It is an extraordinary time for adolescents. Social media has a profound positive and negative influence on adolescents, drugs of abuse are readily available, social and sexual mores are changing, discussion about many aspects of racism is more prominent than ever, and surveys indicate that the prevalence of mental illness in teens is higher than any previous time. How Technology, Social Media, and Current Events Profoundly Affect Adolescents examines eighteen contemporary issues and their impact on the biological, psychological, and social domains in adolescents. Using research and clinical studies, this book reviews a host of issues that includes sleep, obesity, anxiety, depression, eating disorders, substance use, suicidality/self-harm, cyberbullying, racism/discrimination, LGBTQ, gender dysphoria, poverty, divorce, bereavement, mortality, and more. In addition to these issues, the book provides an analysis of current events and their impact on adolescents, including the COVID pandemic and war in Ukraine. With over 750 references cited, the book delivers a contemporary overview of major adolescent issues and how they relate to one another, including the impacts of war, technology, and the pandemic on youth. In addition, a broad overview of the major biopsychosocial issues facing adolescents is offered. There are multiple themes that include the importance of role modeling, monitoring, and talking with teens as well as the strong influence of parents, peers, and schools on adolescents.

The tradition of tax-exempt status for nonprofit "charitable" organizations is well established, and few would argue with the principle. But the tax-exempt sector of the economy is vast and rapidly growing, resulting in the loss of billions of dollars of tax revenue. At the same time, we have no consensus on what purpose the charitable tax exemption serves, let alone agreement on what constitutes a charity. In this important addition to the theory of tax law, Colombo and Hall develop an original "donative" theory that links the charitable tax exemption to the ability of an organization to derive donative support from the community. Their theory not only makes intuitive sense but also receives support from economic, political, and moral theory. Its implications would rationalize the charitable tax exemption, comport with legal precedent, and simplify the administration of the law. The Charitable Tax Exemption is a major contribution to the theory of tax law and should be essential reading for a wide range of lawyers dealing with taxes. It will also be enlightening for anyone involved in the operation of a nonprofit organization

This new manual takes a systemic approach with each chapter focusing on one body system. The order of chapters will follow the traditional order found in anatomy or anatomy and physiology courses. The photos will include skeletal images, photomicrographs of histology and cadaver dissections. This atlas includes full-color photographs of actual cadaver dissections instead of idealized illustrations, to accurately and realistically represent anatomical structures. The goal is to produce an atlas that is a strong teaching and learning publication and not just a catalog of photographs.
This book will motivate and engage health professionals to learn the essentials of anatomy and physiology through its visual approach and special pedagogy. The condensed content covers the basics without extensive detail. Core concepts are presented visually to enable them to gain a better understanding of the material. Process diagrams are integrated throughout the chapters to guide health professionals through the material.
Purrfect Tales: The secret story of how Cats changed the world

Little Round Top, the Railroad Cut, Pickett's Charge—these are the turning points within the most important battle of the Civil War. Even careful students of Gettysburg, however, can find themselves disoriented when visiting the site itself. Here, finally, is a convenient guide for serious student and casual visitor alike that makes plain the sweep of events and the geography of the battlefield. This invaluable guidebook was created by scholars who have walked the battlegrounds, consulted with local experts and park guides, and studied the testimony left behind by the participants. Gettysburg will help you find all the important locales and understand what the participants saw in 1863, even if you have no prior knowledge of the battle. Designed to enhance the experience of both first-time and returning visitors, this guide can be used alone or as a supplement to a tour. Clearly written and illustrated with maps and photographs, this is the book to have when you explore Gettysburg.
Stalingrad was one of the largest, bloodiest, and most famous battles in history as well as one of the major turning points of World War II. For four winter months during the battle, German and Soviet forces fought over a single factory inside the city of Stalingrad. Lavishly illustrated with photos and maps, Island of Fire presents a day-by-day—at times hour-by-hour—chronicle of that pitiless struggle as seen by both sides. The book is unparalleled and exhaustive in its research, meticulous in its reconstruction of the action, and vivid in its retelling of the street-by-street, hand-to-hand fighting near the gun factory.
A unique textbook for an undergraduate course on mathematical modeling, Differential Equations with MATLAB: Exploration, Applications, and Theory provides students with an understanding of the practical and theoretical aspects of mathematical models involving ordinary and partial differential equations (ODEs and PDEs). The text presents a unifying picture inherent to the study and analysis of more than 20 distinct models spanning disciplines such as physics, engineering, and finance.The first part of the book presents systems of linear ODEs. The text develops mathematical models from ten disparate fields, including pharmacokinetics, chemistry, classical mechanics, neural networks, physiology, and electrical circuits. Focusing on linear PDEs, the second part covers PDEs that arise in the mathematical modeling of phenomena in ten other areas, including heat conduction, wave propagation, fluid flow through fissured rocks, pattern formation, and financial mathematics.The authors engage students by posing questions of all types throughout, including verifying details, proving conjectures of actual results, analyzing broad strokes that occur within the development of the theory, and applying the theory to specific models. The authors’ accessible style encourages students to actively work through the material and answer these questions. In addition, the extensive use of MATLAB® GUIs allows students to discover patterns and make conjectures.
The Archaeology of the Tibetan Plateau

The Archaeology of the Tibetan Plateau offers a comprehensive survey of past and recent research on the prehistory of the plateau, from its early peopling to the eve of the foundation of the Tibetan Empire in the 7th C. The first English language book-length study of the Tibetan past, it is organized around eight chapters that describe modern and ancient environments, historical speculations about ancient Tibet by mystics, fascists, and contemporary scholars, evidence of the first peoples to live and thrive on the plateau, the arrival of the domesticated plants and animals that transformed the subsistence economy, and the emergence of early forms of status and prestige. The book concludes with a discussion of how the past informs environmental conservation and heritage preservation and explores how archaeological data are used by the Chinese state to create an alternative vision of the Tibetan past at odds with indigenous Tibetan perspectives.
