"The practice of design depends on what people are willing to share with us. The joy of creation is nurtured when practical ethical exercises are used during the different phases of the design process. Research in design is an expression of collaboration between individuals, where building a relationship of trust is paramount. The nucleus of this relationship can be divided into three broad concepts that can serve as vehicles for empathy: admiration, commitment, and integrity. We invite you to explore the power of consciousness through actions or activities that provides an empathic approximation to complex human realities. This set of cards contains questions, activities, and advice that we hope will work as a guide to help you design an approach to working with social groups that you can be proud of."-- Tomado de la contracarátula.
This book provides comprehensive information on fungal infections of the central nervous system (CNS). Fungal infections are still a major public health challenge for most of the developing world and even for developed countries due to the rising numbers of immune compromised patients, refugee movements, and international travel. Although fungal infections involving the CNS are not particularly common, when they do occur, the results can be devastating in spite of recent advances and currently available therapies. Further, over the past several years, the incidence of these infections has seen a steep rise among immunodeficient patients. In this context, aggressive surgery remains the mainstay of management, but conservative antifungal drug treatment complemented by aggressive surgical debridement may be necessary. Yet the optimal management approach to fungal infections of the CNS remains controversial, owing to the limited individual experience and the variable clinical course of the conditions. Addressing that problem, this comprehensive book offers the ideal resource for neurosurgeons, neurologists and other specialists working with infectious diseases.

In Where You Go is Not Who You'll Be, Frank Bruni explains why this mindset is wrong, giving students and their parents a new per...
