This landmark text integrates diverse perspectives on how humans
understand others' minds (or 'theory of mind') beyond early
childhood into middle childhood and adolescence. It explores how
the neural, cognitive, and social changes of middle childhood and
adolescence shape the ongoing development of theory of mind, and
how theory of mind helps children navigate their lives. Drawing on
cutting-edge research from leading international experts, this book
provides a survey and analysis of the current state and future
direction of the field. It is organized around three themes
relating to the key issues in contemporary research. The first part
focuses on the biological and cognitive bases of theory of mind in
middle childhood and adolescence. The second part goes on to
explore the social predictors and consequences, considering how
theory of mind is shaped by social experiences and, in turn,
impacts children's social lives in middle childhood and
adolescence. Finally, the third part focuses on theory of mind in
the context of neurodiversity, disability, and youth mental health
in middle childhood and adolescence. Offering in-depth
understanding for all students and scholars of developmental and
cognitive psychology, neuroscience, clinical psychology and
psychiatry, and education, this valuable text also identifies an
agenda for future scholarship on this exciting topic.
Received to wide acclaim when first published in the 1990s, this
absorbing book remains one of the most important, influential and
widely read histories of the Scottish Highlands from the end of the
Jacobite Risings to the great crofters' rebellion of the 1880s. T.
M. Devine argues that the Highlands in the eighteenth and
nineteenth centuries saw the wholesale transformation of a society
at a pace without parallel anywhere else in western Europe. This is
an important book for all those interested in the history of the
Scottish Highlands and Islands, and for students and scholars of
Scottish history, social history and rural society. -- .

This book brings to life for the first time the remarkable story of
James Taylor, 'father of the Ceylon tea enterprise' in the
nineteenth century. Publicly celebrated in Sri Lanka for his
efforts in transforming the country's economy and shaping the
world's drinking habits, Taylor died in disgrace and remains
unknown to the present day in his native Scotland. Using a unique
archive of Taylor's letters written over a forty-year period,
Angela McCarthy and Tom Devine provide an unusually detailed
reconstruction of a British planter's life in Asia at the high noon
of empire. As well as charting the development of Ceylon's key
commodities in the nineteenth century, the book examines the dark
side of planting life including violence and conflict, oppression
and despair. A range of other fascinating themes are evocatively
examined, including graphic depictions of the Indian Mutiny, 'race'
and ethnicity, migration, environmental transformation,
cross-cultural contact, and emotional ties to home. -- .

This Is A New Release Of The Original 1912 Edition.
China is the world's largest agricultural economy and the leading
producer and consumer of many agricultural commodities. In recent
years, its massive population and tremendous income growth have
fuelled a rapid increase in both the quantity and quality of food
and fibre consumed. While China has met much of its needs by
increasing domestic production, it has also emerged as a leading
global importer of several agricultural commodities, including
cotton, soy beans, vegetable oils, and hides and skins. China's
increase in imports has benefited its trade partners significantly,
but only for a narrow range of products. This book provides
information and analysis regarding the conditions of competition in
China's agricultural market and trade and their effects on U.S.
agricultural exports.
