Convergence Mental Health
Convergence science is the process whereby innovation comes from the cross pollination of diverse disciplines, industries and cultures, carrying ideas and approaches across boundaries. This book is a blueprint for how this could and should occur in mental health in order to solve the complex, multi-system problems that the field faces.
Finding the Right Words
"This memoir tells the story of a man's deterioration from Alzheimer disease from two perspectives. His daughter, an English professor at Caltech, describes her father's dementia, using her expertise in language and literature as a way to frame his loss of words, spatial orientation, identity, behavioral decorum, and memory. The physician, an academic neurologist at the University of California at San Francisco, explains the science behind Alzheimer disease using his expertise in neurology, articulating to a general audience how dementia assaults the brain"--
Pragmática y discurso oral
La estructura y la función del discurso oral son incomprensibles fuera del prisma de la pragmática. La oralidad, como medio primario de la expresión humana, es la base de la comunicación que los hablantes establecemos en diferentes contextos, desde los más cotidianos hasta los más controlados. ¿Cómo hablantes con diferentes perfiles y retratos siguen las leyes pragmáticas para construir sus discursos orales, desde conversaciones cotidianas y entrevistas hasta charlas y conferencias? Este libro ofrece un conjunto de trabajos empíricos que exploran cómo la naturaleza pragmática del discurso oral se manifiesta en su estructura y en la construcción del significado y su ordenación en discursos tan diversos como es el discurso público y el discurso privado, el discurso político y el discurso clínico, el discurso de hablantes no nativos o el discurso estudiado desde la perspectiva diacrónica. Gracias a ellos, este volumen ofrece una renovada base teórica para el estudio del discurso oral, una panorámica envidiable de métodos y técnicas para su estudio y, de modo particular, una gran aportación al conocimiento científico sobre cómo la pragmática rige la oralidad.

The Case for Marriage
A groundbreaking look at marriage, one of the most basic and universal of all human institutions, which reveals the emotional, physical, economic, and sexual benefits that marriage brings to individuals and society as a whole. The Case for Marriage is a critically important intervention in the national debate about the future of family. Based on the authoritative research of family sociologist Linda J. Waite, journalist Maggie Gallagher, and a number of other scholars, this book’s findings dramatically contradict the anti-marriage myths that have become the common sense of most Americans. Today a broad consensus holds that marriage is a bad deal for women, that divorce is better for childr...
