This volume covers the current status of research in the
neurobiology of motivated behaviors in humans and other animals in
healthy condition. This includes consideration of the psychological
processes that drive motivated behavior and the anatomical,
electrophysiological and neurochemical mechanisms which drive these
processes and regulate behavioural output. The volume also includes
chapters on pathological disturbances in motivation including
apathy, or motivational deficit as well as addictions, the
pathological misdirection of motivated behavior. As with the
chapters on healthy motivational processes, the chapters on disease
provide a comprehensive up to date review of the neurobiological
abnormalities that underlie motivation, as determined by studies of
patient populations as well as animal models of disease. The book
closes with a section on recent developments in treatments for
motivational disorders.
In April 1861, Dick and Tally Simpson, sons of South Carolina
Congressman Richard F. Simpson, enlisted in Company A of the Third
South Carolina Volunteers of the Confederate army. Their letters
home--published here for the first time--read like a historical
novel, complete with plot, romance, character, suspense, and
tragedy. In their last year of college when the war broke out, Dick
and Tally were hastily handed their diplomas so they could
volunteer for military duty. Dick was twenty; Tally was
twenty-two.
Well educated, intelligent, and thoughtful young men, Dick and
Tally cared deeply for their country, their family, and their
comrades-in-arms and wrote frequently to their loved ones in
Pendleton, South Carolina, offering firsthand accounts of dramatic
events from the battle of First Manassas in July 1861 to the battle
of Chickamauga in September 1863. Their letters provide a picture
of war as it was actually experienced at the time, not as it was
remembered some twenty or thirty years later. It is a picture that
neither glorifies war nor condemns it, but simply "tells it like it
is." Written to a number of different people, the boys' letters
home dealt with a number of different subjects. Letters to "Pa"
went into great detail about military matters in Lee's Army of
Northern Virginia--troop movements, casualties, and how well
particular units had fought; letters to "Ma" and sisters Anna and
Mary were about camp life and family friends in the army and
usually included requests for much-needed food and clothing;
letters to Aunt Caroline and her daughter Carrie usually concerned
affairs of the heart, for Aunt Caroline continued to be Dick and
Tally's trusted confidante, even when they were "far, far from
home."
The value of these letters lies not so much in the detailed
information they provide as in the overall picture they convey--a
picture of how one Southern family, for better or for worse, at
home and at the front--coped with the experience of war. These are
not wartime reminiscences, but wartime letters, written from the
camp, the battlefield, the hospital bed, the picket line--wherever
the boys happened to be when they found time to write home. It is a
poignant picture of war as it was actually experienced in the South
as the Civil War unfolded.
GENSTAT is a general purpose statistical computing system with a
flexible command language operating on a variety of data
structures. It may be used on a number of computer ranges, either
interactively for exploratory data analysis, or in batch mode for
standard data analysis. The great flexibility of GENSTAT is
demonstrated in this handbook by analysing the wide range of
examples discussed in Applied Statistics - Principles and Examples
(Cox and Snell, 1981). GENSTAT programs are listed for each of the
examples. Most of the data sets are small but often it is these
seemingly small problems which involve the most tricky statistical
and computational procedures. This handbook is self-contained
although for a full description of the analysis and interpretation
it should be used in parallel with Applied Statistics - Principles
and Examples.

In this exciting and innovative textbook, two leading
oceanographers bring together the fundamental physics and biology
of the coastal ocean in a quantitative but accessible way for
undergraduate and graduate students. Shelf sea processes are
comprehensively explained from first principles using an integrated
approach to oceanography that helps build a clear understanding of
how shelf sea physics underpins key biological processes in these
environmentally sensitive regions. Using many observational and
model examples, worked problems and software tools, the authors
explain the range of physical controls on primary biological
production and shelf sea ecosystems. Boxes throughout the book
present extra detail for each topic and non-mathematical summary
points are provided for physics sections, allowing students to
develop an intuitive understanding. The book is fully supported by
extensive online materials, including worked solutions to
end-of-chapter exercises, additional homework/exam problems with
solutions and simple MATLAB and FORTRAN models for running
simulations.
In most patients, pain medication, along with physical therapy and
supportive counselling, adequately controls the pain of terminal
disease, but in some cases pain medication fails or produces
unacceptable side effects, and other more invasive interventions
may be used. This practical book provides comprehensive and
easy-to-follow guidelines on nerve blocking and neuromodulation
techniques to help patients and professionals make choices in pain
management. Patients selection and appropriate referral are
discussed as well as ethical issues and consent. This book will be
an invaluable source of information for a variety of professionals
working with patients with advanced disease, including palliative
care doctors and specialist nurses, as there is a scarcity of
consultants in pain management in the field of palliative care.
Some healthcare professionals may not have experience of the full
range of techniques that may benefit their patients, therefore
limiting the choices available to patients with uncontrolled pain
in the context of palliative care. This book will ensure that the
full range of techniques are considered to provide excellent care
for patients with pain that is difficult to manage.
This new edition of the Practical Management of Complex Cancer Pain
has been fully updated and expanded, with five new chapters on
novel interventional techniques in cancer pain amelioration. The
book provides advice on advanced pain management, emphasising the
suitability and selection of patients for different invasive and
complex procedures based on patient history. Case histories are
included throughout the text to give the reader insight into the
complexities of holistic management, with pain being only one
component in the distress that cancer causes for both patients and
families. The book also covers cancer pain management for patients
in a community setting, and the collaboration between pain and
palliative medicine. Concise, practical, and evidence-based, this
guide is essential reading for all pain and palliative care
specialists in the community, hospital, and hospice settings.
Organic Structure Determination Using 2-D NMR Spectroscopy: A
Problem-Based Approach, Second Edition, is a primary text for a
course in two-dimensional (2-D) nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR)
techniques, with the goal to learn to identify organic molecular
structure. It presents strategies for assigning resonances to known
structures and for deducing structures of unknown organic molecules
based on their NMR spectra. The book begins with a discussion of
the NMR technique, while subsequent chapters cover instrumental
considerations; data collection, processing, and plotting; chemical
shifts; symmetry and topicity; through-bond effects; and
through-space effects. The book also covers molecular dynamics;
strategies for assigning resonances to atoms within a molecule;
strategies for elucidating unknown molecular structures; simple and
complex assignment problems; and simple and complex unknown
problems. Each chapter includes problems that will enable readers
to test their understanding of the material discussed. The book
contains 30 known and 30 unknown structure determination problems.
It also features a supporting website from which instructors can
download the structures of the unknowns in selected chapters,
digital versions of all figures, and raw data sets for processing.
This book will stand as a single source to which instructors and
students can go to obtain a comprehensive compendium of NMR
problems of varying difficulty.
Many patients come to the Accident and Emergency department in pain
or with conditions requiring local or general anaesthesia. Close
co-operation between the staff of the Anaesthesia and Accident and
Emergency departments is vital if anaesthesia and analgesia are to
be dealt with efficiently and safely. This new edition has been
extensively revised throughout, especially with regard to
resuscitation techniques. It provides a concise guide to
anaesthesia and pain relief in emergency medicine. Throughout, the
emphasis is on the practical management of problems, giving clear
instructions about the treatment of common conditions.

My dear Aunt
With pleasure do I attempt to scratch you a few lines. I have
passed the line of sentinels and am now far out in the woods
sitting on the ground writing with a pencil about long enough to
ketch with two fingers and on a little piece of plank about as
large as my paper, so you must excuse this scrawl....We are now in
the land of danger, far, far from home, fighting for our homes and
those near our hearts. I have been from home for months at a time,
but I never wished to be back as bad in my life. How memory recalls
every little spot, and how vividly every little scene flashes
before my mind. Oh! if there is one place dear to me it is home
sweet home. How many joys cluster there. To join once more our
family circle (I mean you all) and talk of times gone by would be
more to me than all else besides...your
Most affectionate nephew
