Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not
used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad
quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are
images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to
keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the
original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain
imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made
available for future generations to enjoy.
This book illustrates a journey through Amberdale, as it might have
been in the 1890s. Encompassing a wide variety of scene, Amberdale
is nevertheless the smallest of the dales-by far, for Amberdale is
a model, dreamt up in the mind of its creator and built over a
period of some 60 years. Following the river and the railway
through the dale, the pictures bring to life the half forgotten age
of the horse and the steam engine, the unspoiled countryside, the
quiet charm of the villages, the bustle of a market town and the
industrial urgency of late Victorian England. The book describes an
extensive and impressive model, yet emphasises that it is not
dependant on particular modelling skills or extensive academic
research, but on imagination and enthusiasm. It suggests an
adventure of any extent open to anyone, and it is hoped that the
pictures will entertain and inspire those who build models and.
those who do not. The trains wind through the valley, the trams
rattle along the streets, the mill wheel turns under the elms....
Welcome to Amberdale.
Basing his proposal on plans developed by New Deal social
welfare administrators, Harvey analyzes the feasibility and
desirability of using public sector job creation to secure a right
to employment. He shows that such a policy would provide more
effective relief from the problems of poverty and unemployment than
do existing arrangements while permitting a major expansion in the
production of public goods and services without increasing tax
burdens. The economic side-effects and administrative problems
associated with the policy are carefully explored and found
manageable. Finally, the book concludes with an assessment of the
political interests that stand in the way of policy initiatives
like the one proposed.

Although it has been known for 100 years that cognitive functioning is impaired in schizophrenia, the implications of this impairment have only recently been clearly understood. While in the past, cognitive deficits were thought to be the result of other aspects of the illness, such as poor co- operation, or as a result of the treatment of the illness, it is now known that these factors exert only a very minor influence on cognitive deficit. This book, with contributions from the major international names in the field, reviews the most recent research on the impairment of cognitive functioning in schizophrenia, covering: what it is, how wide-ranging it can be, what the clinical implications are, and how it can be treated? The book is divided into three sections. The first section provides background information on the important aspects of cognitive functioning in schizophrenia. The second section provides information on the correlates of cognitive functioning, examining classical symptoms of the illness, as well as social and adaptive functional deficits. The final section provides information on the treatment of cognitive functioning in schizophrenia, from the older less effective treatments with conventional antipsychotics, to the developing treatment strategies using experimental compounds. A clear insight into cognitive deficit is the key to understanding why previous treatments have failed, and the key by which new treatments may change this terrible illness, treatments significantly more effective than earlier interventions.
