Literature Searching in Science, Technology, and
ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Pritchard, Eileen / Scott, Paula, PUBLISHER: Heinemann Educational Books, Written from both the librarian's and scientist's point of view, this book is a comprehensive guide to conducting searches of scientific, agricultural, and technological literature. The beginning user will find the work a valuable introduction to search and retrieval techniques, while the experienced user will welcome the volume's overview of the most recent methods and strategies. Because the library is no longer the only place where a researcher may conduct literature searches, this revised edition gives extensive attention to electronic searches from remote sites, such as computers at the home or office. Searching for information is changing from the traditional library setting to the remote environment. Written from both the librarian's and scientist's perspectives, this comprehensive guide overviews fundamental and advanced methods of conducting scientific, technological, and agricultural literature searches from libraries and remote sites, such as computers at the home or office. Beginners will find this book a useful introduction to search and retrieval techniques. At the same time, the computerization of libraries has been so rapid that the experienced researcher will also benefit from this work. The first part of the book overviews and discusses available information sources. The second and third parts examine ways of finding these information sources in the library, and techniques of searching and retrieving this information via computer from outside the library. The volume explains the pathway of information in literature, methods of identifying and citing literature, the usefulness of the online catalog, the special features of abstracts and indexes, the nature of online searching, and the significance of the Internet to users in scientific and research environments. The final chapter gives special attention to the electronic library and the World Wide Web. A concise bibliography directs the reader to some of the most important aids for literature searching.
Heisenberg and the Nazi Atomic Bomb Project, : A
ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Rose, Paul Lawrence, PUBLISHER: University of California Press, No one better represents the plight and the conduct of German intellectuals under Hitler than Werner Heisenberg, whose task it was to build an atomic bomb for Nazi Germany. The controversy surrounding Heisenberg still rages, because of the nature of his work and the regime for which it was undertaken. What precisely did Heisenberg know about the physics of the atomic bomb? How deep was his loyalty to the German government during the Third Reich? Assuming that he had been able to build a bomb, would he have been willing? These questions, the moral and the scientific, are answered by Paul Lawrence Rose with greater accuracy and breadth of documentation than any other historian has yet achieved. Digging deep into the archival record among formerly secret technical reports, Rose establishes that Heisenberg never overcame certain misconceptions about nuclear fission, and as a result the German leaders never pushed for atomic weapons. In fact, Heisenberg never had to face the moral problem of whether he "should" design a bomb for the Nazi regime. Only when he and his colleagues were interned in England and heard about Hiroshima did Heisenberg realize that his calculations were wrong. He began at once to construct an image of himself as a "pure" scientist who could have built a bomb but chose to work on reactor design instead. This was fiction, as Rose demonstrates: in reality, Heisenberg blindly supported and justified the cause of German victory. The question of why he did, and why he misrepresented himself afterwards, is answered through Rose's subtle analysis of German mentality and the scientists' problems of delusion and self-delusion. This fascinating study is a profound effort to understand one of the twentieth century's great enigmas.
When I'm Angry [With 16-Page Parents' Guide]
ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Aaron, Jane / Gardiner, Barbara, PUBLISHER: St. Martin's Press, Often children are frightened and confused by their own angry feelings. They need to be reassured that this emotion is a normal part of life. "When I'm Angry," one of the first books in the Language of Parenting series, explains this difficult subject in a completely original and practical way. Jane Aaron's boldly illustrated children's book features simple language and vivid imaged that capture a child's attention. Depicting kids in typical situation that evoke anger, the illustrations help children realize that others not only experience the same feelings, but find positive ways to cope with them. Because it is often difficult to talk with children about such abstract concepts as feelings, When I'm Angry includes a guide for parents written by respected therapist Dr. Barbara Gardiner. "A Parent's Guide to Anger "shows parents how to use "When I'm Angry" to interact with their children and conduct meaningful dialogue specific to the needs of children at different ages. Parents are asked to validate their child's feelings and share their own similar experiences with anger as starting points for discussion. Dr. Gardiner pinpoint some common situations and how to deal with them: --fight over toys. --"hating" a sibling. --frustration over losing a game. Dr. Gardiner's Language of Parenting is based on the fundamental ABC' of parenting: acknowledging a child's feelings (accepting anger and directing it appropriately), having age-appropriate behavioral expectations (a two-year old should be able to sit at the table without throwing food), and demonstrating consistency in parenting style (maintaining house rules such as bedtime). She emphasizes the importance of allowingchildren to generate their own solutions.
Ethics for Bioengineers
ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Frize, Monique, PUBLISHER: Morgan & Claypool, Increasingly, biomedical scientists and engineers are involved in projects, design, or research and development that involve humans or animals. The book presents general concepts on professionalism and the regulation of the profession of engineering, including a discussion on what is ethics and moral conduct, ethical theories and the codes of ethics that are most relevant for engineers. An ethical decision-making process is suggested. Other issues such as conflicts of interest, plagiarism, intellectual property, confidentiality, privacy, fraud, and corruption are presented. General guidelines, the process for obtaining ethics approval from Ethics Review Boards, and the importance of obtaining informed consent from volunteers recruited for studies are presented. A discussion on research with animals is included.Ethical dilemmas focus on reproductive technologies, stem cells, cloning, genetic testing, and designer babies. The book includes a discussion on ethics and the technologies of body enhancement and of regeneration. The importance of assessing the impact of technology on people, society, and on our planet is stressed. Particular attention is given to nanotechnologies, the environment, and issues that pertain to developing countries. Ideas on gender, culture, and ethics focus on how research and access to medical services have, at times, been discriminatory towards women. The cultural aspects focus on organ transplantation in Japan, and a case study of an Aboriginal child in Canada; both examples show the impact that culture can have on how care is provided or accepted. The final section of the book discusses data collection and analysis and offers a guideline for honest reporting of results, avoiding fraud, or unethical approaches. The appendix presents a few case studies where fraud and/or unethical research have occurred.Table of Contents: Introduction to Ethics / Experiments with Human Subjects or Animals / Examples of Ethical Dilemmas in Biomedical Research / Technology and Society / Gender, Culture, and Ethics / Data Collection and Analysis
Five American Infidels
ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Robertson, D. P., PUBLISHER: Authorhouse, The spread of radical Islam has become a concern for all. Five middle-aged ex-Marines decide to do something about it. This novel, without any political agenda, is an attempt to make Americans more astute and vigilant. Actual figures, facts and documents are used and are noted as such within the storyline. My novel is also a plea to Muslims to curtail radicals from within; religious and cultural wars loom. We are on the precipice of a violent future. The following is a synopsis of my book: After losing his only son in the collapse of the Twin Towers, Paul Thompson became hell-bent on retaliation and didn't give a damn about the consequences. With revenge as his initial motive, 57-year-old Paul enlists help from his ex-Marine buddies and his distraught wife as they conduct in-depth research on radical Islam. Hidden in governmental documents, they uncover disturbing facts on the spread of Islamic ideology. The infidels now believed this violent global phenomenon required drastic measures. They track down another ex-Marine buddy, a wealthy bush pilot flying relief missions out of Uganda into Darfur. The clandestine mission they devise transports them into ravaged Africa, lawless Yemen, and an unstable Middle East. The Five American Infidels are not without inner strife: one, a pragmatist, is reluctant and raises ethical concerns; another has substance abuse issues that may jeopardize the mission. Attempting to acquire illegal weapons, they encounter ruthless arms dealers, tribal leaders, and Arab militias. An attractive lady professor is duped into becoming an accomplice. Assuming false identities and altering their appearance, they set up vulnerable targets. The results of their missioncould have monumental consequences. They had planned well.
LOVE'S WAY: The Union of Body, Ego, Soul and Spirit
ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Schaeffer, Brenda, PUBLISHER: Hazelden, In this celebratory book, Dr. Schaeffer transports us beyond her best-seller, "Is It Love or Is It Addiction? "and makes clear that love is not an addiction. But "what is love?" Exploring the pain, perils and pitfalls of relationships in our time, grounding herself in extensive clinical experience with love addiction and other disorders of loving, she cracks the mystery of love wide open. Through an enlightened series of "Memos from Love," that came to her in quiet meditation, the book became much greater than her original vision and took on a life of its own. "Love's Way "soars beyond psychology to become the first guide to modern love that does full justice to the power, beauty, mystery, and omnipresence of love itself. With compassion, it reminds us how trauma, betrayal, and the loss of innocence leave our hearts raw, wounded and closed to a love that is right at our fingertips. Love speaks to us directly in this book, and its voice is strong. Besides telling us what love is and is not, love offers body, ego, soul and spirit challenging assignments that assure a vibrant love life and walk us into the 21st Century. Chock-full of modern insight, ancient wisdom, and stories and poems that range from consulting room accounts to the ecstatic songs of Rumi, "Love's Way," will convince readers that whether or not they are in a relationship, they are definitely "in love"-already caught up in love's transforming power. Exercises at the end of this philosophical and profoundly satisfying book add the practical element needed to take love to the streets. For people who have become disconnected from the joys of the heart, this phenomenal book by Brenda Schaeffer is a must read.
Varieties of Police Behavior: The Management of Law and
ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Wilson, James Q., PUBLISHER: Harvard University Press, The patrolman has the most difficult, complex, and least understood task in the police department. Much less is known of him than of his better publicized colleague, the detective. In this important and timely book, James Q. Wilson describes the patrolman and the problems he faces that arise out of constraints imposed by law, politics, public opinion, and the expectations of superiors. The study considers how the uniformed officer in eight communities deals with such common offenses as assault, theft, drunkenness, vice, traffic, and disorderly conduct. Six of the communities are in New York State: Albany, Amsterdam, Brighton, Nassau County, Newburgh, and Syracuse. The others are Highland Park, Illinois, and Oakland, California. Enforcing laws dealing with common offenses is especially difficult because it raises the question of administrative discretion. Murder, in the eyes of the police, is unambiguously wrong, and murderers are accordingly arrested; but in cases such as street-corner scuffles or speeding motorists, the patrolman must decide whether to intervene (should the scuffle be stopped? should the motorist be pulled over?) and, if he does, just how to intervene (by arrest? a warning? an interrogation?). In most large organizations, the lowest-ranking members perform the more routinized tasks and the means of accomplishing these tasks are decided by superiors, but in a police department the lowest-ranking officer--the patrolman--is almost solely responsible for enforcing those laws which are the least precise, the most ambiguous. Three ways or "styles" of policing--the watchman, the legalistic, and the service styles--are analyzed and their relation to local politicsis explored. In the final chapter, Mr. Wilson discusses if and how the patrolman's behavior can be changed and examines some current proposals for reorganizing police departments. He observes that the ability of the patrolman to do his job well may determine our success in managing social conflict and our prospects for maintaining a proper balance between liberty and order.
