Psychoneuroscience
by Martin LayThe textbook builds a bridge between the "neurosciences" (theoretical and experimental neurobiology, neurology) and the "psychosciences" (psychology, psychiatry, psychotherapy) and aims to help provide the other disciplines with the most important and scientifically validated knowledge in an understandable form. The question of how mental experience and brain processes relate to each other has long been considered mysterious. In this book you will learn, based on the latest scientific findings, that the two areas form an indissoluble unity, even if we experience and study them differently. We present this unity in concrete terms in psychological-neurobiological theory and psychiatric-psychotherapeutic practice. We treat the principles of neurobiological excitation and information processing, the structure and function of the limbic system, the development of the personality and the interaction of genetic-epigenetic factors and prenatal and postnatal environmental influences, which may be favourable or unfavourable. On this basis, the exemplary presentation of important mental disorders such as addictive disorders, schizophrenic disorders, affective disorders and anxiety disorders takes place. Finally, following in the footsteps of the eminent psychotherapist Klaus Grawe, the concept of "neuropsychotherapy" is introduced and it is shown why psychotherapy and neurobiology belong together and can enrich each other. Our psychoneuroscientific approach paints a picture of man that is not based on opposites, but on an integration of psyche, brain, behavior and experience.
Psychoneurowissenschaften
by Martin LayDas Lehrbuch schlägt eine Brücke zwischen den „Neurowissenschaften“ (theoretische und experimentelle Neurobiologie, Neurologie) und den „Psychowissenschaften“ (Psychologie, Psychiatrie, Psychotherapie) und will dabei helfen, den jeweils anderen Disziplinen die wichtigsten und wissenschaftlich gesicherten Kenntnisse in verständlicher Form zu liefern. Die Frage, wie sich psychisches Erleben und Gehirnvorgänge zueinander verhalten, galt lange als rätselhaft. In diesem Buch erfahren Sie aufgrund neuester wissenschaftlicher Erkenntnisse, dass beide Bereiche eine unauflösliche Einheit bilden, auch wenn wir sie unterschiedlich erfahren und untersuchen. Diese Einheit stellen wir in der psychologisch-neurobiologischen Theorie und der psychiatrisch-psychotherapeutischen Praxis konkret dar. Wir behandeln die Prinzipien der neurobiologischen Erregungs- und Informationsverarbeitung, Aufbau und Funktion des limbischen Systems, die Entwicklung der Persönlichkeit und der dabei stattfindenden günstig oder ungünstig verlaufenden Interaktion genetisch-epigenetischer Faktoren und vorgeburtlich sowie nachgeburtlich stattfindender Umwelteinflüssen. Auf dieser Grundlage erfolgt die beispielhafte Darstellung wichtiger psychischer Störungen wie Suchterkrankungen, schizophrene Störungen, affektive Störungen sowie Angststörungen. In der Nachfolge des bedeutenden Psychotherapeuten Klaus Grawe wird schließlich in das, Konzept der „Neuropsychotherapie“ eingeführt und gezeigt, warum Psychotherapie und Neurobiologie zusammengehören, und sich gegenseitig bereichern können. Unser psychoneurowissenschaftlicher Ansatz zeichnet ein Menschenbild, das nicht auf Gegensätzen, sondern einer Integration von Psyche, Gehirn, Verhalten und Erleben beruht.

Pterosaurs: Natural History, Evolution, Anatomy
by Mark P. WittonThe most authoritative illustrated book on flying reptiles availableFor 150 million years, the skies didn't belong to birds—they belonged to the pterosaurs. These flying reptiles, which include the pterodactyls, shared the world with the nonavian dinosaurs until their extinction 65 million years ago. Some pterosaurs, such as the giant azhdarchids, were the largest flying animals of all time, with wingspans exceeding thirty feet and standing heights comparable to modern giraffes. This richly illustrated book takes an unprecedented look at these astonishing creatures, presenting the latest findings on their anatomy, ecology, and extinction.Pterosaurs features some 200 stunning illustrations, including original paintings by Mark Witton and photos of rarely seen fossils. After decades of mystery, paleontologists have finally begun to understand how pterosaurs are related to other reptiles, how they functioned as living animals, and, despite dwarfing all other flying animals, how they managed to become airborne. Here you can explore the fossil evidence of pterosaur behavior and ecology, learn about the skeletal and soft-tissue anatomy of pterosaurs, and consider the newest theories about their cryptic origins. This one-of-a-kind book covers the discovery history, paleobiogeography, anatomy, and behaviors of more than 130 species of pterosaur, and also discusses their demise at the end of the Mesozoic.The most comprehensive book on pterosaurs ever publishedFeatures some 200 illustrations, including original paintings by the authorCovers every known species and major group of pterosaursDescribes pterosaur anatomy, ecology, behaviors, diversity, and moreEncourages further study with 500 references to primary pterosaur literature
Public Health Entomology
by Jerome GoddardIn the struggle against vector-borne diseases, it is critical that we bridge the gap among vector control workers on the ground (practitioners), public health planners and administrators, and (academic) medical entomologists. This second edition of Public Health Entomology is designed to fit certificate courses in public health entomology offered by universities and U.S. Centers of Excellence. It comprehensively examines vector-borne disease prevention, surveillance, and control from a governmental and public health perspective with worldwide application.Divided into two sections, the book begins with a historical account of the early beginnings of pest control and public health. Next, it outlines the concepts, design, and implementation of a sound public health entomology program, including issues associated with pesticide use, FEMA and other disaster response entities, and an adverse, chemophobic public. The second section provides an overview of some of the most common public health pests that are found globally. Copious photos and line drawings accentuate the text, along with text boxes and sidebars. The new edition addresses "IPM and Alternative Control Methods" in each section, expands the Lyme disease section, and includes other new and emerging tick-borne diseases (TBD). It provides enhanced discussion of working with local political figures and jurisdictions, as well as partnerships with academia, and is generally more worldwide in scope. Author Jerome Goddard designed and implemented the vector control program along the Mississippi Gulf Coast after Hurricane Katrina. His ability to communicate his knowledge and experience to public health students, professionals, and the general public make this book an essential resource for preventing disease from these vector-borne threats.
