Taylor & Francis Research Methods for Forensic Psychologists
Book SynopsisResearch Methods for Forensic Psychologists is an accessible and comprehensive textbook that introduces students to the research process in forensic psychology. Adopting a problem-based learning approach, this book offers a how-to' guide to the whole research process and empowers readers to develop their own programme of research, from initial vague ideas, to developing a research question, to carrying out a methodologically rigorous research project, to disseminating the findings.The text is centred on five case studies, sufficiently different in nature to address the most common research methodologies. Each case study is linked with a specific research question that will be used to illustrate the research process throughout the rest of the book. Topics covered in the book include: Design and Planning, including a literature search, a discussion of different sorts of data, practical and feasibility issues, research etTrade Review‘This book is a landmark text that is set to become a fundamental read for forensic students and researchers. Sarah Brown and Emma Sleath have done a fantastic job of putting together a text that explains the process of conducting forensic psychology research from start to finish. This is the first UK textbook to specifically grapple with the "real-world" problems experienced by forensic researchers which mainstream texts are unable to address. I only wish such a text had been available when I was conducting my own PhD!’ - Theresa A. Gannon, Professor of Forensic Psychology, CORE-FP, University of Kent, UK ‘Comprehensive, accessible, detailed and practical - a gem of a book for anyone researching in a forensic setting. From formulating your research question to disseminating your findings, everything you need to know to plan, conduct and present your research is right here. A "must-have" for all students and budding researchers in criminal justice.’ - Jo Clarke, PhD, Programme Director, MSc in Applied Forensic Psychology, University of York, UK ‘I am delighted to endorse this book. I have been involved in delivering postgraduate forensic psychology training for almost 20 years and this is THE book that we have been waiting for. It is clear and concise and focuses on all the main issues that plague any early researcher in the forensic field. I will be putting this on my required reading for our postgraduates and would recommend that postgraduate students, early researchers and all other course directors buy a copy too.’ - Liz Gilchrist, Professor of Forensic Psychology, Glasgow Caledonian University, UK Table of Contents1.

Cambridge University Press A Matter of Chance Level 4
Book SynopsisCambridge English Readers is an award-winning series of original fiction readers for learners of English, offering exciting reading from Starter to Advanced levels. Paul Morris''s happy life in Italy changes when his wife dies suddenly. He develops a relationship with Sandra, a friend at work, but everything is not as it seems. How can Sandra afford such an expensive car? And why does she keep making mysterious phone calls? Soon Paul is involved in international crime and a thrilling car chase across Europe.Paperback-only version. Also available with Audio CDs including complete text recordings from the book. Contains adult material which may not be suitable for younger readers.Trade Review'What distinguishes the series from all the others is the zest and freshness of the text. Where the emphasis in other series is on plain and straightforward language, Cambridge English Reading texts typically use very modern expressions and the dialogue is faster moving. This has an impact on the quality of the audio cassettes, which make for very enjoyable listening.' David R. Hill, Survey Review: Readers, ELT Journal'It was only a matter of time before a major ELT publisher set out to challenge the market dominance of Penguin Classics in the area of readers … CUP have hit back admirably. With something for everyone in your classes, this series is well worth investing in. In fact, it's going to be a difficult act to follow by other publishers.' IATEFL Issues'The series breaks new ground in two respects. The first is the light and informal style of writing. It is notoriously difficult to write fluent prose using restricted lexis and syntax. Part of the secret is to use word and grammar lists flexibly; but it requires flair and a good ear to produce prose and dialogue that read so well and give such a genuine flavour of modern idiom.' English Teaching Professional'These were a very good read: exciting fast-moving stories at all levels, and a good mixture of subjects.

Cambridge University Press Learn Latin from the Romans
Book SynopsisLearn Latin from the Romans is the only introductory Latin textbook to feature texts written by ancient Romans for Latin learners. These texts, the ''colloquia'', consist of dialogues and narratives about daily life similar to those found in modern-language textbooks today, introducing learners to Roman culture as well as to Latin in an engaging, accessible, and enjoyable way. Students and instructors will find everything they need in one complete volume, including clear explanations of grammatical concepts and how Latin works, both British and American orders for all noun and adjective paradigms, 5,000 easy practice sentences, and over 150 longer passages (from the colloquia and a diverse range of other sources including inscriptions, graffiti, and Christian texts as well as Catullus, Cicero, and Virgil). Written by a leading Latin linguist with decades of language teaching experience, this textbook is suitable for introductory Latin courses worldwide.Trade Review'Throughout the book, the student receives clear, understandable grammatical explanations … One particularity of this book - one that distinguishes it from other approaches - is that it uses authentic texts. From the beginning, the reader/student is introduced to texts that cannot be found in other textbooks - texts that offer interesting glimpses into life in Rome. … This book - used with the help of a teacher - will certainly serve its purpose well: it conveys the necessary linguistic structures, helps the student acquire reliable proficiency, and provides a many-sided picture of Ancient Roman culture.'

State University of New York Press The Students We Share
Book SynopsisExamines policies, norms, and classroom practices of the US and Mexican education systems, with the aim of preparing educators to understand and help transnational children and youth.Millions of students in the US and Mexico begin their educations in one country and find themselves trying to integrate into the school system of the other. As global migration increases, their numbers are expected to grow and more and more teachers will find these transnational students in their classrooms. The goal of The Students We Share is to prepare educators for this present and future reality. While the US has been developing English as a Second Language programs for decades, Mexican schools do not offer such programs in Spanish and neither the US nor Mexico has prepared its teachers to address the educational, social-psychological, or other personal needs of transnational students. Teachers know little about the circumstances of transnational students'' lives or histories and have little to no knowledge of the school systems of the country from which they or their family come. As such, they are fundamentally unprepared to equitably educate the "students we share," who often fall through the cracks and end their educations prematurely. Written by both Mexican and US pioneers in the field, chapters in this volume aim to prepare educators on both sides of the US-Mexico border to better understand the circumstances, strengths, and needs of the transnational students we teach. With recommendations for policymakers, administrators, teacher educators, teachers, and researchers in both countries, The Students We Share shows how preparing teachers is our shared responsibility and opportunity. It describes policies, classroom practices, and norms of both systems, as well as examples of ongoing partnerships across borders to prepare the teachers we need for our shared students to thrive.

State University of New York Press Transnational Research in Technical Communication
Book SynopsisOffers unique story-based insights into the complexities and challenges of transnational and intercultural research.Transnational Research in Technical Communication considers the complexities of intercultural projects from a compelling perspective: first-hand narrative reflections. Readers go behind the scenes as scholars share their experiences crossing a variety of borders in their efforts to engage in knowledge-making endeavors. Interwoven through each chapter are stories of how projects were designed, adapted, and sometimes even failed. The collection begins with an introduction situating it at the intersection of recent scholarship in storywork, intercultural research, and technical and professional communication''s social justice turn. Each chapter concludes with discussion questions and recommendations for further reading. The closing chapter reveals a nascent "ethic of transnational and intercultural research" growing out of contributors'' lessons learned and generous reflections. Anyone interested in or planning to undertake a transnational or intercultural project can benefit from these storied case studies, and as a result, this collection contributes to moving the field forward as it strives to promote more ethically aware and responsive research.

State University of New York Press Heideggers Conversations
Book SynopsisReading Martin Heidegger''s five conversational texts together for the first time, Heidegger''s Conversations elaborates not only what Heidegger thought but how he did so by attending to the philosophical possibilities of the genre of these under-studied texts written between 1944 and 1954. Though he wrote little on the topic of teaching and learning explicitly, Katherine Davies shows Heidegger performed an implicit poetic pedagogy in his conversations that remains to be recognized. Heidegger launched an experimental attempt to enact a learning of non-representational, non-metaphysical thinking by cultivating a distinctly collaborative sensitivity to the call of the poetic. Davies illustrates how each conversation emphasizes a particular pedagogical element?non-oppositionality, making mistakes, thinking in community, poetic interpretation, and the dangers of such pedagogy?which together constitute the developmental arc of these texts. Whether Heidegger is revising or reinforcing his own earlier pedagogical practices, Davies argues that attending to the dramatic staging of the conversations offers a distinct vantage point from which to contend with Heidegger''s philosophy and politics in the post-war period.

Rowman & Littlefield Reference Guide to Africa
Book SynopsisThis third edition of the Reference Guide to Africa explains the most important resources for the study of the continent of Africa. It contains a general sources section and a larger disciplinary oriented section. All sources are annotated. A new edition is sorely needed since the last edition was published nine years ago. The previous editions have been successfully used in research libraries worldwide since 1999, and it has been used to teach several African studies research courses. The book provides an orientation for researching almost any topic in the arts, humanities and social sciences concerning the continent of Africa, and all of its countries and ethnic groups. The first part explains and lists portals, databases, bibliographies, indexes, guides, encyclopedias, country sources, biography, primary sources, government publications, and statistics. The second part presents 16 subject-oriented chapters, mostly in the arts, humanities and social sciences, from agriculture and foTrade ReviewIn its third iteration, this bibliographic guide is roughly the same size as its predecessor, but a significant portion of the annotated entries have been freshened up and expanded in scope. For instance, the earlier chapter titled 'Women' now encompasses 'Women and Gender,' while 'Portals, Bibliographies, and Indexes' broadens the former 'Bibliographies and Indexes.' The guide is still divided into two parts. Part I covers six general categories such as 'Primary Sources' and 'Statistics,' and Part II contains 16 subject-focused chapters, e.g., 'Development,' 'History,' 'Religion,' 'Environment,' 'Agriculture and Food.' Within each topic there are further subdivisions relevant to the type of source or subject matter presented. . . .This volume brings together a helpful collection of the major research resources available on the study of Africa. Summing Up: Recommended. Upper-level undergraduates through faculty and researchers. * CHOICE *This further updating of Reference Guide to Africa will be an essential acquisition for all libraries where the continent is studied in any depth. The revised information it contains, especially the updated detail on the electronic availability of many resources, make it the most up-to-date print reference guide of its kind. * s *Table of ContentsPreface Introduction Part I: General Sources 1 Portals, Bibliographies and Indexes 2 Guides, Encyclopedias, and Country Sources 3 Biography 4 Primary Sources 5 Government Publications 6 Statistics Part II: Subject Sources 7 Agriculture and Food 8 Communications 9 Cultural Anthropology 10 Development 11 Environment 12 Folklore 13 Geography and Maps 14 History 15 Languages and Linguistics 16 Libraries and Librarianship 17 Literature and Theater 18 Music 19 Politics and Government 20 Religion 21 Visual Arts 22 Women and Gender Author/Title Index Subject Index About the Author
