Paul Casaer. All We Can Get
All we can get, the title of Paul Casaer?s exhibition at De Garage, can be read in different ways. Inspired by all-you-can-eat restaurants, it denounces our human gluttony and desire for more. In today?s society, greed and unbridled consumerism guide our behaviour as individuals and as a species. Social media, advertising, trivial worries and boredom determine daily life. In this postmodern world-as-a-funfair, we hardly know who we are any more. In search of meaning, we seem to be collectively stuck in our role of individualistic, self-centred consumers.00Our needs have been met, and yet a piercing sense of hollowness remains. All we can get refers to the meaninglessness of our existence and the painful lack of content, truthfulness and fundamental values. We wonder desperately: Is this it? Is this all we can get?00Excerpt from text by Koen Leemans.00Exhibition: De Garage, Mechelen, Belgium (25 .09. - 21.11.2021).
Occipital Seizures and Epilepsies in Children
This report of the proceedings of the Colloquium on Occipital Seizures and Epilepsies in Children held in Milan in March 1992 covers topics such as: ontogenesis, structures and function of the occipital lobe; occipital epilepsy in children; and structures and functions of the occipital lobe.
Convertible Houses
"Convertible Houses" showcases examples of "convertible" design-homes thatre designed to accommodate multiple functions. In the first section of theook, case studies illustrate the principles of flexible, multipurpose livinghat enable the occupants to enjoy more functionality in a finite amount ofpace. To further illustrate how convertible features add more versatility toiving space, a second section details the most successful strategiesmployed by architects, designers, and homeowners, with chapters devoted topecific devices in action, such as sliding walls, removable partitions, andnveloping curtains. Finally, for those who don't have the budget to makeechnical improvements, a closing chapter will offer architects' and interioresigners' tips on making aesthetic improvements with simple materials (likeolour and lighting) and furniture.
Motor Development in Early and Later Childhood
Motor development is an integral part of the developmental process. Understanding the organization of the sensory-motor system and its adaptations in response to environmental factors is a vital part of understanding individual development as a whole. This volume describes and discusses human motor development using longitudinal study methods, and from an interdisciplinary perspective.

A Decade of Change and Continuity in Midlife
Each year, for ten uninterrupted years, a group of middle aged adults told researchers about their wants and desires, their life stresses and strains, their sources of happiness and joy, and their perspectives on how their lives were—or were not—changing. This book summarizes the results of this unique and unprecedented study. Using extensive statistical analyses and qualitative case studies, it documents change and consistency in participants’ core values and perceptions of leisure. It describes the vast range of experiences people had each year in areas ranging from changing social relationships to employment and health, and examines how these experiences affected their lives and their views of their life structure, looking at both variations over time for individual participants and differences from one participant to another. This book provides important guidance for scholars and researchers of aging. It also offers fascinating insights for practitioners working with midlife and older adults, as well as for the reader anticipating or experiencing the midlife years.
Successful Aging
More and more people live into old age. This demographic revolution underscores the fact that old age is the last uncharted and unattended phase of the life cycle.
Data Quality in Longitudinal Research
This overview of the central issues of data quality in longitudinal research focuses on data relevant for studying individual development. The topics covered include reliability, validity, sampling, aggregation, and the correspondence between theory and method. More specific, practical issues in longitudinal research, such as the drop-out problem and issues of confidentiality are also addressed. The volume is the result of an interdisciplinary endeavor by leading European scientists to discuss appropriate ways of handling various types of longitudinal data, including psychiatric data, alcohol data, and criminal data.
The Learning-disabled Child
