The Many Faces of Elastica
This book provides an introduction to the mathematical aspects of Euler's elastic theory and its application. The approach is rigorous, as well as visually depicted, and can be easily digested. The first few chapters introduce the needed mathematical concepts from geometry and variational calculus. The formal definitions and proofs are always illustrated through complete derivations and concrete examples. In this way, the reader becomes acquainted with Cassinian ovals, Sturmian spirals, co-Lemniscates, the nodary and the undulary, Delaunay surfaces, and their generalizations. The remaining chapters discuss the modeling of membranes, mylar balloons, rotating liquid drops, Hele-Shaw cells, nerve fibers, Cole's experiments, and membrane fusion. The book is geared towards applied mathematicians, physicists and engineers interested in Elastica Theory and its applications.
A History of Nerve Functions
Recent developments have extended our knowledge of the basic functions of nerves: notably, the demonstration of the mechanism within nerve fibers which transports a wide range of essential materials. In order to understand how this discovery occurred, it is necessary to examine its history. The story begins in ancient Greece when nerves were conceived of as channels through which animal spirits carried sensory impressions to the brain. As science developed, the discoveries of various physical and chemical agents supplanted the agency of animal spirits until the molecular machinery of transport was recognized. In this fascinating and complete history, Sidney Ochs begins with a chronological look at this path of discovery, followed in the second half by a thematic approach wherein the author describes the electrical nature of the nerve impulse, fiber form and its changes in degeneration and regeneration, reflexes, learning, memory and other higher functions in which transport participates.

Neuroscience
This book will be of interest to anyone who wishes to know what role mathematics can play in attempting to comprehend the dynamics of the human brain. It also aims to serve as a general introduction to neuromathematics. The book gives the reader a qualitative understanding and working knowledge of useful mathematical applications to the field of neuroscience. The book is readable by those who have little knowledge of mathematics for neuroscience but are committed to begin acquiring such knowledge.
Myoclonic Epilepsies
This volume is the first comprehensive text and clinical reference on idiopathic myoclonic epilepsies of infancy, childhood, adolescence, and adulthood. The world’s foremost experts describe the phenotypes and subtypes of myoclonic epilepsies and the underlying molecular defects and summarize cutting-edge advances in molecular genetics that shed new light on the etiologies of these syndromes. The book offers clinicians much-needed assistance in recognizing and diagnosing idiopathic myoclonic epilepsies and selecting appropriate treatment. Each chapter includes diagnostic and treatment algorithms to guide practitioners in clinical decision making.
Introduction to Health Behavior Theory
"Introduction to Health Behavior Theory presents behavior theory in a concise, practical, and easy-to-understand way geared specifically toward the undergraduate audience. The text focuses exclusively on the most common health behavior change theories, and each theory is presented its own chapter to support student comprehension and reduce confusion"--
(In)Fertile Male Bodies
Esmée Sinéad Hanna and Brendan Gough examine men’s experiences of fertility and lifestyle practices, exploring personal experiences of the role of lifestyle in the quest for conception as well as the broader promotion of ‘lifestyle’ within both clinical and online material as a key aspect for ‘improving’ male fertility.

No matter what your expertise, the CRC Handbook of Alcoholism can help you acquire the necessary skills to treat problem drinkers and alcohol-dependent patients. In three sections - Patient Care, Research,
Resistance Training for Health and Rehabilitation
This text addresses the expanding role of resistance training for health, disease prevention and rehabilitation. It presents a clear and sound rationale for including resistance training as a health benefit, pointing out the areas in which it helps.
Behavioral Neurology of Movement Disorders
Thoroughly revised to reflect the latest advances in treatment and research, this volume is the most comprehensive, current clinical reference on psychiatric symptoms associated with movement disorders. This edition's expanded section on Parkinson's disease includes new chapters on anxiety disorders; sleep disorders, sexual dysfunction, apathy, and other neuropsychiatric complications; behavioral side effects of newer medications; and behavioral changes following deep brain stimulation and ablative surgery. Also included is a chapter discussing Parkinson's disease as a model for psychosocial issues in chronic neurodegenerative disease. Other new chapters cover behavioral concomitants of ataxias, essential tremor, dystonias, Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease, and autoimmune neuropsychiatric disorders.
