The best of contemporary nature writing from the winners of the
inaugural international Nature Chronicles Prize. The Nature
Chronicles Prize is a new biennial, international, English-language
literary award founded to celebrate engaging, unique, essay-length
non-fiction that responds to the time we are in and the world as it
is. Conceived in 2020 to mark the global pandemic, the prize is
also a memorial to Prudence Scott, a lifelong nature diarist who
died in 2019. Contained within this volume are the outstanding
shortlisted entries for the inaugural prize. These winning works
express diverse responses to our planet and its life, and together
embody the best of contemporary nature writing, whether by emerging
or established authors. The anthology is introduced by bestselling
nature writer Kathryn Aalto, who was one of the prize judges.
In the World Library of Psychologists series, international experts
present career-long collections of what they judge to be their
finest pieces - extracts from books, key articles, salient research
findings, and their major practical theoretical contributions.
Elaine Funnell has played an important role in the study of
neuropsychology over the past 25 years. She has been at the
forefront of groundbreaking research on individuals suffering with
acquired disorders of written and/or spoken language resulting from
brain damage. With commentary by Nicola Pitchford and Andrew Ellis,
this volume presents Elaine's most significant contributions in her
two main specialist areas: adult neuropsychology of semantic
disorders, with a focus on disorders of naming in dementia, and
acquired language and literacy disorders in childhood. The
publications included in this volume date back to 1988, where
Elaine co-authored a major review of theories regarding the
representation of meanings in the mind and brain. They then bring
us right up-to-date with a previously unpublished paper from 2010,
which has been recently edited by the co-author, Mike Kopelman, for
this edition. Through her exceptional work, Elaine has greatly
advanced our understanding of the brain processes behind written
and spoken language, and this book represents an original and
timely contribution to the field. Acquired Language Disorders in
Adulthood and Childhood will be of great interest to researchers
and postgraduate students in adult and child neuropsychology,
specifically for those specialising in semantic and language
disorders.
