In 2016, the Janeway Childrens Health and Rehabilitation Centre -- "The Janeway" to most -- celebrated 50 years of operation. For 43 of those years, Dr Rick Cooper has been a paediatrician at the hospital, helping thousands of sick children from across Newfoundland and Labrador. This book peels back the hospital curtains and peeks through the ward doors, introducing readers to the many people who have worked at this unique hospital. It also delves into the fight to build the original Janeway at a time of bleak provincial finances, and follows its evolution into a leading modern teaching hospital, responsible for elevating the standard of health care up to or surpassing national levels.

High school teacher David Talbot's emotionally-troubled wife Amanda has kicked him out of their farmhouse. Sleep deprived, living in a rat hole apartment, separated from his two precious young daughters, he is about to lose his mind. David's troubles are compounded after his best friend Steven is killed in a mysterious car crash. When David begins to ask questions about the bizarre circumstances surrounding Stevens' death, his own life and the lives of his children are threatened. Just when he thinks things cannot get worse, he is accused of a crime he did not commit. By the time he figures out that all of these events are linked, it may be too late to avert a tragedy with world-wide ramifications.

Wren Thorpe is smitten by Leah Glover, the beautiful and mysterious new transfer student to his high school. When she reluctantly tells him that she is being abused, his hero complex kicks in. The fact that Wren is practically raising himself--his father is a drunkard and his mother, desperate to recapture her stolen youth, goes on a dating spree--makes him even more eager to rescue the troubled young girl. Unfortunately, Leah has a reputation for telling outlandish stories and outright lies. When she informs him that her abuser is her stepfather--a decorated police officer with near-saint status in the community--Wren is faced with a gut-wrenching dilemma. Does he believe the girl he has fallen in love with or the man who has become more of a father to him than his real father ever was? Figuring out the truth will bring deadly consequences. This young adult novel combines romance, suspense, danger and heroism in a way that will appeal to both males and females.

Brain imaging has been immensely valuable in showing us how the mind works. However, many of our ideas about how the mind works come from disciplines like experimental psychology, artificial intelligence and linguistics, which in their modern form date back to the computer revolution of the 1940s, and are not strongly linked to the subdisciplines of biomedicine. Cognitive science and neuroscience thus have very separate intellectual roots, and very different styles. Unfortunately, these two areas of knowledge have not been well integrated as far as higher mental processes are concerned. So how can these two be reconciled in order to develop a full understanding of the mind and brain? This is the focus of this landmark book from leaders in the field. Coming more than two decades after Shallice's classic 'From neuropsychology to mental structure', 'The Organisation of Mind' establishes a strong historical, empirical, and theoretical basis for cognitive neuroscience. The book starts by reviewing the history and intellectual roots of the field, looking at some of the researchers who guided and influenced it. The basic principles - theoretical and empirical and the inferential relation between them - are then considered with particular emphasis being placed on inferences to the organisation of the cognitive system from two empirical methodologies - neuropsychology and functional imaging. The core skeleton of the cognitive system is then analysed for the areas most critical for understanding rational thought. In the third section the components of simple cognitive acts are described, namely semantic processing, working memory, and cognitive operations. In the final section, more complex higher-level modulating processes are considered, including, supervisory processing, episodic memory, consciousness and problem-solving. This will be a seminal publication on the interface between the brain sciences and the cognitive sciences and essential reading for all students and researchers in related fields.
