How Can the Human Mind Occur in the Physical Universe? 
Publisher: Oxford University Press | ISBN: 0195398955 | edition 2009 | PDF | 304 pages | 3,0 mb

The argument John Anderson gives in this book was inspired by the passage above, from the last lecture by one of the pioneers of cognitive science. Newell describes what, for him, is the pivotal question of scientific inquiry, and Anderson gives an answer that is emerging from the study of brain and behavior.

Cytology: Diagnostic Principles and Clinical Correlates, Expert Consult - Online and Print

Cytology: Diagnostic Principles and Clinical Correlates, Expert Consult - Online and Print
Publisher: Saunders | 2009 | ISBN: 1416053298 | Pages: 552 | PDF | 50,08 MB

It has been 5 years since the publication of the second edition of Cytology: Diagnostic Principles and Clinical Correlates. Since then, cytology has continued to grow and evolve as a subspecialty devoted to the diagnosis of cellular tissue obtained by minimally invasive methods (scraping, brushing, aspiration, etc.), and thus the need for this updated edition. But we have retained many of the qualities of the prior editions. As did the first two, this edition aims to be concise yet comprehensive. We have emphasized brevity and clarity. The text is grounded firmly in an understanding of surgical pathology and current diagnostic terminology. Where relevant, we have illustrated the value of established ancillary studies (e.g., flow cytometry and immunohistochemistry) as well as evolving techniques such as cytogenetics, which can be helpful in the diagnosis of certain lymphomas, soft tissue tumors, renal neoplasms, and mesothelioma.

The Hydrogen Bond and the Water Molecule: The Physics and Chemistry of Water, Aqueous and Bio-Media

The Hydrogen Bond and the Water Molecule: The Physics and Chemistry of Water, Aqueous and Bio-Media 
Publisher: Elsevier Science | ISBN: 0444519572 | edition 2007 | PDF | 333 pages | 12,7 mb

The Hydrogen Bond and the Water Molecule offers a synthesis of what is known and currently being researched on the topic of hydrogen bonds and water molecules. The most simple water molecular, H2O, is a fascinating but poorly understood molecule. Its unique ability to attract an exceptionally large number of hydrogen bonds induces the formation of a dense "hydrogen bond network" that has the potential to modify the properties of the surrounding molecules and their reactivities. The crucial role that water molecules play is described in this book.

Bioinformatics and the Cell

Bioinformatics and the Cell 
Publisher: Springer | ISBN: 0387713360 | edition 2007 | PDF | 363 pages | 4.4 mb

The many books that have been written on bioinformatics tend to fall on two extremes: books that feature computational details with a great deal of mathematics, for computational scientists and mathematicians, or books that treat bioinformatics mostly as a giant black box, for biologists. Previous books written on bioinformatics often have limited contribution to creating interdisciplinary scientists needed in modern biological and biomedical sciences.

Hearing, Second Edition: Anatomy, Physiology, and Disorders of the Auditory System

"Hearing, Second Edition: Anatomy, Physiology, and Disorders of the Auditory System" by Aage R. Moller
Academic Press | 328 pages | English | 2006 | ISBN: 0123725194 | PDF | 17,7 MB

Hearing: Anatomy, Physiology and Disorders of the Auditory System provides detailed information about the anatomy and physiology of the entire auditory system and it describes important aspects of disorders of the middle ear, the cochlea, and the nervous system in a comprehensive manner. Most other textbooks on Hearing are focused on either the periphery or the central nervous system and rarely integrate anatomy and physiology with clinical issues. In the past years, it has become apparent that pathologies of the peripheral parts of the auditory system affect the function of the nervous system, and vice versa. It is thus more and more important to view the peripheral and central parts of the auditory system in an integrative way. This book integrates descriptions of disorders of the ear and the nervous system and provides a comprehensive coverage of anatomy and physiology of the entire auditory system. The book introduces the role of neural plasticity in the symptoms of disorders such as tinnitus, hyperacusis and phonophobia. A separate chapter discusses cochlear and auditory brainstem implants.

Working with Deaf People: A Handbook for Healthcare Professionals By Anna Middleton

Working with Deaf People: A Handbook for Healthcare Professionals By Anna Middleton
Publisher: Cambridge University Press 2009 | 230 Pages | ISBN: 0521690854 | PDF | 2 MB

Long gone are the days when a deaf person is expected to struggle through a healthcare consultation with a health professional who has inadequate deaf awareness. Legislation now dictates that the onus is on the health professional to utilise the right communication skills. Deafness is very common, meaning that health professionals, whatever their specialist area, can expect to encounter a client with deafness or hearing loss on a daily basis. Working with Deaf People is intended for use as a general reference manual, offering practical advice on how to prepare for the consultation with clients who are deaf or deafblind. Information is offered about language, communication and culture; case studies demonstrate how the messages can be applied in practice. Every health professional, medical and nursing student, whatever their discipline and whatever country they work in, should have a copy of this book.

Cell Biology

Thomas D. Pollard, William C. Earnshaw, "Cell Biology"
W.B. Saunders Company | 2002 | ISBN: 0721639976 | 805 pages | CHM | 182 MB

A masterful, richly illustrated introduction to the cell biology that you need to know

Review
"This book contains everything you want to know and more about cells. Each section covers a topic by beginning with the basic molecules and background principles and then continuing up to how these give full physiological function.
It is well designed because it contains lots of detail on each subject without drowning out key information for understanding. There are separate boxes on most pages, containing key principles and helpful summary tables alongside many excellent diagrams and research figures. It has been updated from the first edition with the inclusion of the latest research findings and there has also been an effort made to reduce jargon. I would recommend this book for a person wanting to conduct research who needs solid baseline knowledge of cell biology."

Steven Ney - Resolving Messy Policy Problems: Handling Conflict in Environmental, Transport, Health and Ageing Policy

Steven Ney - Resolving Messy Policy Problems: Handling Conflict in Environmental, Transport, Health and Ageing Policy
Publisher: Earthscan Publications Ltd. | 2009-05 | ISBN: 1844075664 | PDF | 240 pages | 5.29 MB

Our lives increasingly take place in ever more complex and interconnected networks that blur the boundaries we have traditionally used to define our social and political spaces. Accordingly, the policy problems that governments are called upon to deal with have become less clear-cut and far messier. This is particularly the case with climate change, environmental policy, transport, health and ageing—all areas in which the tried-and-tested linear policy solutions are increasingly inadequate or failing. What makes messy policy problems particularly uncomfortable is that science and scientific knowledge have themselves become sources of uncertainty and ambiguity. Indeed, what is to count as a “rational solution” is itself now subject of considerable debate and controversy.
For policy makers this raises a number of tough questions: Given scientific uncertainty, how are policy-makers to tackle messy issues? What should policy-makers do about the intractable and persistent policy conflicts that seem to accompany messy issues? How can policy-makers structure policy processes in order to better understand, deal with and learn from messy policy issues?
This challenging book seeks to answer these questions by focusing on the intractable conflict that characterizes policy debate about messy issues. In the first part of the book, the author develops a framework for analyzing intractable policy conflict about messy policy issues. In the second section, he applies the conceptual framework to four very different policy issues: the environment—focusing on climate change—as well as transport, ageing and health. Using evidence from Europe, North America and the Asia-Pacific, the chapters compare how policy actors construct contending narratives or stories in order to make sense of, and deal with, messy challenges. In the final section, the author discusses the implications of the analysis for collective learning and adaptation processes. The aim is to contribute to a more refined understanding of policy-making in the face of uncertainty, and most importantly to provide practical methods for critical reflection on policy and to point to sustainable adaptation pathways and learning mechanisms for policy formulation.

Critical Interventions in the Ethics of Healthcare

Stuart J. Murray and Dave Holmes - Critical Interventions in the Ethics of Healthcare
Publisher: Ashgate | 2009-04-01 | ISBN: 0754673960 | PDF | 258 pages | 5.67 MB

"Critical Interventions in the Ethics of Healthcare" argues that traditional modes of bioethics are proving incommensurable with burgeoning biotechnologies and consequently, emerging subjectivities. Drawn from diverse disciplines, this volume works toward a new mode of discourse in bioethics, offering a critique of the current norms and constraints under which Western healthcare operates. The contributions imagine new, less paternalistic, terms by which bioethics might proceed - terms that do not resort to exclusively Western models of liberal humanism or to the logic of neoliberal economies. It is argued that in this way, we can begin to develop an ethical vocabulary that does justice to the challenges of our age. Bringing together theorists, practitioners and clinicians to present a wide variety of related disciplinary concerns and perspectives on bioethics, this volume challenges the underlying assumptions that continue to hold sway in the ethics of medicine and health sciences.
