Our thought lives have incredible power over our mental, emotional, and
even physical well-being. In fact, our thoughts can either limit us to
what we believe we can do or release us to experience abilities well
beyond our expectations. When we choose a mindset that extends our
abilities rather than placing limits on ourselves, we will experience
greater intellectual satisfaction, emotional control, and physical
health. The only question is . . . how?
Backed by up-to-date scientific research and biblical insight, Dr.
Caroline Leaf empowers readers to take control of their thoughts in
order to take control of their lives. In this practical book, readers
will learn to use
- The 5-step Switch on Your Brain Learning Program, to build
memory and learn effectively
- The Gift Profile, to discover the unique way they process
information
- The Mindfulness Guide, to optimize their thought life and
find their inner resilience
Dr. Leaf shows readers how to combine these powerful tools in order to
improve memory, learning, cognitive and intellectual performance, work
performance, physical performance, relationships, emotional health, and
most importantly a meaningful life well lived.
Each of us has significant psychological resources at our fingertips
that we can use in order to improve our overall well-being. Dr. Leaf
shows us how to harness those resources to unlock our hidden potential.
There are a lot of personality and intelligence tests out there designed to label you and put you in a particular box. But Dr. Caroline Leaf says there's much more to you than a personality profile can capture. In fact, you cannot be categorized!
In this fascinating book, she takes readers through seven steps to rediscover and unlock their unique design--the brilliantly original way each person thinks, feels, relates, and makes choices--freeing them from comparison, envy, and jealousy, which destroy brain tissue. Readers learn to be aware of what's going on in their own minds and bodies, to lean in to their own experience rather than trying to forcefully change it, and to redefine what success means to them. Released from the suffocating box of expectations, they'll embrace their true identity and develop a clear sense of divine purpose in their lives.
Knowing and understanding our identity empowers our choices. Unlocking one's you quotient is not optional--it is essential.
Flint knapping, which is the shaping of flint or other fracturing
stone to manufacture tools, was one of the primary skills used for
survival by our prehistoric ancestors. Early mankind once made and
used these implements on a daily basis to hunt, prepare food and
clothing, to farm, make shelters, and perform all the other tasks
required for Stone Age existence. A material that has been with us
since earliest times, flint still plays a part in our lives today:
it is used in cigarette, gas and barbeque lighters; in some parts
of Britain it is a major building material; and many of our beaches
have shingle which is just flint by another name. In this
informative and original guide, expert Robert Turner explains how
flint was used, what tools were made and what they were made for,
and provides detailed instruction of how to make them, enabling the
reader to replicate their own Stone Age toolkit. Illustrated
throughout, Flint Knapping is a journey of archaeological discovery
through the Palaeolithic, Mesolithic, Neolithic and Bronze Ages.

Unraveling the functional properties of structural elements in the
brain is one of the fundamental goals of neuroscientific research.
In the cerebral cortex this is no mean feat, since cortical areas
are defined microstructurally in post-mortem brains but
functionally in living brains with electrophysiological or
neuroimaging techniques - and cortical areas vary in their
topographical properties across individual brains. Being able to
map both microstructure and function in the same brains
noninvasively in vivo would represent a huge leap forward. In
recent years, high-field magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)
technologies with spatial resolution below 0.5 mm have set the
stage for this by detecting structural differences within the human
cerebral cortex, beyond the Stria of Gennari. This provides the
basis for an in vivo microanatomical brain map, with the enormous
potential to make direct correlations between microstructure and
function in living human brains. This book starts with Brodmann's
post-mortem map published in the early 20th century, moves on to
the almost forgotten microstructural maps of von Economo and
Koskinas and the Vogt-Vogt school, sheds some light on more recent
approaches that aim at mapping cortical areas noninvasively in
living human brains, and culminates with the concept of "in vivo
Brodmann mapping" using high-field MRI, which was introduced in the
early 21st century.

"Dost thou love life? Then do not squander time, for that's the
stuff life is made oj' Benjamin Franklin This book describes the
technical principles and applications of echo-planar imaging (EPI)
which, as much as any other technique, has shaped the develop ment
of modern magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). The principle of EPI,
namely, the acquisition of multiple nuclear magnetic resonance
echoes from a single spin excitation, has made it possible to
shorten the previously time-con suming MRI data acquisition from
minutes to much less than a second. Interest ingly, EPI is one of
the oldest MRI techniques, conceived in 1976 by Sir Peter Mansfield
only 4 years after the initial description of the principles of
MRI. One of the inventors of MRI himself, Mansfield realized that
fast data acquisition would be paramount in bringing medical
applications of MRI to full fruition. The technological challenges
in implementing EPI, however, were formidable. Until the end of the
1980s few people believed that EPI would be clinically useful,
since its complexity was far greater than that of "conventional"
MRI methods."
This is the first volume of a new prose translation of Dante's epic - the first in twenty-five years. Robert Durling's translation brings a new power and accuracy to the rendering of Dante's extraordinary vision of Hell. A newly edited version of the Italian text can be found on facing pages, and this edition includes fully comprehensive notes as well as sixteen essays on special subjects.
Cultural neuroscience and global mental health is an
interdisciplinary field of study that integrates theoretical,
methodological, and empirical approaches in cultural neuroscience
to address the major challenges in global mental health. The field
is concerned with identifying the root causes, risks, and
preventative factors in global mental health, with a view to
improving and achieving health equity for all people across the
world. The Oxford Handbook of Cultural Neuroscience and Global
Mental Health is the first ever comprehensive overview of this
field. It explores how culture can influence the neurobiological
mechanisms underlying mental health. The book is divided into 5
parts: Part I introduces theoretical foundations in cultural
neuroscience and global mental health. The second part provides
reviews investigating the etiology of mental health disorders
across cultures. Part 3 discusses the societal and environmental
influences that affect prevention and early intervention in global
mental health. This is followed by a section examining strategies
for the improvement of treatment and expansion of access to care in
global mental health. The book ends with a review of the cultural
and socioeconomic factors that affect the prevalence of mental
disorders across ethnic groups. The book will be an essential
educational resource for both training and practising mental health
professionals, in addition to those in the fields of cultural
neuroscience and public health.
Driven by a down economy and difficult economic realities, many
organizations are discovering that what worked well in the past may
not be what is needed now to move forward or even survive. This
comprehensive and analytical resource draws comparisons between
practicing basic procurement and the more advanced modern
principles of strategic supply management, and clearly demonstrates
how merely practicing the basic procurement principles and methods
of the past in our new economy can lead to disastrous consequences.
This valuable guide shows readers how to attain best-in-class
supply management performance to help ensure survival and achieve
competitive advantage. For the individuals in the trenches actually
doing the work, it shows why strategic supply management and
procurement practices are important to their jobs, why and how to
use them, and what benefits can be derived from using them. Supply
Management and Procurement: From the Basics to Best-in-Class
contains proven tools and techniques and a wealth of information
that procurement and supply management professionals at any level
can use to improve both their organization's performance and their
individual performance in real-world situations they face on a
daily basis. This unique text is ideal for individual learning,
corporate training, and academic course instruction.
