COLLEGE READING: THE SCIENCE AND STRATEGIES OF EXPERT READERS approaches reading from a thinking skills perspective by explaining how we think, learn, and read. This expert group of authors credibly incorporates widely proven brain research and learning theory into a user-friendly dynamic reading textbook aimed at diverse learners. The bridge from the scientific research to the classroom is carefully crafted so that not only will students learn to read more efficiently, but they will also learn how to learn more efficiently. By explaining the brain science of reading, COLLEGE READING empowers students with the knowledge that they can change their brain into a more effective reading brain.
This science fiction story of inner space is based on the popular motion picture, that tells of an experiment in miniaturization to clear a blood clot from the brain of an indispensable scientist (based on the movie). Reuploaded Thanks to floarea

Written in the same user-friendly style that is Dr. Grauer's trademark - this 6th Edition takes ECG education to a new level. Aimed for beginning, novice AND experienced interpreters (acclaimed by students, nurses, physician extenders, EMS personnel, residents, and clinicians in practice of all specialties).
The Secret Life of the Grown-Up Brain: The Surprising Talents of the Middle-Aged Mind
A leading science writer examines how the brain's capacity reaches its peak in middle age. For many years, scientists thought that the human brain simply decayed over time and its dying cells led to memory slips, fuzzy logic, negative thinking, and even depression. But new research from neuroscientists and psychologists suggests that, in fact, the brain reorganizes, improves in important functions, and even helps us adopt a more optimistic outlook in middle age. Growth of white matter and brain connectors allow us to recognize patterns faster, make better judgments, and find unique solutions to problems.
