introduction to the study of human neuroscience. The book has been
carefully designed to accompany a typical entry-level course,
covering core topics including the function and structure of the
nervous system, basic human motivations, stress and health, and
cognitive functioning. In addition to traditional topics, the book
also includes dedicated chapters on the social brain,
neurocognitive disorders, and brain imaging techniques, ensuring
students gain a thorough understanding of the field in its broadest
sense. An evolutionary approach is also taken throughout, providing
a truly unique perspective on our understanding of brain and
behavior. The text is supported by colorful and informative
diagrams, alongside a plethora of student-friendly features such as
learning objectives, case studies and concept checks. The book is
also supported by online resources including an instructor
testbank, basics of neuroscience videos, and interactive brain
maps. Helping students understand the basics of human neuroscience
across evolutionary time, Fundamentals of Brain and Behavior is an

Originally published in 1992, this title came out of a conference
on emotion and cognition as antecedents and consequences of health
and disease processes in children and adolescents. The theoretical
rationale for the conference was based on the assumption that the
development of emotion, cognition, health and illness are processes
that influence each other through the lifespan and that these
reciprocal interactions begin in infancy. The chapters discuss
developmental theories, research and implications for interventions
as they relate to promoting health, preventing disease, and
treating illness in children and adolescents.

This book is intended for scientifc researchers, clinical
laboratorians, clinical and translational scientists, and others
interested in proteomics and biomarker discovery. Urine is one of
the most easily accessible biological samples, and it provides a
treasure trove of molecules important in clinical diagnostics. In
this book, we review briefly the classical urine tests that are
performed in the clinical laboratory and then delve into the
state-of-the-art methods for proteomic analysis using urine
specimens. The most recent advances are discussed with regard to
sample preparation, data analysis, and fnally methods and
applications. A multitude of examples are provided including
procedural details for the identifcation and characterization of
urine biomarkers that hold potential for the diagnosis and
treatment of many different disease conditions. The text is
arranged so as to read systematically: introduction, sample
preparation methods, applications, and data analysis. However, it
does not necessarily require the reader to read it from start to
fnish. Each chapter is organized such that it can be read
individually without requiring knowledge from other chapters. I
would like to thank the many individuals who made this book
possible. These include the many authors who contributed to each of
the individual chapters, the corresponding authors who took
responsibility in providing the complete and fnished versions
solicited for the peer review process, and the many scientifc
reviewers who provided their valuable input and guidance.
Within the last decade there has been a tremendous explosion in the
clinical, theoretical, and empirical literature related to the
study of dissociation. Not since the work done at the tum of the
century by Pierre Janet, Morton Prince, William James, and others
have the psychological and medical communities shown this great an
interest in describing and understanding dissociative phenomena.
This volume is the result of this significant expansion. Presently,
interest in the scientific and clinical progress in the field of
dissociation is indicated by the following: 1. The explosion of
conferences, workshops, and seminars devoted to disso ciative
disorders treatment and research. 2. The emergence of
NIMH-supported investigations that focus on dissociation. 3. The
burgeoning literature on dissociation. According to a 1992 biblio
graphic analysis of the field by Goettman et al. (1992), 72% of all
writings on the topic have appeared in the past decade, with about
1000 published papers scattered across diverse disciplines and
journals. 4. Current interest in dissociation as reflected in the
appearance of major articles and special issues in respected
psychology and psychiatry journals. 5. The initiation of a journal
entitled Dissociation (Richard Kluft, MD, Editor) devoted to the
area."

Insects are seldom mentioned in discussions surrounding human
history, yet they have dramatically impacted today's societies.
This book places them front and center, offering a
multidisciplinary view of their significance. Diseases vectored by
insects have killed more people than all weapons of war. Fleas are
common pests, but some can transmit illnesses such as the bubonic
plague. In fact, three pandemics can be traced back to them.
Epidemics of typhus have been caused by lice. Conversely, humans
have also benefitted from insects for millennia. Silk comes from
silkworms and honey comes from bees. Despite the undeniably
powerful effects of insects on humans, their stories are typically
left out of our history books. In The Silken Thread, entomologists
Robert. N. Wiedenmann and J. Ray Fisher link the history of insects
to the history of empires, cultural exchanges, and warfare. The
book narrows its focus to just five insects: a moth, a flea, a
louse, a mosquito, and a bee. The authors explore the impact of
these insects throughout time and the common threads connecting
them. Using biology to complement history, they showcase these
small creatures in a whole new light. On every page, the authors
thoughtfully analyze the links between history and entomology. The
book begins with silkworms, which have been farmed for centuries.
It then moves to fleas and their involvement in the spread of the
plague before introducing the role lice played in the Black Death,
wars, and immigration. The following section concerns yellow fever
mosquitos, emphasizing the effects of yellow fever in the Americas
and the connection to sugar and slavery. After discussing the
importance of western honey bees, the authors tie these five
insects together in an exciting closing chapter.
Written by experimental research expert, Dr. William J. Ray,
Research Methods for Psychological Science introduces students to
the principles and practice of conducting research in psychology in
an engaging, story-telling format. Ray helps students understand
how research increases our understanding of ourselves and our
environment and how logic and best practices can increase our
understanding of human behavior. Whether their future roles will be
researchers, consumers of research, or informed citizens, students
will learn the importance of developing testable hypotheses, how to
evaluate new information critically, and the impact of research on
ourselves and our society. Based on Ray's influential textbook,
Methods Toward a Science of Behavior and Experience, the book
offers up-to-date pedagogy, structure, and exercises to reinforce
the student's learning experience.
Programming Web Services with Perl is written for Perl programmers who have no prior knowledge of web services. No understanding of XML-RPC or SOAP is necessary to be able to apply these technologies easily, through the use of publicly available Perl modules detailed in the book. If you're interested in applying XML-RPC and SOAP technologies to distributed programming applications, then Programming Web Services with Perl is a book you'll want to have.
This comprehensive work presents a broad range of cases drawn from
the clinical experience of authors Kenneth N. Levy, Kristen M.
Kelly, and William J. Ray to take readers beyond theory into
real-life situations. The authors take a holistic approach by
including multiple perspectives and considerations, apart from
those of just the patient. Each chapter follows a consistent
format: Presenting Problems and Client Description; Diagnosis and
Case Formulation; Course of Treatment; Outcome and
Prognosis/Treatment Follow-up; and Discussion Questions. Providing
empirically supported treatments and long-term follow-up in many
case studies gives students a deeper understanding of each
psychopathology and the effects of treatment over time. Also of
