This book addresses the relevance of the case study research
methodology for enhancing urban planning research and education in
Africa and the global South. It provides an introduction to the
case study methodology and features examples of its application to
planning research and education on the continent.
Published by Sinauer Associates, an imprint of Oxford University
Press. The Mind's Machine, introduced in 2012, was written to
impart the core concepts of behavioral neuroscience to students in
a diverse range of disciplines, including not only psychology and
the other life sciences, but art, philosophy, media studies,
linguistics, and the like. Through the use of streamlined text,
full-color art, novel pedagogical features, and real-life examples
and analogies, the book succeeded in engaging students new to
neuroscience without sacrificing accuracy. Put to the test by
faculty and students, The Mind's Machine proved itself to be
accessible and reader-friendly-not to mention affordably priced-and
the Second Edition is no less so. If you are teaching a brain and
behavior, biopsychology, or physiological psychology course, you
will want to consider this book!
Swathed in mist, surrounded by the secretive sea, wind wailing
like the lost souls of sailors around its shores, Prince Edward
Island is the ideal setting for the strange and incredible, even
the supernatural. Islanders have handed down, from one generation
to the next, legends and ghost stories: tales of phantom ships,
Indian curses, buried pirate treasure, sea serpents, and ghostly
apparitions.
In this book, Julie Watson has collected a wealth of "true
tales"; many were told to her by those who experienced them, or
knew someone who did. Others are culled from old newspapers and
books; to add to their charm, the author has copied these exactly
as written, including the sometimes quaint spelling and
punctuation. And, strange as most of these stories are, who dares
to doubt the veracity of the sailors who met a phantom schooner,
the fishermen who fled a sea monster, or the countless Islanders
who have dug for pirate gold, only to be terrified by something
uncanny, into abandoning their search?
Perhaps you will visit West Point Lighthouse in the dark of the
moon, or watch the drowned spectre of Holland Cove, trailing
sea-water across the floor, or, like the doomed Peter McIntyre,
venture into the cemetery at Scotch Fort at night, never to
return.
On the other hand, you can curl up with this book on a dark
night and find yourself transported into the haunting legends,
delightful yarns, and spine-tingling ghost stories of the magical
and mysterious Prince Edward Island.

For over 20 years, Breedlove & Watson's Behavioral Neuroscience
has successfully presented the most current research through an
engaging narrative, strong clinical examples, an exceptional visual
approach to the content, and an authoritative introduction to the
field. Written for the first course in biopsychology and
neuroscience, Behavioral Neuroscience 10th Edition by Marc
Breedlove and Neil Watson provides a strong foundation for
understanding neural functioning and brain-behavior relations.
Using stellar examples of today's most exciting research, an
unparalleled art program that clarifies complex biological
processes, and visual summaries that remind students of the
principle findings presented in each chapter, Behavioral
Neuroscience helps introductory neuroscience and behavioral
neuroscience understand the dynamic and exciting field of
neuroscience. Behavorial Neuroscience is available with Oxford
Insight. Oxford Insight pairs best-in-class OUP content with
curated media resources, activities, and gradable assessment, in a
guided learning environment that delivers performance analytics,
drives student engagement, and improves student outcomes.
Flow cytometry is now well established in research laboratories and
is gaining increasing use in clinical medicine and pathology. The
technique enables multiple simultaneous light scatter and
fluorescence measurements to be made at the individual cell level
at very rapid rates and results in very large quantities of data
being collected. Data, however, is just a series of numbers which
have to be converted to information which, in turn, must be shown
to have meaning. This is the most important single aspect of flow
cytometry but it has received relatively little attention. One of
the frequently voiced advantages of the technology is that it
produces 'good statistics' because large numbers of cells have been
analysed. However, it is not very often that confidence limits are
placed on results, hence the reader has little or no feel for the
inherent variability in the information produced. This book covers
very basic number handling techniques, regression analysis,
probability functions, statistical tests and methods of analysing
dynamic processes. All those who use flow cytometry in their
research will find this book an invaluable guide to interpreting
the data produced by flow cytometers.
