Mild Cognitive Impairment
The Classic Edition of this foundational text includes a new preface from Holly A. Tuokko, examining how the field of Mild Cognitive Impairment (MCI) has developed since first publication. Bringing together research from multiple studies and perspectives from various countries, the volume identifies MCI as an important clinical transition between normal aging and the early stages of Alzheimer's disease (AD). The up-to-date preface highlights the expansion in research, examining the benefits of various pharmacological, cognitive and behavioral approaches to intervention. Influenced by recent findings in neuroplasticity across the lifespan, the book recognizes the importance of intervention at the earliest stages of the decline trajectory. It revisits the contested diagnostic approaches for MCI as well as the varying prevalence of MCI internationally, yet points to the need for further longitudinal studies to fully understand the condition. Mild Cognitive Impairment continues to provide a comprehensive resource for clinicians, researchers and students involved in the study, diagnosis, treatment and rehabilitation of people with MCI.

Living with Alzheimer's
News of Alzheimer’s disease is constantly in the headlines. Every day we hear heart-wrenching stories of people caring for a loved one who has become a shell of their former self, of projections about rising incidence rates, and of cures that are just around the corner. However, we don't see or hear from the people who actually have the disease. In Living with Alzheimer’s, Renée L. Beard argues that the exclusively negative portrayals of Alzheimer’s are grossly inaccurate. To understand what life with memory loss is really like, Beard draws on intensive observations of nearly 100 seniors undergoing cognitive evaluation, as well as post-diagnosis interviews with individuals experiencin...
Cross Mentoring
Die Besonderheit dieses Programms zur Personalentwicklung besteht darin, dass Mentor und Mentee nicht aus der gleichen Organisation/dem gleichen Unternehmen kommen. Fundiert und umfassend zeigt dieser Sammelband die breite Vielfalt unterschiedlicher Cross Mentoring Programme auf. Die Bandbreite reicht von Veranstaltern aus der Wirtschaftspraxis und Verbänden bis zu NGOs und Organisationen aus dem Gesundheitswesen. Der Praxis bietet dieses Werk eine Einsicht in Best-Practices und Hilfestellungen für die Entwicklung und Implementierung eigener Cross Mentoring Programme. Die Praxis, Forschung, Lehre und Beratung ziehen Nutzen daraus für empirische Projekte, Studien und praxisrelevante eigene Entwicklungen.
Primates in Perspective
This volume contains forty-seven original essays by seventy leading researchers, offering an overview of all major areas of primatology. Arranged in six sections, the text begins with an introduction to primatology and a review of the natural history of the major taxonomic groups within the order Primates. It goes on to cover methodologies and research design for both field and captive settings; primate reproduction; primate ecology and conservation and their roles in the daily lives of primates; and such aspects of social behavior and intelligence as communication, learning, and cognition. The volume ends with a concluding chapter by the editors that discuss the future of primatological research.
Zwischen Überzeugung und Legitimation
Die empirische Studie geht der Frage nach, auf welche Resonanz, Akzeptanz und Dissonanz das Gender Mainstreaming-Konzept in der Hochschul- und Wissenschaftspraxis stößt. Sie liefert Hinweise darauf, welche individuelle Bedeutung Hochschulakteurinnen und -akteure dem gleichstellungspolitischen Konzept beimessen. Im Ergebnis wird ein systematischer Zusammenhang zwischen der subjektiven Gender (Mainstreaming)-Kompetenz (Wollen-Wissen-Können), den Überzeugungen, den eingesetzten Implementierungspraktiken und ihren Legitimierungen sowie ihrer sozialen Positionierung in der Hochschulhierarchie ersichtlich. Die Interviewstudie bietet einen differenzierten Ansatz für das Verständnis der Langsamkeit von Gleichstellungsprozessen in Organisationen.

Not at Your Service
Multiple answers to the question of what design can be and achieve today. Not at Your Service: Manifestos for Design brings together the broad spectrum of beliefs, subjects and practices of designers at Zurich University of the Arts. It offers different approaches and insights on the present-day role and impact of design. It is not conceived as a finished project, but as a fluid document of its time. Collaborative design, interaction within complex systems, attention economics, the ecological shift, visual literacy, gender-neutral design, "quick and dirty" design ethnography, social responsibility, the value of ugliness, death futures, immersive technologies, identity and crises, design as a transformative discipline – all of these topics are presented for debate with passion, conviction and professional expertise. A compact collection of discursive texts on the many roles and functions of design. Contributions to the current debate on the social role of design. Statements by experts from one of the leading universities of design. All texts are in German and English.
