This article dispels misconceptions regarding treatments and offers comforting, helpful information from a renowned authority on the diagnosis and treatment of attention deficit disorder/attention deficit/hyperactivity disorder. By referencing recent advancements in neuroscience and a variety of case studies from his own clinical practice, the book's author explains what ADD syndrome is, how to recognize it at different ages, and the most effective strategies to treat it. This is one of the first books to address the perplexing contradiction of ADD: how is it possible for some exceptionally clever people to have a chronic difficulty to "pay attention" while being able to concentrate incredibly well on certain subjects that they regard to be of great interest? In contrast to the "willpower" approach, the author of the book discusses how genetic issues with Some persons are unable to cope properly with the demanding demands of childhood, adolescence, and maturity due to the management system of the brain. His book is a dependable and practical resource for medical professionals, psychologists, parents, educators, and the 7 to 9 percent of persons who have ADD/ADHD

Survey research is a powerful tool to help understand how and why individuals behave the way they do. Properly conducted, surveys can provide accurate insights into areas such as attitudes, opinions, motivations, and values, which serve as the drivers of individual behavior. This two-volume book is intended to introduce fundamentals of good survey research to students and practitioners of the survey process as well as end-users of survey information. This second volume focuses on carrying out a survey- including how to formulate survey questions, steps that researchers must use when conducting the survey, and impacts of rapidly changing technology on survey design and execution. The authors conclude with an important, but often neglected aspect of surveys-the presentation of results in different formats appropriate to different audiences.

Survey research is a powerful tool used in business, health care, government, and other fields that seek to understand how and why individuals behave the way they do. Properly conducted, surveys can provide accurate insights into areas such as attitudes, opinions, motivations, and values that serve as the drivers of individual behavior. This two-volume set is intended to introduce fundamentals of good survey research to students and practitioners of the survey process as well as end users of survey information. It describes key survey components needed to design, understand, and use surveys effectively and avoid the pitfalls stemming from bad survey construction and inappropriate methods. In this first volume, the authors concentrate on the fundamentals of survey development and design as well as provide a review of key components in survey.

"This two-volume biographical work provides a foundational introduction to Friedman's role in several major economic debates that took place over four decades in the US, from 1932 through the end of 1972. The debates considered include both those that were largely carried out in the economic-research literature and those that primarily proceeded in the media or in policy forums. Nelson writes from a unique vantage point, as he draws from his own expertise in monetary economics, and has immersed himself in Friedman's Hoover Institution archives, allowing him unparalleled familiarity with Friedman's publications. Further, Nelson differentiates Friedman's ideas from those of his University of Chicago colleagues-particularly with those of George Stigler. And beyond, Nelson is able to refine and explicate the existing Friedman literature. Nelson provides an analytical narrative of Friedman's career from 1932 to 1972 (with the narrative organized primarily in terms of key economic debates), together with an exposition of Friedman's economic framework. The first volume consists of Chapters 1 to 10, covering Friedman's formative and early years through 1951, and Chapters 11 to 15 (the whole of the second volume), consider U.S. economic debate, and Friedman's participation in it, in the years from 1951 to 1972-the first two decades of Friedman's "monetarist period.""--

Stochastic mechanics is a description of quantum phenomena in classical probabilistic terms. This work contains an account of the kinematics of diffusion processes, including diffusions on curved manifolds that are necessary for the treatment of spin in stochastic mechanics.
