SCN2A encodes a voltage-gated sodium channel (designated NaV1.2) vital for generating neuronal action potentials. Pathogenic SCN2A variants are associated with a diverse array of neurodevelopmental disorders featuring neonatal or infantile onset epilepsy, developmental delay, autism, intellectual disability and movement disorders. SCN2A is a high confidence risk gene for autism spectrum disorder and a commonly discovered cause of neonatal onset epilepsy. This remarkable clinical heterogeneity is mirrored by extensive allelic heterogeneity and complex genotype-phenotype relationships partially explained by divergent functional consequences of pathogenic variants. Emerging therapeutic strategies targeted to specific patterns of NaV1.2 dysfunction offer hope to improving the lives of individuals affected by SCN2A-related disorders. This Element provides a review of the clinical features, genetic basis, pathophysiology, pharmacology and treatment of these genetic conditions authored by leading experts in the field and accompanied by perspectives shared by affected families. This title is also available as Open Access on Cambridge Core.

- Mesmerizing symbols that change everything and long reverberate in your conscience calling you to do what is right. - Thought-provoking truthapedia - a survivor's blueprint to being in integrity with all of life. - A quintessential handbook to right living based on ancient, timeless principles. - Trance inducing symbols that bypass the mind and its defenses taking you to the magic of subconscious wisdom, working their enchantment - transforming you in ordinary to extraordinary ways Symbol Odyssey: Guidebook to the 108 Uncompromising Principles of Wisdom and Truth encourages the reader to embrace and interact with archetypal symbols representing each of the universal laws. This visually stimulating book has paired ancient to modern, and even newly created, symbols to each of the long-existent 108 undeviating universal principles of wisdom and truth. In the book's layout, every one of the 108 laws is briefly defined. Each principle has a carefully selected symbol that carries a vital force that visually and energetically represents the truth and wisdom of the law. Generously peppered throughout the book are profound, philosophical, meaningful, and/or witty quotes to further illustrate the meaning of each law and its illuminating symbol or image. How is the book to be used? For example, take a moment and imagine reflecting on the majestic Seal of Shamash symbol, which is paired with the Law of Delegation. Embedded in this universal symbol is the knowledge the Law of Delegation illustrates, "Source assigned mankind stewardship of the heavens and earth to reflect back the wonders of creation. All souls are asked to act collectively in sacred trust to wisely manage and preserve a sustainable earth community and to care for all of creation." As you reflect upon and communicate with the symbol, ask yourself, "How can I embrace the Law of Delegation and do my part in caring for the earth and all of creation?" Indeed, the Law of Delegation is aptly summed up by Einstein, "A human being is a part of the whole called by us universe, a part limited in time and space. He experiences himself, his thoughts and feeling as something separated from the rest, a kind of optical delusion of his consciousness. This delusion is a kind of prison for us, restricting us to our personal desires and to affection for a few persons nearest to us. Our task must be to free ourselves from this prison by widening our circle of compassion to embrace all living creatures and the whole of nature in its beauty." The underlying purpose of the book is for the reader to continuously use the book as a resource leading to individual and collective soul triumphs as each of the 108 uncompromising principles of wisdom and truth are embraced and lived, setting the stage for an ordinary life to be lived extraordinarily.

Historians have long been engaged in telling the story of the struggle for the vote. In the wake of recent contested elections, the suppression of the vote has returned to the headlines, as awareness of the deep structural barriers to the ballot, particularly for poor, black, and Latino voters, has called attention to the historical roots of issues related to voting access.Perhaps most notably, former state legislator Stacey Abrams’s campaign for Georgia's gubernatorial race drew national attention after she narrowly lost to then-secretary of state Brian Kemp, who had removed hundreds of thousands of voters from the official rolls. After her loss, Abrams created Fair Fight, a multimillion-dollar initiative to combat voter suppression in twenty states. At an annual conference of the Organization of American Historians, leading scholars Carol Anderson, Kevin M. Kruse, Heather Cox Richardson, and Heather Anne Thompson had a conversation with Abrams about the long history of voter suppression at the Library Company of Philadelphia. This book is a transcript of that extraordinary conversation, edited by Jim Downs. Voter Suppression in U.S. Elections offers an enlightening, history-informed conversation about voter disenfranchisement in the United States. By gathering scholars and activists whose work has provided sharp analyses of this issue, we see how historians in general explore contentious topics and provide historical context for students and the broader public.The book also includes a “top ten” selection of essays and articles by such writers as journalist Ari Berman, Pulitzer Prize–winning historian David Blight, and civil rights icon John Lewis.

Although comprehensive and ecological approaches to early childhood prevention are commonly advocated, there are few examples of long-term follow-up of such programs. In this monograph, we investigate the medium- and longterm effects of an ecological, community-based prevention project for primary school children and families living in three economically disadvantaged neighborhoods in Ontario, Canada. The Better Beginnings, Better Futures (BBBF) project is one of the most ambitious Canadian research projects on the long-term impacts of early childhood prevention programming to date.
