![]() Fractured Minds: A Case-Study Approach to Clinical Neuropsychology $45.00 For several years, I have used this book for an undergraduate class I teach on Neuropsychology. The chapters, which each focus on a distinct type of brain damage or disorder, are well written and a relatively easy read. They also do an excellent job of covering the science of what causes each type of damage and why the damage impacts behavior the way that it does. My students seem to really enjoy each chapter and Ogden's discussion of her patients stimulate a great deal of discussion in class. I find Ogden's coverage to be more comprehensive and detailed than Oliver Sacks but she is certainly no less interesting to read. ![]() Research and Knowledge at Work: Perspectives, Case-studies and Innovative Strategies $60.95 Leading experts from North America, Japan, Britain and Australia illustrate both practice and theory issues, making this a valuable resource for all those concerned with continuing professional development. ![]() APPALACHIAN CASESTUDY: UFO Sightings, Alien Encounters And Unexplained Phenomena VOL. 2 $15.95 West Virginia journalist Kyle Lovern is at it again-putting together another fascinating book about eyewitness accounts of UFOs and strange encounters from the Appalachian region. His first book, Appalachian Case Study: UFO Sightings, Alien Encounters, and Unexplained Phenomena, became a cult favorite and took readers on an amazing journey of exploration through the eyes of many down-to-earth people. Using his background in newspaper and radio, Lovern conducted in-depth interviews with citizens about their unusual encounters and experiences. Although that book focused solely on West Virginia, this new project, Volume 2, expands into the larger Appalachian mountain region, where many people from neighboring states have experienced unusual events and circumstances they cannot fully explain. Lovern's books are yet more pieces of the mysterious puzzle regarding UFOs, alien abductions, and other unusual phenomena. |
