Springer-Verlag New York Inc. Industrial Medicine Desk Reference
Book SynopsisIncreased public concern over the control of environmental forces and industrial hazards has led to awareness for the need for improved conditions for all who work. Industry has expanded and developed new p''~ducts and new methods. A great many occupational diseases have accompanied this progress. Too much of the present data and knowledge have been obtained following accidents or sad experience. Thousands of women have died, have become acutely or chronically ill, and still others permanently disabled. Workers themselves have become keenly aware of potential hazards on their jobs, and public interest has developed to a point where articles are appearing on front pages of newspapers, business journals, and medical journals specifically related to occupational medicine. Special studies of chemicals, processes, and practices have been initiated by government agencies and by industrTable of ContentsA.- B.- C.- D.- E.- F.- G.- H.- I.- J.- K.- L.- M.- N.- O.- P.- Q.- R.- S.- T.- U.- V.- W.- X.- Z.

Taylor & Francis Inc Nurturing An Endangered Generation: Empowering Youth with Critical Social, Emotional, & Cognitive Skills
Book SynopsisThe statistics are pretty grim - the young people of the US face an ever increasing tide of poverty, alcohol, and drug abuse, violence, suicide, and family dysfunction. However, society's response has been slow. Too many young people do not receive consistent, positive, and realistic validation of themselves from the adults on whom they depend. The problems facing today's youth demonstrate the critical need for responsible adults to establish close, helping relationships with our young people. This means not only helping them achieve academically, but also teaching them skills such as assertiveness, decision making, conflict resolution, impulse control, anger management, empathy, sensitivity, and tolerance of difference. This book goes beyond the stilted rhetoric on the problems of youth and the dilemma for society by outlining specific treatment intervention and prevention strategies that address the full spectrum of dysfunctional behavior. It introduces structured intervention strategies for school and community collaboration, with an emphasis on remediation and treatment. Educators and helping professionals will find counseling strategies and psychoeducational techniques that focus on primary prevention. These primary prevention strategies are supported by an understanding of critical social, emotional, and cognitive skills. Each chapter introduces the latest demographic data and the factors that make children and adolescents vulnerable to self-defeating or self-destructive behaviors, and then counteracts these factors with structured intervention and preventionTable of ContentsPREFACE, ACKNOWLEDGMENTS, PART I: RATIONALE AND THEORETICAL FRAMEWORK, CHAPTER 1: SOCIAL, EMOTIONAL, AND COGNITIVE SKILLS DEFICITS: ESSENTIAL LIFE SKILLS FROM A DEVELOPMENTAL PERSPECTIVE, CHAPTER 2: EMPOWERING YOUTH: SOLUTION-FOCUSED COUNSELING AND MULTIMODAL INTERVENTIONS, CHAPTER 3: PSYCHOEDUCATIONAL GROUPS IN INSTITUTIONAL AND COMMUNITY SETTINGS, PART II: MANIFESTATIONS OF BEHAVIOR AND RELATED SKILLS, CHAPTER 4: ALCOHOL AND OTHER DRUG ABUSE, CHAPTER 5: UNINTENDED PREGNANCY AND HIGH-RISK SEXUAL ACTIVITY, CHAPTER 6: LOSS, DEPRESSION, AND SUICIDE, CHAPTER 7: CONFLICTED YOUTH, DELINQUENCY, AND VIOLENCE, CHAPTER 8: ALIENATION, UNDERACHIEVEMENT, AND DROPPING OUT, CHAPTER 9: ISOLATION, VICTIMIZATION, AND ABUSE, PART III: CREATING POSITIVE RELATIONSHIPS THROUGH EMPOWERMENT OF OTHERS, CHAPTER 10: EMPOWERING YOUTH, FAMILIES, SCHOOLS, AND COMMUNITIES, EPILOGUE, REFERENCES, INDEX, ABOUT THE AUTHOR

Springer Editions Oral Presentation in Medicine
Book SynopsisScientific knowledge may be communicated in the written form or orally. Written communication (medical writing) usually takes the form of original or research papers, which appear in scientific journals. Oral communication in medicine is usually made during a meeting and is often called a free paper. Oral medical communication abides by certain rules. The objectives of this book are to examine and discuss these rules. Oral medical communication involves taking the floor to speak, whether it be as a speaker, the person who gives the talk in front of an audience, or as part of the audience, who can then ask questions or make comments. The go between is called the moderator. Some forms of oral communication are more specific to meetings with a large audience: free papers, panel discussions or roundtables, posters, and videos. Others are more characteristic of smaller audiences: hospital staff meet ings, or literature update sessions. Educational talks have a didactic goal and resemble a lecture, for instance, in a course, or are closer to a case report, when they are given during a small class get-together.Trade ReviewFrom the reviews: "This book is an educational manual featuring guidelines on spoken communication in medicine, with particular advice on how to convey a scientific message … . this text provides specific and really interesting techniques in medical publishing … . The information contained in this volume can be of great importance to clinicians, researchers and also students who have an interest in the improvement of their communicative capabilities and possibilities." (M. Monticone, Minerva Medica, Vol. 96 (1), 2005)Table of ContentsPrimary target audiences: - The Speechgiver: Role, posture, public presentation, exposé, oral expression, support materials, slides, posters, video and film, blackboard, or chart. Response to questions from the audience. Settings - informal communications, conferences, round tables, scientific posters, documentary, library, sessions. - The moderator: Role, Pre-Congress: text review, pre-exposé, presentation of the speaker and his/her subject during and after the exposé. Initiating, maintaining and concluding the discussion. - The public: Role-Taking the podium in responding to a question or comment.

Springer International Publishing AG Reading Books and Prints as Cultural Objects
Book SynopsisThis book contributes significantly to book, image and media studies from an interdisciplinary, comparative point of view. Its broad perspective spans medieval manuscripts to e-readers. Inventive methodology offers numerous insights into visual, manuscript and print culture: material objects relate to meaning and reading processes; images and texts are examined in varied associations; the symbolic, representational and cultural agency of books and prints is brought forward. An introduction substantiates methods and approaches, ten chapters follow along media lines: from manuscripts to prints, printed books, and e-readers. Eleven contributors from six countries challenge the idea of a unified field, revealing the role of books and prints in transformation and circulation between varying cultural trends, ‘high’ and ‘low’. Mostly Europe-based, the collection offers book and print professionals, academics and graduates, models for future research, imaginatively combining material culture with archival data, cultural and reading theories with historical patterns. Trade Review“This fascinating collection will be of interest to many VPR readers for its emphasis on the methodologies of studying text and image in the broad context of print (and manuscript) culture. It provokes those of us working in the orbit of nineteenth-century periodicals to think more comparatively about our approaches to the media we research.” (Mark W. Turner, Victorian Periodicals Review, Vol. 53 (1), 2020)“Evanghelia Stead’s Reading Books and Prints as Cultural Objects will be welcomed by Book Studies scholars for its modeling of a material approach to reading that crosses chronologies, geographies, and media. A truly interdisciplinary collection, there is much here to provoke, challenge, and inspire future studies.” (Lorraine Janzen Kooistra, Quaerendo, Vol. 49, 2019)“It offers a stimulating interdisciplinary perspective on the function of books and prints, spanning a broad period from medieval manuscript to digital work. … Reading Books and Prints as Cultural Objects is a very rich and insightful interdisciplinary approach.” (Fabienne Gaspari, Interfaces, Vol. 42, 2019)Table of ContentsChapter 1.

Oxford University Press From Literacy to Literature
Book SynopsisThe first lessons we learn in school can stay with us all our lives, but this was nowhere more true than in the last decades of the fourteenth century when grammar-school students were not only learning to read and write, but understanding, for the first time, that their mother tongue, English, was grammatical. The efflorescence of Ricardian poetry was not a direct result of this change, but it was everywhere shaped by it. This book characterizes this close connection between literacy training and literature, as it is manifest in the fine and ambitious poetry by Gower, Langland and Chaucer, at this transitional moment. This is also a book about the way medieval training in grammar (or grammatica) shaped the poetic arts in the Middle Ages fully as much as rhetorical training. It answers the curious question of what language was used to teach Latin grammar to the illiterate. It reveals, for the first time, what the surviving schoolbooks from the period actually contain. It describes whatTrade ReviewCannon's book has done much, as far as the implications for Middle English are concerned.
