Cognitive Dysfunction in Children with Temporal Lobe Epilepsy

By: Alexis Arzimanoglou,Albert Aldenkamp,Helen Cross,Maryse Lassonde

Much has been written about the cognitive function of children with epilepsy but despite there being extensive study of the neuropsychological status of adults with intractable temporal lobe epilepsy, it has been more limited in children. Although cognitive development in children is influenced by similar factors to adults, the role of early damage, modification of cerebral organisation and interruption of the learning process are also likely to be important. Devoted to cognitive function and dysfunction in children with temporal lobe epilepsy, this book highlights those domains that demand further research and those for which immediate established techniques for a better global care can be undertaken.

Fantasies of music in nostalgic medievalism

By: Helen Dell

In the period between the Second World War and the present, there has been an extraordinary rise in the production of medievalist fantasy literature and film. This has been accompanied by the revival, performance and invention of medieval music. In this enterprise modern fantasies of the Middle Ages have exercised great influence. Fantasies of music in nostalgic medievalism shows how music, medievalism and nostalgia have been woven together in the fantasies of writers and readers, musicians, musicologists, directors and listeners, film-makers and film-goers. This book studies the ways in which three fields of creative activity inspired by the medieval – musical performance, literature, cinema and their reception – have worked together to produce and sustain, for some, the fantasy of a long-lost, long-mourned paradisal home.

One Family's Experience in Adopting an Older Child

By: Helen Austin, R.N., LCSW

Helen Austin and her husband already had one biological son when they decided to adopt. They chose to adopt an older child, and soon their second child-adopted at almost five years old-came to be a big sister to their son. They imagined that their new family constellation would easily slip into a happy, smiling, group. It was not so easy. Adopting an older child is not always simple. Helen and her family learned from their experience that adopting an older child is a process involving five phases: preplacement, placement, family disintegration, family reorganization, and individual and family growth. BITTERSWEET allows readers to see firsthand the range of emotions and experiences that occur throughout the process. In beautiful but honest narration, Helen bravely shares her family's adoption experience with others who might face similar challenges in their own adoption journeys, reassuring them that they are not alone.

Work, Health and Wellbeing in the Construction Industry

By: Helen Lingard,Michelle Turner

This book covers a wide range of topics relating to the health and wellbeing of the construction workforce. Based on more than two decades of work examining various aspects of workers’ health and wellbeing, the book addresses a key topic in construction management: how the design of work environments, construction processes and organisation of work impact upon construction workers’ physical and psychological health. Occupational health is a significant problem for the construction industry. However, the subject of health does not receive as much attention in occupational health and safety research or practice as the subject of safety. Traditional management approaches (focused on the prevention of accidents and injuries) are arguably ill-suited to addressing issues of workers’ health and wellbeing. This book seeks to explain how workers' health and wellbeing are impacted by working in the construction sector, and suggest ways in which organisations (and decision makers within them) can positively shape workplaces and practices in ways that better support construction workers to maintain healthy and productive working lives. Including chapter summaries and discussion questions to encourage student readers to reflect on and formulate their own viewpoints about the issues raised in each chapter, the book has the potential to be used as a textbook in undergraduate or postgraduate occupational health and safety, or construction management courses dealing with occupational health and safety. It could also be used as supplementary recommended reading in undergraduate or postgraduate programmes in architecture, engineering or management.
