www. DrLewisNutrition.comwww. TheNutritionGeniusSeries.com Today, maintaining or improving brain health is a hotly contested and discussed topic. Unfortunately, the overwhelming amount of information is typically not helpful or even based on good science. Moreover, many people do not understand that the answer to optimal health lies in utilizing what Mother Nature provides us, not in taking medications. Regardless of your level of interest about nutrition, your current health status, or your stage in life, "The Complete Nutrition Guide to Cognitive Function - The Nutrition Genius Series(TM)" by Dr. John E. Lewis will give you the best current scientific information that you can use to your benefit. This book summarizes the clinical trials in humans of 19 different classes of nutrients and phytonutrients and their effects on various indicators of cognitive function and brain health. All of this information is based on what the science shows in humans; not information from studies on cells, tissues, or animals and certainly not based on marketing hype. Every statement in this book is supported with the original scientific reference that you can look up to confirm its veracity. You also have a summary table that lists each article that was reviewed, the nutrient or phytonutrient tested, the amount taken, the subjects studied, and the effects on the cognition or brain health outcomes, giving you a quick tool to help you decide if you want to use any of these nutrients or phytonutrients. If you want to learn useful and practical recommendations about nutrients and phytonutrients that may help improve brain health and cognitive function, then this is the right book for you. Dr. Lewis has spent much of his career conducting nutrition research and evaluating different nutrients and phytonutrients for their ability to improve health, so you can count on him to deliver information that is accurate and useful in a no-nonsense manner.

Presenting the major trends, theories, and practices in assessing culturally diverse clients, Advances in Cross-Cultural Assessment comprises chapters from some of the key leading authors in intelligence and intelligence testing. Author Ronald J. Samuda and associates contend that classic IQ tests and traditional standardized tests of cognitive ability are only appropriate for middle-class mainstream individuals, not for those of different cultural backgrounds. For those who grow up in deficient "environmental backgrounds" (inadequate rearing, serious economic stress), the traditional objective standardized tests are neither valid nor reliable in measuring intelligence. A number of scholars, some of whom are among the bookÆs contributing authors, have introduced alternative approaches to assessing cognitive ability in persons from such backgrounds. A groundbreaking volume that encourages professionals to treat individuals on an individual basis, Advances in Cross-Cultural Assessment will heighten the awareness of professionals and academics in clinical and counseling psychology, educational psychology, social work, psychology, public health, and ethnic studies.
