Evaluating Research Methods in Psychology: A Case Study
ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Dunbar, George, PUBLISHER: Bps Blackwell, Using a series of over 40 case studies, this valuable text illustrates the processes and pitfalls involved in evaluating psychological research. Invites students to consider whether the conclusion drawn at the end of each case is correct, or whether the results could have an alternative explanation. Cross-referencing between sections is made easy by page references that link the case studies and explanations. Cases reflect the range of research methods taught at undergraduate level and include qualitative research. Gives students an understanding of methodological problems. Equips students to critically evaluate published research. The author and publishers have made every effort to be fair to the authors of the research described in this book. Like all sciences, psychology is forged in the fire of criticism and refinement, and we hope that the original researchers will understand that any criticism is made with the utmost respect. If you are an author of one of the pieces of research mentioned in the book and would like to respond to the critique presented, please e-mail your comments to Andrew McAleer at .
God Knows Your Name: In a World of Rejection, He Accepts You
ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Campbell, Catherine, PUBLISHER: Monarch Books, Contemporary and biblical stories offer hope to those struggling with rejection For many people the idea that God likes us as individuals, just as we are, is often an unfamiliar concept, while rejection--by a partner, one's parents, an employer, or friends--is a fact of life. This book encourages readers to embrace the truth of a personal God with whom we do not need to struggle to gain recognition, a God who intervenes and acts on our behalf, a God who knows our names Each of the six chapters contains two stories dealing with situations of rejection. The first story concerns an individual from the Bible, explaining how God stepped in to change his or her situation, thus revealing how important the individual was to him. The second, connecting story tells of a present day individual in similar circumstances and how God again positively intervened. These are true stories, using carefully researched material for authenticity and accuracy, and told with remarkable power and conviction.
The Eye of the Storm
ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Andrews, V. C., PUBLISHER: Simon & Schuster, In the wake of a terrible loss, Rain is left alone to bear the Hudson family secreets -- as dark and forbidding as storm clouds on the horizon... After the death of her beloved Grandmother Hudson, Rain found herself caught in a battle for the vast Hudson family wealth. Marked to inherit millions, Rain faced the fury of her unaccepting mother, her manipulative stepfather, and her cold, vicious Aunt Victoria. But no amount of money can keep Rain's world from crashing down when sudden tragedy strikes. Left helpless after a devastating blow, Rain sinks into despair as her precious dreams are washed away...dreams that cannot be bought with the Hudson fortune. Her only hope for rebuilding her life rests in trusting a stranger who has come into her world -- a man whose generosity and kindness does not appear to come with strings attached, much to Rain's amazement. But just as she opens her heart to a promising new future, her past comes back to haunt her -- and Rain is pulled into a furious whirlpool of bitterness and heartache.
Hope, cucciola mix corso e pastore belga
Aveva 20 giorni quando una volontaria l'ha trovata nella spazzatura insieme ai fratellini e l'ha salvata. Erano quasi morti, freddi: è corsa in clinica dove li hanno tenuti per qualche giorno fino a che non si sono ristabiliti. La volontaria li ha allattati fino a che non hanno cominciato a mangiare il cibo.....non è stato facile ma li ha salvati tutti. Ha 3 mesi e il veterinario che l'ha visitata dice che è un incrocio corso e forse pastore belga a vedere dal colore del suo pelo, pensa che arriverà sui kg da adulta. Ora si trova in stallo a Torino presso una delle nostre volontarie, gioca con i cagnolini anche adulti, cerca il contatto umano e le coccole. Le volontarie la porteranno con libretto sanitario, chippata e vaccinata in tutto il centro e nord. L'adozione prevede il modulo di preaffido e la visita di preaffido da parte di una volontaria che viene a conoscere la futura famiglia adottante.

Grand Parenting: Finding Roots and Wings for an Open Choice
ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Faust, Ron, PUBLISHER: Leathers Publishing, Grandparents are one of life's greatest blessings - they make life easier. And with the capacity to save us from the destruction and harshness of life, grandparents are a vital part of our extended family. Grand Parenting: Finding Roots and Wings for an Open Choice Generation, just released by Leathers Publishing, explores the part grandparents play in child development and offers a new perspective on their role in child rearing. In the book, author Dr. Ron Faust looks at the spiritual I.Q. (S.Q) of children. By his definition, the S.Q. measures the child's ability to engage in peacemaking and justice issues. Faust says this is where grandparents can help deepen the spiritual quest. He points out in the book that the link between values and grand parenting is the key to unlocking the hope for a new ethical generation. Grand Parenting: Finding Roots and Wings for an Open Choice Generation shows how open-minded grandparents can use the benefits of "Open Choice Parenting" to boost the S.Q. scores for future generations.
Late Winter
ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Brown, Bill, PUBLISHER: Iris Press, The idea of home, the magic of story, and the healing power of nature inform the poems in Late Winter. Yet, Bill Brown understands that loss and grief, breaking and mending deepen the human experience. "Taking joy, isn't easy," Brown writes, "as if you could ignore lost faces in city streets, or playgrounds littered with broken glass." These poems often mine the darkness of loss, war and our culture's constant barrage of status and style. Even so, in "Dream Letter Lullaby" Brown asks us to "be as hopeful as the hands of children sleeping." His world gives us the right to reclaim our innocence. He knows what every child knows- "A closed heart can't greet a winter sky. Even a rain puddle is filled with it, and a horse trough, and the slow current of creeks." Late Winter opens with a search for home. By the book's end, Brown believes that, with the power of memory and love, home can be born like a covenant in each of us, and that "Some ancient hope, like winter light, is allied with the gravity of stars."

(Mumia's) uncertain fate in no wise inhibits clarity of mind or pursuit of larger issues... From the state abbatoir he summons insight and wisdom. A rare spirit offers what his executioners cannot -- a word of hope. Jonathan Kozol Brilliant, powerful book by a prophetic writer. Mumia refuses to allow his spirit to be broken by the forces of injustice; his language glows with an affirming flame. Henry Louis Gates, Harvard University A brilliant, lucid meditation on the moral obligation of political commitment by a deeply ethical -- and deeply wronged -- human being. Mumia should be freed, now.
