What makes time tick? With these dozens of experiments, budding scientists will happily pass the hours investigating all its wonders. They’ll learn how to tell time using the sun, moon, and stars; make their own hourglass and candle timekeeper; and learn how clocks and watches operate. Fun-filled activities include creating a model of the International Date Line and constructing a cereal box planetarium, plus there are intriguing answers to such questions as whether we’ll ever be able to travel through time.
A collection of seventy illustrated logic puzzles set in fantastic locales such as outer space or mythical kingdoms, with explanations of the logical reasoning needed to solve them. Includes charts, grids, diagrams, a section of clues and an answer section.
Over 100 projects demonstrate composition of objects, how substances are affected by various forms of energy — heat, light, sound, electricity, etc. Over 100 illustrations.
Now in its Fifth Edition, Neuropsychological Assessment reviews the major neurobehavioral disorders associated with brain dysfunction and injury. This is the 35th anniversary of the landmark first edition. As with previous editions, this edition provides a comprehensive coverage of the field of adult clinical neuropsychology in a single source. By virtue of the authors' clinical and research specializations, this book provides a broad-based and in-depth coverage of current neuroscience research and clinical neuropsychology practice. While the new edition is updated to include new features and topics, it remains true to the highly-regarded previous editions. Methods for obtaining optimum data are given in the form of hypothesis-testing techniques, clinical tips, and clinical examples. In the seven years since the previous edition, many advancements have been made in techniques for examining brain function and in our knowledge about brain-behavior relationships. For example, a surge of functional imaging data has emerged and new structural imaging techniques have provided exquisite detail about brain structure. For the first time, this edition includes examples of these advancements, many in stunning color. This edition also includes new tools for clinicians such as a neuroimaging primer and a comparison table of the neuropsychological features of progressive dementias. The chapters on assessment procedures include discussion of issues related to test selection and reviews of recently published as well as older test batteries used in general neuropsychological assessment, plus newly developed batteries for specific issues.
This book contains 365 experiments that are inexpensive and use easy to find materials, brief instructions, safety guidelines, and over 700 instructive illustrations.
