Abstract
William Schaaf published a list of early books on magic squares [61], which he divided into sections: before 1800; 1800–1880; 1881–1900; and 1901–1940. Frank J. Swetz has an excellent bibliography of fifteen pages in his book, Legacy of the Luoshu [71]. Mark Farrar listed a number of references on the Internet ([87]) in which he found old English books on magic squares not on other lists and, in addition, some that are of special interest to professional magicians, who use them in their performances. However, the most comprehensive survey of the literature is the Bibliography of Harvey Heinz. This list takes upeighteen pages on the Web and begins with sources of information on eighteenth- and nineteenth-century books as well as titles of some books of pre-eighteenth-century periods. His list is divided into sections as follows: books, chapters in books, published papers, papers in the Journal of Recreational Mathematics, and the literature on magic stars. Listed alphabetically by author, each mention gives full references plus Heinz’s comment on the contents and other useful material [91].
Research-Informed Assessment of Adult Learning Disabilities and ADHD
Authors: Mapou Robert L 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
This chapter outlines a research-informed approach to assessment. First, an argument is made for why comprehensive assessment is important for adults and how this type of assessment differs from that focused on neurological disorders. Next, an overview of the assessment is provided, followed by a detailed description of the individual components. These components include the history and record review, tools for assessment of ADHD, neuropsychological assessment, personality assessment, and methods for assessment of feigned learning disabilities and ADHD. Next, the chapter offers suggestions for how abbreviated batteries can be devised when time and/or cost is an issue. This is followed by a more detailed discussion of diagnosis and how research can be used to select neuropsychological domains and test measures for assessment of specific learning disabilities and ADHD. Differential diagnosis is discussed next. The chapter concludes with additional considerations regarding assessment of difficulty learning a foreign language, assessment of learning disabilities and ADHD in individuals with English as a second language, and ways to make evaluation assessment a positive experience for adults who have struggled with academic skills and tests for many years.
Case Examples
Authors: Mapou Robert L 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
The following are three case examples from this author’s practice. They are typical cases and not “pure” examples of learning disabilities or ADHD. Rather, they illustrate the complexity and reality of diagnosing learning disabilities and ADHD in adults. Some portions of the case descriptions are taken from the actual reports, whereas other portions have been summarized for brevity. Identifying information and dates have been altered, although all clients consented to the use of their clinical data here. Note that scores that are below average are usually referred to as such, sometimes with a modifier (e.g., well below average, significantly below average). The word “impaired” is typically avoided in reports, because of the potential emotional impact it can cause for these adults. The Appendix includes a sample report in its entirety, also reproduced with the consent of the client. In this author’s practice, testing is completed in two sessions. The first session, completed by the neuropsychologist, in this case the author, includes a one-hour interview, most of the neuropsychological measures, and the Nelson-Denny Reading Test. It lasts approximately three and a half hours. The second session, which lasts approximately five hours with a break for lunch, is completed by a Master’s level Psychology Associate. It includes the WAIS-III, academic measures from the Woodcock-Johnson-III Tests of Achievement, a continuous performance test, language comprehension measures, any additional neuropsychological or academic measures that are deemed necessary, and the MMPI-2. Psychology Associates are trained to make detailed behavioral observations and to test limits, when judged appropriate.
From the Passenger’s Seat to the Driver’s Seat
Authors: Dill Karen E 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
In America, we spend two-thirds of our waking lives plugged into mass media. Our children spend more time staring at screens than they spend in school. Throughout this book, we have seen many examples of how we are powerfully influenced by mass media and how we are often unaware of this influence. For example, college students transported into the world of a story believed false assertions embedded in that story such as the idea that exercise weakens the heart and lungs. And while their confidence in these new beliefs lagged at first, over time they forgot where they learned the false information and their confidence rose to normal levels.
Agenda Seekers
Authors: Davis Richard 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
On April 6, 2008, Senator Barack Obama, Democratic presidential candidate, stood before an audience of potential donors in San Francisco and told the group that rural Pennsylvanians voting in a presidential primary later that month who had lost jobs in their small towns “get bitter, they cling to guns or religion or antipathy to people who aren’t like them. as a way to explain their frustrations.” Because the fund-raiser was closed to the news media, Obama’s statements did not appear in the press. But a blogger, who was an Obama supporter and had donated to him, was present and audio-recorded the candidate’s speech. After four days of agonizing over whether to blog about the comments, she finally decided that her journalistic role trumped her supporter role. She posted the audio recording on The Huffington Post. Immediately the comments became news. Senator Hillary Clinton used them to prove that her opponent was an elitist. Commentators and pundits weighed in to criticize or defend Obama. Even Republican nominee Senator John McCain, who had largely stayed out of the Democratic nomination battle, joined in the criticism of the Illinois senator by suggesting that Obama’s remarks demonstrated he was out of touch with average Americans.
Beyond the Gas-Guzzler Monoculture
Authors: Sperling Daniel , Gordon Deborah 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
Motor vehicles are fundamentally unchanged from a century ago. Sure, today’s cars are vast improvements over the Model T. They’re more reliable, comfortable, efficient, powerful, clean burning, and safe. But they still have the same carrying capacity, steering and braking devices, fuel economy, and infrastructure for driving and parking. Perhaps most important, the vast majority of vehicles on the road are still powered by an inherently inefficient technology—the four-stroke internal combustion engine developed by Nikolaus Otto in 1867 and first incorporated in a car by Karl Benz in 1885. These ancient engines are still fueled by petroleum, essentially the sole fuel for all global mobility. Gasoline engines still waste more than two-thirds of the fuel they burn and directly emit 20 pounds of CO2 into the air for every gallon of fuel burned. Diesel engines are only slightly better.
Breaking Detroit’s Hold on Energy and Climate Policy
Authors: Sperling Daniel , Gordon Deborah 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
Passage of a new energy bill at the end of 2007 signaled the end of an era in the United States. It was the first time in 32 years that the U.S. Congress had tightened fuel economy standards. It mandated raising the fuel economy of cars and light trucks by 10 miles per gallon—to 35 mpg—by 2020. After decades of blocked fuel economy bills, this action raised the hope that perhaps the long and powerful hold Detroit had had on Congress had at last been broken.
The automakers had accepted the bill only with great reluctance. When the tough mileage standard was first proposed, the Alliance of Automobile Manufacturers, which includes the Detroit Three as well as Toyota, had lobbied against it, claiming it would be “unattainable.” This response was predictable, given the long history of car company lobbyists fighting to block fuel economy legislation. As far back as 1991, when climate change was first entering the political realm, the Wall Street Journal described the automakers’ fight to resist fuel economy standards with these words: “Not since the Chrysler Corporation bailout has Detroit made such a big push in Congress.”2 The article went on to say that the Big Three lobbying group was arguing that fuel economy legislation under consideration at the time “would result in a massive downsizing of automobiles and a proliferation of smaller, more dangerous cars” and quoted GM’s communications director as saying, “This legislation is as potentially damaging as I’ve ever seen.” This refrain began in the early 1970s when fuel economy standards were first being debated and has been repeated over and over ever since.
Aligning Big Oil with the Public Interest
Authors: Sperling Daniel , Gordon Deborah 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
On January 10, 1901, at the Spindletop oil field near Beaumont, Texas, a deafening blast rocketed a column of oil hundreds of feet into the air, wrecking the oil derrick and quickly creating a massive lake. That gusher pumped out nearly 100,000 barrels a day at first, more than the combined production of every other oil well on earth. By tripling U.S. oil production overnight, Spin dletop did more than just help push alternative transportation fuels off the table for nearly a century. Together with the birth of the automotive industry, it also launched oil as a premier industry in the United States. Cars and oil became intertwined in a symbiotic relationship.
For many years it was almost exclusively an American affair. As late as 1930, three-quarters of the world’s cars and more than 90 percent of the world’s oil were being produced in the United States.2 But as the search for low-cost oil intensified, it soon became clear that most of the world’s oil was n’t under U.S. soils. Vast new oil fields were discovered in the Middle East, Africa, and the former Soviet Union. Oil became a global industry. Still, over the past century the large Western investor-owned oil companies—Big Oil—directly or indirectly controlled most of the oil reserves and production in the world. These companies became very good at building huge petro-chemical facilities and aggregating massive amounts of capital. Oil became entrenched in the political, social, and economic lifeblood of modern industrialized countries, above all in America. It made possible the dispersed suburbs and far-flung businesses, which in turn became dependent on cheap, plentiful oil.
Hope for Children: Gifts for Today and Tomorrow
Authors: Scioli Anthony , Biller Henry B 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
In previous chapters, we discussed the development of the mastery, attachment, and survival systems as well as the emergence of spiritual beliefs in children. We also provided examples of precocious spiritual integrity and youthful resilience. In this chapter, we take a look at the phenomenon of childhood hopelessness, examining its reality as well as some of the hidden forces that may underlie the adult denial of this particular inconvenient truth. We also review the related topic of childhood depression, both its telltale signs among children of various ages and the best available forms of treatment for it. The remainder of the chapter is geared toward parents, teachers, and other childcare professionals who seek to be hope providers for despairing children and teens. You will find a wide assortment of ideas for strengthening the attachment, mastery, and survival skills of children, including suggestions for structured individual and group activities and recommendations for hope-building games, books, and films. Many of these ideas are intended for all children, while others are more geared toward children with special hope needs.
Brain Stimulation Methods
Authors: Zorumski Charles F , Rubin Eugene H 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
The use of brain stimulation methods to treat psychiatric disorders has a long history, antedating the modern psychopharmacology era by several decades. These treatments are among the most invasive used in psychiatry. By “invasive” we mean that these treatments are medical procedures. They can have dramatically beneficial effects but carry risks of significant side effects. The best-known and most-studied brain stimulation method is electroconvulsive therapy (ECT), a treatment that has been used in psychiatry since the 1930s. Over the past decade or so, several other methods have been investigated, and these treatments are in various stages of development for potential clinical use. These latter treatments include vagus nerve stimulation, repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation, and deep brain stimulation. We will discuss each of these methods in this chapter and try to clarify their potential in the management of psychiatric disorders.
Garron Top to Westward Ho! The Inland Sea

Abstract
My memories are full of enormous skies, as bright as water, in which clouds sailed, bigger than any others; fleets of monsters moving in one vast school up from the horizon and over my head, a million miles up, as it seemed to me, and then down again over the far-off mountains of Derry. They seemed to follow a curving surface of air concentric with the curve of the Atlantic which I could see bending down on either hand, a bow, which, even as a child of three or four, I knew to be the actual shape of the earth. it was a constant source of pleasure. I can remember jumping on a piece of hard ground, as one jumps on a deck, to test its spring, or simply to enjoy the feel of a buoyant ship beneath me.
Men who Pushed and Went: West-Coast Capitalism, War, and Nationalism
Authors: Harvie Christopher 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
The manufacturing resources at the disposal of the Allies are enormously greater than those which Germany or Austria can command ... and the seas being free to them[they] can more easily obtain material. I do not believe that Great Britain has even yet done anything like what she can do in the matter of increasing her war equipment ... All the engineering works of the country ought to be turned to the production of war material. The population ought to be prepared to suffer all sorts of deprivation and hardships whilst this process is going on.

Waves, Tides, and Sea Level
Authors: Trenhaile A S 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
Waves result from the deformation of the water surface by wind, submarine mass movements, and other agencies. Most are progressive, but standing waves can form in estuaries, bays, and along shorelines. Waves can be classified according to their frequency and magnitude (Fig. 2.1). Capillary waves are very small waves that are resisted by sur-face tension, whereas gravity is the restoring or resisting force for larger waves. The most important gravity waves for coastal scientists are those generated by the wind blowing over a water surface. Long, infragravity waves are of considerable importance to coastal processes, but they are often difficult to detect because of their low heights and long periods.
Urbanization and Social Transformations in East Asia
Authors: Douglass Mike 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
The concern of the discussion that follows is the relationship between culture, social change, and power and the city in the context of an increasingly globalized economy. The aim is to clarify how contemporary issues affect nation-states and territories in East Asia, each of which in its own way is facing a turning-point in development. The general theoretical framework that is developed combines a world systems perspective with insights from recent writing on ‘structuration’and ‘cultural-context’on the urban condition in East Asia. Contemporary urbanization processes and their human consequences in East Asia are seen as being outcomes of interaction between each social formation and the global capitalist system.
Hong Kong: From a Colony to a Model for China
Authors: Li Si-ming 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
Hong Kong, until now a British crown colony, is often said to be ‘a borrowed place on borrowed time’ and a place where the East meets the West. The city is located on the south China coast and consists of Hong Kong Island, ceded to Britain under the Treaty of Nanjing in 1842, Kowloon Peninsula, ceded under the Convention of Beijing in 1860, and the New Territories, the portion leased to Britain for a period of ninety-nine years under a second Convention of Beijing in 1898. Together the entire Territory has a land area of 1,070 square kilometres (Fig. 10.1). Under the Joint Declaration on the Future of Hong Kong signed between the Chinese and British governments in 1984, the sovereignty of Hong Kong will revert back to China on 1 July 1997. From that date onwards, Hong Kong will become a Special Administration Region (SAR) of China with its own mini-constitution-the Basic Laws--under the principle of Hong Kong people governing Hong Kong.
The Social Construction of Global Flows
Authors: Olds Kris 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
This chapter outlines a multi-level theoretical framework that is heavily influenced by the writings of Arjun Appadurai (1990a, 1990b, 1996) and a broad group of geographers and sociologists working in the ‘socio-economic’ school of analysis. The basic aim of the chapter is to highlight how I analyse the intertwined material and non-material global flows which are associated with Pacific Place in Vancouver, and Lujiazui Central Finance District, Shanghai.
Some Final Thoughts
Authors: Olds Kris 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
In this book, I have sought to better understand the nature of the global actors behind the global flows of capital, ideas, and images that are propelling the production of new urban spaces such as Pacific Place in Vancouver, and Lujiazui Central Finance District in Shanghai. Rather than treating the transnational cultures associated with these projects as anonymous and homogeneous agents, controlled and/or controlling from afar, my approach has been to treat them as everyday human beings, with multiple and shifting identities, situated at the intersections of networks of asymmetrical social relations that are place specific (in a plural sense). While the material and non-material resources that transnational cultures ‘command’ may be relatively large, they nevertheless operate within a rapidly changing context; one that opens up both opportunities and constraints. The achievement of goals is never a certainty (witness the failure of the Rogers team to achieve their stated objectives), and is always subject to considerable effort, coordination, and sometimes simple good luck.
The Geographical Structure of Epidemics
Authors: Haggett Peter 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
The ways in which the great plagues of the past and present have spread around the world remains only partly understood. Peter Haggett’s research over the last thirty years has focused on mapping and modelling the paths by which epidemics spread through human communities. In 1998 this led to him being invited to give the inaugural lectures in a new series, the Clarendon Lectures in Geography and Environmental Studies. The resulting book, Geographical Structure of Epidemics, presents an accessible, concise, and well illustrated account of how environmental and geographical concepts can be used to enhance our knowledge of the origins and progress of epidemics, and sometimes to slow to slow or halt their spread.
Anticipating cultural factors of GDI
Authors: Toorn Willem van den , Man Erik de 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
Expectations of benefits to society from the use of GIS have been high from their introduction in the r97os. Subsequently, the notion of the GDI within which GIS applications will be operating has emerged as a precondition for sharing data and information. The Clinton administration and the European Commission described these expectations in high level policy statements in the late r 980s and early 1990s in the context of an emerging information economy. National GDI or even global GDI were described as concepts facilitating access to and responsible use of geospatial data at affordable prices.
Human resources issues in the emerging GDI environment

In an early paper defining GDI, McLaughlin (1991) identified the three stages of geospatial database development which have taken place since the 1960s:
Stage 1 ( c.1960–1980) witnessed the first uses of computers in surveying and mapping, the first efforts at automating land records, the first GIS software being developed in government laboratories and universities, and the first attempts to build urban and regional information systems.
Peasantries in Colonial and Post-Independence Oaxaca (1520—1920)
Authors: Clarke Colin 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
A salient feature of Oaxaca’s peasantries is their history of subjugation to Spanish imperialism, and, after the independence struggle between 1810 and 1821, their continuing subordination to white and mestizo (mixed race) society. The Spanish conquest, though largely peaceful in Oaxaca, destroyed many aspects of Indian social structure and political organization and disrupted traditional religion; led to cataclysmic population decline; and disturbed agricultural production, imposing trade to Europe—especially in cochineal—on to a subsistence-with-market base. Nevertheless, more than elsewhere in Mexico, Indian peasants in Oaxaca clung on to their lands (and their subsistence crops and animals), not only in the mountains, but in the Oaxaca Valley, too (Chance 1989; Taylor 1972).
A Diversity of Habitats and Field Systems
Authors: Denevan William M 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
Greater Amazonia1 (Fig. 4.1) is enormous, and rather than being a uniform region of tropical rainforest and impoverished soil, as often thought, there is a considerable diversity of environmental conditions at both local and regional scales. Likewise, there has been a diversity of indigenous subsistence systems ranging from non-agricultural hunting and gathering to intensive swamp reclamation, with population densities ranging from under 0. l/km2 to several hundred/km2, and with settlements ranging from small, dispersed, and unstable to relatively large and permanent.2 Long-fallow shifting cultivation is the prevailing form of Indian cultivation today; however, there are many variations. In prehistory, more permanent systems of cultivation were probably common (Chapter 7).
Terraced Fields
Authors: Denevan William M 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
In contrast to irrigation, which has received considerable research but no comprehensive synthesis, terracing in the Andes has been little studied until recently. Much of what is known is surveyed in a magnificent volume on New World terracing by Cambridge geographer Robin Donkin (1979). Donkin provides information on regional distributions of terracing, dating, classification, and functions, with numerous maps and photos and an impressive bibliography. Thus a lengthy review is not needed here.
