Book Description

Handbook of Career Development in Academic Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences is an essential guide to everything that they don’t teach in traditional medical and psychiatric training about how to begin an academic career. Covering many aspects of early career development that the authors wish they had been told about when they started their own academic careers, this book is densely packed with practical information that every academic psychiatrist can use right away. The Handbook of Career Development in Academic Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences is both a training manual and a guide for academicians in the real world. Open to any page and you’ll find an essential topic: preparing your curriculum vitae and interviewing; managing your time; understanding budgets; developing ethics skills; giving difficult feedback; teaching and writing test questions; publishing a manuscript; navigating the grant application process; and mentoring and networking-to name just a few. A unique teaching aid written for a broad audience, Handbook of Career Development in Academic Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences, with helpful illustrations and extensive references, worksheets, and web resources, has earned its place among the core texts for faculty development courses in psychiatry, behavioral sciences, and medicine.

Book Description

This book presents simulated patient cases in psychiatry and behavioral science, providing a real-world context for students and graduates in these areas. Topics are introduced through detailed case vignettes using a model of problem-based learning called progressive disclosure. Sample diagrams known as mechanistic case diagrams illustrate the neurobiological mechanisms underlying behavioral symptoms and show how behavioral and psychosocial factors impact on patient care.

Book Description

The book aims to cover a broad range of topics related to anxiety disorders, including symptomatology, etiology, epidemiology, diagnostic features, comorbidity, clinical neuroscience, genetics, neuroanatomy, neuroendocrinology, neurochemistry, animal models, translational science, functional neuroimaging, and preclinical and clinical psychopharmacology. The book aims at bringing these disciplines together to provide an update of the field and outlook to the future. Therefore, it will be of use to both the non-clinical and clinical expert, who may use it as a detailed reference book, and the novist to the field, to whom it may serve as an introductory text, providing an overview.

Book Description

In just the last few years, behavioral ecologists have begun to address issues in conservation biology. This volume is the first attempt to link these disciplines formally. Here leading researchers explore current topics in conservation biology and discuss how behavioral ecology can contribute to a greater understanding of conservation problems and conservation intervention programs. In each chapter, the authors identify a conservation issue, review the ways it has been addressed, review behavioral ecological data related to it, including their own, evaluate the strengths and weaknesses of the behavioral ecological approach, and put forward specific conservation recommendations. The chapters juxtapose different studies on a wide variety of taxonomic groups. A number of common themes emerge, including the ways in which animal mating systems affect population persistence, the roles of dispersal and inbreeding avoidance for topics such as reserve design and effective population size, the key role of humans in conservation issues, and the importance of baseline data for conservation monitoring and modeling attempts. Each chapter sheds new light on conservation problems, generates innovative avenues of interdisciplinary research, and shows how conservation-minded behavioral ecologists can apply their expertise to some of the most important questions we face today.

Book Description

A single, comprehensive resource for researchers, scientists, and students in environmental microbiology
In recent years, the field of environmental microbiology has taken on new importance. But even with a wealth of new research and new interest in the subject, there has never been a single resource to which professionals and students could turn for reliable, detailed coverage of the field. This six-volume set serves as a comprehensive look at the field complete with the latest cutting-edge research. The Encyclopedia of Environmental Microbiology provides, in one source, all the information researchers and scientists need for this rapidly growing field. It covers the full range of topics, from aquatic microbiology and environmental biotechnology, to public health and water treatment microbiology. Features include:

• Approximately 350 articles provide A-Z coverage of the entire field of environmental microbiology and all important topics
• Extensive cross-referencing, bibliographies, and a complex index
• Illustrated with photographs, tables, and line drawings.

Book Description

Until recently, much of our understanding of microorganisms in the subsurface was largely a matter of speculation. Recent advances in technology and methodology have enabled the discovery and study of microorganisms in deep subsurface environments. Researchers are now able to explore relationships between microbial physiology, taxonomy, and genetics, and the environment of these microorganisms, including geochemical, geological, and hydrological properties. Subsurface Microbiology and Biogeochemistry is a necessary learning tool that focuses on the integration of microbiology and the geosciences.

The subsurface environment provides numerous niches for microorganisms and this book presents research in subsurface microbiology in addition to providing an understanding of the broad range and diversity of the previously “hidden” subterranean organisms. Contributing chapters from experts in their respective disciplines discuss the results of deep subsurface microbiology studies and enlighten the reader as to how the subsurface environment has grown to represent a true frontier for microbiological research.

Subsurface Microbiology and Biogeochemistry reviews an important topic that is at the vanguard of subsurface environment studies with implications on the search for life on other planets. The discovery of subsurface microorganisms creates a multitude of opportunities for microbiologists and engineers in academia and biotechnology, with this book at the forefront of essential reading.

Book Description

Demonstrating the importance of theory for effective clinical practice, this thought-provoking volume brings together leading experts on a range of contemporary cognitive and behavioral approaches. The contributors probe the philosophical and theoretical underpinnings of each model—its assumptions about normal psychological processes, the development and maintenance of psychopathology, and the mechanisms by which therapeutic changes take place. The historical antecedents of the theories are examined and studies that have tested them are reviewed. Vivid case studies show practitioners how theory informs clinical decision making and technique in each of the respective approaches.
