In 1996, enforcement of the mandatory European Union EMI/EMC (electromagnetic interference and compatibility) began. Before that time, many designers were just beginning to worry about "EMI problems". Now, 8 years later, the same old EMI problems are still with us, and some new ones have emerged as well. Anyone selling components or equipment of any sort in Europe and therefore the world for most globally based companies requires compliance with the EMC directive. There is no alternative. The information in this book enables faster, cheaper compliance.

Many patients with stroke, head injuries or dementia suffer severe memory impairment and in many cases improvement may fail to occur. This book, first published in 1984 followed by this second edition in 1992, offers practical guidelines to the problems and is supported by a discussion of theory about memory systems and functioning. It should enable therapists and psychologists to recognize, understand, assess and manage memory problems arising from injury, accident or infection of the brain. The authors are well-known for their interest in memory and memory therapy. Topics covered in this text include: the relationship between memory and practice, assessment, methods for improving memory, organization of memory therapy, selection of appropriate treatments for individual patients, role of the microcomputer in memory rehabilitation, use of drugs in stimulating memory, development of programmes to improve attention and the treatment of the memory-impaired in groups. This second edition has an update on drugs, electronic aids and assessment procedures, with further evidence of the effectiveness of memory therapy. This book would have been an asset for those professionals involved in the rehabilitation of the impaired memory at the time and can still be of value today.

Fully updated to reflect the changes to the Early Years Professional Status (EYPS) qualification, this second edition remains the essential handbook to support all those considering or working towards EYPS and on whichever pathway they embark. Organised into three parts, the text starts by leading you through the initial requirements for entry to the programme, providing an overview of the different pathways. It goes on to focus on the standards against which all EYP candidates are tested, and then finally looks at the new validation process and beyond. Although closely linked to the standards required for EYPS, and their relationship with the Early Years Foundation Stage, the book is not a standard-by-standard manual; it supports you in developing an organic, holistic perspective on childcare and education, combining practical skills with knowledge development. The text includes case studies based on real practice scenarios, ideas for practical activities, further reading, reflection, interviews and advice from EYPS candidates who have successfully negotiated the validation process.
A collection of think pieces on a variety of topics: the environment, business, rights and responsibilities, social issues, ethics, education, sports, religion, and so on. Philosophy with an attitude. Because the unexamined life is dangerous. Note that this is an omnibus of the four Shit that Pisses Me Off volumes (minus the pieces that address sexism, which are anthologized in Sexist Shit that Pisses Me Off), plus over a hundred additional pieces, some of which were previously in The Philosophers’ Magazine, Philosophy Now, Humanist in Canada, and Victoria Times Colonist, some of which are previously unpublished. “An excellent collection of thought-provoking essays and short pieces. Just Think about It! (2nd edn) covers an amazingly wide range of topics that really made me think and reconsider my life, my choices, and our business-as-usual world. So much of what we are bombarded with on social media and mass media, so-called “op-eds,” are just a lot of noise; this author provides something very different. These are thought pieces, succinctly and logically presented for one’s consideration. I came away feeling like I’d had a meaningful interaction and I really enjoyed and appreciated it.” Karen Siddall “Just Think about It! (1st edn) covers a wide range of topics (too numerous to mention), and she has endeavoured to group them together by subject. Some are only a page long, others cover several pages and are more like essays, but they will all make you think!” James M. Fisher, The Miramichi Reader "Tittle's pieces are atypical of philosophical writing in the best ways: of interest to non-specialists, yet instructive and profound, yet entertaining." Ron Cooper, Professor of Philosophy "... a passionate, stylistically-engaging writer ..." George
