I am student at University of British Columbia (UBC). Time to time I help some neuropsychologists on various research from head injury to rehabilitation. I found the content of this book informative regarding today's topic, and particularly easy to read and understandable. This book covers areas of assessment in neuropsychology from early childhood to late adulthood. It also covers various assessment such as in neuropsychiatry, cognition, etc. This book is a valuable reference for student in clinical neuropsychology, and a reliable source of information for research. I highly recomand this golden reference to my coleagues.

this book provides excellent information and tips on why and how to do inlays and onlays in both porcelain and composite. The authors compare these type dental restorations to both gold and silver restorations so the consumer can better judge just what he or she wants to have placed into his or her mouth. There are also clear and close up photographs and illustrations showing just how these restorations should be constructed by the dental ceramist. Basically the book is all about choices in posterior dental restorations, and alternatives to silver amalgam restorations. The text is easily understood, and the book is artistically laid out with simple but complete illustrations that help make learning the techniques much easier. The chapters are written by world experts on the subjects. There is even a chapter on the use of CAD-CAM and the present and future role of this technology in construction of dental restorations

This is an excellent selection of Dostoevsky's letters that show how great a writer and man he was. The compassion that developed in him and the faith in his abilities despite the terrible suffering he endured is a lesson in forebearance and inspiration to all. More than anything it shows the creative process involved which is so vital a part of being an artist: a human being interacting with the world for better or worse. Something those obsessed with all forms of literay theory should note and absorb as a tonic to get them out of their stupor.

This is a comprehensive, science-based discussion of how stress, via catecholamines such as adrenaline and noradrenaline, can lead to cardiovascular diseases such as high blood pressure, heart attacks, and sudden death. The author expends great effort in attempting to separate facts, theories, and unfounded assumptions in this highly controversial area. This is a resource for academicians. Lay people probably would not understand the medicalese.

The Ramapo Mountain People is an excellent history of the people residing in an area bordering the NY/NJ State line within the Ramapo Mountains. The interviews give an indepth perspective of how this group view and classify themselves, as well as how outside influences have changed their way of life over the years. Covered are the controversies surrounding the origin of these people, and how they have come to live in the Mountains for almost 250 years alongside the Dutch and local Indians. Often referred to as "Jackson Whites", the subject of racism between themselves and outsiders (black and white) as well as within their own community, is well covered. The writers have done extensive research into this subject, and have given the reader an excellent insight to a community that has, for the most part, been left to their own devices by the outside world. Genealogies for the most common families are provided, and thought provoking arguments as to the exact nationality of the Mountain People is discussed. A wonderful source of information for all aspects of the lives for those known as Ramapo Mountain People.

Though this book never states it clearly, the Ramapo Mountain People are actually the very first residents of New Jersey! I have studied native American history in the New York/New Jersey region for more than 30 years and I don't think there is a more convincing case that the people Cohen identifies as Mountain People are the native (Indian), Dutch and African American people who first settled the region in the 1600s. This is an important book about a very important group of people! Shame on Donald Trump for maligning these people as "hillbillies" -- no native American group has lasted as long in the metropolitan New York/New Jersey area, and may God bless them!

This is an excellent source of information covering the Ramapo Mountain People, a community of people who for the better part of almost 250 years have lived in the Ramapo Mountains and surrounding areas of Rockland County NY and Bergen and Passaic County NJ. These people are surrounded in controversy concerning their ethnicity, which has been labeled African American, American Indian, Dutch, German Palatine, French Creole. This book explores the ancestry and genealogy of the early members of this group and takes the reader through very personal and often controversial issues surrounding a very proud, but very private segment of Society. The book contains photographs of the areas inhabited by the Mountain People as well as photographs of some of the people interviewed. It allows the reader to experience the conflicts facing this community, through real experiences as told to the writer. The reader gets a feel for what it is like to be a Ramapo Mountain person. Some of the Ramapo Mountain People do not approve of this book, its contents or conclusions. I recommend this book if you have any interest in the history of these people.

The book explains the material in sufficient details and supports it with easy to understand examples. Also, the exercises and assignments are of appropriate level of difficulty. Overall, I think the authors have done a great job.

As a grad student at Carnegie Mellon University, this subject is one of my passions. This book gave me a really good insight into the causes of variabilities between humans and other species. Great resource for anyone involved in genetic research such as strain markers, including genetic mapping and studies of the evolutionary connections between species and populations.

The best part is that this book brings together and international group of scientists currently working in microsatellites. They detail the molecular processes that have given rise to microsatellite DNA, and then describe the various ways in which the potential of microsatellites is being harnessed in medical genetics, behavioural and evolutionary biology, and ecology.

Peter Jay's preface admits he took "the division of the poems and many points of interpretation" to his version of the "Song of Songs" from Robert Gordis's 1954 version; that though they take the form of dramatic lyrics "to be spoken by a man or a woman", he took them to be "impersonal poems, rather than direct addresses by the poet to his audience." This may account for the coolness in his rendering. David Goldstein's introduction recounts debates in the second century AD over whether the poems should be included in the Bible. These hinged on whether complete lack of reference to God and faith prevented their being an allegory: "The many warnings by rabbinic authorities against taking the book at its face value show that such a literal reading was not uncommon, and that the temptation so to regard the book was ever-present." The formality of tone in Jay's version makes that temptation unlikely:

I make you swear, daughters of Jerusalem
if you find my lover, tell him
how sick I am with love.
(And what's your lover
more than anyone else's,
darling?
Why so special
for you to make us promise?)
He has a sparkling appearance -
you'd pick him out of ten thousand.

The line breaks sometimes evoke the spoken breath and occasional colloquialisms like "darling" can suggest a speaking person. But the prevailing tone, as in phrases like "sparkling appearance", is formal as an archaeologist's rendering of buried tablets, evoking neither personal involvement nor the immediacy of sensual detail. This approach best suits those lyrics in which no personal story is implied and a preacher's eloquence rather than lover's sighs seem right: "for lust is as stubborn as death/as pitiless as the grave,/its glowing coals/burn with the fiercest flames."

The book is handsome and some of the lyrics lovely. Jay has made these poems live and speak the English of our day. But he has not translated the directness which tempted second century AD readers to mistake these poems for literal records of an earthly love.
