This volume highlights the remarkable new developments in brain
imaging, including those that apply magnetic resonance imaging
(MRI) and Positron Emission Tomography (PET), that allow us to non
invasively study the living human brain in health and in disease.
These technological advances have allowed us to obtain new and
powerful insights into the structure and function of the healthy
brain as it develops across the life cycle, as well as the
molecular make up of brain systems and circuits as they develop and
change with age. New brain imaging technologies have also given us
new insights into the causes of many common brain disorders,
including ADHD, schizophrenia, depression and Alzheimer's disease,
which collectively affect a large segment of the population. These
new insights have major implications for understanding and treating
these brain disorders, and are providing clinicians with the first
ever set of biomarkers that can be used to guide diagnosis and
monitor treatment effects. The advances in brain imaging over the
last 20 years, summarized in this volume, represent a major advance
in modern biomedical sciences.

leaders in the development of PET and MRI methods as well as
clinical and translational researchers skilled in their use in
patients with brain disorders. Individual chapters of this volume
focus on the use of specific methodologies, covering the full range
of PET chemistry based approaches as well as MRI methods from
structural and diffusion tensor based imaging, to functional MRI of
functional brain circuitry, to pharmacological MRI and MRI
spectroscopic molecular imaging.
Carter explores early modern culture's reception of Ovid through
the manipulation of Ovidian myth by Shakespeare, Middleton,
Heywood, Marlowe and Marston. With a focus on sexual violence,
homosexuality, incest and idolatry, Carter analyses how depictions
of mythology represent radical ideas concerning gender and
sexuality.
Being audacious and adventurous can be inspiring, but is often submerged by concerns for comfort and security. The authors argue that to be successful in a more uncertain environment individuals and organizations need to adopt a more adventurous and audacious approach.
In America, lipstick is the foundation of empires; it's a signature
of identity; it's propaganda, self-expression, oppression, freedom,
and rebellion. It's a multi-billion-dollar industry and one of our
most iconic accessories of gender. This engaging and entertaining
history of lipstick in America throughout the twentieth century and
into the present will give readers a new view of the little tube's
big place in modern America; marching with the Suffragettes,
building Fortune 500 businesses, being present at Stonewall, and
engineered for space travel. Lipstick has served as both a witness
and a catalyst to history; it went to war with women, it gave women
of color previously unheard of business opportunities, and was part
of the development of celebrity and mass media. In the Twentieth
Century alone, lipstick evolved from the mark of the underclass, to
a required essential for well turned-out women; a sophisticated
statement about race, class, gender, consumerism, and sexuality.
How has this mainstay of the makeup kit remained relevant for over
a century? Beauty journalist Ilise S. Carter suggests that it's
because the simple lipstick says a lot. From the provocative allure
of a classic red lip to the subtle sophistication of a neutral to
the powerful statement of drag, the American love affair with
lipstick is linked to every aspect of the female experience, from
venturing into the working world or running for the presidency. Red
Menace will capture all of those dimensions, with a dishy dose of
fabulosity that makes it an amusing read for lipstick's fiercest
disciples, its harshest critics, and everyone in between.

Being audacious and adventurous can be inspiring, yet many of us
hesitate to follow this path because of our concerns for comfort
and security. In this bold book, Carter and Kourdi examine a
radical new approach to being successful. The authors argue that
success comes most easily to those who accept, and harness, the
beneficial effects of risk. Communicating simple but powerful ideas
with passion, this book guides individuals and organizations
through the techniques that will help them to become more vigorous,
motivated, effective and ultimately successful. Including original
interviews and insights from people that have used audacity to get
where they are, Road to Audacity shows why current approaches to
life and work are increasingly outmoded. This book is vital reading
for anyone who wants to make a success of their career, and their
life.
Co-authored by an interprofessional collaborative team of
physicians and nurses, Merenstein & Gardner's Handbook of
Neonatal Intensive Care, 9th Edition is the leading resource for
interprofessional, collaborative care of critically ill newborns.
It offers comprehensive coverage with a unique interprofessional
collaborative approach and a real-world perspective that make it a
practical guide for both nurses and physicians. The new ninth
edition features a wealth of expanded content on delivery-room
care; new evidence-based care "bundles"; palliative care in the
NICU; interprofessional collaborative care of parents with
depression, grief, and complicated grief; and new pain assessment
tools. Updated high-quality references have also been reintegrated
into the book, making it easier for clinicians to locate research
evidence and standards of care with minimal effort. These
additions, along with updates throughout, ensure that clinicians
are equipped with the very latest clinical care guidelines and
practice recommendations - all in a practical quick-reference
format for easy retrieval and review. UNIQUE! Core author team of
two physicians and two nurses gives this internationally recognized
reference a true interprofessional collaborative approach that is
