Author Douglas Powell's love of travel started when he was a teenager in 1944. Alone, he bought a $69 round-trip ticket and took a bus from New Jersey to California to visit family. On the way home, the bus stopped in Washington DC, where the young and naive Powell decided to boldly traipse onto the White House grounds to take a better photograph of the Executive Mansion.

Critical Regionalism: Connecting Politics and Culture in the American Landscape
ISBN: 9780807857946 / Angielski / Miękka / 2007 / 280 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. The idea of "region" in America has often served to isolate places from each other, observes Douglas Reichert Powell. Whether in the nostalgic celebration of folk cultures or the urbane distaste for "hicks," certain regions of the country are identified as static, insular, and culturally disconnected from everywhere else. In Critical Regionalism, Reichert Powell explores this trend and offers alternatives to it.
Reichert Powell proposes using more nuanced strategies that identify distinctive aspects of particular geographically marginal communities without turning them into...

Profiles in Cognitive Aging
ISBN: 9780674713314 / Angielski / Twarda / 1994 / 256 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. After the age of 40, we may notice occasional lapses--a forgotten phone number, a friend's name, or a word that was right on the tip of our tongue. By 60, we may find ourselves wondering who called this morning, why we came into the kitchen, where we parked the car. In an aging nation, where one citizen in seven will be 65 when the next century arrives, these little difficulties raise a larger question: What precisely happens to our thinking as we grow older? What is normal, what is not, and how are we to know the signs? Douglas Powell offers a comprehensive account of cognitive...

The Aging Intellect
ISBN: 9780415996853 / Angielski / Twarda / 2011 / 320 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. Habits such as regular exercise are well known to be linked to better health in older adults. Far less is understood about behaviors that contribute to the optimally aging mind. This may be a reason why only about 25% of elders meet the standards for optimal cognitive aging. The Aging Intellect describes more than a dozen specific characteristics that distinguish older people who remain cognitively vigorous from the majority who are aging normally or are at risk for cognitive impairment. In addition, this book provides professionals with evidence-based recommendations that can... Habits such as regular exercise are well known to be linked to better health in older adults.

Mad Cows and Mother's Milk: The Perils of Poor Risk Communication
ISBN: 9780773516182 / Angielski / Twarda / 1997 / 320 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. The first case study deals with the mad cow fiasco of 1996, one of the most expensive and tragic examples of poor risk management in the last twenty-five years. For ten years the British government failed to acknowledge the possibility of a link between mad cow disease and Creuzfeldt-Jakob disease, the human equivalent, until increased scientific evidence and public pressure forced them to take action, resulting in the slaughter of more than one million cattle. The second study looks at what is commonly known as hamburger disease, caused by a virulent form of the E. coli bacterium, which has...

Nanoscalar Modifications to Tissue Engineering Scaffolds
ISBN: 9783639215069 / Angielski / Miękka / 2009 / 176 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 10-14 dni roboczych. Polymeric scaffolds provide a surface that can facilitate cell growth and tissue morphogenesis. Of particular interest is the role of nanoscale materials on cell behavior. Nanoscale topographies can be generated on two-dimensional polymeric substrates via reactive ion etching. The magnitude and morphology of the topography can be tailored by the gas media, etching time and power used. Cellular morphology, adhesion and differntiation can be controlled by altering the magnitude surface topography. The results suggest that cells can detect nanoscalar 2D surface topographies and alter ...

Communicating the nature and consequences of environmental and health risks is one of the most problematic areas of public policy in Western democracies. Given the perceived risks associated with the food we eat, chemicals in the environment, and modern technologies, consumers need clear and timely explanations of the nature of those risks - but they rarely get them. Using a series of case studies, Douglas Powell and William Leiss outline the crucial role of risk management in dealing with public controversies and analyse risk communication practice and malpractice to provide a set of lessons...
