This book is one additional indication that a new field of study is emerging within the social sciences, if it has not emerged already. Here is a sampling of the fruit of a field whose roots can be traced to the earliest medical writings in Kahun Papyrus in 1900 B.C. In this document, according to Ilza Veith, the earliest medical scholars described what was later identified as hysteria. This description was long before the 1870s and 1880s when Char cot speculated on the etiology of hysteria and well before the first use of the term traumatic neurosis at the turn of this Century. Traumatic...

The Posttraumatic Self will be organized into three sections, the first of which will focus on the effects that trauma can have on the stages of attachment early in life, and the continuing psychological mechanisms that can perpetuate later life-span development. The second section will present a new integrative psychobiological model of trauma therapy aimed at furthering the understanding of the transformative processes brought about by traumatic events and the subsequent stress that follows. The final section of the book will address a variety of issues concerning the restoration of meaning...

The only reference on the use of GIS and related technologies in terrain analysis In this landmark publication, reflecting the collaborative effort of thirteen research groups based in four countries, leading experts detail how GIS and related technologies, such as GPS and remote sensing, are now being used, with the aid of computer modeling, in terrain analysis. Continuing the innovative work of Professor Ian Moore, a visionary who saw terrain analysis as a robust method for modeling the large areas and complex spatial patterns of environmental systems, Terrain Analysis puts into...

How do you define a hero? Your parents can be heroes. A football player who scores a winning touchdown is often referred to as a hero. Then there is Sir Nicholas Winton, whose actions in World War II saved the lives of 669 children. For 50 years, he told almost no one about what he did. When a child he saved, now in his sixties, asked why he did it, he said he felt compelled to do something after seeing the squalid conditions in the Czechoslovakian refugee camps. He recently passed away at the age of 106. A young soldier falling on a grenade to save the lives of his fellow soldiers is another...

A digital elevation model (DEM) is a digital representation of ground surface topography or terrain. It is also widely known as a digital terrain model (DTM). A DEM can be represented as a raster (a grid of squares) or as a vector based triangular irregular network (TIN).
