This textbook provides a comprehensive account of continuum physics, providing readers with the theoretical tools to apply concepts across many areas of research within the physical sciences and engineering. With numerous worked examples and exercises, it would be valuable for students in physics, chemistry, mechanical engineering, and geoscience.

66 adult and paediatric neuromuscular case vignettes are structured like a clinical consultation starting with history taking and neurological examination. Highly illustrated with tables of differential diagnoses and videos of clinical features, cases describe state-of-the-art diagnostic procedures, treatments and other management options.

While revealing Noah as a pivotal figure in the history of Western religious thinking, Philip Almond demonstrates how the flood story also had a very significant and forgotten role in the development of secular thought, even as it is now a powerful lightning rod for gathering climatic and environmental anxieties.

The much-anticipated new edition of 'Learning the Art of Electronics' is here! It defines a hands-on course, inviting the reader to try out the many circuits that it describes. Several new labs (on amplifiers and automatic grain control) have been added to the analog part of the book, which also sees an expanded treatment of meters. Many labs now have online supplements. The digital sections have been rebuilt. An FPGA replaces the less-capable programmable logic devices, and a powerful ARM microcontroller replaces the 8051 previously used. The new microcontroller allows for more complex programming (in C) and more sophisticated applications, including a lunar lander, a voice recorder, and a lullaby jukebox. A new section explores using an Integrated Development Environment to compile, download, and debug programs. Substantial new lab exercises, and their associated teaching material, have been added, including a project reflecting this edition's greater emphasis on programmable logic.

Health Law as Private Law delves into the complex relationship between private law and health care. During the COVID-19 pandemic, the importance of public ordering and state-created rules was evident, yet this work reveals the equally important role of private agreements in shaping health care policy. The volume's five sections - theory and structure, reproductive care, costs and financing, innovation and institutions, contracts and torts - include innovative conceptualizations and approaches to applying private law to health law. Chapters authored by leading experts explore how private law can be utilized to address significant health care and public health problems, and to achieve much-needed health care reform. Comprehensive and timely, Health Law as Private Law opens new pathways that will influence future policy, jurisprudence, and regulation. This title is also available as open access on Cambridge Core.

Governments are increasingly trying to achieve a variety of public interests through competitive tendering of public contracts, authorisations, subsidies as well as public assets. Over the past decades, domestic and EU law has developed for these 'limited rights' at different speed and is extremely fragmented: there is no coherent legal framework. This book provides information on the legal aspects of competitive allocation of all types of limited rights on the basis of an overarching perspective. It explains the impact of the legal framework on the ability of governments to achieve the public interests they pursue through competitive tendering. The book is relevant for domestic and EU public authorities, legislators, courts of law, as well as academics. It discusses and connects in a consistent manner, legal questions arising in the framework of competitive allocation of public contracts, authorisations, subsidies and public assets.

Thoroughly updated and featuring new drug monographs, it continues to provide critical care professionals with the latest and essential information on drug therapy in the intensive care unit.

A succinct introduction to turbulence, suitable for a single-semester graduate-level course. Includes physics-based exercises using simulation data from the Stanford Center for Turbulence Research, over 70 color illustrations, color-coded pedagogy, and over 100 multipart real-world homework problems, with datasets and solutions available online.

With an emphasis on practical guidance, this is a thorough overview of Lifestyle Medicine covering the 6 pillars of mental wellbeing, social connection, healthy eating, physical activity, sleep and minimisation of harmful substances and behaviours. Complex clinical skills are explored and sample scripts and clinical assessments included.

This is the first book to provide a comprehensive and up-to-date treatment on the cognitive neuroscience of memory. Topics include cognitive neuroscience techniques and human brain mechanisms underlying long-term memory success, long-term memory failure, working memory, implicit memory, and memory and disease.

The Neuroscience of Language offers a remarkably accessible introduction to language in the mind and brain. Following the chain of communication from speaker to listener, it covers all fundamental concepts from speech production to auditory processing, speech sounds, word meaning, and sentence processing. The key methods of cognitive neuroscience are covered, as well as clinical evidence from neuropsychological patients and multimodal aspects of language including visual speech, gesture, and sign language. Over 80, full color figures are included to help communicate key concepts. The main text focuses on big-picture themes, while detailed studies and related anecdotes are presented in footnotes to provide interested students with many opportunities to dive deeper into specific topics. Throughout, language is placed within the larger context of the brain, illustrating the fascinating connections of language with other fields including cognitive science, linguistics, psychology, and speech and hearing science.

A riveting and meticulous account of why and how female serial killers commit murder. Drawing on original scientific research and various psychological perspectives, Dr. Marissa A. Harrison illustrates how female serial killers differ from their male counterparts and why society is so fascinated by their grisly crimes.

Scholars have often debated the link between empirical senses and belief in the Gospel of John. This study establishes the value of God's physical incarnation for belief, arguing that the theological nature of belief derives from a God who makes himself physically visible in the world.
