Was wissen wir heute über die neuronalen Strukturen und Prozesse, die normalem und gestörtem Erleben und Verhalten zu Grunde liegen? Welche Schlussfolgerungen ergeben sich für die Praxis der Psychotherapie, wenn man ihre Problemstellungen und den therapeutischen Veränderungsprozess aus einer neurowissenschaftlichen Perspektive betrachtet? Psychische Störungen sind Reaktionen auf schwerwiegende Verletzungen der menschlichen Grundbedürfnisse. Ihre neuronalen Grundlagen reichen über die Störung selbst hinaus und müssen mitbehandelt werden, um ein möglichst gutes Therapieergebnis zu erzielen. Daraus ergibt sich ein neues Bild von den Aufgabenstellungen und Möglichkeiten der Psychotherapie. Der Band vermittelt die relevanten Erkenntnisse der Neurowissenschaften und formuliert konkrete Leitlinien für eine neurowissenschaftlich fundierte Therapiepraxis.

The present economic system requires us to consume and throw away more and more goods. Yet often it's our desire, and the best interests of the environment, for these goods to last. The contributors to this book, who comprise many of the most significant international thinkers in the field, explore how longer lasting products could offer enhanced value while reducing environmental impacts. If we created fewer but better quality products, looked after them carefully and invested more in repair, renovation and upgrading, would this direct our economy onto a more sustainable course? The solution sounds simple, yet it requires a seismic shift in how we think, whether as producers or consumers, and our voracious appetite for novelty. The complex range of issues associated with product life-spans demands a multidisciplinary approach. The book covers historical context, design, engineering, marketing, law, government policy, consumer behaviour and systems of provision. It addresses the whole range of consumer durables - vehicles, kitchen appliances, audio-visual equipment and other domestic products, furniture and floor coverings, hardware, garden tools, clothing, household textiles, recreational goods and DIY goods - as well as the re-use of packaging. Longer Lasting Products provides policy makers, those involved in product design, manufacturing and marketing, and all of us as consumers, with clear and compelling guidance as to how we can move away from a throwaway culture towards an economy sustained by more durable goods.

The tools and techniques used in Design of Experiments (DoE) have been proven successful in meeting the challenge of continuous improvement in many manufacturing organisations over the last two decades. However research has shown that application of this powerful technique in many companies is limited due to a lack of statistical knowledge required for its effective implementation.

Although many books have been written on this subject, they are mainly by statisticians, for statisticians and not appropriate for engineers. Design of Experiments for Engineers and Scientists overcomes the problem of statistics by taking a unique approach using graphical tools. The same outcomes and conclusions are reached as through using statistical methods and readers will find the concepts in this book both familiar and easy to understand.

Many of us are being misled. Claiming to know dark secrets about public officials, hidden causes of the current economic situation, and nefarious plans and plots, those who spread rumors know precisely what they are doing. And in the era of social media and the Internet, they know a lot about how to manipulate the mechanics of false rumors--social cascades, group polarization, and biased assimilation. They also know that the presumed correctives--publishing balanced information, issuing corrections, and trusting the marketplace of ideas--do not always work. All of us are vulnerable.
