This new edition of Counseling Supervision is intended for
counselor educators, counselor supervisor practitioners, and
supervisors-in-training in a variety of educational and mental
health settings. The editors have brought together experts in the
field of counselor education to review and examine primary
supervision theories and their application to the issues that
counselor supervisors will encounter. Special topic areas included
are multicultural issues in counselor supervision; the supervisory
relationship, an essential and sometimes forgotten component of
supervision, and its influence on supervision process and outcome;
supervision of career counselor trainees; supervision of school
counselors; supervision of family and group counselors; group
supervision; understanding and conducting research in counselor
supervision and training; ethical and advocacy issues in
supervision, and supervisor training. The authors include numerous
case examples throughout the text in order to illustrate the
application of theory to practical issues that the counselor
supervisors encounter. All chapters in this edition have been
revised and updated, and new chapters have been added that expand
on areas of supervision that are highly relevant to students,
researchers, and practitioners.
This text focuses on "participatory evaluation," an approach that
involves teachers and educational administrators as partners with
researchers in a broad range of school and school system-based
evaluation tasks with the explicit goal of using such data to
improve practice.; Participatory evaluation is a natural, suitable
and effective approach to school improvement and educational
change, and has been practiced by the editors and several
colleagues for many years. Though participatory applied research
strategies are growing in popularity, there is a paucity of
documented empirical support for the approach. presenting a set of
original empirical studies and a critical analysis of them this
book will add to our knowledge about variations in the approach,
conditions that support it, its viability within the culture of
schools and school systems and its likely impact defined in terms
of the use of research data and organisational learning.; The book
will be useful for educational practitioners interested in
critically evaluating the potential of participatory evaluation as
an integral part of their own approach to educational reform. It
will also clarify an agenda for research to further our
understanding of the organisational benefits of this type of
collaborative systematic enquiry.

Based on the authors' research on the behaviour and thinking of
school leaders, this volume presents arguments about the natue of
expert school leadership. It parallels developments in the field
from the early 1980s when the emphasis was on identifying the
behaviours of effective principals, to the early 1990s, when the
focus shifted to understanding the thinking underlying those
behaviours. The ideas contained in this book should be useful in
helping practising educationalists develop the skills involved in
school leadership.

ABC of Ear, Nose and Throat is a long established best-selling
guide to the management of common conditions of the Ears, Nose and
Throat. It follows a symptomatic approach for evaluation and
prioritisation of common presentations, and provides guidance on
primary care assessment and management, and on when and why to
refer for a specialist opinion. Fully revised to reflect the
current practice of oto-rhino-laryngology and head and neck
surgery, new chapters address the increasing specialization and
improved understanding of the likely causes and specialist
treatment for symptoms such as tinnitus, nasal discharge, nasal
obstruction, facial plastic surgery, head and neck trauma and
foreign bodies, and non-specialist assessment and examination.
There is new content on rhinoplasty, pinnaplasty, non-melanoma skin
tumours, thyroid disease and head and neck cancer, with many new
full colour illustrations and algorithms throughout. This title is
also available as a mobile App from MedHand Mobile Libraries. Buy

Almost 50 million persons visit another continent each year. It is
mainly those 15-18 million travelers from industrialized nations
who visit or reside in developing countries that are at increased
health risk. To develop effective health protection advice, the
health risks of travel and the benefits of prophylaxis (vaccines,
new and old drugs, behaviour modification, etc.) should be assessed
systematically. The purpose of this book is to improve the
protection of the travelers' health by more effective and more
uniform recommendations. It contains many data on recent research
and represents the first comprehensive account on travel medicine
for professionals.
Henry James remained throughout his life focused on his boyhood and early manhood, and correspondingly on younger boys and men, and John R. Bradley illustrates how it is in the context of such narcissism that James consistently dealt with male desire in his fiction. He also traces a more subtle but related trajectory in James's writing from a Classical to a Modernist gay discourse, which in turn is shown to have been paralleled by a shift in James's fiction from naturalistic beginnings to later stylistic evasion and obscurity. This radical book, which covers the whole of James's career, will quickly be recognized as a defining text in this emerging field of James studies.
"Refractive Surgery: An Interactive Case-Based Approach" presents
all of the necessary refractive surgery material to make an
informed decision regarding diagnosis and management plans. Rather
than utilizing the standard organization of most books, where major
points are first introduced and then explained through a series of
writings and references, this book relies on the clinical
decision-making process involved with treating refractive surgery
patients.
"Refractive Surgery: An Interactive Case-Based Approach" by Dr. J.
Bradley Randleman builds upon foundational initial chapters through
the case presentations and focused case discussions, encompassing
the major topics in refractive surgery today. For each case, the
critical question is simply, "what data in this chart is the most
critical to consider when evaluating this patient for surgery?"
"Refractive Surgery: An Interactive Case-Based Approach" is unique
in its format. Specifically, the book facilitates active learning
by forcing the reader to think through a series of questions
surrounding each patient scenario. This active learning not only
facilitates better recall of the information presented but also
mimics the actual physician-to-patient clinical experience, making
this book more relevant than other routine refractive surgery
books.
Bonus
This dynamic learning tool is also supplemented by interactive
online video material to further the learning experience. Enhance
the clinical decision-making process by watching the videos and
then answering a series of questions that lead to the conclusion of
each scenario.
By challenging the reader to perform the thinking and decision
making up-front, and then providing some guidance on the most
salient concepts for each case scenario presented along with
resources to gain a deeper understanding of the most complex
concepts, " Refractive Surgery: An Interactive Case-Based Approach"
engages more in the learning process and thereby allowing to absorb
and retain significantly more information to apply to patient care
and the education of others.
Ophthalmologists, residents, fellows, resident and fellowship
educators, who want to update their refractive surgery knowledge
base will appreciate the unique format and style of "Refractive
Surgery: An Interactive Case-Based Approach."
A comprehensive reference for physicians, surgeons, and trainees,
Atlas of Corneal Imaging covers all aspects of corneal imaging from
basic map interpretation to advanced diagnostic uses and features
over 1200 illustrative images and figures representing a wide
variety of devices and techniques. Drs. J. Bradley Randleman,
Marcony Santhiago, and William J. Dupps Jr guide readers through
the process of analyzing corneal images using a multitude of
different techniques, technologies, and individual devices. This
creates a complete picture of the cornea’s basic methods and
pathological processes and allows readers to directly visualize how
their technology would display the pathology in question. Atlas of
Corneal Imaging is designed to help practitioners recognize subtle
findings and evaluate signs of weakening or pathology, no matter
how they present or what device is being used. Multiple iterations
of the same clinical condition are shown with numerous
complementary images for the same eye to provide a comprehensive
presentation of each case. Chapters feature information on:
•Topographic patterns and mapping •Corneal ectasia evaluations
•Cornea and refractive surgery evaluations •Clinical
correlations with corneal disorders •Cornea and refractive
surgery complications •Evaluation for cataract surgery Atlas of
Corneal Imaging fills a significant void in corneal imaging
resources available today by presenting an image-first approach to
understanding all the many different technologies for imaging the
cornea.

When we walk, drive a car, or fly an airplane, visual motion is
used to control and guide our movement. Optic flow describes the
characteristic pattern of visual motion that arises in these
situations. This book is the first to take an in-depth look at the
neuronal processing strategies that underlie the brain's ability to
analyze and use optic flow for the control of self-motion. It does
so in a variety of species which use optic flow in different
behavioral contexts. The spectrum ranges from flying insects to
birds, higher mammals and man. The contributions cover
physiological and behavioral studies as well as computational
models. Neuronal Processing of Optic Flow provides an authoritative
and comprehensive overview of the current state of research on this
topic written by a group of authors who have made essential
contributions to shaping this field of research over the last ten
years.
Key Features
* Provides the first detailed overview of the analysis of complex
visual motion patterns in the brain
* Includes physiological, behavioral, and computational aspects of
optic flow processing
* Highlights similarities and differences between different animal
species and behavioral tasks
* Covers human patients with visual motion deficits
* Enhances the reader's understanding with many illustrations
Corneal Cross-Linking, Second Edition represents an innovative
approach to treating primary acquired and secondary induced ectatic
disorders. In addition, corneal cross-linking (CXL) has promising
applications as an alternative in the treatment of corneal
infectious and non-infectious melting, as well as conditions such
as Fuchs' endothelial dystrophy. The new and expanded Second
Edition of Corneal Cross-Linking by Drs. Farhad Hafezi and J.
Bradley Randleman will provide a concise yet comprehensive summary
of the CXL process, including the basic science foundations,
treatment protocols and outcomes, recognition and management of
potential complications, and modification of standard protocol for
special circumstances. Given all the changes in this rapidly
progressing field, many brief topics from the first edition have
now grown into full chapters or sections. These include expanded
sections on alternative treatment protocols, corneal imaging and
biomechanics, combing cross-linking with other refractive
treatments, and a section devoted specifically to the most highly
debated controversies in the field today. With each chapter being
fully updated plus including over twenty new chapters that covers
the latest advances and future directions, Corneal Cross-Linking,
Second Edition represents the cutting-edge of CXL research and
clinical practice. "Since the publication of the first edition of
this book in 2013, our knowledge of corneal cross-linking has again
significantly increased, both scientifically and clinically. Today,
concise recommendations (guidelines for cross-linking) help the
clinician to select the patients, make decisions, and provide
optimal treatment" -Eberhard Spoerl, PhD and Theo Seiler, MD, PhD

The theme and scope of the Chronology focus on the life (in bare
outline) and publications (in temporal order) of John Ruskin
(1819-1900). As art-critic, social commentator, architectural
scholar, geologist, botanist, water-colourist, lecturer,
letter-writer and prose stylist, Ruskin stands forth as perhaps the
pre-eminent Victorian polymath. His advocacy of art and artists,
his courage in the face of hostile, uninformed criticism and his
enlightened compassionate views of the human condition reveal
Ruskin as 'not of an age but for all time'. These attributes the
Chronology endeavours to suggest.
This book was conceived as a means of learning by inquiring-self
testing carried out conscientiously is an effective way of
acquiring knowledge. A wrongly answered question should stimulate
the examinee to return to his books to discover the correct answer,
although it should be noted that in a number of cases we have
annotated brief comments. We hope the book will be of benefit to a
number of learners in otolaryngology: medical students, house
officers and nurses under going post-basic training. We hope also
that it may help general practitioner trainees, for whom
otolaryngology presents a significant workload. We recognise that
this book must be complementary to standard textbooks but our
aspirations remain that the student will gain even greater benefit
from his efforts by spending some time in self assessment.

From the US to Nepal, author J. Bradley Wigger travels five
countries on three continents to hear children describe their
invisible friends-one-hundred-year-old robins and blue dogs,
dinosaurs and teapots, pretend families and shape-shifting
aliens-companions springing from the deep well of childhood
imagination. Drawing on these interviews, as well as a new wave of
developmental research, he finds a fluid and flexible quality to
the imaginative mind that is central to learning, co-operation, and
paradoxically, to real-world rationality. Yet Wigger steps beyond
psychological territory to explore the religious significance of
the kind of mind that develops relationships with invisible beings.
Alongside Cinderella the blue dog, Quack-Quack the duck, and Dino
the dinosaur are angels, ancestors, spirits, and gods. What he
uncovers is a profound capacity in the religious imagination to see
through the surface of reality to more than meets the eye.
Punctuated throughout by children's colorful drawings of their
see-through interlocutors, the book is highly engaging and
alternately endearing, moving, and humorous. Not just for parents
or for those who work with children, Invisible Companions will
appeal to anyone interested in our mind's creative and spiritual
possibilities.
