Enriched and Impoverished Environments: Effects on Brain and Behaviour is the most recent review of the active area of neuronal plasticity. The question of how experience is recorded is fundamental to psychology; speculations and investigations concerning the role of the brain in this process have entered a particularly exciting phase as of the late 1980's. Manipulations of environmental complexity is one of the earliest methods utilized in the study of neural plasticity. This monograph organizes the evidence to date concerning the responsiveness of neural and behavioural systems to external manipulation of the environment. Further consideration is given to the issues of causation of the general effects of environment on brain and behaviour.

Rwanda has a majesty you simply cannot find in many places: wide-open savanna, the symphonic sounds and sights of the rainforest, the mists that engulf the volcanoes. At a moment when Rwanda is fast becoming a premier destination for wildlife tourism, this book reveals why with its photographic survey of Rwanda's four national parks. It highlights the diverse wildlife that inhabits each park: Akagera National Park is a savanna park, home to the traditional safari "Big Five" (elephant, lion, cape buffalo, leopard, and rhinoceros) and more; Nyungwe National Park is an intact mountain rain forest with over a dozen species of primates; Gishwati-Mukura National Park is regenerating after being nearly destroyed by habitat loss, and has a population of chimpanzees; and Volcanoes National Park, in the Virungas, is the home of the iconic mountain gorilla. This book provides a preview and orientation to Rwanda's national parks, and can serve as a keepsake for travelers after they visit. "Remarkable Rwanda" is not just a slogan.The photography and text are both the work of Dr. Michael J. Renner, scientist and photographer, who has worked in Rwanda for many years. The photos only begin to capture the beauty and grandeur of these animals in their natural habitat. Net proceeds from the sale of this book will support the Gishwati Foundation, dedicated to supporting conservation, education, community development, and scientific research in the region surrounding Gishwati-Mukura Nationa Park in the western province of Rwanda.
