Teaching Gradually is a guide for anyone new to teaching and
learning in higher education. Written for graduate student
instructors, by graduate students with substantive teaching
experience, this resource is among the first of its kind to speak
to graduate students as comrades-in-arms with voices from alongside
them in the trenches, rather than from far behind the lines. Each
author featured in this book was a graduate student at the time
they wrote their contribution. Consequently, the following chapters
give scope to a newer, diverse generation of educators who are
closer in experience and professional age to the book's intended
audience. The tools, methods, and ideas discussed here are ones
that the authors have found most useful in teaching today's
students. Each chapter offers a variety of strategies for
successful classroom practices that are often not explicitly
covered in graduate training.Overall, this book consists of 42
chapters written by 51 authors who speak from a vast array of
backgrounds and viewpoints, and who represent abroad spectrum of
experience spanning small, large, public, and private institutions
of higher education. Each chapter offers targeted advice that
speaks to the learning curve inherent to early-career teaching,
while presenting tangible strategies that readers can leverage to
address the dynamic professional landscape they inhabit. The
contributors' stories and reflections provide the context to build
the reader's confidence in trying new approaches in their his or
her teaching. This book covers a wide range of topics designed to
appeal to graduate student instructors across disciplines, from
those teaching discussion sections, to those managing studio
classes and lab sessions, to those serving as the instructor of
record for their own course. Despite the medley of content, two
common threads run throughout this volume: a strong focus on
diversity and inclusion, and an acknowledgment of the increasing
shift to online teaching. As a result of engaging with Teaching
Gradually, readers will be able to: Identify best teaching
practices to enhance student learning. Develop a plan to implement
these strategies in their teaching. Expand their conception of
contexts in which teaching and learning can take place. Evaluate
and refine their approaches to fostering inclusion in and out of
the classroom. Assess student learning and the efficacy of their
own teaching practices. Practice professional self-reflection.

Providing a comprehensive framework for the broad subject of human
sexuality, this two-volume set offers a context of historical
development, scientific discovery, and sociopolitical and
sociocultural movements. The broad topic of sex—encompassing
subjects as varied as sexuality, sexual and gender identity,
abortion, and such crimes as sexual assault—is one of the most
controversial in American society today. This two-volume
encyclopedic set provides readers with more than 450 entries on the
subject, offering a comprehensive overview of major sexuality
issues in American and global culture. Themes that run throughout
the volumes include sexual health and reproduction, sexual identity
and orientation, sexual behaviors and expression, the history of
sex and sexology, and sex and society. Entries cover a breadth of
subjects, such as the major contributors to the field of sexology;
the biological, psychological, and cultural dimensions of sex and
sexuality; and how the modern-day political climate and the
government play a major role in determining attitudes and beliefs
about sex. Written in clear, jargon-free language, this set is
ideal for students as well as general readers.
Open Distributed Processing contains the selected proceedings of
the Third International Conference on Open Distributed Systems,
organized by the International Federation for Information
Processing and held in Brisbane, Australia, in February 1995. The
book deals with the interconnectivity problems that advanced
computer networking raises, providing those working in the area
with the most recent research, including security and management
issues.
Tran Duc Thao, a wise and learned scientist and an eminent Marxist
philoso pher, begins this treatise on the origins of language and
consciousness with a question: "One of the principal difficulties
of the problem of the origin of consciousness is the exact
determination of its beginnings. Precisely where must one draw the
line between the sensori-motor psychism of animals and the
conscious psychism that we see developing in man?" And then he
cites Karl Marx's famous passage about 'the bee and the architect'
from Capital: ... what distinguishes the worst architect from the
best of bees is this, that the architect raises his structure in
the imagination before he erects it in reality. At the end of every
labor process, we get a result that already existed in the
imagination of the laborer at its commencement. (Capital, Vol. I,
p. 178, tr. Moore and Aveling) Thao follows this immediately with a
second question: "But is this the most elementary form of
consciousness?" Thus the conundrum concerning the origins of
consciousness is posed as a circle: if human consciousness pre
supposes representation (of the external reality, of mental
awareness, of actions, of what it may), and if this consciousness
emerges first with the activity of production using tools, and if
the production of tools itself pre supposes representation - that
is, with an image of what is to be produced in the mind of the
producer - then the conditions for the origins of human"

The crimson thread noted in the title of this book aptly describes
the nature of Teriyama’s stories and the interstitial webbing
joining them together thematically by the metaphorical twisting
together of unrequited love, abandonment, irremediable separation,
and disappointment. Told in the manner of fantasy and magic
realism, the stories are populated with characters who face the
vagaries of fortune, happiness always just out of their reach.
Terayama is a realist speaking through the medium of fantasy. The
stories are “tales for adults”, and indeed they are written in
such a way as to mimic and sometimes parody classic fairy tale
style. Yet, these tales are far from traditional in content;
rather, they turn our conventional thinking and expectations upside
down. This topsy-turvy world of Terayama is unsettling and
disconcerting at times, but his world is, without a doubt, thought
provoking.
This ambitious and important second edition of the Handbook of
Medical Neuropsychology takes an in-depth approach to the medical
conditions and methods of neurorehabilitation. Comprehensive in
scope and highly detailed in its coverage, the second edition, like
the first, characterizes the effects of disease and the impact of
interventions in the current state of advanced medicine at a level
appropriate both for researchers and for clinicians. Featuring the
most up-to-date information and quantitative research on cognitive
neuroscience of autism, HIV/AIDS, cancer, head injury, respiratory
diseases, endocrine diseases, early birth injury, dementia, and
other disorders, the book handles theory, historical background,
practical considerations, and controversial areas with evidence
based disease indicators, clinical expertise, and real-world
insight. It seeks to critique diagnostic and assessment tools
specific to disorders. The new chapters in this inclusive second
edition reflect the changes in prominent problems found in the
clinic and provide worthy insights for research investigation in
their review of: Substance use disorders. Nutrition in
neurocognition and mental health. Hypothyroidism and Hashimoto's
thyroiditis. Traumatic brain injury in very early childhood.
Cognitive functioning in asthma. The role of mindfulness in
neurorehabilitation. The Handbook of Medical Neuropsychology, 2nd
Edition continues to be an essential resource for the
neuropsychology clinician, researcher, practitioner or graduate
student. It will be stimulating and relevant reading for years to
come.

This handbook celebrates the abundantly productive interaction of
neuropsychology and medicine. This interaction can be found in both
clinical settings and research l- oratories, often between research
teams and clinical practitioners. It accounts for the rapidity with
which awareness and understanding of the neuropsychological com-
nents of many common medical disorders have recently advanced. The
introduction of neuropsychology into practice and research
involving conditions without obvious neurological components
follows older and eminently successful models of integrated care
and treatment of the classical brain disorders. In the last 50
years, with the growing understanding of neurological disorders,
neuropsychologists and medical specialists in clinics, at bedside,
and in laboratories together have contributed to important clinical
and scienti c advances in the und- standing of the common
pathological conditions of the brain: stroke, trauma, epilepsy,
certain movement disorders, tumor, toxic conditions (mostly
alcohol-related), and degenerative brain diseases. It is not
surprising that these seven pathological con- tions were the rst to
receive attention from neuropsychologists as their behavioral
symptoms can be both prominent and debilitating, often with serious
social and economic consequences.
