This book discusses topics concerning digital game-based learning focusing on learning-by-game-building and Web 2.0. The author shows how such an approach can help students gain deep understanding of subjects such as mathematics and history, as well as undergraduate or graduate students' learning of pedagogy and also adult driver's learning of road safety rules.

"Shinrin = Forest Yoku = Bathing. Shinrin-yoku or forest bathing is the practice of spending time in the forest for better health, happiness and a sense of calm. A pillar of Japanese culture for decades, Shinrin-yoku is a way to reconnect with nature, it can include anything from walking mindfully in the woods, to take a break in your local park, from drinking bark tea, to walking barefoot on your lawn. In a time when more than 75 per cent of the world's population live in urban areas, disconnected from the natural world, Shinrin-yoku is like a bridge that bridges gap between ourselves and natureThis book brings together years of cutting edge research from the world expert on Forest Medicine, Dr Qing Li, with practical tips and anecdotes of the life-changing power of Shinrin-yoku. Dr Li's research has proven that spending time around trees (even filling your home with house plants and burning essential tree oils) can reduce blood pressure, lower stress, lower blood sugar levels, boost energy, improve concentration, boost immune system and even help you to lose weight"--Publisher's description

The definitive--and by far the most popular--guide to the therapeutic Japanese practice of shinrin-yoku, or the art and science of how trees can promote health and happiness Notice how a tree sways in the wind. Run your hands over its bark. Take in its citrusy scent. As a society we suffer from nature deficit disorder, but studies have shown that spending mindful, intentional time around trees--what the Japanese call shinrin-yoku, or forest bathing--can promote health and happiness. In this beautiful book--featuring more than 100 color photographs from forests around the world, including the forest therapy trails that criss-cross Japan--Dr. Qing Li, the world's foremost expert in forest medicine, shows how forest bathing can reduce your stress levels and blood pressure, strengthen your immune and cardiovascular systems, boost your energy, mood, creativity, and concentration, and even help you lose weight and live longer. Once you've discovered the healing power of trees, you can lose yourself in the beauty of your surroundings, leave everyday stress behind, and reach a place of greater calm and wellness.

IPv6 Socket API Programmer's Guide covers the IPv6 applicaton programming interfaces (API) extensions and enhancements that have been made to the socket APIs. The book begins with a brief overview of the API specifications along with sample code usage. Then an explanation of the internal kernel implementation that realizes the services offered by the API sets is detailed. Also descriptions of several standard user libraries that have been extended or created to support IPv6 are reviewed. Includes various examples which illustrate how to write portable applications that can run on either IPv4 or IPv6 networks. Succinct treatment of everything you need to know to get up and running with IPv6 socket programming in one affordable volume.

Focusing on more electric aircraft, this monograph delves into aviation electrical appliances and the experimental platform for vacuum switches. It covers interruption, frequency, and post-arc breakdown characteristics of intermediate frequency vacuum switches. Featuring extensive experimental processes and chart analyses, the book serves as a valuable resource for engineers and technicians addressing practical engineering challenges in aircraft electric power systems. It stands out as the first comprehensive work on protection electrical appliances and vacuum interrupters in variable frequency power systems.

Offering a comprehensive analysis of Lhasa's urban development and preservation over thirteen centuries, this book examines the city's evolution within Tibet's social and historical context. It utilizes extensive archival sources and original research, providing a broad perspective on the subject. Additionally, it compares Lhasa's preservation efforts with those of other historical Chinese cities. Enhanced by unique first-hand photos and illustrations, the book serves as a valuable resource for scholars, students, and anyone interested in Tibet's cultural and religious history.

Focusing on adaptive dynamic programming techniques, this book introduces innovative optimal control methods and game schemes for both single-input systems and multi-player scenarios. It explores various objectives for control inputs and examines the convergence of iterative value functions and system stability under these control laws. Theoretical findings are supported by practical application examples, illustrating the methods' effectiveness in real-world contexts.

This book constitutes the proceedings of the joint International Conference APWeb/WAIM 2009 which was held in Suzhou, China, during April 1-4, 2009.
