Long-Term Consequences of Adolescent Drug Use: Evidence from Pre-Clinical and Clinical Models
The purpose of this collection is to provide a forum to integrate pre-clinical and clinical investigations regarding the long-term consequences of adolescent exposure to drugs of abuse. Adolescence is characterized by numerous behavioral and biological changes, including substantial neurodevelopment. Behaviorally, adolescents are more likely to engage in risky activities and make impulsive decisions. As such, the majority of substance use begins in adolescence, and an earlier age of onset of use (<15 yr) is strongly associated with the risk for developing a substance use disorder later in life. Furthermore, adolescent drug use may negatively impact ongoing neurological development, which cou...
Hadean Earth
This book consolidates the latest research on the Hadean Eon - the first 500 million years of Earth history - which has permitted hypotheses of early Earth evolution to be tested, including geophysical models that include the possibility of plate tectonic-like behavior. These new observations challenge the longstanding Hadean paradigm – based on no observational evidence - of a desiccated, lifeless, continent-free wasteland in which surface petrogenesis was largely due to extraterrestrial impacts. The eon was termed “Hadean” to reflect such a hellish environment. That view began to be challenged in 2001 as results of geochemical analyses of greater than 4 billion year old zircons from ...

Història de la llengua catalana
Una llengua amb una rica tradició literària, que ha sobreviscut als canvis, a les persecucions polítiques i als reptes comunicatius. Una llengua exposada a la despersonalització, que s'ha enriquit, tanmateix, pel contacte amb altres idiomes i per l'acolliment de població immigrada. Explicar aquests contrasts és l'objectiu d'aquesta segona edició.
