This book advances a serious consideration of how the goals and
practices of psychology can be informed and enriched by Buddhist
traditions that transcend the individual to consider the
interconnectedness of all things, and the responsibility we have
towards the other. Individualistic and psychotherapeutic
applications of Buddhism in psychology are examined, followed by a
bold step into the community arena, with consideration given to the
intersection between community psychology and Buddhist approaches
to empowerment, social change, and prevention.
The wildly popular, bestselling sci-fi series by Katherine
Applegate and Michael Grant returns in a new full-color graphic
novel series, adapted by Chris Grine. Rachel is still reeling from
the news that Earth is secretly under attack by parasitic aliens,
the Yeerks. Now she and her friends are the planet's only defense
-- five kids who, purely by chance, stumbled onto a downed
spacecraft and were given the power to morph into any animals they
touch. The team's best lead is their assistant principal, Mr.
Chapman, who is the human host to a high-ranking Yeerk official.
It's not much, but Rachel's always been a daredevil, and she
volunteers to infiltrate Chapman's home. Rachel is tough. She's
fearless. But what she finds inside may be more than even she can
handle.
The current automotive industry faces numerous challenges,
including increased global competition, more stringent
environmental and safety requirements, the need for higher
performance vehicles, and reducing costs. The materials used in
automotive engineering play key roles in overcoming these issues.
Automotive Engineering: Lightweight, Functional, and Novel
Materials focuses on both existing materials and future
developments in automotive science and technology. Divided into
four sections, the book first describes the development of future
vehicles, aluminum alloys for manufacturing lighter body panels,
and various polymer composites for stronger module carriers. It
then reviews state-of-the-art functional materials and smart
technologies and projects in which application areas they will most
impact future automotive designs and manufacturing. The next
section considers the difficulties that must be overcome for light
alloys to displace ferrous-based materials and the increasing
competition from lightweight polymeric-based composites. The final
section explores newer processing and manufacturing technologies,
including welding and joining, titanium alloys, and durable,
high-performance composites. With contributions from
internationally recognized experts, this volume provides a
comprehensive overview of cutting-edge automotive materials and
technologies. It will help you understand the key materials and
engineering concerns currently confronting this industry.
Putting Image Repair to the Test: Quantitative Applications of
Image Restoration Theory examines content analytic, attitudinal,
and behavioral claims to advance current assertions made about
image repair discourse, its effects, and the surrounding discourse.
The contributors provide empirical data to answer research
questions and to test various hypotheses in one substantive volume
that builds on prior research in this field. Recommended for
scholars in communication studies, public relations, and
journalism.

Harmful algal blooms (HABs) - blooms that cause fish kills,
contaminate seafood with toxins, or cause human or ecological
health impacts and harm to local economies - are occurring more
often, in more places and lasting longer than in past decades. This
expansion is primarily the result of human activities, through
increased nutrient inputs and various aspects of climate change.
The Global Ecology and Oceanography of Harmful Algal Blooms
(GEOHAB) programme promoted international collaboration to
understand HAB population dynamics in various oceanographic regimes
and to improve the prediction of HABs. This volume introduces
readers to the overarching framework of the GEOHAB programme,
factors contributing to the global expansion of harmful algal
blooms, the complexities of HABs in different habitats, and the
forward-looking issues to be tackled by the next generation of
GEOHAB, GlobalHAB. The programme brought together an international
team of contributing scientists and ecosystem managers, and its
outcomes will greatly benefit the international research community.
All humans share certain components of tooth structure, but show
variation in size and morphology around this shared pattern. This
book presents a worldwide synthesis of the global variation in
tooth morphology in recent populations. Research has advanced on
many fronts since the publication of the first edition, which has
become a seminal work on the subject. This revised and updated
edition introduces new ideas in dental genetics and ontogeny and
summarizes major historical problems addressed by dental
morphology. The detailed descriptions of 29 dental variables are
fully updated with current data and include details of a new
web-based application for using crown and root morphology to
evaluate ancestry in forensic cases. A new chapter describes what
constitutes a modern human dentition in the context of the hominin
fossil record.
Primary care clinicians are performing more varied procedures than
ever before, and physicians, residents, and students need a
comprehensive, authoritative resource that provides trusted
information in an easy-to-follow format. Through three outstanding
editions, Pfenninger and Fowler's Procedures for Primary Care has
been the go-to reference for step-by-step strategies for nearly
every medical procedure that can be performed in an office,
hospital, or emergency care facility by primary care providers.
This 4th Edition continues that tradition with new section editors,
updated illustrations, new chapters, and much more. No other
primary care procedure book compares with Pfenninger and Fowler's
breadth and depth of practical, step-by-step content! Access to
this product, which may be at the discretion of your institution,
is up to 3 years of online and perpetual offline access. Elsevier
reserves the right to restrict or remove access due to changes in
product portfolio or other market conditions. Provides
comprehensive, real-world coverage of more than 230 procedures that
arise in the primary care setting, including many that were
previously performed only in subspecialty settings, such as joint
injections and cosmetic procedures. Includes new chapters:
Esophageal Foreign Body Removal, Manual Testicular Detorsion,
Symphysiotomy, Zipper Injury Management, and Blood Products.
Presents the "how-to" expertise of six new section editors, for a
fresh, contemporary perspective throughout the book. Additional
focus on the evidence, with plentiful citations to key references,
makes this the most evidence-based edition yet. Features numerous
updated illustrations, including many more in full color, and
incorporates updated ICD-10-CM codes throughout. Provides access to
online resources including patient education handouts and consent
forms, lists of device manufacturers, and more. Utilizes a concise
outline format, detailed text and illustrations, and abundant boxes
and tables for quick access to the information you need. Enhanced
eBook version included with purchase, which allows you to access
all of the text, figures, and references from the book on a variety
of devices
This is a new release of the original 1935 edition.
LED Helmet Extravehicular Activity Helmet Interchangeable Portable
(LEHIP) lights for the Extravehicular Mobility Unit (EMU) have been
built and tested and are currently being used on the International
Space Station. A design is presented of the passive thermal control
system consisting of a chamber filled with aluminum foam and wax. A
thermal math model of LEHIP was built and correlated by test to
show that the thermal design maintains electronic components within
hot and cold limits for a 7 hour spacewalk in the most extreme EVA
average environments, and do not pose a hazard to the crew or to
components of the EMU.
This is the first full-length biography of James Lane Allen
(1849-1925), son of the Kentucky Bluegrass region, and a
representative writer of the nineties. The biography is important
because it illuminates and reveals a little-known personality. It
also contains a significant discussion of the attitude of a later
generation toward the Genteel Tradition represented by Allen.
Originally published in 1935.
