develop a more rigorous
approach to the tracking and assessment of behaviour related
issues; deepen understanding about biological, psychological and
social factors influencing behaviour; give examples of reflective
and diagnostic practice, informing planning for successful
interventions; and explore ways of collecting appropriate
information to support requests for interventions from other
agencies. The pack includes a CD ROM with reflective tasks,
diagnostic tools, illustrative poems and a staff Powerpoint for
professional development sessions.
This second edition continues to present the following special
features of its highly successful predecessor: * an analysis of the
major partitionings of the MMPI into special scales in terms of
their clinical usefulness, resulting in the selection of those
scales that most discriminatingly and non-redundantly represent the
core psychological traits and qualities captured by the MMPI; * a
number of individually developed scales that tap into additional
aspects of validity, psychopathology, and adjustment and
personality; * the Indiana Special Scales which sample additional
areas that were not as well identified or delineated by prior scale
development; * a critique of the foregoing selections in light of
the extant MMPI literature (which this second edition further
expands up to the current time) and of a major investigation at the
Indiana University Medical School of the conjoint use of special
scales; * a critique of the shortcomings of high-point codes; * a
detailed, categorized listing of the most useful scales in
empirical clusters based on their established intercorrelations
such that not only scale elevations but also interrelations (and
the departures from the expected) of scales become clinically
interpretable; * an exploration of the interrelationships between
Rorschach and MMPI variables, leading to complementary use of these
two instruments. This second edition also takes into account the
development of MMPI-2 and the status of its new special scales
vis-a-vis the established scales derived from the original MMPI. In
so doing, it indicates why the original scales continue to offer
substantial advantages over the MMPI-2 scales. It further examines
changes in the nosology of personality disorders and proposes
special scale markers for these disorders as they have been
clarified progressively through DSM-IV. This volume offers the MMPI
user a library of psychological report statements based on special
scale interpretation, with recommended score ranges and cutting
points for particular inferences. These latter features appear
together as an appendix styled as "The Human Computer." Unlike the
typical computer-generated report, this appendix makes all decision
rules explicit, thereby permitting the user to use the library of
statements with full knowledge of their applicability. By retaining
the element of clinical judgment -- the human dimension of
inference -- the user is enabled to better integrate MMPI special
scale findings with data from other sources while in the process of
crafting the report. All of these new features are accompanied by
applicable literature citations.

Gott examines Eliot's The Waste Land (1922) in conjunction with
Gustave Flaubert's La Tentation de Saint Antoine (1874). He
provides a highly original reading of both texts and argues that a
stylistic affinity exists between the two works.
Whilst T.S. Eliot's status as a canonical modernist poet is secure,
his legacy remains the subject of much critical debate. Gott
examines Eliot's 'The Waste Land' (1922) in conjunction with
Gustave Flaubert's 'La Tentation de Saint Antoine' (1874). He
provides a highly original reading of both texts and argues that a
stylistic affinity exists between the two works, which derives from
the authors' shared fascination for the ascetic saint.

This book is a brilliant blend of health policy and nursing
practice. It identifies the forces that have dominated change in
the national health systems of industrialised countries - the shift
of priorities from hospital to ambulatory care, the vast expansion
in modern technology, the rise in expenditures and efforts at
cost-containment, the renewed emphasis on disease prevention and
health promotion. At the same time, this book brings to life the
impact of these forces and the actual practice of nursing,
demonstrating how 'technology' and 'caring' can be harmonised. It
shows through international case studies ways for nurses to
maximise their contribution to patient care and to contribute to
the improved effectiveness of national health systems.' Milton I
Roemer, in the Foreword
Electronic communications are already revolutionizing the delivery
of health care in homes and communities. The medium will have
increasing impact on the delivery of health care in response to the
pressure to use limited resources cost-effectively. To date much of
telematics in health care has focused on hospital-based
bio-medicine. In this book a case is made for reorientation of
telematic activity towards the use of "low tech" (social)
technologies supported by "Health for All" philosophies. This book
uses several case studies of pilot schemes to illustrate how the
models can be applied in a variety of settings. Experience of
telematics in America, Canada, Germany, Italy, The Netherlands,
Portugal and Wales is shared for an international readership of
innovators in health care management.
