Defining Postconcussion Syndrome
Authors: Mccrea Michael A 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
This discussion of the definition of PCS closely mirrors that in part one on the challenges of defining MTBI itself. Commonly sited definitions and diagnostic criteria for PCS have been criticized for being either too lenient (i.e., inclusive) or too restrictive (i.e., exclusive). Furthermore, the diagnosis of PCS is based exclusively on self-reported signs and symptoms, which several studies have demonstrated to be highly nonspecific to PCS and common to numerous other medical and psychological conditions. So, those problems discussed in part one that complicate our interpretation of the underlying etiology, natural history, and outcome associated with MTBI are also confronted when we address the subset of MTBI patients who are eventually categorized as exhibiting PCS.
The Pleasure of Art
Authors: Skov Martin 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
Art is a vital part of human existence, perhaps more vital than we normally realize. Because we are still very much the conceptual heirs to the 18th century notion of “fine arts”—the idea that the term “art” refers to a special class of objects, distinctly separable from other kinds of objects (Kristeller, 1951, 1952)—we have a tendency to view art as something refined and extraordinary associated with exceptional occasions—for example, concerts and museum exhibitions, or church visits and other social occasions. However, this is a rather limited conception of art.
The Unimaginable Mathematics of Borges’ Library of Babel
Authors: Bloch William Goldbloom 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
The Library of Babel is arguably Jorge Luis Borges' best known story-memorialized along with Borges on an Argentine postage stamp. Now, in The Unimaginable Mathematics of Borges' Library of Babel, William Goldbloom Bloch takes readers on a fascinating tour of the mathematical ideas hidden within one of the classic works of modern literature. Written in the vein of Douglas R. Hofstadter's Pulitzer Prize-winning Gödel, Escher, Bach, this original and imaginative book sheds light on one of Borges' most complex, richly layered works. Bloch begins each chapter with a mathematical idea-combinatorics, topology, geometry, information theory-followed by examples and illustrations that put flesh on the theoretical bones. In this way, he provides many fascinating insights into Borges' Library. He explains, for instance, a straightforward way to calculate how many books are in the Library-an easily notated but literally unimaginable number-and also shows that, if each book were the size of a grain of sand, the entire universe could only hold a fraction of the books in the Library. Indeed, if each book were the size of a proton, our universe would still not be big enough to hold anywhere near all the books. Given Borges' well-known affection for mathematics, this exploration of the story through the eyes of a humanistic mathematician makes a unique and important contribution to the body of Borgesian criticism. Bloch not only illuminates one of the great short stories of modern literature but also exposes the reader-including those more inclined to the literary world-to many intriguing and entrancing mathematical ideas.
Singular Elliptic Problems: Bifurcation and Asymptotic Analysis
Authors: Ghergu Marius , Rădulescu Vicenţiu D 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
This book provides a comprehensive introduction to the mathematical theory of nonlinear problems described by singular elliptic equations. There are carefully analyzed logistic type equations with boundary blow-up solutions and generalized Lane-Emden-Fowler equations or Gierer-Meinhardt systems with singular nonlinearity in anisotropic media. These nonlinear problems appear as mathematical models in various branches of Physics, Mechanics, Genetics, Economics, Engineering, and they are also relevant in Quantum Physics and Differential Geometry. One of the main purposes of this volume is to deduce decay rates for general classes of solutions in terms of estimates of particular problems. Much of the material included in this volume is devoted to the asymptotic analysis of solutions and to the qualitative study of related bifurcation problems. Numerical approximations illustrate many abstract results of this volume. A systematic description of the most relevant singular phenomena described in these lecture notes includes existence (or nonexistence) of solutions, unicity or multiplicity properties, bifurcation and asymptotic analysis, and optimal regularity. The method of presentation should appeal to readers with different backgrounds in functional analysis and nonlinear partial differential equations. All chapters include detailed heuristic arguments providing thorough motivation of the study developed later on in the text, in relationship with concrete processes arising in applied sciences. The book includes an extensive bibliography and a rich index, thus allowing for quick orientation among the vast collection of literature on the mathematical theory of nonlinear singular phenomena

The book also features a detailed introduction with sections on how and where to find mammals and a listing of the most endangered species in the region.
Retaking Rationality
Authors: Revesz Richard L , Livermore Michael A 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
That America's natural environment has been degraded and despoiled over the past 25 years is beyond dispute. Nor has there been any shortage of reasons why - short-sighted politicians, a society built on over-consumption, and the dramatic weakening of environmental regulations. In Retaking Rationality, Richard Revesz and Michael Livermore argue convincingly that one of the least understood-and most important-causes of our failure to protect the environment has been a misguided rejection of reason. The authors show that environmentalists, labor unions, and other progressive groups have declined to participate in the key governmental proceedings concerning the cost-benefit analysis of federal regulations. As a result of this vacuum, industry groups have captured cost-benefit analysis and used it to further their anti-regulatory ends. Beginning in 1981, the federal Office of Management and Budget and the federal courts have used cost-benefit analysis extensively to determine which environmental, health, and safety regulations are approved and which are sent back to the drawing board. The resulting imbalance in political participation has profoundly affected the nation's regulatory and legal landscape. But Revesz and Livermore contend that economic analysis of regulations is necessary and that it needn't conflict with-and can in fact support-a more compassionate approach to environmental policy. Indeed, they show that we cannot give up on rationality if we truly want to protect our natural environment. Retaking Rationality makes clear that by embracing and reforming cost-benefit analysis, and by joining reason and compassion, progressive groups can help enact strong environmental and public health regulation.
Depression Social and Cognitive Aspects
Authors: Ingram Rick E , Scott Walter D , Hamill Sarah 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
Depression is sometimes referred to as the “common cold” of psychopathology. There are a variety of reasons for this description. For one, the term depression is widely used to denote feelings of sadness. As with a common cold, this state of feeling depressed is experienced by everyone at one time or another. A second reason may be that forms of depression that are not clinically signifi cant, but that are more severe than simple feelings of sadness (i.e., subclinical depression), are not uncommon. A third reason probably refl ects the diversity of depression. For example, DSM–IV–TR lists 10 different types of mood disorder. Depression is common both in experience and in defi nition.
Paranoid and Delusional Disorders
Authors: Blaney Paul H 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
In DSM–IV–TR, the names of three conditions contain the words paranoid or delusional: schizophrenia—paranoid type (PS), delusional disorder (DD), and paranoid personality disorder (PPD). PS and DD are marked by delusions. In DD and PPD distortions of reality coexist with realms of rational, realistic thinking. It is in some ways misleading that both PS and PPD incorporate the wor paranoid, because in PPD the word seems to mean suspicious, whereas in PS it means delusional—with no limit on kind of delusion (Kirkpatrick & Amador, 1995).
Somatoform Disorders
Authors: Bouman Theo K , Eifert Georg H 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
Somatic sensations and symptoms are part and parcel of everyday life, with about 75% of the general population experiencing some form of mild to severe physical complaint in any given month (Kellner, 1986; Kroenke, 2003). In most cases these symptoms spontaneously subside, but in about 25% of the sufferers (Kroenke, 2003) these symptoms persist for a longer period, prompting the sufferers to contact their doctors for medical care.
Sleep/Wake Disorders
Authors: Morin Charles M , Edinger Jack D 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
Sleep/wake disorders are common and debilitating conditions that contribute to emotional distress, social or occupational dysfunction, increased risks for injury, and, in some instances, serious medical illnesses (Partinen & Hublin, 2005; Walsh, Dement, & Dinges, 2005). Although it has long been recognized that sleep disturbances are common symptoms of various psychopathological conditions, their significance as distinct clinical entities has been minimized or ignored by psychologists and other health care providers.
A Guide to the Good Life
Authors: Irvine William B 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
One of the great fears many of us face is that despite all our effort and striving, we will discover at the end that we have wasted our life. In A Guide to the Good Life, William B. Irvine plumbs the wisdom of Stoic philosophy, one of the most popular and successful schools of thought in ancient Rome, and shows how its insight and advice are still remarkably applicable to modern lives. In A Guide to the Good Life, Irvine offers a refreshing presentation of Stoicism, showing how this ancient philosophy can still direct us toward a better life. Using the psychological insights and the practical techniques of the Stoics, Irvine offers a roadmap for anyone seeking to avoid the feelings of chronic dissatisfaction that plague so many of us. Irvine looks at various Stoic techniques for attaining tranquility and shows how to put these techniques to work in our own life. As he does so, he describes his own experiences practicing Stoicism and offers valuable first-hand advice for anyone wishing to live better by following in the footsteps of these ancient philosophers. Readers learn how to minimize worry, how to let go of the past and focus our efforts on the things we can control, and how to deal with insults, grief, old age, and the distracting temptations of fame and fortune. We learn from Marcus Aurelius the importance of prizing only things of true value, and from Epictetus we learn how to be more content with what we have. Finally, A Guide to the Good Life shows readers how to become thoughtful observers of their own life. If we watch ourselves as we go about our daily business and later reflect on what we saw, we can better identify the sources of distress and eventually avoid that pain in our life. By doing this, the Stoics thought, we can hope to attain a truly joyful life.
Two Billion Cars Driving Toward Sustainability
Authors: Sperling Daniel , Gordon Deborah 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
At present, there are roughly a billion cars in the world. Yet within twenty years, the number will double to 2 billion, largely a consequence of China’s and India’s explosive growth. Given that greenhouse gases are already creating havoc with our climate and that violent conflict in unstable oil-rich nations is on the rise, does this mean that matters will only get worse, or are there hopeful signs that effective, realistic solutions can be found? In Two Billion Cars, through a concise history of America’s love affair with cars and an overview of the global auto industry, leading transportation experts Daniel Sperling and Deborah Gordon explain how we arrived at this state, and what we can do about it. Sperling and Gordon outline the problem in full and assign blame squarely where it belongs--on the auto-industry, short-sighted government policies, and consumers. They consider the issue from all angles and take up such topics as getting beyond the gas-guzzler monoculture, breaking Detroit’s hold on energy and climate policy, the search for low-carbon fuels, California’s pioneering role, and more. But they are not Cassandras. Promising advances in both transportation technology and fuel efficiency together with shifts in traveler behavior, they suggest, offer us a way out of our predicament. Ultimately, the authors contend that the two places that have the most troublesome emissions problems--California and China--are the most likely to become world leaders on these issues. Arnold Schwarzenegger’s enlightened embrace of eco-friendly fuel policies, which he discusses in the foreword to Two Billion Cars, and China’s forthright recognition that it needs far-reaching environmental and energy policies, suggest that if they can tackle the issue effectively and honestly, then there really is reason for hope.

An Introduction to Modern Greek Literature
Authors: Beaton Roderick 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
This is a readable introduction to the poetry and fiction published in Greek since national independence in 1821. It is the first full-length study to be devoted to the literature of this period, seen as a whole, and including developments up until the present day. The book highlights those writers and works which have enjoyed critical or popular acclaim,and emphasizes the relationships which link one work with another and with its historical context. It moves from the varying responses to European Romanticismwhich defined Greek literature in the nineteenth-century, culminating in the work of Palamas, Kazantza kis, and Cavafy in the first decades of this century, to the Modernist influenced work of the years from the 1920s to 1945. A post-war reaction against Modernism was followed by growing experimentation and the book deals in detail with this most productive of periods in modern Greek literature. No knowledge of Greek is assumed and all quotations are given both in Greek and in English. An Introduction to Modern Greek will be an important source for both specialists and general readers, bringing to light a rich but neglected part of modern European literature.
Public Moralists
Authors: Collini Stefan 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
This imaginative and unusual book explores the moral sensibilities and cultural assumptions that were at the heart of political debate in Victorian and early twentieth-century Britain. It focuses on the role of intellectuals as public moralists, and suggests ways in which their more formal political theory rested upon habits of response and evaluation that were deeply embedded in wider social attitudes and aesthetic judgements. Stefan Collini examines the characteristic idioms and strategies of argument employed in periodical and polemical writing, and reconstructs the sense of identity and of relation to an audience exhibited by social critics from John Stuart Mill and Matthew Arnold to J. M. Keynes and F. R. Leavis. Dr Collini begins by situating the leading intellectuals in the social and political world of the Victorian governing classes. He explores fundamental values like `altruism’, `character’, and `manliness’, which are revealed as the animating dynamic of much of the political thought of the period. The book assesses the impact of increasing academic specialization across a range of disciplines, and offers an illuminating analysis of the public voice of legal theorists like Maine and Dicey. Through a detailed study of J.S. Mill’s posthumous reputation Dr Collini uncovers the process by which the genealogy of images of national cultural identity is established; and he concludes with a provocative exploration of the nationalist significance of what he calls `the Whig interpretation of English literature’. Public Moralists is a subtle and illuminating study by a leading intellectual historian which will redirect debate about the distinctive development of modern English culture.
Liquid Images: Producing the Global Finanscape in Shanghai, China
Authors: Olds Kris 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
This analysis of the role of elite architects and the production of global flows of images is decidedly non-representational (on non-representational theory, see Thrift, 1996, 1997, 1999b). Rather than providing an interpretation of the meaning and significance of the seductive images and design aspects of the plans for a new international financial centre in Shanghai, attention is directed to the economic, social, and intellectual underpinnings of the production of global flows of images and property development expertise. This approach enables a detailed yet situated exploration to be undertaken on the key role of the Global Intelligence Corps (GIC) in the production of these gleaming new urban spaces-the ‘citadels’ (Soja, 1994; Marcuse, 1997b) of the late twentieth century city.
Ways of Placemaking
Authors: Myers Fred R 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
The Meaningfulness of ‘place’ in Aboriginal Australian cultural life—as an index of a distinctive relationship between Aboriginal persons and their behavioural environment—has been of significant interest to cultural critics, New Age writers, to anthropologists Qackson 1995), and to politicians. It is well-known that hunter-gatherers have been regularly depicted, both in the popular imagination and also in scholarly writing, as in some way ‘closer to nature’ than modern Western people. As Lee and Devore (1968) famously put it, hunting and foraging comprised the human adaptation for 99.9 per cent of our history, and a fascination with hunters-gatherers as the archetypal humans probably underlay the significance that the largely ecological studies of such societies had in recent anthropology, valorizing research on this category of societies (Asch 1979; Myers 1988a; Wilmsen 1983).
Introduction
Authors: Groot Richard , McLaughlin John 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
Over the last three decades, governments and the private sector in the industrial world have invested tens of billions of dollars in the development of geospatial information systems designed largely to serve specific communities (forestry, urban planning, land records management, business geographies, etc.) within a local, national, and even international framework. In the USA, for example, the Mapping Sciences Committee of the National Academy of Sciences reported that annual federal spending on geospatial data activities was in the order US$4.4 billion (Mapping Sciences Committee, 1994).
Now the focus is increasingly shifting to the challenges associated with integrating these systems, building what has come to be called geospatial data infrastructure (GDI). Such infrastructures have been described as information highways, linking environmental, socio-economic and institutional databases (‘horizontal highways’), and providing for the flow of information from local to national levels and eventually to the global community (‘vertical highways’) (Coleman and McLaughlin, 1997).
Funding an NGDI
Authors: Rhind David 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
This chapter outlines the sources and balances of resources currently used to create and maintain NGDI—in so far as these are known. It partitions the costs into those associated with collecting NGDI information (the largest of the identified costs), the human resources costs, those involved in enhancing software, and those incurred in providing the physical infrastructure. For illustration purposes, relevant data from the USA and the UK will be used. We examine the different models for funding NGDis, with particular reference to ‘pay as you go’/‘user pays’ models operating in both the private and public sec tors, and to the ‘taxpayer pays’ model. The advantages and disadvantages of each model are outlined.
A Failure of Treatment
Authors: Lewis Gilbert 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
A serious illness may bring other events into focus. This book is about the circumstances surrounding an illness which struck a man in middle life, its impact on him and on the people of his West Sepik village. It records both failure and continuing belief the failure of local treatments, Western medicine, and of a great communal effort to bring a spirit to heal him. The issues of distress, isolation in illness, and the hope of relief are universal ones, but in this setting in New Guinea they have to be placed in a framework of tentative explanations because of the harsh material conditions. To follow the course of this man’s illness is to see how illness can reshape events and test social ties. The book unfolds a social drama, as it traces people’s anxieties, the pressure upon them to take immediate action to try to remedy the situation, and their growing realization that they have failed.Through the text runs the problem of hope and belief in healing.
The Development of German Private Law
Authors: Wieacker Franz , Weir Tony , Zimmermann Reinhard 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
The way private law has developed in Germany since 1900 reflects great credit on the vitality and flexibility of the courts, and to a somewhat lesser degree on the work of legal scholars. Despite the positivist and slightly anachronistic nature of the BGB they sought to keep pace with the economic and social disruptions which started to overwhelm Germany only half a generation after it came into force.
