This book describes an approach to engineering education that integrates a comprehensive set of personal and interpersonal skills, and process, product, and system building skills with disciplinary knowledge. The education of engineers is set in the context of engineering practice, that is, Conceiving, Designing, Implementing, and Operating (CDIO) through the entire lifecycle of engineering processes, products, and processes. The book is both a description of the development and implementation of the CDIO model, and a guide to engineering programmers worldwide who seek to improve their programs.

The advent of modern neurobiological methods over the last three decades has provided overwhelming evidence that it is the interaction of genetic factors and the experience of the individual that guides and supports brain development. Brains do not develop normally in the absence of critical genetic signaling, and they do not develop normally in the absence of essential environmental input. The key to understanding the origins and emergence of both the brain and behavior lies in understanding how inherited and environmental factors are engaged in the dynamic and interactive processes that define and direct development of the neurobehavioral system. Neural Plasticity and Cognitive Development focuses on children who suffered focal brain insult (typically stroke) in the pre- or perinatal period which provides a model for exploring the dynamic nature of early brain and cognitive development. In most, though not all, of the cases considered, the injuries affect substantial portions of one cerebral hemisphere, resulting in patterns of neural damage that would compromise cognitive ability in adults. However, longitudinal behavioral studies of this population of children have revealed only mild cognitive deficits, and preliminary data from functional brain imaging studies suggest that alternative patterns of functional organization emerge in the wake of early injury. Neural Plasticity and Cognitive Development posits that the capacity for adaptation is not the result of early insult. Rather, it reflects normal developmental processes which are both dynamic and adaptive operating against a backdrop of serious perturbation of the neural substrate.

Voici un livre clé de la grande romancière, auteur avec Le Carnet d'or, Les Enfants de la violence, La Terroriste, etc., d'une des œuvres les plus fortes et les plus significatives de notre temps.Sans illusion sur les pièges de la mémoire, mais avec rigueur et sincérité, Doris Lessing nous livre ici l'expérience d'une vie commencée en Perse en 1919, entre un père mutilé par la guerre et une mère dissimulant sous un masque de rigorisme une profonde insatisfaction.La Rhodésie où grandit l'enfant, l'éveil de sa sensualité, le sentiment de révolte humaine et bientôt politique qui la pousse à la rupture avec les siens : tel est à grands traits le panorama de ce livre, qui s'achève en 1949 avec l'installation à Londres de Doris, deux fois divorcée, un manuscrit dans sa valise. Car, derrière la militante et la jeune femme "émancipée ", la romancière est en train de naître...Doris Lessing est quelqu'un qui continue à donner un sens à des mots qui l'ont perdu aux yeux de beaucoup : Le non-conformisme et la médiocrité, la chaleur des moments singuliers et la force des exigences morales, le refus et l'engagement. Quelqu'un qui prend au sérieux la vie, les humains.Jean Chesneaux, La Quinzaine littéraire.
En 1949 débarque à Londres une jeune femme, avec son enfant de deux ans et demi et le manuscrit d'un premier roman. Ayant rompu deux mariages successifs, sans argent, en révolte contre les préjugés et l'hypocrisie, elle va forger son destin de femme et d'écrivain. Dans ma peau, premier volume de l'autobiographie de Doris Lessing, évoquait son enfance rhodésienne, ses tribulations de jeune fille en rupture avec son milieu. De son arrivée à Londres à la publication du Carnet d'or (1962), qui l'imposera comme une romancière majeure, elle va vivre la bohème, connaître des amours tumultueuses, écrire passionnément, fréquenter les milieux du théâtre, se vouer à un idéal politique qui pourra la décevoir mais dont elle n'oublie pas la grandeur et la générosité. C'est un après-guerre en clair-obscur, marqué par le redressement économique, l'affrontement des super-puissances, une vie intellectuelle foisonnante, qui revit dans ces pages où Doris Lessing nous livre, avec sa sincérité coutumière, ses convictions sur l'amour, la littérature, l'argent, la société, la mémoire.
