A standardized outline format is used in order to emphasize relevant information and allow rapid retrieval of key points.

For quick reference over 200 specific disease entities are listed, along with corresponding page numbers, on the inside front cover of the book. Figures have been selected to demonstrate classic findings and to highlight important relationships. The manual covers all material listed in the OKAP Subject Outline published by the AAO.

This is a major revision of a standard reference work for neuropsychologists, psychiatrists, and neurologists. About one-half of the book contains entirely new work by new contributors. New topics not covered in the previous editions include consideration of common sources of neurocognitive morbidity, such as multiple sclerosis, diabetes, and exposure to heavy metals; psychiatric and behavioral disorders associated wtih traumatic brain injury; neuropsychology in relation to everyday functioning; the effects of cognitive impairment on driving skills, and adherence to medical treatments. The Third Edition aims to reflect the enormous developments in neuropsychology in terms of research, clinical applications, and growth of the discipline during the past decade. At one time focused on mapping the cognitive and related consequences of brain injuries, research in neuropsychology has now expanded to much broader considerations of the effects of systemic disease, infection, medications, and inflammatory processes on neurocognition and emotion. The Third Edition attemtps to capture these developments while continuing to adhere to the objective of presenting them in a concise manner in a single volume.

It is an incongruous cast of characters, but they all have at least two things in common. Henry Hudson, a slave named Pomp, Mario Cuomo, Philip Schuyler, the inventor of basketball (perhaps), a nineteenth century detective named Elisha Mack, an eighteenth century geographer named Simeon DeWitt, Charles Dickens, the putative Dauphin of France, Fidel Castro, Herman Melville, a renaissance man named Solomon, Baseball Hall of Famer Johnny Evers, early stage star Joseph Kline Emmet, both Abraham Lincoln and John Wilkes Booth, a Native American known as Orson, and a host of other colorful and compelling characters cross paths in the annals of Albany, New York, one of America's oldest and most fascinating cities. And they also appear in the pages of Albany Scrapbook Vol. 1. Kenneth Salzmann's book explores the history and-sometimes-the folklore of Albany through four centuries. In chapters that look at everything from old Albany's early days as an important outpost for Dutch fur traders to the settlement's first homicide to the region's early theatrical fare and its rich political history, Albany Scrapbook expands upon a series of magazine columns Salzmann, a freelance writer, wrote for a 1980s weekly magazine called Albany, New York.
We knew two things upfront, when we decided to compile an anthology exploring contemporary practices and rituals around funerals and memorials. First, it was clear that many people were upending tradition when it came to memorializing a loved one-or planning for their own demise. Similarly, we had seen that, characteristically, our own generation-the ubiquitous Baby Boom-was putting its own distinctive mark on life's final passage, much as it had done all along the way. But we also knew that there are quieter trends, just as radical in their own way, transforming the way we encounter death in contemporary culture-and that the writers and poets who answered our call for submissions would be the people who, in the final analysis, determined just what What Remains would be about and to whom it would speak. So instead of funerals bordering on carnival acts, look to What Remains for nuanced, often surprising writing about how we mark that final passage. Who are the writers? They're acclaimed veterans of the literary world and, in a few cases, first-time authors. They're accomplished writers and poets with compelling stories to share. They live in Indonesia and in Ireland, France, Canada, and Mexico. Hawaii and New England and nearly everywhere in between. Collectively, they have written dozens of books, their work has been featured in dozens of anthologies, won numerous awards, earned them prestigious fellowships, been heard on The Writer's Almanac, and populated the pages of hundreds of newspapers, literary journals, and magazines, including: The New York Times and the Daily News; The SUN; Poetry; Paris Review; TriQuarterly; Salon Magazine; Rattle; Women's Studies Quarterly; The Literary Journal of the Kurt Vonnegut Museum and Library; The Harvard Advocate; Poetry of Resistance: Voices for Social Justice (University of Arizona Press); Visiting Frost: Poems Inspired by the Life and Work of Robert Frost (The University of Iowa Press); Inside HigherEd; Calyx; Writer's Digest; and many, many more. We're pretty sure they found their way to deep truths that will resonate with readers.Featuring work by Virginia Barrett, Sidney Bending, Hannah Bleier, Nancy Brewka-Clark, Laurie Byro, Dane Cervine, Lucia Cherciu, Marc Alan Di Martino, J.C.
