Ordinary People. Extraordinary Impact. Timeless Lessons. For more than 60 years, Peter J. Snow OAM has worked at the crossroads of business, community, and social change-ventures that have touched over 4 million lives. A pioneering entrepreneur and recipient of Australia's highest honour, he now shares stories that prove greatness is often found in unexpected places. Movers & Shakers 1 is a powerful collection of semi-biographical stories about everyday people who have achieved the remarkable. Meet the teacher with 1.6 million TikTok followers, the trailblazing woman test pilot the runner-up in the inaugural Australian Survivor, an international film producer, an engineer who reinvented herself as an award-winning Nordic cracker baker and the co-founder of a boot empire. These stories and many more reveal one simple truth: success isn't about where you start, but the courage to keep going. Inspiring, uplifting, and deeply human, this book will convince you that ordinary people can-and do-create extraordinary impact. Inspiring, uplifting, and deeply human, this book is both a celebration and a call to action-an invitation to believe in the extraordinary power of the ordinary, and to recognise that within each of us lies the potential to move and shake the world.

Rarely have the many mechanisms that might underlie neural plasticity been examined as explicitly as they are in this broad, lavishly illustrated treatment of plasticity in the somatosensory system. The reader is provided with state-of-the-art knowledge of connections at all levels of the somatosensory system. The authors examine the propensity for changes of connectivity in both the mature and developing mammal and make clear proposals regarding the mechanisms underlying these changes. Their functional significance to relevant psychophysical and neurological observations is also discussed.
