Taylor & Francis Ltd The Auditory Cortex A Synthesis of Human and
Book SynopsisUnderstanding human hearing is not only a scientific challenge but also a problem of growing social and political importance, given the steadily increasing numbers of people with hearing deficits or even deafness. This book is about the highest level of hearing in humans and other mammals. It brings together studies of both humans and animals thereby giving a more profound understanding of the concepts, approaches, techniques, and knowledge of the auditory cortex. All of the most up-to-date procedures of non-invasive imaging are employed in the research that is described.Trade Review"The Auditory Cortex: A Synthesis of Human and Animal Research is a remarkable meeting of (no less than 70) experts concerned with how the brain processes sounds....provides novel ideas on the place of the auditory cortex in a bigger scheme of cortical and perceptual processing. A plethora of contemporary questions is present throughout the text....The Auditory Cortex may be most useful to graduate students and investigators with a fair awareness of issues in the field of auditory research, but it also is appropriate as an up-to-date reference text on the auditory cortex."—PsycCRITIQUES"...this book gives a really in-depth presentation, by worldwide experts in this domain, about what is known (and unknown) on the topic.

Taylor & Francis Working Ethically in Child Protection
Book SynopsisIn their day-to-day practice, social work and human services practitioners frequently find themselves in confusing ethical quandaries, trying to balance the numerous competing interests of protecting children from harm and promoting family and community capacity. This book explores the ethical issues surrounding child protection interventions and offers a process-oriented approach to ethical practice and decision making in child protection and family welfare practice. Its aim is to prepare students and early-career professionals for roles in the complex and challenging work of child protection and family support. Beginning with a critical analysis and appreciation of the diverse organisational and cultural contexts of contemporary child protection and ethical decision-making frameworks, the authors outline a practical âreal-worldâ model for reshaping frontline ethical practice. Moving away from a focus on the child apart from the family, the authors recognise that child safegTrade Review'Working Ethically in Child Protection provides a deep analysis of ethics and the complex, critical dilemmas and decision-making processes in child protection. The book is a useful text for social work, psychology, legal, and welfare students and practitioners.' - Susie Costello Director, Master of Social Work, RMIT University, MelbourneAustralian Social WorkTable of ContentsPart 1: Ethical Theory and Historical Frameworks for Practice 1.
