  Financial and Behavioral Health for Helping Professionals

  Jeffrey Anvari-Clark

  This open access book brings together decades of research and practice on the intersections among financial and behavioral health concerns. By framing financial health as comprised of financial precarity, financial efficacy, and financial well-being, this new addition to the field of behavioral health helps readers understand and address the surge of interest in financial health and wellness from a holistic, psychosocial perspective. The text explores not only how financial difficulties impose hardship on individuals, couples, and families, but also how these concerns shape our feelings, perceptions, attitudes, and behaviors and thereby our health. Case examples throughout illustrate the concepts and provide a basis for engaging, assessing, and intervening.

  Beyond providing an overview of the financial domain of behavioral health from multiple theoretical frameworks, the chapters explore:

  • Trauma, financial anxiety, and financial stressors affecting mental health
  • Barriers to physical health care, financial toxicity, and medical debt
  • Behavioral disorders including problem gambling and spending addiction
  • Social relationship concerns involving financial enabling, infidelity, violence, and abuse
  • A framework to guide professionals from basic financial awareness to client interventions
  • Diagnostic and billing considerations to integrate financial concerns into clinical practice
  • An enhanced SMART Goals approach specifically designed for financial behavior change

  Financial and Behavioral Health for Helping Professionals, through its exploration of money's role in intra- and interpersonal well-being, is an essential resource for professionals in social work, public health, counseling and therapy, health care, and financial planning, counseling, and coaching, and provides an enhanced perspective for research and policy. The book also would benefit professors and graduate students of these disciplines.

  A Brief Introduction to General Topology

  Richard P. Millspaugh

  The material in this text is intended to be accessible to undergraduates who have had an introduction to elementary set theory and proof techniques. It includes sufficient material from general topology to prove the two main topological results found in a standard first semester calculus course: the Intermediate Value Theorem and the Extreme Value Theorem. This material can be found in Chapters 2 through 6 and makes up the bulk of the text. Rather than approaching these topics through use of the standard euclidean metric, it defines the standard topology on R in terms of the usual order on R. A brief introduction to metric topologies is included in the Appendix.

  Introduction to Neuroengineering

  Mercedes Terry, Abigail Tubbs, Blair Dupre, Brandon Fugger, and Enrique Alvarez Vazquez

  "Introduction to Neuroengineering" serves as a comprehensive guide to the fast evolving field at the intersection of neuroscience, engineering, and technology. This book covers foundational concepts like neuron structure, action potentials, and neural modeling, moving through advanced topics like brain-computer interfaces (BCIs), neurostimulation, and imaging technologies (EEG, MEG, fMRI). Each chapter combines theory with practical exercises and lab examples, accessible through a GitHub repository to enhance hands-on learning. Aimed at students, educators, and professionals, this resource offers a foundation and inspiration for innovation in neuroengineering, promoting ongoing exploration in this impactful field.

  APEX Calculus: UND Edition (June 2023)

  Gregory Hartman and Department of Mathematics, University of North Dakota

  This text comprises a three–volume series on Calculus. The first part covers material taught in many “Calculus 1” courses: limits, derivatives, and the basics of integration, found in Chapters 1 through 6. The second text covers material often taught in “Calculus 2”: integration and its applications, along with an introduction to sequences, series and Taylor Polynomials, found in Chapters 7 through 10. The third text covers topics common in “Calculus 3” or “Multivariable Calculus”: parametric equations, polar coordinates, vector–valued functions, and functions of more than one variable, found in Chapters 11 through 15. All three are available separately for free.

  This record contains printable PDF versions of the book as well as an EPUB for use in e-reader devices or apps. To view the most up-to-date web version of the text as well the 3D models included within it, please see the Department of Mathematics Calculus Texts page.

  History of North Dakota

  Elwyn B. Robinson

  Elwyn Robinson's sweeping History of North Dakota has become a classic in American state histories. One of the state's great professors and historians takes into account not only politics, but sociology, economics, ethnology, theology, nature studies and geography to describe North Dakota to the world and to itself.

  Geography, in particular, formed the basis of Professor Robinson's historical interpretation. His 'too-much mistake,' the belief that North Dakota built too much, too fast, in an isolated area buffeted by difficult climate, has become the guiding principle for a quarter century of historical debate on Dakota plains history.

  History of Applied Science & Technology: An Open Access Textbook

  Danielle Mead Skjelver, David Arnold, Hans Peter Broedel, Sharon Bailey Glasco, Bonnie Kim, and Sheryl Dahm Broedel

  This textbook is designed to to meet the needs of History of Applied Science and Technology courses at colleges and universities around the world. Chapters will be organized around the theme of the transformative impact of technological and epistemological changes on worldview and human behavior as they relate to everyday life and global choices. We believe this textbook is the first History of Applied Science and Technology textbook to take a global approach, addressing persistent gaps in coverage in Africa, Asia, and the Americas. This is a collaborative, open access project. If you are interested in participating, please let us know in the Rebus Community forum.

  This PDF is accurate to this textbook as of October 11, 2022. For current updates please check the website at: https://press.rebus.community/historyoftech/
