Sommario/riassunto

Our intelligent life deeply depends on the highly evolved nervous system of the brain, and the brain is one of most exciting themes in science. The authors have studied the control mechanism of the central nervous system in masticatory movements using electromyograms (EMG), electroencephalograms (EEG), and magnetoencephalograms



(MEG). Much of the volume of this book is made up of descriptions of common established knowledge in neurophysiology, whereas short columns, entitled A Different Angle, are interspersed here and there in each chapter. A Different Angle columns were based on students' questions. Many readers of this book may have had questions like those described in A Different Angle at an early stage of their study of neuroscience, but which may have been forgotten. Everybody, including specialists in neuroscience, will be able to read and use this book to gain a better understanding of the field.

Sommario/riassunto

"Welfare to Work in Practice brings together some of the leading international social security experts to discuss the rationale for welfare to work policies, their limitations and problems encountered in practice. Contributors include Jane Millar, Neil Gilbert, Martin Werding, Jonathan Bradshaw and Einar Overbye, who address topics ranging from the linkages between social security and the labour market to how the welfare to work agenda is responding to the needs of special groups such as lone parents, the long-term unemployed and those with a disability. The book puts the arguments and ideas that underlie the new welfare reform agenda under the microscope and explains how it is being implemented in an international context. Several new data sets are analyzed in a collection that covers developments in Australia, Belgium, Denmark, Estonia, Germany, Norway, the UK and the US, as well as several comparative studies. In doing so, this volume helps to bridge the gap between research and policy and demonstrates how policy can respond to the challenges it faces."--Provided by publisher.
