Book SynopsisMarketing has become increasingly data-driven in recent years as a result of new emerging technologies such as AI, granular data availability and ever-growing analytics tools. With this trend only set to continue, it’s vital for marketers today to be comfortable in their use of data and quantitative approaches and have a thorough grounding in understanding and using marketing analytics in order to gain insights, support strategic decision-making, solve marketing problems, maximise value and achieve success. Taking a very hands-on approach with the use of real-world datasets, case studies and R (a free statistical package), this book supports students and practitioners to explore a range of marketing phenomena using various applied analytics tools, with a balanced mix of technical coverage alongside marketing theory and frameworks. Chapters include learning objectives, figures, tables and questions to help facilitate learning. Supporting online resources are available to instructors to support teaching, including datasets and software codes and solutions (R Markdowns, HTML files) as well as PowerPoint slides, a teaching guide and a testbank. This book is essential reading for advanced level marketing students and marketing practitioners who want to become cutting-edge marketers. Dr. Gokhan Yildirim is an Associate Professor of Marketing at Imperial College Business School, London. Dr. Raoul V. Kübler is an Associate Professor of Marketing at ESSEC Business School, Paris. Trade Review‘There are good books on marketing principles, on analytical models and on statistical software, but not on the combination of these three areas. This is where Applied Marketing Analytics Using R breaks new ground and offers exceptional value to the practice of marketing model building. The marketing decision areas are carefully selected, the modeling principles are well explained, and the case studies offer relevant applications of the R software modules. I recommend this book with enthusiasm!’ -- Dominique M. Hanssens′Kubler and Yildirim manage to mix tried-and-true marketing models with recent advances in machine learning to offer a coherent, practical, and down-to-earth toolbox for data-driven marketers. A must-have for modern marketing managers.′ -- Arnaud De Bruyn′This book brings a much-needed practical perspective to scientifically sophisticated marketing analytics. The authors Gokhan and Raoul truly represent the best of both worlds, being both accomplished marketing academics and practical data scientists. They start each chapter with a case study ranging from US banks to EU skincare, and UK airlines to Turkish kitchens and Finnish game developers. I love the natural flow of the book chapters, following the market orientation structure of segmentation, targeting, positioning and marketing mix modeling. At the same time, the authors demonstrate the value of adding the latest tools in attribution, online chatter and image mining. They explain every step both in the marketing strategy process and in the software installation and implementation. As to the latter, the R exercises give you hands-on experience in the latest in marketing analytics, which helps you optimize your decisions and shine in the marketplace.′ -- Koen PauwelsApplied Marketing Analytics using R is an exceptional resource for individuals eager to achieve business success and students seeking an extensive exploration of marketing analytics and R. Unlike many purely academic books, Yildirim from Imperial College and Kubler from ESSEC seamlessly blend a rigorous academic perspective with a practical approach to solving real-world marketing problems. This comprehensive guide takes you through the entire A to Z process of marketing analytics, covering everything from fundamental data sets and visualization techniques to advanced statistical modeling and its business implications. The inclusion of insightful case studies further enhances the practicality of the book, offering valuable applications of marketing analytics. By delving into this book, marketing researchers can elevate their skills and expertise, making it an indispensable resource for anyone serious about pursuing analytics in the field of marketing. Overall, this book makes a significant contribution to the field and is highly recommended! -- Shuba SrinivasanTable of ContentsChapter 1: Introduction Chapter 2: Customer Segmentation Chapter 3: Marketing Mix Modelling Chapter 4: Attribution Modelling Chapter 5: User Generated Data Analytics Chapter 6: Customer Mindset Metrics Chapter 7: Text Mining Chapter 8: Churn Prediction and Marketing Classification Models With Supervised Learning Chapter 9: Demand Forecasting Chapter 10: Image Analytics Chapter 11: Data Project Management and General Recommendations

As might be expected from person-centred practitioners, the book offers a range of interpretations of theory, reflecting what each author considers to be essentially person-centred.

Book Synopsis**Winner of the2022 British Psychological Society Book Award - Textbook Category**Developed and adapted by the authors of this book, thematic analysis (TA) is one of the most popular qualitative data analytic techniques in psychology and the social and health sciences.Building on the success of Braun & Clarke's 2006 paper first outlining their approach - which has over 100,000 citations on Google Scholar - this book is the definitive guide to TA, covering:- Contextualisation of TA- Developing themes- Writing TA reports- Reflexive TAIt addresses the common questions surrounding TA as well as developments in the field, offering a highly accessible and practical discussion of doing TA situated within a clear understanding of the wider terrain of qualitative research.Virginia Braun is a Professor in the School of Psychology at The University of Auckland, Aotearoa New ZeaTrade ReviewBraun and Clarke are extremely engaging, interesting, accessible writers, and would you believe, fun to read. I can′t recommend Thematic Analysis: a Practical Guide enough! -- Richard DevineI feel like you’ve passed me a head torch and a shovel when I was previously just in the bottom of a mine not sure how to get out! -- Amy PartingtonBraun and Clarke write in an invitational style, welcoming and accommodating a wide readership including those who are neurodivergent (...) I believe their highly accessible style of writing and their ability to unpack complex ideas and communicate them clearly and succinctly has played a large role in building their notable profiles within qualitative research circles.

A thoroughly useful and accessible practical guide. It contains clear definitions of terminology and explanations and makes good use of helpful boxes in each chapter to explain concepts or alert you to mistakes easily made in the process of analysing data using this method. -- Book UserFirst up, it’s a book that should be read by any qualitative researcher, not just those into thematic analysis. This is because it covers the foundations so well. Secondly, it′s an enjoyable read where, at times, you almost don’t realise you are taking things in because you are having fun. Finally, reading this book is (at the risk of extending their metaphor) like listening to two very experienced travellers when you are about to embark on your own. They don’t tell you where to go or precisely how to do it, but they fill you with confidence about your own ability to undertake what can seem like a daunting journey. -- Eileen Joy We have about 60 students per year undertaking the Dissertation module and this text is high priority reading to help them plan out their research proposal in relation to data analysis.

With a well-balanced mix of description, analysis, and supporting figures and boxes, the seventh edition remains a one-stop resource for student and scholar alike. -- Klaus Bruhn JensenWe should be grateful Mark Deuze took on the task of bringing Denis McQuail’s book up to date. The result is one of the best introductions communication and media studies has ever had. -- Professor Andreas HeppWhen you study this book, you realize that we all live not only with but mainly in media, and that this has a huge influence on our lives. This new book by Deuze and McQuail invites everyone into a conversation about what you read and to take up a position toward it. Deuze is an astonishing writer who takes you on a fast-paced journey through developments and approaches in media and mass communication theory.

Book SynopsisAssessing Woman Battering challenges traditional mental health approaches to domestic violence and offers alternative strategies and procedures to improve the response to battered women. The book is a guide to the conceptual and practical issues associated with identifying and assessing battered women in mental health services. Edward W. Gondolf draws from research on mental health assessment and his own surveys of battered womenÆs services to illustrate these issues. The expertise of battered women advocates is used to develop answers to critical assessment issues. Beyond a how-to book, Assessing Woman Battering discusses the issues underlying the identification and assessment of battered women and assists clinicians in providing an appropriate and safe response for them. It presents ways to build collaboration that improves assessment and referrals, and establishes a supportive environment that enhances disclosure of woman battering, identifying potential strengths and further safety rather than increasing risks. Concluding chapters consider issues involved in assessing women of different racial backgrounds and men who battered their female partners. This timely and well-written book is directed to mental health practitioners and domestic violence workers as well as academics, researchers, and students in the helping professions. Academics, researchers, mental health practitioners, domestic violence workers, and professionals in violence against women, interpersonal violence, social work, clinical/counseling psychology, sociology, gender studies, family studies, public health, criminology, and nursing will find this book useful.Table of ContentsPART ONE: UNDERLYING ISSUES FACING ASSESSMENT Addressing Differences and Barriers Moving toward Collaboration PART TWO: TOOLS FOR IMPROVED ASSESSMENT Case Studies of Mental Health Evaluations Procedures for Assessing Woman Battering Recognizing the Strengths of Battered Women - with Angela Browne PART THREE: OTHER CONSIDERATIONS IN ASSESSMENT Appreciating Diversity among Battered Women Identifying and Assessing Men Who Batter Appendix - with Susan Schechter A Survey of Battered Women′s Advocates

In the unfolding of his theory, we find evidence that what, when, and how we do our work does make a critical difference in the developmental outcomes of young children and their families, especially those who are most vulnerable. As a result, we are honor bound to examine our own beliefs and practices in whatever field we find ourselves in the realm of human development work to ensure that our approaches respect and recognize the unlimited potential of all human beings and provide the resources and support that all families need to engage in healthy and productive lives. -- Evelyn MooreTable of ContentsAcknowledgements Dedication Foreword - Richard M.

Book SynopsisCathy Riessman is the leading figure in narrative research and her new book is a delight. Covering basic issues of transcription and research credibility as well as visual data and engagingly written, it is a goldmine for students and researchers alike. If we want to make narrative research serious and revealing, it is to this book that we should turn. David Silverman, Professor Emeritus, Goldsmiths' College, University of London Narrative Methods for the Human Sciences provides an accessible framework for researchers to analyse narrative texts with confidence, empathy, and humility.NARRATIVE INQUIRYThis is a terrific book. Cathy Riessman has an encyclopedic knowledge of this field and of the participants in it. This breadth and depth of knowledge is abundantly clear throughout the book. Susan Bell, Bowdoin CollegeThis book has been a great source of inspiration to me and my students, not only for its methodological clarity, but also for the spirit of social activism it engenders. Ian Baptiste, The Pennsylvania State UniversityNarrative Methods for the Human Sciences is an essential starting point for both students and experienced researchers interested in using narrative analysis in applied or other contexts. Written with admirable clarity, an engaging style, and supported by detailed examples of analysis, the book outlines the main methodological issues and approaches within the exciting and fast-developing field of narrative research. Even researchers already familiar with narrative methods should find the presentation of thematic, structural, dialogic/performance, and visual forms of analysis a fruitful stimulus to new research endeavours.Brian Roberts, University of Central Lancashire, U.K. I just had to thank you for paving the path for us new and 'hopeful' narrative researchers. I have been a student of both your books on narrative analysis, and want to thank you for your guidance from your work, and also your latest book Narrative Methods for the Human Sciences. This work and the references you have chosen for us have helped me immensely during this time in my doctoral program, especially as I enter into the analysis phase. Maria T. Yelle, nursing doctoral candidate, University of Wisconsin-Madison Narrative Methods for the Human Sciences provides a lively overview of research based on constructing and interpreting narrative. Designed to improve research practice, itgives a detailed discussion of four analytic methods that students can adapt. Author Catherine Kohler Riessman explains how to conduct the four kinds of narrative analysis using model studies from sociology, anthropology, psychology, education and nursing. Throughout the book, she compares different approaches including thematic analysis, structural analysis, dialogic/performance analysis, and visual narrative analysis. The book helps students confront specific issues in their research practice, including how to construct a transcript in an interview study; complexities of working with materials translated from another language; defining narrative segments; relating text and context; locating oneself as the researcher in a responsible way in an inquiry; and arguing for the credibility of the case-based approach. Broad in scope, Narrative Methods for the Human Sciences also offers concrete guidance in individual chapters for students and established scholars wanting to join the narrative turn in social research. Key FeaturesFocuses on four particular methods of narrative analysis: This text provides specific diverse exemplars of good narrative research, as practiced in several social science and human service disciplines. Offers guidance for narrative interviewing: The author discusses the complexities between spoken language and any written transcript. In the process, she encourages students to be mindful of the texts they construct from dialogues among speakers. Presents arguments about validation in case-based research: Riessman presents several ways to think about credibility in narrative studies, contextualizing validity in relation to epistemology and theoretical orientation of a study.Explores the differences between grounded theory methods and narrative analysis: The author clarifies distinctions between inductive thematic coding in grounded theory, and other interpretive approaches, and narrative analysis.Presents social linguistic methods for analyzing oral narrative: This text makes the approach accessible to readers not trained in social linguistics in part by providing rich examples from a number of different disciplines in the social and behavioral sciences. Employs visual methods of analysis: Riessman takes narrative research beyond the spoken or written texts by showing how exemplary researchers have connected participants' words and images made during the research process. She also discusses other research that incorporates found images (in archives) in a narrative inquiry.This text is designed as a supplement to the qualitative research course taught in graduate departments across the social and behavioral sciences, and as a core book in the narrative course.Trade ReviewNarrative Methods for the Human Sciences provides an accessible framework for researchers — to analyse narrative texts with confidence, empathy, and humility. -- Ron Adams * Narrative Inquiry *"Narrative Methods for the Human Sciences is a well-written, profoundly useful guide to four of the main narrative methods: (a) oral narratives derived from interviews; (b) narratives derived from archival materials such as diaries, letters, and other documents; (c) ethnographic observations as compiled from field notes; and (d) visual media (in combination with text or not) such as videotaped interactions, paintings, and photographs. Not only is she practical and thoughtful about types of narratives, but even more important are the insights that she provides about the alternative methods of transforming narrative materials into published works. [...T]his excellent work will be indispensible for teachers of graduate courses in narrative and other qualitative methods and for research teams wanting to do first-rate narrative research." -- Keith E.

In this volume, leading trainers and supervisors from different counselling traditions discuss the responsibilities and the professional and practical issues involved, and a trainee and supervisee give an insider's view of what it feels like to be in these positions. The closing chapter deals with the important issue of training for counsellor trainers and supervisors.Trade Review`an excellent compilation... The value of this volume lies in its attempt to raise the questions that need to be asked when training or supervision is being set up: questions as diverse as `How shall we select our students?′ and `In what way does the structure of this training course or supervision embody the ideas and ideals that the training or supervision seeks to instil?′ Given the explosion in the demand for both counselling and supervision, this book should be required reading for all those putting a toe in these complex waters.

Book SynopsisNira Yuval-Davis provides an authoritative overview and critique of writings on gender and nationhood, presenting an original analysis of the ways gender relations affect and are affected by national projects and processes. In Gender and Nation Yuval-Davis argues that the construction of nationhood involves specific notions of both `manhood' and `womanhood'. She examines the contribution of gender relations to key dimensions of nationalist projects - the nation's reproduction, its culture and citizenship - as well as to national conflicts and wars, exploring the contesting relations between feminism and nationalism.Gender and Nation is an important contribution to the debates on citizenship, gender and nationhood. It will be essential reading for academics and students of women's studies, race and ethnic studies, sociology and political science.Trade Review"I′ve been following Nira Yuval-Davis′ work on issues of race, ethnicity, class, gender, and nation for some time. This is the book that we′ve all been waiting for. Gender and Nation spells out in clear and accessible prose the main ideas of a complex and vitally important area of feminist scholarship. For far too long, issues of nationhood, citizenship and the military have been viewed as male provinces. Turning this literature on its head, Yuval-Davis demonstrates that issues of gender remain central to nationalist struggles on both sides of state power. Especially refreshing is [the book′s] ability to visualize a politics that takes these contested power relations into account.... a must read." -- Patricia Hill Collins"Nira Yuval-Davis carries feminist strategy a bold step forward, avoiding essentialism, skirting relativism to develop a theory of ′transversal′ alliances between women founded not on diverse identities but on shared values. In the process, she rewrites the theory of nationalism. A much-needed book." -- Cynthia Cockburn"The question of gender has been systematically neglected in traditional political science. In Gender and Nation Nira Yuval-Davis shows how women reproduce nations biologically, culturally and symbolically. In criticizing the assumptions of the public/private split, her own argument is intensely personal and political. An extraordinarily powerful and comprehensive feminist account of the nation-state, it presents a far-reaching critique of the gender-blindness of political theory. Gender and Nation is a major contribution to the expanding field of citizenship studies. A significant intellectual achievement, it is not a text to be missed." -- Bryan S. Turner"In her eagerly awaited book, Nira Yuval-Davis draws us into an intense end-of-the-century feminist conversation. Yuval-Davis is the savvy and worldly thinker I trust to craft the question, sort out the answers - about the urgent matters of citizenship and nationalism." -- Cynthia Enloe"Available texts on nationalism do not usually relate to women. Gender and Nation is a timely supplement to the literature.... Essential reading for students of women′s studies, sociology and politics." -- Journal of Ethnic and Migration Studies"A comprehensive treatment of key issues which relate to gender, nation and nationalism. It is an insightful and highly readable theoretical work which incorporates the most recent literature on these issues... a useful addition to either individual or combined courses on the topics of gender, nations and nationalism, race and ethnicity." -- Sociological Research Online"Yuval-Davis′s main argument is that neither ′nation′ nor ′gender′ can be understood separately. She posits several ways in which women are targeted as ethnic subjects.... a necessary read." -- Feminist Magazine"Through this very thorough form of presentation, Yuval-Davis not only convinces the reader that the gender and nation inter-relationship is a crucial one, reinforcing the mutual constructions of each other, but she also manages to highlight the complexity of their shared bond. The book will be of great value to those working in the field of international relations theories as well as to all readers with an interest in gender studies." -- Journal of Peace Research"Yuval-Davis addresses both theory and practice starting out with a discussion of theorising about gender, women, ethnicity and nation, moving on to a more sustained analysis of how these discourses have impacted upon women. The analysis then widens as she looks at cultural reproduction and gender, citizenship, the military and war before ending up with a final discussion on women, ethnicity and empowerment.... This is an interesting, readable and thoughtful book and should be read by everyone interested in nations and ethnicities." -- Ethnic Conflict Research Digest"Cleary written with lively examples, Gender and Nation tackles nationalism in a way that is sensitive to gender, ethnicity and other forms of diversity. It is an important research reference and can be equally well used in graduate and undergraduate resources." -- Canadian Journal of Political Science"Gender and Nation is a very important book, offering sound and well-suported analysis on the many intersections of gender and nationalist ideologies." -- Irish Journal of Feminist StudiesTable of ContentsTheorizing Gender and Nation Women and the Biological Reproduction of the Nation Cultural Reproduction and Gender Relations Citizenship and Difference Gendered Militaries, Gendered Wars Women, Ethnicity and Empowerment Towards Transversal Politics

Faris and van Ooijen come from very different theoretical perspectives and so bring to the book a wide, inclusive and varied knowledge of therapy. This is an academic text, not light reading - a truly meaty read underpinned with extensive background research. But it will be accessible to any therapist, irrespective of their training′ - Therapy Today ′Initially sceptical about yet another therapy ′approach′ or ′model′, this book quickly won me over with its copious wisdom rooted in a mature engagement with intersubjectivity, and with leading-edge pluralistic postmodern and contemplative perspectives. It is a major, integrating contribution to developing an alive, ′new paradigm′ approach to therapy that transcends schoolist parochialism, and challenges the worst excesses of overly ′modernist′ therapeutic ideologies and practices′ - Dr Richard House, Research Centre for Therapeutic Education, Roehampton University; author of Therapy Beyond Modernity and In, Against and Beyond Therapy Table of ContentsForeword by Professor Neil Frude Acknowledgements Introduction Models of Integration Approach Method Technique: The RIM in Practice Professional Issues Conclusion

Book SynopsisThis timely book uniquely addresses the application of CBT to children and young people within health, school and community contexts. With the recent expansion of increasing access to psychological therapies (IAPT) CBT is increasingly applied to work with children outside the traditional therapy clinic. This book provides accessible knowledge and practice skills for professional staff working with troubled children and young people in real-world settings. Taking into consideration complex difficulties that do not always fit fixed length treatments, the authors take a much-needed realistic approach to applying CBT to childhood problems.This is relevant and accessible reading for a wide range of specialist child trainees and practitioners, including new IAPT therapists, counsellors, nurses, teachers and social workers. Peter Fuggle, Sandra Dunsmuir & Vicki Curry are co-Directors of the UCL accredited Certificate, Diploma & Masters course on CogniTrade Review′The timely arrival of this book enables it to make an important contribution to the CBT field for practitioners working with children. Nationally, there has been increasing emphasis on the need to support children and young people with emotional and behavioural difficulties with a need to train more professionals to work with them. This book provides a valuable resource for this purpose. It is neatly divided into 4 parts that places CBT with children into a wider context. A familiar model of problem formulation followed by an intervention plan will help practitioners develop their skills and benefit from the many practical suggestions contained in the text. Theory, referred to as the knowledge base; case examples; implications for practice; summaries and key points; suggestions for further reading; and, learning exercises all make this a book an excellent choice for learning to use CBT with children′ - r ′One of the real strengths of the book is that Fuggle and colleagues are honest about the kinds of dilemmas and challenges that are likely to arise in adapting CBT techniques developed for adults to work with children and young people, and they emphasise the ways in which systematic practice (with parents/carers and school staff being recruited as co-therapists where appropriate) is likely to be important, if not critical, for successful outcomes. Overall, I found this to be an engaging and thought-provoking text that, while not straightforwardly offering a how-to, recipe book approach, should nonetheless prove practically useful in everyday clinical work for those who take the time to read it through′ -- Sarah Haywood * BACP Children & Young People *It is a whistlestop tour covering a wide range of topics. However, there are plenty of references for further reading. The book could be helpful as an introduction to the basic CBT skills. -- Linda BeanTable of ContentsIntroduction PART ONE: KNOWLEDGE OF CHILDREN AND THEIR CONTEXT Parents and Child Development The Wider Context: Families, Schools, Culture and Safety Childhood Problems and Distress PART TWO: CORE CBT PRACTICE Assessment and Formulation Evaluating Practice Setting the Right Context Therapeutic Alliance Collaboration Strengthening the Therapeutic Process Facilitating Psychological Understanding Facilitating Acceptance and Coping Facilitating Change: Behavioural Techniques Facilitating Change: Cognitive Techniques PART THREE: CBT IN CONTEXT Moderating Factors to Effective Practice The Role of Supervision What to Do if CBT Is Not Working References Index
