From the first day the staff began work on MARVELS AND MYSTERIES OF THE HUMAN MIND, we felt an ever growing sense of awe. One by one, our preconceptions fell away, to be replaced by a sense of wonder. We came to understand that the mind is not one thing, or even the sum of its parts, but literally millions of things happening at once-and then a million more in the blink of an eye, and then a million more-all combining to make us who we are. MARVELS AND MYSTERIES OF THE HUMAN MIND explores fantastic new discoveries about the brain and the way it works. In a highly readable question-andanswer format-minus jargon-readers of all ages will gain insight into their own minds. How do we learn? Why do we forget? What makes us tick? MARVELS AND MYSTERIES OF THE HUMAN MIND is up-to date and authoritative, based on consultations with distinguished experts in psychology, brain physiology, nuclear medicine, anthropology and other disciplines. However, although you will find many checklists and how-to features, it must be emphasized that our purpose is only to inform and entertain. This book should not be used to diagnose or treat mental illness-that is the proper realm of professionals. Our hope is that in MARVELS AND MYSTERIES OF THE HUMAN MIND you will come to share our wonder and excitement. In Part I, The Mysterious Human Mind, find out how psychology began as a science, what actually happens during psychotherapy. In Part II, The Geography of the Brain, read how the brain is formed, how scientists watch it work. In Part III, Our Amazing Senses, discover why we sometimes see things that aren't there, how deaf people cope in a hearing world, what causes persistent dizziness. In Part IV, The World Within, learn how and when the human personality is formed, how creativity can be cultivated, how depression can be conquered. In Part V. The All-Important Family, explore the ways family traditions are passed along, how families shape a child's mind, whether opposites really do attract, how important sex is in marriage. In Part VI, The Outside World, consider the psychological ups and downs of school, sport, work and holidays; how we choose friends, why some people are good Samaritans and others are not. For easy access, every question is listed in the table of contents. As you browse through this book, note the many entertaining illustrated features, such as Classic Cases, Theorists and Theories, Perspectives (insights by distinguished thinkers on subjects ranging from ethics to emotions), and Did You Knows. ?A comprehensive index will lead you quickly to any subject of interest. Like the human mind itself, this book is a rich broth of marvellous facts and revelations. -The Editors. Size: 4to. Numerous Colour & b/w Illustrations (illustratore).…

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware - A great product design is only as good as its ability to be manufactured.Manufacturing Processes Handbook for Design Professionals bridges the gap between CAD design and real-world production, helping you understand how manufacturing decisions affect geometry, tolerances, materials, tooling, cost, and ultimately whether a part can be produced efficiently.Written specifically from the designer's point of view, this practical handbook helps you build the manufacturing intuition needed to make smarter decisions before expensive tooling, supplier revisions, or production problems appear.Inside, you'll learn how to: - Design parts around the real capabilities of CNC milling, turning, injection molding, casting, sheet metal forming, forging, and additive manufacturing- Apply practical Design for Manufacturing principles to reduce unnecessary complexity, setups, tooling, and cost- Understand tolerances, GD&T, fits, datum selection, and tolerance stack-up without losing sight of functional requirements- Select materials and manufacturing processes based on geometry, volume, performance, and economics- Design molded and cast parts with appropriate walls, ribs, draft, fillets, and shrinkage considerations- Move intelligently from prototype to production while communicating more effectively with machinists, moldmakers, foundries, fabricators, and manufacturing suppliers- Evaluate joining, finishing, assembly, quality control, and production ramp-up as part of the complete product-development processRather than simply listing manufacturing rules, the book explains why those rules exist, helping you develop judgment you can transfer to unfamiliar parts and projects.Whether you are a product designer, industrial designer, mechanical engineer, design engineer, or CAD professional, this handbook gives you the manufacturing fluency needed to create parts that work not only on screen-but on the factory floor.Build manufacturability into your designs from the beginning-get your copy today. …
