Define Biological Perspective

English from Biology’s Perspective

Within a very short time, biotechnology has come to play an increasingly important role in many aspects of everyday life. The upsurge of the ‘polluter pays’ principle, increasing pressure to revitalise the likes of former industrial sites and recent developments within the waste industry itself have combined to alter the viability of environmental biotechnology radically in the last five years. Once an expensive and largely unfamiliar option, it has now become a realistic alternative to many established approaches for manufacturing, land remediation, pollution control and waste management. Against a background of burgeoning disposal costs and ever more stringent legislation and liabilities, the application of biologically engineered solutions seems certain to continue its growth

Fostering Development in Midlife and Older Age

This handbook integrates and discusses a growing evidence base concerning individual development across middle and late adulthood. The book includes a comprehensive analysis of what growth implies within midlife and older age and considers how different developmental areas are intertwined (i.e., physical, cognitive, social and emotional development as well as personality growth). As the gap between theory and practice still constitutes an issue in developmental research, the handbook also aims to provide illustrative examples of prevention and intervention from a positive psychology perspective. These were selected to represent a variety of topics, relevant for individual development where research informs practice, ranging from happiness, grandparenthood, love and sexuality to loneliness, depression, anxiety, suicide prevention and coping with death. This handbook is a must-have resource for students and researchers working in developmental psychology, health psychology, gerontology and, public health. It will also be of interest to practitioners such as counsellors, life coaches, psychotherapists, organizational psychologists, health professionals, social workers or public health planners.
