Tone of Voice and Mind is a synthesis of findings from neurophysiology
(how neurons produce subjective feeling), neuropsychology (how the
human cerebral hemispheres undertake complementary
information-processing), intonation studies (how the emotions are
encoded in the tone of voice), and music perception (how human beings
hear and feel harmony). The focus is on the psychological
characteristics that distinguish us from other primate species. At a
neuronal level, we are just another mammalian species, but the
functional specialization of the human cerebral hemispheres has
resulted in three outstanding, uniquely-human talents: language,
tool-usage and music. To understand how the human brain coordinates
those behaviors is to understand who we are.
It takes lots of practice to become proficient using maps, globes, and
atlases.
These cards give students many opportunities to identify types
of maps; use map and globe features such as latitude and longitude;
identify land and water forms; and more. Grades:

The strengths and weaknesses of human memory have fascinated people for hundreds of years, so it is not surprising that memory research has remained one of the most flourishing areas in science. During the last decade, however, a genuine science of memory has emerged, resulting in research and theories that are rich, complex, and far reaching in their implications. Endel Tulving and Fergus Craik, both leaders in memory research, have created this highly accessible guide to their field. In each chapter, eminent researchers provide insights into their particular areas of expertise in memory research. Together, the chapters in this handbook lay out the theories and presents the evidence on which they are based, highlights the important new discoveries, and defines their consequences for professionals and students in psychology, neuroscience, clinical medicine, law, and engineering.
