"Alphabet Kids have disorders that are often concurrent, interconnected or mistaken for one another, for example, the frequent combination of ASD, OCD, APD, SID and ADD - hence, "Alphabet Kids." If a doctor only diagnoses one condition, he or she may have missed others. As the rates of these disorders dramatically rise, Alphabet Kids explains it all. Robbie Woliver covers more than 70 different childhood disorders, providing information on causes, cures, treatments and prognoses. Chapters include a comprehensive list of signs and symptoms, and most of the disorders are illustrated with sometimes heartbreaking, but always inspirational true-life stories of a child with the particular disorder." "This easy-to-read go-to guide will help parents and professionals to sort through all the interconnected childhood developmental, neurobiological and psychological disorders and serve as a roadmap to help start the families' journey for correct diagnoses, effective treatment and better understanding of their Alphabet Kids."--BOOK JACKET.

Includes bibliographical references.A veteran of some of the bloodiest battles of the Civil War, Ambrose Bierce went on to become one of the darkest and most death haunted of American writers, the blackest of black humorists. This volume gathers the most celebrated and significant of Bierce's writings. In the Midst of Life (Tales of Soldiers and Civilians), his collection of short fiction about the Civil War, which includes the masterpieces "An Occurrence at Owl Creek Bridge" and "Chickamauga," is suffused with a fiercely ironic sense of the horror and randomness of war. Can Such Things Be? brings together "The Death of Halpin Frayser," "The Damned Thing," "The Moonlit Road," and other tales of terror that make Bierce the genre's most significant American practitioner between Poe and Lovecraft. The Devil's Dictionary, the brilliant lexicon of subversively cynical definitions on which Bierce worked for decades, displays to the full his corrosive wit. In Bits of Autobiography, the series of memoirs that includes the memorable "What I Saw of Shiloh," he recreates his experiences in the war and its aftermath. The volume is rounded out with a selection of his best uncollected stories. Acclaimed Bierce scholar S. T. Joshi provides detailed notes and a newly researched chronology of Bierce's life and mysterious disappearance --

Introduction to cataloging and classification / by Taylor, Arlene G.,1941-(CARDINAL)152381; Miller, David P.(David Peter),1955-(CARDINAL)269091; Taylor, Arlene G.,1941-Wynar's introduction to cataloging and classification.;

The latest edition of this classic work incorporates changes, both great and small, in the world of cataloging and classification since the turn of the century. Annotation. In the latest edition of this classic work, Arlene Taylor once again offers a complete, up-to-date, and practical guide to the world of cataloging and classification. Since the publication of the ninth and ninth revised editions (2000 and 2004), changes have occurred in almost all areas of the organization of information in general, as well as in cataloging and classification. The tenth edition incorporates the 2002 Anglo-American Cataloguing Rules, Second Edition (AACR2), MARC 21, the 22nd edition of Dewey Decimal Classification, current schedules of the LC Classifications, the latest Library of Congress Subject Headings, and the 18th edition of the Sears List of Subject Headings. The bibliography and glossary have also been substantially reworked. In fact, only the appendix, which covers arrangement dilemmas and filing rules, remains unchanged. In addition, Taylor addresses such vital issues as FRBR (Functional Requirements for Bibliographic Records), FAST (Faceted Application of Subject Terminology), and the Semantic Web.

The many faces of art forgery : from the dark side to shades of gray / by Casement, William,1947-author.;

Includes bibliographical references (pages 217-253) and index.The presence of art forgery. Before the Renaissance ; Renaissance through the seventeeth century ; Eighteenth and nineteenth centuries ; Into the twentieth century ; Forgery's reach ; Celebrity forgers ; From the less notorious to the virtually unknown ; Confronting art forgery -- What is a forgery? what is authentic? Semantic variations ; Intention ; Restoration ; Collaboration ; Appropriation ; Posthumous production ; Cultural appropriation -- A face-off of values. The mind of the forger ; Criminality ; Mitigated culpability and alternative economics ; The perfect fake -- Reflections on the big picture.Forgery is a provocative presence in the art world that captures attention in the press and inspires books about the exploits of famous fraudsters as well as scholarly articles and monographs. But missing until now has been a big-picture look at the phenomenon of art forgery. The Many Faces of Art Forgery provides a unique treatment that features historical highlights, philosophical insights, psychological profiles, economic theories, and legal statutes and cases. Key features include: The story of art forgery from antiquity to the present, including 80 named forgers, the tricks of their trade, and the social forces that ensure the existence of their enterprise; how scientific analysis is both effective and limited in exposing art fakes; multiple definitions for the term "forgery" as applied to art; the effect on authenticity in legal terms, philosophical terms, and public opinion when an artwork undergoes extensive restoration, or artists hire surrogates to make their works, or they appropriate images from other artists or styles from indigenous cultures; forgers' mentalities: their motivations, rationalizations, and strategies; the ethics of art forgery: from criminality to esteem for fooling experts; the possibility and aesthetic worth of a "perfect fake." In all, readers will understand the substantial place forgery occupies in the realm of art, as well as that which constitutes authentic versus inauthentic is not always clear-cut, nor are legal and moral judgments about forgery. In conveying this message, the author provides a wealth of information in an accessible and engaging style suitable for experts and general readers alike.

This new edition has been updated and expanded to include the latest developments in artificial intelligence, including ChatGPT and other chatbots, machine learning, and open-source AI. The text also discusses the role AI and robotics play in popular culture and modern society, recent calls to regulate the artificial intelligence industry and how the industry is expected to evolve in the future. More than 120 easy-to-understand entries, many with illustrations and photographs, cover: Augmented Reality; Machine Learning; Knowledge Acquisition; Pattern Recognition; Self-Management; Virtual Reality. These entries cover many important aspects of AI and robotics, including basic principles of robotic motion and engineering, neural engineering and human-computer interaction, programming languages and operating systems, and the mathematics that govern computation. The role of robotics and AI in war, fraud, and terrorism is also examined, as well as how these fields are portrayed in popular culture, which ultimately reflects how we perceive the line between human and machine. Entries begin by specifying related Fields of Study, followed by an Abstract and then a list of Key Concepts summarizing important points; all entries end with a helpful Further Reading section." -From publisher.
