The long-awaited Pocket Guide to Psychiatric Practice is a portable and concise companion to its parent textbook, Introductory Textbook of Psychiatry, Sixth Edition, the preeminent introduction to psychiatry for residents, medical students, and other health professionals. The Pocket Guide is designed to be carried with them on clinical rotations and contains the information needed for patient assessment and clinical management in an easily accessible and convenient format. Mirroring the larger text, the guide takes as its premise that physicians—regardless of their ultimate role in medicine—should be able to define and recognize mental illnesses, to identify methods for treating them, and, for those few who become researchers, to help develop methods for discovering their causes and implementing preventive measures. This pocket version, compatible with DSM-5, includes criteria sets for the most common disorders that learners encounter and is organized to follow the developmental lifespan. The author, who co-edited the larger text, has retained many of the attributes that made the parent text successful, while adding new, user-friendly features: • Completely up-to-date information on all of the disorders and descriptions of newly released medications. • A writing style that is interesting, consistent, and highly accessible, with no redundancy. • A wealth of tables, lists, and other strategies for presenting information in a concise and easy-to-understand manner. • Content organized in parallel with the Introductory Textbook of Psychiatry to make it easier to locate additional learning resources—such as case vignettes, useful clinical "pearls," self-assessment questions, and a glossary of terms—as needed.• An emphasis on the satisfaction of working with psychiatric patients of all types and in all settings that will be appreciated by learners beginning their journey in the field. Pocket Guide to Psychiatric Practice is a highly readable, interesting, and useful resource. Although the book is written primarily for medical students and residents in their first years of training, it will prove useful for individuals seeking psychiatric training from the perspectives of other disciplines such as nursing or social work. The Pocket Guide can be combined with the larger and more detailed Introductory Textbook of Psychiatry and the student-oriented Study Guide to Introductory Psychiatry, to constitute a library of resources on psychiatric disorders and their assessment that sets the stage for lifelong learning.

Oracle designed its database products to be flexible and configurable so they would operate on a variety of hardware platforms, and they succeeded--Oracle software runs on more than seventy computer platforms, from mainframes to PC networks to handheld PDAs. The secret to this flexibility lies in the software's initialization parameters, whose numerous settings can be configured for top performance in countless environments. On the downside, however, improper settings can slow a system down; even grind it to a halt. And with so many parameters--which change from version to version of Oracle software--it's challenging for Oracle administrators to keep in mind the characteristics and optimal settings for each parameter. The Oracle Initialization Parameters Pocket Reference provides the crucial information you need to make key adjustments to your Oracle database. This concise guide is a mix of invaluable performance tips and a quick reference to Oracle's initialization parameters. The book describes each initialization parameter, indicates what category it's in--from auditing to multi-threaded server MTS--and whether it can be modified dynamically via the ALTER SESSION or ALTER SYSTEM command. In addition to the details about parameter characteristics and settings, you'll find performance tips, such as how the various parameters interact, and what the most advantageous settings are for different configurations. No other reference focuses exclusively on these initialization parameters--an absolute must for anyone working with an Oracle database. Presented in a handy, easy-to-use format, the Oracle Initialization Parameters Pocket Reference is a welcome alternative for anyone who's struggled to memorize the best configuration settings or gone back and forth to online resources, trying to figure out what works. O'Reilly's Pocket References put the information you need close at hand where you need it most. This guide will keep your Oracle databases operating at peak performance.

The first, on database management, describes how to maintain existing databases (with a checklist of daily, weekly, and monthly activities), prepare new databases for production, and back up and recover databases (with checklists for how to recover tables, data files, index files, control files, rollback segments, and active and inactive redo logs). The section on installation and configuration contains a summary of key procedures for installation on Unix, Windows NT, and VMS platforms. It also includes special steps for configuring a parallel database. Finally, the section on network management helps with installing, configuring, and testing Net8 software on server and client machines. Tasks include confirming network availability and Net8 connectivity, verifying Net8 name resolution, configuring Net8 clients (with LDAP or Oracle Names), configuring Net8 on the server, configuring the Multi-Threaded Server (MTS), tracing client connections, and tracing the Net8 listener. This book's quick-reference, step-by-step approach aims to take the stress out of DBA problem solving.

Dieses Buch ist ein Bestimmungsatlas, der hilft, Minerale, Gesteine und die wichtigsten Fossilgruppen im Gelände zu erkennen und zu beschreiben. Aber nicht nur das. Zusätzlich wird eine Reihe von wichtigen geologischen Strukturen beschrieben und in zahlreichen Fotos dargestellt. Dadurch werden Sie eingeladen, die Geologie hinter Landschaften und Gesteinen draußen im Gelände aufzuspüren. Denn die Geologie ist eine Wissenschaft, die erst richtig lebendig wird beim Wandern in der Natur, z. B. an der Küste oder durch Nationalparks. Mit wenig Wissen werde Sie die Landschaft anders erleben. Die Gesteine werden quasi lebendig und Sie werden die Geschichte wie ein Buch lesen können und die Vielfalt und Komplexität von geologischen Prozessen verstehen. Solche Prozesse – ein Wechselspiel von Magmatismus, Tektonik, Metamorphose, Klima und Sedimentation – haben die heutige Erdoberfläche geformt. Das Buch wendet sich an die geologisch interessierten Leser und Studierende, denen das Werk als Begleiter bei Ausflügen durch die Natur gute Dienste leisten wird.
