The Chain-of-Custody shows the businesses comply with the highest social and environmental practices, supporting the world's forests and timber resources. The FSC supports forests, ensuring they are conserved for future generations. It tracks certified material from the forest through the production process all the way to the point of sale.

The Frog Who Croaked Blue: Synesthesia and the Mixing of the Senses
You are probably closely acquainted with at least six or seven people who have synesthesia, but you may not yet know who they are because, until very recently, synesthesia was largely hidden and unknown.
Now science is uncovering its secrets and the findings are leading to a radical rethink about how our senses are organized. In this timely and thought-provoking book, Jamie Ward argues that sensory mixing is the norm even though only a few of us cross the barrier into the realms of synesthesia. The book also explores issues such as acquired synesthesia through brain injury and will therefore be of interest to neuropsychologists.
Our dedicated The Frog Who Croaked Blue website has a free sample chapter, an interactive quiz to test if you have synesthesia, an interview with the author and much more.

New Free Article from The Clinical Neuropsychologist on Traumatic Brain Injury in US Military Veterans
Traumatic brain injury (TBI) has been widely considered the "signature injury" among United States military personnel involved in combat in Iraq and Afghanistan.
The rise in TBI can in large part be accounted for by improvements in protective armor and medical triage saving lives of military personnel that likely would have died from the same serious injuries in previous wars. The corollary of this has been the increased necessity of effective, long-term treatment of those afflicted with TBI, a potentially debilitating but often invisible class of injury, particularly likely to be suffered by survivors of explosive munitions-based attacks.
The report contains important information regarding the rehabilitative treatment and aftercare currently provided to combat veterans in the US, and provisions for improved diagnosis and treatment of TBI.
