Written expressly for non-neuropsychologists, this book offers a concise, friendly introduction to the developing brain and its functions. Stephen R. Hooper renders complex concepts accessible as he describes the structure of the brain and the workings of the nervous system. The book explains how findings from neuropsychological assessments can help educators and clinicians to better understand and remediate children's difficulties. A range of neurodevelopmental and medical conditions that affect learning and behavior from early childhood through adolescence are explored through a neuropsychological lens. Helpful features include key Take-Home Points distilled from the chapters and recommended print and online resources.
This is the first textbook to adopt an integrated perspective of climate change in Australia, drawing on research from the latest Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (2021, 2022) Sixth Assessment Reports to make it the most up-to-date resource available. It fills a knowledge gap in an ever-increasing hot topic for the country, its people, economy and environment. Australia has been identified by a number of respected sources as a ‘climate change hotspot’, with all major sectors of the economy considered vulnerable or highly vulnerable to the anticipated adverse impacts of climate change. The chief industry sectors examined in this book include energy, transportation, manufacturing, agriculture, fisheries, forestry, tourism and mining. Other chapters focus on other key thematic areas, such as protected areas and world heritage sites (including their natural and cultural values), coastal and island environments, biosecurity, biodiversity and ecosystem services, human health, water resources, cities and settlements, rural and regional areas, and Indigenous communities. Ideal for advanced undergraduate and graduate students with limited science backgrounds, this book will inform those undertaking business, management, sustainability, education, environmental, development or heritage studies and other social science programs.
Description This autobiography has a gentle and warm effect upon the reader, skilfully drawing one in until you carry an understanding of the man in your heart. Once again Habel demonstrates that he is a master of language, able to use different mediums and write with different voices to stir different feelings in the reader and to convey different messages. Habel has written many books for Chipmunka but this one is his most honest, most encompassing and most thoughtful. The simplicity of the language in this book, in contrast to that of previous books, touches one to the core and, in the end, leaves one with a feeling of tremendous admiration, and of hope. About the Author Stephen J. Habel was born in Chicago, Illinois where he now resides and writes full time. He attended the University of Illinois-Chicago with a major in English. He has written several more books and scripts, published by Chipmunka, and has plans to work writing for a film company or starting a film company of his own. He enjoys listening to music, reading, writing, watching movies and taking walks around Chicago.
