The student workbook contains detailed, interactive exercises,
designed to reinforce learning and increase student comprehension.
This textbook presents quantum mechanics at the junior/senior
undergraduate level. It is unique in that it describes not only
quantum theory, but also presents five laboratories that explore
truly modern aspects of quantum mechanics. These laboratories
include "proving" that light contains photons, single-photon
interference, and tests of local realism. The text begins by
presenting the classical theory of polarization, moving on to
describe the quantum theory of polarization. Analogies between the
two theories minimize conceptual difficulties that students
typically have when first presented with quantum mechanics.
Furthermore, because the laboratories involve studying photons,
using photon polarization as a prototypical quantum system allows
the laboratory work to be closely integrated with the coursework.
Polarization represents a two-dimensional quantum system, so the
introduction to quantum mechanics uses two-dimensional state
vectors and operators. This allows students to become comfortable
with the mathematics of a relatively simple system, before moving
on to more complicated systems. After describing polarization, the
text goes on to describe spin systems, time evolution, continuous
variable systems (particle in a box, harmonic oscillator, hydrogen
atom, etc.), and perturbation theory. The book also includes
chapters which describe material that is frequently absent from
undergraduate texts: quantum measurement, entanglement, quantum
field theory and quantum information. This material is connected
not only to the laboratories described in the text, but also to
other recent experiments. Other subjects covered that do not often
make their way into undergraduate texts are coherence,
complementarity, mixed states, the density operator and coherent
states. Supplementary material includes further details about
implementing the laboratories, including parts lists and software
for running the experiments. Computer simulations of some of the
experiments are available as well. A solutions manual for
end-of-chapter problems is available to instructors.
Contains detailed interactive exercises such as fill-in-the-blank
and matching, designed to reinforce learning and increase student
comprehension. This workbook has been updated to reflect changes to
Theory & Practice of Therapeutic Massage, 6th edition
(Spanish).
Theory and Practice of Therapeutic Massage, 5th edition is the
classic text in the massage industry including the essential
knowledge and skills needed to become a successful, professional
massage therapist, plus the essentials of anatomy and physiology.
Essential topics to the industry such as ethics, hygiene,
communication skills, and body mechanics are discussed. Full-color
illustrations and photographs clearly illustrate techniques and
procedures. Classical massage is expanded with clinical techniques
including neuromuscular and myofascial techniques, and lymph
massage, combined to better serve the client by following
therapeutic procedures. Numerous career tracts are explored
including massage in a spa environment and athletic massage. A new
chapter discusses massage for special populations including
pre-natal, infant, elder, critically ill, people with cancer, and
hospice. The final chapter has been revised to cover business
practices for finding employment or successful self-employment.
The Student CD-ROM is an invaluable resource to supplement a
students' current cosmetology curriculum. Helpful video clips,
demonstrating proper practice and procedures help the student
review proper techniques, and behaviors that they have learned in
the classroom. The CD-ROM also contains a randomized testbank
unique to the tool to help the student review for their licensure
examination. A games section is included to create an entertaining
form of education with word and image scrambles, hang man, and
other games. To reinforce terminology and pronunciation, an audio
glossary is also included with terms from the textbook.
This exam review offers students a fast and convenient way to
prepare for licensing exams. It contains chapter-by-chapter
questions in a multiple-choice format to help students prepare for
their state board exams. The answer key at the back of the book
allows students to check accuracy and identify weak areas.
This is the primary instructor resource to Theory and Practice of
Therapeutic Massage. It contains all of the tools educators need to
make teaching exceptional and easy as well as facilitate strong
classroom management. This will dramatically increase student
interest and understanding.
