Written for attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) sufferers yet useful for anyone wishing make better use of their time, this book is abundant with effective strategies for combating problems related to inattention, procrastination, disorganization, mismanagement of time, and poor planning. It begins by carefully explaining the neurologic underpinnings of ADHD and focusing on specific executive functions--the brain-based processes that assist in planning, initiating, and carrying out tasks to complete projects. Then using exercises designed to identify areas that need addressing, it aims to "tune up" these executive functions for maximum productivity. In contrast to many books on ADHD, which can have good ideas but lack practical ways to apply them in everyday life, this guide includes specific recommendations for improving distractibility, working memory, attention, organization, time management, and response inhibition deficits. With strategies based in the science of how the ADHD brain processes information, this reference bridges the gap between knowledge and action.
George Bancroft (1800-1891) was an American historian and statesman. His first position was that of tutor at Harvard University, and with a friend he established the Round Hill School at Northampton, Massachusetts. In 1834 appeared the first of ten volumes of the History of the United States, which would appear over the next four decades (1834-74) and established his reputation. His entry into politics came in 1837 with his appointment by Martin Van Buren as Collector of Customs of the Port of Boston. He also became Secretary of the Navy (1845- 46), during which tenure he established the United States Naval Academy at Annapolis. He served as Minister Plenipotentiary to England (1846-49), then withdrew from public life, residing in New York and writing history. In 1866 he was chosen by Congress to deliver the special eulogy on Lincoln, and in 1867 he was appointed minister to Berlin, where he remained until his resignation in 1874. His other works include: Literary and Historical Miscellanies (1855), The History of the Formation of the Constitution of the United States (1882) and Martin Van Buren to the End of his Public Career (1889).
