This book includes instructions and anatomical illustrations for 137 exercises covering seven body areas (arms, shoulders, chest, back, legs, buttocks, and abdomen)

When is it time to move a person living with dementia into a senior living community? How do you avoid an argument with someone who no longer knows what year it is? What do you do if the person you're caring for has trouble recognizing you? How can you lessen the guilt and anxiety that come with dementia caregiving? All of these questions-and more-are answered in this helpful guide through the difficulties of dementia care.

Since you have opened this book, you or a close friend or family member have likely been impacted by the upsetting and frightening diagnosis of dementia. You may have been told about this diagnosis in a number of different ways. Either the term dementia was used, or other words associated with or more specific than dementia, such as Alzheimer's disease, vascular dementia, Lewy Body disease, frontotemporal dementia, or Pick's disease, were used. You may even have been misinformed at first and told that you were simply facing the normal changes of aging, such as forgetfulness or mild depression.

The formation of new cells, tissues, and organs enables animals to recover from day-to-day wear and tear, injury, and disease. Some animals, such as sea stars, planarians, and lizards, can regenerate entire limbs and other body parts. But in mammals, including humans, some tissues (e.g., heartmuscle) are more resistant to regeneration.Written and edited by experts in the field, this collection from Cold Spring Harbor Perspectives in Biology explores the biological basis of regeneration in diverse animal species and how this knowledge can be applied therapeutically in humans.

Cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) is the dominant model of psychological treatment in the UK and USA. It encompasses a range of approaches underpinned by emphasis on the importance of patterns of thought and behaviour in understanding and alleviating psychological distress. This Very Short Introduction outlines the history of CBT from its origins in behaviour therapy to the present day and explains its theoretical basis. It describes how CBT sessions proceed and the intervention techniques used across a range of problem areas, and considers challenges for the future development of CBT.

No other life form on the planet has generated a brain like ours. How did a bundle of cells weighing just 1.2 kg give rise to conscious, self-aware beings capable of understanding time, language, mathematics and music, of exploring outer space and sequencing their own DNA? The answer to such questions is a 7 million year saga. How the Mind Changed is the definitive book on human brain evolution: a sweeping natural history. Beginning with the first primate brain and the rise of our present-day, large human brain, it will describe the remarkable origin of our species' most mysterious organ, how it has developed, and how it will change in the future. To study the brain is to study the essence of what makes us human.

Advanced Cardiovascular Exercise Physiology, Second Edition, systematically details the effect of acute and chronic exercise training on each component of the cardiovascular system: the heart, the vasculature, and the blood. This text is divided into two sections, beginning with a concise explanation of the structure and function of each component of the cardiovascular system. In the second section, readers encounter detailed discussion of the acute and chronic effects of aerobic and resistance exercise on cardiac function, vascular function, and hemostatic variables.

Glycobiology is now one of the more rapidly growing fields in the natural sciences, with broad relevance to many areas of basic research, biomedicine, and biotechnology, including the chemistry of carbohydrates, the enzymology of glycan formation and degradation, the recognition of glycans by specific proteins, roles of glycans in complex biological systems, and their analysis or manipulation by various techniques. This fourth edition textbook seeks to provide a basic overview, directed toward the advanced undergraduate or the beginning graduate-level student of molecular and cellular biology and biomedicine

New York Times best-selling author and world-renowned primatologist Frans de Waal explores sex and gender in both humans and other animals. Though many scholars now argue that gender differences are purely a product of socialization, primatologist Frans de Waal illustrates in Different the scientific, evolutionary basis for gender differences in humans, drawing on his decades of experience working with our closest ape relatives: chimpanzees and bonobos.

From celebrated genetic anthropologist Jennifer Raff comes the untold story-and fascinating mystery-of how humans migrated to the Americas
