Free Download Lene Arnett Jensen, "Bridging Cultural and Developmental Approaches to Psychology: New Syntheses in Theory, Research, and Policy"
English | ISBN: 0195383435 | 2010 | 360 pages | PDF | 6 MB
This cutting-edge book brings together eminent experts who propose ways to bridge cultural and developmental approaches to human psychology. The experts heed the call of cultural psychology to study different peoples around the world and to recognize that culture profoundly impacts how we think, feel, and act. At the same time, they also take seriously the developmental science perspective that humans everywhere share common life stage tasks and ways of learning. Doing what has not previously been done, the experts integrate key insights and findings from cultural and developmental research. The result is a book brimming with new and creative syntheses for theory, research, and policy.

Free Download The Origin of Higher Taxa: Palaeobiological, Developmental, and Ecological Perspectives by T. S. Kemp
English | December 16, 2015 | ISBN: 022633581X, 022633595X | True EPUB/PDF | 320 pages | 11.5/19.7 MB
In the grand sweep of evolution, the origin of radically new kinds of organisms in the fossil record is the result of a relatively simple process: natural selection marching through the ages. Or is it? Does Darwinian evolution acting over a sufficiently long period of time really offer a complete explanation, or are unusual genetic events and particular environmental and ecological circumstances also involved? With The Origin of Higher Taxa, Tom Kemp sifts through the layers of paleobiological, genetic, and ecological evidence on a quest to answer this essential, game-changing question of biology.

Parenting Today's Children: A Developmental Perspective By Lynn Marotz, Sara Kupzyk

Emizet François Kisangani, "The Belgian Congo as a Developmental State "
English | ISBN: 1032254300 | 2022 | 276 pages | PDF | 26 MB
This book challenges assumptions that poor post-colonial economic performance is always a direct product of colonialism by reconsidering the Belgian Congo (1908-1959) as a developmental state.

HRD Perspectives on Developmental Relationships: Connecting and Relating at Work
English | 2022 | ISBN: 3030850323 | 539 Pages | True EPUB | 4.3 MB
Developmental relationships constitute interdependent, generative connections that promote growth and learning among individuals. While studies reporting the impact of developmental relationships on learning, performance, and career development leaves no doubt about its relevance to the human resource development (HRD) field, we lack an in-depth understanding of how developmental relationships apply to the myriad of topics relevant to contemporary HRD research and practice such as social justice, diversity and equity, leadership development, career transitions, knowledge sharing, organization development, employee engagement, organizational learning culture, globalization, national HRD, and technology at work.

S.J. Vannucci, R.C. Vannucci, S.W. Levison, "Developmental Brain Injury: 3rd Hershey Conference on Developmental Cerebral Blood Flow and Metabolism, Hershey, Pa., June 2002: Proceedings and Abstracts"
English | 2003 | pages: 125 | ISBN: 3805575726 | PDF | 3,7 mb
Special Topic Issue: Developmental Neuroscience 2002, Vol. 24, No. 5 The immature brain is vulnerable to a number of prenatal and early postnatal stresses, such as maternal infection and birth asphyxia, which may produce permanent brain damage leading to neurological dysfunction in the survivors. The dysfunction depends on the developmental stage, as well as the type, severity and duration of the insult. Information obtained from human infants combined with data from several experimental animal models highlight the interaction of hypoxia-ischemia, excitotoxicity, oxidative stress, seizures, and inflammation on the pathophysiology of developmental brain injury and ultimate neurologic outcome. This special issue presents new insights from clinical and basic science research into the pathophysiology of these injuries and reports pre-clinical tests of new therapies to prevent them. Thus, it provides valuable information for developmental neuroscientists, both clinical and basic, who are involved in the study of the immature nervous system, its vulnerability and the consequences for neurologic development.

V & W Destroyers: A Developmental History by John Henshaw
English | August 15, 2020 | ISBN: 1526774828 | 144 pages | EPUB | 63 Mb
The revolutionary battleship Dreadnought of 1906 brought together in one package the new technology of oil fired boilers and steam turbines, and all-big-gun armament; in doing so she rendered all other capital ships then afloat completely obsolete. Ten years later the V&W Class did to destroyers what the dreadnoughts had done to battleships: they set a completely new and higher standard of technology and were a cut above anything that had come before. They were, however, less revolutionary than evolutionary and in this new book John Henshaw takes the reader through all the developmental stages with a detailed history of the step-by-step lessons that were learned, not all of which were fortuitous. The narrative is superbly illustrated with forty-five detailed profile and deck plans.
