Despite their apparently divergent accounts of higher cognition, cognitive theories based on neural computation and those employing symbolic computation can in fact strengthen one another. To substantiate this controversial claim, this landmark work develops in depth a cognitive architecture based in neural computation but supporting formally explicit higher-level symbolic descriptions, including new grammar formalisms.Detailed studies in both phonology and syntax provide arguments that these grammatical theories and their neural network realizations enable deeper explanations of early acquisition, processing difficulty, cross-linguistic typology, and the possibility of genomically encoding universal principles of grammar. Foundational questions concerning the explanatory status of symbols for central problems such as the unbounded productivity of higher cognition are also given proper treatment.The work is made accessible to scholars in different fields of cognitive science through tu

McNally, an author, speaker, and consultant in leadership and brands, and Speak, an author, speaker, and specialist in brand building, explain the concept of developing a personal brand as a process of discovering one's self and aspirations, arguing that the best way to establish a strong, memorable brand is to make a positive difference in the lives of others through lasting impressions that build trusting relationships. They describe how to identify key components of a brand, convey it to the world, see if it aligns with important relationships, and assess progress. This edition has been revised and updated to incorporate new material on how to use social media to build a personal brand and case studies of individuals whose personal brands have impacted the world, such as Temple Grandin and Terry Fox.

This book provides evidence-based answers to the key questions asked by marketers every day. Tackling issues such as how brands grow, how advertising really works, what price promotions really do and how loyalty programs really affect loyalty, How Brands Grow presents decades of research in a style that is written for marketing professionals to grow their brands. It is the first book to present these laws in context and to explore their meaning and application.The most distinctive element to this book is that the laws presented are tried and tested; they have been found to hold over varied conditions, time and countries. This is contrary to most marketing texts and indeed, much information provides evidence that much modern marketing theory is far from soundly based.

Trauma recovery is tricky; however, there are several key principles that can help make the process safe and effective. This book gives patients and therapists alike the skills to understand and implement the eight keys to successful trauma survival: mindfulness; a focus on survival; recovery without false memories; creating an inner dialogue that soothes; building psychological defenses to cope; understanding the role of shame; finding your own recovery pace; and recognizing and using common sense in safe recovery.This is not another book promoting a new method or type of treatment; rather, it is a necessary adjunct to other therapies. After reading this book, readers will be able to recognize their own individual needs and evaluate whether those needs are being met. They will have the tools necessary to put themselves in the driver's seat, navigating their own safe road to recovery.

High Wages (1930) was Dorothy Whipple's second novel. It is about a girl called Jane who gets a badly-paid job in a draper’s shop in the early years of the last century. Yet the title of the book is based on a Carlyle quotation – ‘Experience doth take dreadfully high wages, but she teacheth like none other’ – and Jane, having saved some money and been lent some by a friend, opens her own dress-shop.As Jane Brocket writes in her Persephone Preface: the novel ‘is a celebration of the Lancastrian values of hard work and stubbornness, and there could be no finer setting for a shop-girl-made-good story than the county in which cotton was king.’
