Book excerpt: A resident of one of LA's toughest neighborhoods uses his blistering intellect to solve the crimes the LAPD ignores. East Long Beach. The LAPD is barely keeping up with the neighborhood's high crime rate. Murders go unsolved, lost children unrecovered. But someone from the neighborhood has taken it upon himself to help solve the cases the police can't or won't touch. They call him IQ. He's a loner and a high school dropout, his unassuming nature disguising a relentless determination and a fierce intelligence. He charges his clients whatever they can afford, which might be a set of tires or a homemade casserole. To get by, he's forced to take on clients that can pay. This time, it's a rap mogul whose life is in danger. As Isaiah investigates, he encounters a vengeful ex-wife, a crew of notorious cutthroats, a monstrous attack dog, and a hit man who even other hit men say is a lunatic. The deeper Isaiah digs, the more far reaching and dangerous the case becomes.

Book excerpt: In this hotly anticipated follow-up to the smash hit IQ, a New York Times Critics' Best of the Year and winner of the Anthony, Macavity, and Shamus Awards, Isaiah uncovers a secret behind the death of his brother, Marcus. For ten years, something has gnawed at Isaiah Quintabe's gut and kept him up nights, boiling with anger and thoughts of revenge. Ten years ago, when Isaiah was just a boy, his brother was killed by an unknown assailant. The search for the killer sent Isaiah plunging into despair and nearly destroyed his life. Even with a flourishing career, a new dog, and near-iconic status as a PI in his hometown, East Long Beach, he has to begin the hunt again-or lose his mind. A case takes him and his volatile, dubious sidekick, Dodson, to Vegas, where Chinese gangsters and a terrifying seven-foot loan shark are stalking a DJ and her screwball boyfriend. If Isaiah doesn't find the two first, they'll be murdered. Awaiting the outcome is the love of IQ's life: fail, and he'll lose her. Isaiah's quest is fraught with treachery, menace, and startling twists, and it will lead him to the mastermind behind his brother's death, Isaiah's own sinister Moriarty. With even more action, suspense, and mind-bending mysteries than Isaiah's first adventures, Righteous is a rollicking, ingenious thrill ride.

Download or read book Myosins written by James Sellers and published by OUP Oxford. This book was released on 1999-05-13 with total page 253 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Myosins are a diverse superfamily of molecular motor proteins, which share the ability to reversibly bind actin and hydrolyse MgATP. They are capable of either translocating actin filaments or translocating vesicles or other cargo on fixed actin filaments. There are currently 15 distinct classes in the myosins superfamily, based on sequence homology. Myosin II and myosin I proteins are familiar and well studied; while Classes III-XV are less well characterized. All myosins examined to date are multimeric and appear to possess at least three functional domains, a head, neck, and tail. Myosins (second edition) explores the structure and functional properties of myosins, their regulation, and mutational analysis. It has been thoroughly updated since the first edition was published in 1995 including sections on the three additional classes defined by new sequences, information provided by the crystal structure of seven new Dicytostelium motor domains, and data from new techniques such as molecular imaging and tagging proteins with GFP 20. The three human diseases that are now known to be linked to mutations in different myosin heavy or light chains are also covered, including more than 50 mutations associated with hyperotrophic cardiomyopathy.

Download or read book The Nature of Intelligence written by Gregory R. Bock and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2003-10-31 with total page 308 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Evolutionary psychology and behavioural genetics are two successful and important fields in the study of human behaviour, but practitioners in these subjects have different conceptions of the nature of human intelligence. Evolutionary psychologists dispute the existence of general intelligence and emphasise the differences among species. They argue that natural and sexual selection would be expected to produce intelligences that are specialised for particular domains, as encountered by particular species. Behavioural geneticists consider general intelligence to be the most fundamental aspect of intelligence and concentrate on the differences between individuals of the same species. This exciting book features papers and discussion contributions from leading behavioural geneticists, evolutionary psychologists and experts on intelligence that explore the differences and the tensions between these two approaches. The nature of 'g' or general intelligence is discussed in detail, as is the issue of the heritability of intelligence. The alternative approaches that emphasise domain-specific intelligences are explored, alongside wide-ranging discussions on a broad range of issues such as the biological basis for intelligence, animal models and changes in IQ scores over time.

Download or read book The Thematic Apperception Test the Children s Apperception Test and the Senior Apperception Technique in Clinical Use written by Leopold Bellak and published by Allyn & Bacon. This book was released on 1993 with total page 478 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For forty years this book has been the leading source of training for clinicians interested in learning how to use thematic apperception techniques in clinical practice. Interest in these techniques is on the rise; numerous surveys conducted over the last 10 years have found the Thematic Apperception Test to be among the most frequently used instruments across a variety of clinical settings. Dr. Bellak has written this new edition to reflect the current renewal of interest in the T.A.T and related techniques. Like its predecessors, the fifth edition shows the reader in an easy, orderly way how to progress from primary data to clinical diagnosis. With a rich selection of case material and many sample interpretations, Dr. Bellak provides a wealth of examples and actual analyzed test records. He also provides a card-by-card analysis of which T.A.T cards are most likely to be helpful for specific purposes. The fifth edition has been completely updated to reflect the newest research; in addition to earlier research, the annotated bibliography contains descriptive entries on more than 120 papers and studies published since 1980. Current issues and trends are also discussed. Dr. Bellak notes the increasing role of brief psychotherapy and points out the important contribution apperceptive techniques can make in this field. He explains how apperceptive tests can be used to assist in neuropsychological assessment (such as in attention deficit disorder) by analyzing the subject's organization, language use, and attention to pertinent picture details in T.A.T stories. And he shows how the Senior Apperception Technique (S.A.T) may prove helpful in pinpointing problems in the elderly that can be successfully addressed by physicians, social workers, and nurses not specifically trained in clinical psychology. Once again Dr. Bellak has produced a major contribution to the literature of apperceptive techniques, one that will enhance the work of a new generation of psychologists, psychiatrists, psychoanalysts, social workers, and other clinicians.
