Virtual palaeontology, the use of interactive three-dimensional digital models as a supplement or alternative to physical specimens for scientific study and communication, is rapidly becoming important to advanced students and researchers. Using non-invasive techniques, the method allows the capture of large quantities of useful data without damaging the fossils being studied

"Techniques for Virtual Palaeontology" guides palaeontologists through the decisions involved in designing a virtual palaeontology workflow and gives a comprehensive overview, providing discussions of underlying theory, applications, historical development, details of practical methodologies, and case studies. Techniques covered include physical-optical tomography (serial sectioning), focused ion beam tomography, all forms of X-ray CT, neutron tomography, magnetic resonance imaging, optical tomography, laser scanning, and photogrammetry. Visualization techniques and data/file formats are also discussed in detail.

This is the first book devoted to the multidisciplinary study of feedback. It presents a comprehensive, evidence-based review of the make-or-break factors that determine the efficacy of criticism, praise, and advice. Its sections deal with fundamental processes of feedback; the problems associated with delivering feedback across social divides such as race; feedback in organizational settings; feedback in the helping professions; and feedback in personal relationships. With engaging and accessible contributions from leading scholars in communication, management, and social, clinical, and educational psychology, the editors conclude with an insightful synthesis of the chapters, extracting how-to principles of feedback that apply across environments and circumstances. A landmark in the study of feedback, the book stakes a claim for the recognition of the topic as a field of enquiry in its own right. Feedback will appeal to scholars and practitioners as a comprehensive review of the state of play in this field; it is also appropriate for use as a text for students in a range of disciplines including communication, psychology, management, health sciences, and counseling.

This book provides a clinically useful resource for evaluation and management of the symptoms and issues that burden survivors of breast cancer. Improvements to breast cancer screening and treatment have resulted in more patients than ever before having been cured after local definitive and systemic therapies. Primary care providers and specialists must be increasingly familiar with the issues that breast cancer survivors routinely face. This is the first book to provide a single resource for common issues faced by breast cancer survivors from a truly multidisciplinary perspective; each chapter of this text is coauthored by at least one oncologist and one specialist outside the field of oncology in order to include the perspectives of relevant disciplines. User-friendly and clinically applicable to all specialties, individual chapters also include tables and figures that describe how best to conduct initial evaluation of the given symptom as well as an algorithm, where applicable, outlining the optimal management approach. Common Issues in Breast Cancer Survivors: A Practical Guide to Evaluation and Management empowers non-cancer specialists and practitioners who care for breast cancer survivors to address common issues that impact patient quality of life.

Whilst this work holds a message specifically for those in the Fashion Industry, Designers, Architects, Retailers, Psychologists and other professionals, it is principally written as a step-by-step guide for the individual in how to use their own senses and responses, enabling these to become the more primary means determining interaction with the world of materials. The year is 2013. Man as a general species has not yet developed to working primarily by way of the senses and responses. This remains a time when the senses are not just unappreciated in their value to mankind, but general knowledge of the 'X-sensory response system' (X-system) and how to access it is sparsely present amid the society of the day. Shaun Sutton, a practitioner of Traditional East Asian Medicine and acupuncturist based in London, uncovers the significance of the 'X-system' by beginning with his trousers, to question how he interacted with the materials, foods and life of the day. This uncut edition of Shaun's original manuscript instigates personal exploration into a world he describes as 'sense and response friendly'. By way of his own experiences, Shaun documents the challenges in coming to terms with a fresh life view, defined through how he responds to the world, with inspiration from Frankfurt in Germany, Japan, Canada, the USA, his local park and back garden.
