This book is an expression of Dr. Kenji Takada’s interest in the “big picture” of orthodontics during his distinguished career at Osaka University as a faculty member, orthodontic department chairman and dean of the School of Dentistry. It covers all aspects of orthodontics, but it differs from most texts in its effort to integrate neurophysiology and mathematical modeling into a better understanding of the etiology of malocclusion and jaw function and in the incorporation of both neurophysiology and modeling into diagnostic procedures. I first met Kenji in 1982 while he was spending a post-doctoral year in Alan Lowe’s laboratory at the University of British Columbia, and he became a friend with whom I have stayed in touch through the years. In his early years as a faculty member at Osaka, he was already working out some of the mechanisms by which TM joint problems are related to jaw function and dental occlusion. He remained focused for most his career on obtaining a better understanding of adaptations to malocclusion and how this affected orthodontic diagnosis and treatment planning. This book offers a unique summary, taken both from Kenji’s work and from other published data, of the current understanding of the neurophysiology of jaw function and its relationship to orthodontic problems. For example, in addition to describing facial proportions and how to evaluate them in the context of orthodontic treatment, it includes findings from neuroscience about neural recognition of human faces and a discussion of the neural basis for multiple versions of facial beauty. A mathematical model of a non-linear description of diagnostic elements is incorporated into the diagnostic scheme that can simulate expert decisions. The book also includes information about biomechanical modeling of orthodontic tooth movement that goes beyond classic finite element analysis, which has not been successful in predicting the outcome of various force systems against the teeth, and offers a bio-mathematical kinetic model that has the potential to reach that goal. A similar approach is taken in the development of an optimized model that predicts whether non-extraction orthodontic treatment or extractions would be the best option. In short, Elements of Orthodontics is a step beyond existing orthodontic textbooks. There are many new things for orthodontic residents and practitioners to consider and evaluate, on their way to a better understanding of the intellectual foundation of our specialty. From Preface by William R. Proffit, DDS, PhD; Kenan Distinguished Professor, Orthodontics, University of North Carolina School of Dentistry, Chapel Hill, North Carolina |

From the author of the iTunes bestseller “The Yellow Cab of the Universe – The Solar System,” Mr. Albert’s Brain, is a revolutionary Physics textbook designed expressly for iBooks. If physics doesn’t completely blow your mind, you must not be looking at it correctly. The Yellow Cab can take you where no Physics book has gone before — into the mind of a brilliant (though slightly eccentric) scientist who can show you how this world we live in really works! The pages of the book unfold themselves to hundreds of other interactive pages, combining stunning artwork with original animation, video, 3D models that will radically redefine for you how a physics book should look and feel. Mr. Albert will take you on a journey through Motion, Force, Gravity, Heat, Waves, Electricity, Magnetism and lots more. As interesting as it is for adult readers, it is specifically designed to be used as a textbook by high school students (and as a presentation tool for teachers) – especially those who have found science in general and all kinds of textbooks, both paper and digital, lifeless and boring. Mr. Albert’s Brain will grab you with the stickiness of a video game, explaining basic concepts and key facts while taking you on an amazing journey, all the while reinforcing what you have previously learned in the interactive modules. There has never been a Physics book like Mr. Albert’s Brain, and the best way to see what we are talking about is to download the book (or book sample) to experience it for yourself! You will not be disappointed. |

Biology for kids is a brand new ebook that is planned, designed and written from the ground up for children aged 7 to 10. Our author has applied the following approaches consistently throughout the ebook: • Accessible language is used to help diverse learners of different linguistic capability learn and develop knowledge and understanding in Biology. • Clean, crisp and uncluttered postcard-style layout increases readability, learnability and usability. In our opinion, empty is full, simple is beautiful! • Powerful images instantly hook children’s attention to keep them motivated and excited about learning Biology. • Fixed-landscape orientation for reading is adopted, just to break away from the typical portrait reading orientation of most textbooks. • Rich content but not overloaded with complex text and hard facts; after all, we believe learning Biology should be fun and enjoyable! Key features of Biology for kids : • Think about this questions are articulated at the start of each chapter to ignite deeper thinking. • Learn about this provokes interests, thoughts and respects to the chapter context. • Keywords are listed on each chapter opener. • Think, Puzzle, Explore questions are also articulated at the chapter opener to spark critical thinking. • Chapter Review at the end of each chapter contains questions that are organised in Bloom’s taxonomy sequence to develop Higher Order Thinking Skills (HOTS). This ebook covers three topic areas that are organised in a logical and easy-to-follow sequence: • Chapter 1: Basic needs . This chapter helps readers build a base of knowledge about the basic needs of humans, plants and animals. At the end of chapter, readers are expected to know the basic needs of living things and how they support and sustain lives. • Chapter 2: Life processes . This chapter develops fundamental concepts in different life processes carry out by humans. At the end of this chapter, readers are expected to understand the importance of life processes and to think about the necessary actions for living healthy lifestyles, such as healthy eating habits. • Chapter 3: Protection . This chapter helps students identify and describe examples of physical features or behaviours of animals and plants that protect them from predators and extreme climates. At the end of this chapter, readers are expected to understand how animals and plants survive in particular environments.
