ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Yablonsky, Lewis / Yablonsky / Golinger, Eva, PUBLISHER: New York University Press, The effects of gang violence are witnessed every day on the streets, in the news, and on the movie screen. In all these forums, gangs of young adults are associated with drugs and violence. Yet what is it that prompts young people to participate in violent behavior? And what can be done to extract adolescents from the gangster world of crime, death, and incarceration once they have become involved? In Gangsters: 50 Years of Madness, Drugs, and Death on the Streets of America, Lewis Yablonsky provides answers to the most baffling and crucial questions regarding gangs. Using information gathered from over forty years of experience working with gang members and based on hundreds of personal interviews, many conducted in prisons and in gang neighborhoods, Yablonsky explores the pathology of the gangsters' apparent addiction to incarceration and death. Gangsters is divided into four parts, including a brief history of gangs, the characteristics of gangs, successful approaches for treating gangsters in prison and the community, and concluding with a review and analysis of notable behavioral and social scientific theories of gangs. While condemning their violent behavior in no uncertain terms, Yablonsky offers hope through his belief that, given a chance in an effective treatment program, youths trapped in violent behavior can change their lives in positive ways and, in turn, facilitate positive change in their communities and society at large.

Astrology Alive: A Guide to Experiential Astrology and the

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Schermer, Barbara, PUBLISHER: Crossing Press, We usually associate serious astrology with maps and angles and arcane terminology. Barbara Schermer gives us dance, music, art, and drama...exercises, rituals, meditations, and games. Astrology Alive is an entertaining book, valuable for the seasoned astrologer as well as the novice. It breathes life into the signs and planets by teaching us playful ways to experience their archetypal power. But it's fun with a purpose, helping us to better understand and meet the challenges posed by our own horoscopes. In her work, Schermer acknowledges the debt that experiential astrology owes to the psychology of Cad Jung and the humanistic astrology of Dane Rudhyar. She also makes the case for its ancient connection to Florentine renaissance man Marsilio Ficino, who synthesized philosophy, theology, magic, medicine, music, art, and astrology in his own "proto-psychology."

Intercultural Communication Theory: Current Perspectives

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Gudykunst, William B., PUBLISHER: Sage Publications (CA), The seventh volume of the distinguished series International and Intercultural Communication Annuals is published for the first time by SAGE. It is also the first volume to be presented in a new format: theme-oriented volumes that examine key issues in intercultural communication. Twenty four leaders in the field contribute original essays that review the progress made toward developing theories of intercultural communication. Theories based on traditional communication perspectives, new theories that are unique to this new emerging discipline, and contributions from such areas as philosophy, social psychology and linguistics are described. If one were to offer a seminar designed to take stock of theory in intercultural communication, this volume would be a good choice of text. One might well argue that it is the "only" choice...this book provides the beginnings of order in a field that has prided itself on its ecumenical rather than its ordered self-view.' -- "Journal of Communication, Summer

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Gelman, Rochel / Carey, Susan, PUBLISHER: Psychology Press, Reflecting the focus of a Jean Piaget Symposium entitled "Biology and Knowledge: Structural Constraints on Development," this volume presents many of the emergent themes discussed. Among them: * Structural constraints on cognitive development and learning come in many shapes and forms and involve appeal to more than one level of analysis. * To postulate innate knowledge is not to deny that humans can acquire new concepts. * It is unlikely that there is only one learning mechanism, even if one prefers to work with general as opposed to domain-specific mechanisms. * The problems of induction with respect to concept acquisition are even harder than originally thought.
