Here is the ultimate explanation of the brain for everyone who thinks: a guide to how the brain works, how our brains came to operate the way they do, and, most important, how to use your precious gray matter to its full capacity. The brain, according to current research, is not some kind of automatic machine that works independently of its user. In fact, the circuitry of the brain actually changes according to how one uses it. Our brains are continuously developing new capacities and refinements—or losing them, depending upon how we use them. Gerald Hüther takes us on a fascinating tour of the brain's development—from one-celled organisms to worms, moles, apes, and on to us humans—showing how we truly are what we think: our behavior directly affects our brain capacity. And the behavior that promotes the fullest development of the brain is behavior that balances emotion and intellect, dependence and autonomy, openness and focus, and ultimately expresses itself in such virtues as truthfulness, considera

While mapped data provide a common ground for discussions between the public, the media, regulatory agencies, and public health researchers, the analysis of spatially referenced data has experienced a phenomenal growth over the last two decades, thanks in part to the development of geographical information systems (GISs). This is the first thorough overview to integrate spatial statistics with data management and the display capabilities of GIS. It describes methods for assessing the likelihood of observed patterns and quantifying the link between exposures and outcomes in spatially correlated data. This introductory text is designed to serve as both an introduction for the novice and a reference for practitioners in the field Requires only minimal background in public health and only some knowledge of statistics through multiple regression Touches upon some advanced topics, such as random effects, hierarchical models and spatial point processes, but does not require prior exposure

Ablow offers pragmatic advice... ！ recommend this book. The tone is friendly and helpful, and because of [the author's recent medical school experience] he can tell you what you need to consider and the consequences of your choices with his own experiences freshly in mind....The organization and presentation are logical and easy to follow.., a walk through the entire process,including applications, and the ultimate rejection or acceptance.The book offers useful advice on college major, course selection and extracurricular activities. The author's pragmatism translates into sound advice for continued moral and intellectual development during a potentially dehumanizing process....This book offers practical suggestions about a very stressful and oftenambiguous process. High school and college students considering a career in medicine would benefit from the one or two evenings needed to read it. Anyone involved in advising students would also find it useful. 作者简介： KEITH RUSSELL ABLOW, M.D.,
