Paperback. Condition: Good. The Neurologic Diagnosis: A Practical Bedside Approach is an introductory text that simplifies the often unwieldy method of making a neurologic diagnosis. Medical students are often intimidated by a deluge of data, extensive differential diagnoses, and have no organizational structure to follow. Diagnostic techniques of general medicine are not applicable. Neurology is a unique specialty since it requires the intermediary step of an anatomic diagnosis prior to proffering a differential diagnosis. Yet the required knowledge of neuroanatomy need not be profound for the student who will specialize in any field other than neurology and neurosurgery. This text is directed to medical students and residents who will all be regularly faced with numerous patients who have neurologic symptomatology. Typical one-month neurology rotations out of four years of medical school is clearly inadequate training to make a cogent neurologic diagnosis, especially since subsequent instruction is commonly provided by upper level residents who have the same background and numerous misconceptions. This is not a comprehensive text. The emphasis in this concise and practical title is on establishing a neuroanatomic diagnosis before formulating a differential diagnosis. In addition, treatment is seldom discussed since it is likely to change radically over time. Focused and succinct, The Neurologic Diagnosis: A Practical Bedside Approach is an invaluable resource for medical students and residents interested in the practice of neurological diagnosis.…

Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. Neuware - People's common sense sometimes selects behavior that doesn't have good outcomes. At times, a person does not fully gather and integrate the available information into an accurate view of unfolding reality.The book distills what students at the University of Wisconsin's in 1974 learned when they challenged themselves with real world problems that encouraged them to take a look at how they gathered and integrated information. The semester's activities not only made explicit the utilities of system dynamics in understanding these problems, the class activities even added some extensions to that science. Time Blind Book 5 'On Knowing the Meaning of Your Decisions' will add a dynamic dimension to your view of reality.While Time Blind Book 5 was written 50 years ago, long before Jack Alpert researched the concept of time blindness, this book provides tools for checking one's use of available information on problems where the behavior has to be taken today and the outcomes happen in 10 or 100 years. This book will stretch you brain in the nicest way.…

Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. Neuware - Before cars were equipped with seatbelts, people instinctively put an arm out to shield passengers from sudden stops. However, this seemingly protective reflex often led to worse injuries. This paradox highlights our 'temporal blindness,' the inability to connect unfolding events to their future outcomes and value what lies ahead.In Time Blind Book Three: Why We Can't See Our Dangerous Future, Jack Alpert exposes how this time blindness extends far beyond the car and road, shaping global crises that threaten our survival. Drawing on decades of engineering research, cognitive science, and real-world examples, Alpert reveals the hidden processes that prevent us from recognizing and responding to oncoming catastrophes.Why do we ignore crucial data about scarce resources, exploding populations, and environmental collapse How do our learned habits and cultural teachings trap us in a cycle of shortsighted decisions Through storytelling and concrete analysis, Alpert illuminates the limitations in how we gather, process, and act on information, underscoring the urgent need to 'see' farther.This is the third installment in the Time Blind series. As with the previous volumes, Alpert challenges readers to confront uncomfortable truths about our collective future. Why We Can't See Our Dangerous Future offers a revelation and rallying cry to overcome our cognitive barriers and reclaim the foresight we need in order build a truly viable tomorrow.…

Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. Neuware - Before children wore seatbelts, adults instinctively used their arms to protect them during sudden stops, often making injuries worse. This paradox reveals our 'temporal blindness,' the inability to foresee and value future conditions. In Time Blind Book 1: Rapid Population Decline or Civilization Collapse, Jack Alpert introduces the most urgent and least understood threat to human survival: ourselves. Through decades of cognitive science and systems modeling, Alpert reveals how our civilization is locked on a path toward collapse because we are blind to motions that determine who gets injured and when.>This is a wake-up call that challenges readers to evolve their thinking and glimpse a viable future on the other side of rapid population decline. In the sequel, Time Blind Book 2, Alpert outlines the only known paths to implement that decline, the cultural and technological shifts required to create a non-injury-producing civilization, and what an 80-year transition to global viability could look like. Rapid Population Decline or Civilization Collapse is the first of five books in the Time Blind series, each offering a deeper understanding of humanity's cognitive limits, systemic dangers, and the extraordinary behavioral shifts needed to avoid collapse. …
