The first – and highly anticipated – monograph on one of the most influential painters of our time Cecily Brown is a British-born, New York-based artist who rose to prominence in the late 1990s. Brown established her unique voice within the art sphere by investigating the sensual qualities of oil paint and challenging the conventions of abstraction and figuration. Through a range of reference to old master paintings, Abstract Expressionism, and popular culture, Brown's symbolic language, exuberant brushwork, rich palette, intense energy, and embrace of the erotic have redefined some of painting's historical canons.
Using frames of reference as effective blueprints for applying theory to pediatric OT practice, Kramer and Hinojosa’s Frames of Reference for Pediatric Occupational Therapy, 5th Edition, helps students learn to effectively evaluate child and adolescent clients and plan for intervention. This proven, reader-friendly approach helps students understand the “why” of each frame of reference (neuro-development or Ayres sensory integration, for example) before moving on to the “how” of creating effective treatment programs. Thoroughly updated content covers the foundations of frames of reference for pediatric OT followed by commonly used frames of reference such as biomechanical and motor skill acquisition. A final section discusses focused frames of reference such as handwriting skills and social participation. An easy-to-follow, templated format provides illustrated, real-world examples as it guides readers through each frame of reference: Theoretical Base, the Function/Dysfunction Continuum, Guide to Evaluation, Application to Practice, and Supporting Evidence.Two new chapters cover frames of reference: Cognitive Orientation to Daily Occupational Performance Approach (CO-OP) and for Secondary Transitioning Planning. New, student-friendly introductions to each part of the text help readers understand the flow of one topic to another. Case examples include sample goals and accommodations and allow students to check their own critical thinking against what is proposed by the authors. Full-color images of actual clinicians working with actual patients, along with a wide range of up-to-date photos and tables, illustrate key concepts and applications. Essential terms are defined within the theoretical base in each frame of reference. Reflects recent changes to practice throughout, including integration of the 4th edition of AOTA’s Occupational Therapy Practice Frameworks. New digital student resources include chapter proficiency quizzes and case studies that encourage application for each frame of reference. New digital Instructor resources include a sequestered test bank that can be used for formative or summative assessment and PowerPoint lecture slides aligned to the text.
How is technology changing the way people remember? This book explores the interplay of memory stored in the brain (internal memory) and outside of the brain (external memory), providing a thorough interdisciplinary review of the current literature, including relevant theoretical frameworks from across a variety of disciplines in the sciences, arts, and humanities. It also presents the findings of a rich and novel empirical data set, based on a comprehensive survey on the shifting interplay of internal and external memory in the 21st century. Results reveal a growing symbiosis between the two forms of memory in our everyday lives.The book presents a new theoretical framework for understanding the interplay of internal and external memory, and their complementary strengths. It concludes with a guide to important dimensions, questions, and methods for future research.Memory and Technology will be of interest to researchers, professors, andstudents across the disciplines of psychology, philosophy, library and information science, human factors, media and cultural studies, anthropology and archaeology, photography, and cognitive rehabilitation, as well as anyone interested in how technology is affecting human memory._____ "This is a novel book, with interesting and valuable data on an important, meaningful topic, as well as a gathering of multidisciplinary and interdisciplinary ideas...The research is accurately represented and inclusive. As a teaching tool, I can envision graduate seminars in different disciplines drawing on the material as the basis for teaching and discussions." Dr. Linda A. Henkel, Fairfield University "This book documents the achievements of a vibrant scientific project – you feel the enthusiasm of the authors for their research. The organization of the manuscript introduces the reader into a comparatively new field the same way as pioneering authors have approached it." Prof. Dr. Wolfgang Schönpflug, Freie Universität Berlin
Antropologien har i mange år været centralt placeret i udviklingen og brugen af nye teorier og metoder inden for human- og samfundsvidenskaberne. I Viden om verden demonstrerer en række danske forskere, hvordan generel antropologisk viden bliver til gennem en analyse af konkrete sociale forhold. Viden om verden kompletterer den stærkt roste Ind i verden (2003) - også redigeret af Kirsten Hastrup - der viser, hvordan afsættet for den antropologiske viden er et konkret personligt engagement i andre menneskers liv i form af det etnografiske feltarbejde. I Viden om verden er tyngdepunktet forskudt fra metoden til resultaterne, og dermed fra det personlige engagement i felten til det almene vidensudbytte. Den proces, hvormed man kommer fra det empiriske materiale til en egentlig videnskabelig viden, er en analytisk proces. Bogen viser, hvordan denne foregår i praksis i et teoretisk ræsonnement over det konkrete empiriske materiale. Resultatet af analysen er en viden af almen karakter om f.eks. socialitet, solidaritet, handling, intentionalitet, modernitet - for blot at nævne enkelte overskrifter på bogens kapitler. Bogen afsluttes med en diskussion af selve det vidensbegreb, der driver den antropologiske forskning, og det vises, hvordan viden om verden også er en viden i verden - dvs. en virkningsfuld del af samfundet. Viden om verden er redigeret af Kirsten Hastrup, professor ved Institut for Antropologi, Københavns Universitet. Bogens 20 bidrag er alle skrevet af antropologer tilknyttet danske universiteter og forskningsinstitutioner.

The story of "FRANCIENE", is one of so many facets and layers it is difficult to capture its depth in a few short paragraphs. The genre itself defies a label. This compelling story evolves into a cultural delight, opening up a world seldom seen by most folks, and the charm and mystery of this facet alone is a thrilling adventure. The girl whose name gives the title, will disarm and confound you, and demand that you keep your own counsel as to her true self, right to the explosive ending. She wants what she wants, this one, to degrees unimaginable, and the good and decent people caught up and swept along with her, are rapt and astounded just like you will be. This tale is as salty as the waters that bathe the mystical Island, sweet as the people who find love and friendship in the strangest places, and then must hang on for dear life, and yes, funny as the clashing and blending of lifestyles throughout the story. From the coast of Carolina, down to the Florida Everglades, "FRANCIENE", is all these things and more. This is truly a complete read, and the checklist you go through when choosing the book you want to open next, will be filled to running over, after you are finished reading all about "FRANCIENE". However, be forewarned, the story is as frightening as it is every other emotional experience. There are Spirits in here In addition to the unearthly beings, you will find many earthy, and hotly exciting, romantic interludes, each important to the story, and not at all gratuitous or shallow. There are Lovers in here as well. One word of advice... stay out of the last pages until the story leads you there in its own time. You wouldn't open a gift before your birthday, would you? Choose and enjoy this engrossing novel. The story was truly "told to my head", and as I wrote it, I knew even then, that you will love it as much as I do. Jan Robinson
