Spasticity is a disabling problem for many adults and children with a variety of neurological disorders such as multiple sclerosis, stroke, cerebral palsy and traumatic brain injury. A practical guide for clinicians involved in the management of spasticity, this book covers all aspects of upper motor neurone syndrome from basic neurophysiology and measurement techniques to practical therapy and the use of orthoses. Surgical techniques are also covered, as well as the particular problems of management of spasticity in childhood. In the second edition of this key text, all chapters have been thoroughly updated, with additional coverage of new techniques and new drugs and therapies, whilst continuing the format that has made the first edition the core text in its field. This guide will be invaluable to physicians, physiotherapists, surgeons, orthotists, clinical engineers and health professionals.

Tout au long du XXe siecle, les discussions autour du statut des theories scientifiques et les developpements technologiques et disciplinaires qui se sont imposes apres la Seconde Guerre mondiale ont bouleverse l'image de la science. La constitution du neurone comme objet scientifique au XXe siecle illustre magistralement cette mutation et en propose un modele base sur la dynamique des disciplines a l'oeuvre dans l'etude d'objets distincts, et pourtant homogenes, reconnus au fil du temps comme unique, conforme a une meme representation commune a plusieurs cultures materielles. Par des processus de convergence entre sous-disciplines des neurosciences, le neurone devient objet unique et central de toute approche scientifique. Il apparait comme un enjeu essentiel et la pierre angulaire des interactions disciplinaires au centre de l'explication scientifique.

Jane Hawking, divorced wife of Professor Stephen Hawking and mother of his three children, relates the story of a marriage begun in optimism, despite facing motor neurone disease. Caring for him meant the willing suppression of Jane`s own academic interest and her personality.

When Pete Etchells was 13, his father died from motor neurone disease. In order to cope, he immersed himself in a virtual world - first as an escape, but later to try to understand what had happened. Etchells is now a researcher into the psychological effects of video games, and was co-author on a recent paper explaining why WHO plans to classify ‘game addiction’ as a danger to public health are based on bad science and (he thinks) are a bad idea. In this, his first book, he journeys through the history and development of video games - from Turing’s chess machine to mass multiplayer online games like World of Warcraft or Fortnite - via scientific study, to investigate the highs and lows of playing and get to the bottom of our relationship with games - why we do it, and what they really mean to us. At the same time, Lost in a Good Game is a very unusual memoir of a writer coming to terms with his grief via virtual worlds, as he tries to work out what area of popular culture we should classify games (a relatively new technology) under.

In 1963, Stephen Hawking contracted motor neurone disease and was given two years to live. Yet he went on to Cambridge to become a brilliant researcher and Professorial Fellow at Gonville and Caius College. He held the post of Lucasian Professor of Mathematics and Theoretical Physics at Cambridge, the chair held by Isaac Newton in 1663, for thirty years. Professor Hawking has over a dozen honorary degrees, was awarded the CBE in 1982. He is a fellow of the Royal Society and a Member of the US National Academy of Science.
