  • This lively textbook integrates theory and methodology into the study of social movements, and includes contemporary case studies to engage students and encourage them to apply theories critically. A wide range of protest cases are explored, from American, European and global arenas, including contemporary examples of political violence and terrorism, alter-globalisation, social networking and global activism. Key chapter features encourage students to engage critically with the material: method points uncover the methodology behind the theories, helping students to understand the larger study of social movements; debate points highlight classic arguments in social movement studies, encouraging students to critically assess theoretical approaches; and case studies connect theories to cases, allowing students to relate key principles to real-world examples. A companion website offers additional student and instructor resources, including lecture slides and worksheets.

Ways with Words
  • Language, Life and Work in Communities and Classrooms
  • Shirley Brice Heath
  • Published online:

    07 July 1983
  • Ways with Words, first published in 1983, is a classic study of children learning to use language at home and at school in two communities only a few miles apart in the south-eastern United States. 'Roadville' is a white working-class community of families steeped for generations in the life of textile mills; 'Trackton' is an African-American working-class community whose older generations grew up farming the land, but whose existent members work in the mills. In tracing the children's language development the author shows the deep cultural differences between the two communities, whose ways with words differ as strikingly from each other as either does from the pattern of the townspeople, the 'mainstream' blacks and whites who hold power in the schools and workplaces of the region. Employing the combined skills of ethnographer, social historian, and teacher, the author raises fundamental questions about the nature of language development, the effects of literacy on oral language habits, and the sources of communication problems in schools and workplaces.

    Print publication:
    11 July 2016
  • Many ideas and concepts about natural hazards have been developed in Australasia, but these are often overlooked in books written from a Northern Hemisphere perspective. Natural Hazards in Australasia is the first textbook that considers Australasian natural hazards, their triggering mechanisms and the physical and social environments in which they occur. James Goff and Chris de Freitas lead an expert author team from around Australia and New Zealand to introduce readers to the natural hazards of the Australasian region, including floods, drought, tropical cyclones, volcanic and seismic hazards, tsunamis, landslides and bushfires. This book explores the interactions not only between one hazard and another, but also between humans and natural hazards. Key pedagogical features for students include learning objectives, regional case studies, summaries, chapter glossaries, end-of-chapter review and discussion questions, and further reading and resources. The full colour text is enhanced by a rich array of illustrations, photographs and maps.

  • The first textbook to present world history via social history, drawing on social science methods and research. This interdisciplinary, comprehensive and comparative textbook is authored by distinguished scholars and experienced teachers, and offers expert scholarship on global history that is ideal for undergraduate students. Volume 1 takes us from the origin of hominids to ancient civilizations, the rise of empires, and the Middle Ages. The book pays particular attention to the ways in which ordinary people lived through the great changes of their times, and how everyday experience connects to great political events and the commercial exchanges of an interconnected world. With 65 maps, 45 illustrations, timelines, boxes, and primary source extracts, the book moves students easily from particular historical incidents to broader perspectives, enabling them to use historical material and social science methodologies to analyze the events of the past, present and future.

Plato: The Statesman
  • Plato
  • Edited by Julia Annas, Robin Waterfield
  • Published online:
    12 September 2018
    Print publication:
    23 March 1995
  • The Statesman is Plato's neglected political work, but it is crucial for an understanding of the development of his political thinking. In its presentation of the statesman's expertise, The Statesman modifies, as well as defending in original ways, this central theme of the Republic. This new translation makes the dialogue accessible to students of political thought and the introduction outlines the philosophical and historical background necessary for a political theory readership.

  • Engineers face many challenges in systems design and research. Modeling and Approximation in Heat Transfer describes the approach to engineering solutions through simplified modeling of the most important physical features and approximating their behavior. Systematic discussion of how modeling and associated synthesis can be carried out is included - in engineering practice, these steps very often precede mathematical analysis or the need for precise results.

Population and Society

  • This comprehensive yet accessible textbook is an ideal resource for undergraduate and graduate students taking their first course in demography. Clearly explaining technical demographic issues without using extensive mathematics, Population and Society is sociologically oriented, but incorporates a variety of social sciences in its approach, including economics, political science, geography, and history. It highlights the significant impact of decision-making at the individual level - especially regarding fertility, but also mortality and migration - on population change. The text engages students by providing numerous examples of demography's practical applications in their lives, and demonstrates the extent of its relevance by examining a wide selection of data from the United States, Africa, Asia, and Europe. This thoroughly revised edition includes four new chapters, covering topics such as race and sexuality, and encourages students to consider the broad implications of population growth and change for global challenges such as environmental degradation.

    Print publication:
    25 September 2014
  • An integrated, modern approach to transport phenomena for graduate students, featuring traditional and contemporary examples to demonstrate the diverse practical applications of the theory. Written in an easy to follow style, the basic principles of transport phenomena, and model building are recapped in Chapters 1 and 2 before progressing logically through more advanced topics including physicochemical principles behind transport models. Treatments of numerical, analytical, and computational solutions are presented side by side, often with sample code in MATLAB, to aid students' understanding and develop their confidence in using computational skills to solve real-world problems. Learning objectives and mathematical prerequisites at the beginning of chapters orient students to what is required in the chapter, and summaries and over 400 end-of-chapter problems help them retain the key points and check their understanding. Online supplementary material including solutions to problems for instructors, supplementary reading material, sample computer codes, and case studies complete the package.

Locke: Political Essays
  • John Locke
  • Edited by Mark Goldie
  • Published online:
    12 September 2018
    Print publication:
    25 September 1997
  • We know more about the development of John Locke's ideas than we do about almost any other philosopher's before modern times. This book brings together a comprehensive collection of the writings on politics and society that stand outside the canonical works which Locke published during his lifetime. In the aftermath of the Revolution of 1688 the three works by which he is chiefly known appeared: the Two Treatises of Government, An Essay Concerning Human Understanding, and A Letter Concerning Toleration, and the themes raised in these works had been reflected upon over many years. Mark Goldie's edition makes possible the fullest exploration of the evolution of Locke's ideas concerning the philosophical foundations of morality and sociability, the boundary of church and state, the shaping of constitutions, and the conduct of government and public policy.

Lucretius: De Rerum NaturaBook III
  • 2nd edition
  • Lucretius
  • Edited by E. J. Kenney
  • Published online:
    12 September 2018
    Print publication:
    14 August 2014
  • The third book of Lucretius' great poem on the workings of the universe is devoted entirely to expounding the implications of Epicurus' dictum that death does not matter, 'is nothing to us'. The soul is not immortal: it no more exists after the dissolution of the body than it had done before its birth. Only if this fact is accepted can men rid themselves of irrational fears and achieve the state of ataraxia, freedom from mental disturbance, on which the Epicurean definition of pleasure was based. To present this case Lucretius deploys the full range of poetic and rhetorical registers, soberly prohibitive, artfully decorative or passionately emotive as best suits his argument, reinforcing it with vivid and compelling imagery. This new edition has been completely revised, with a considerably enlarged Commentary and a new supplementary introduction taking account of the great amount of new scholarship of the last forty years.

The Fundamentals of Political Science Research
  • 3rd edition
  • Paul M. Kellstedt, Guy D. Whitten
  • Published online:
    06 September 2018
    Print publication:
    26 July 2018
  • The third edition of the best-selling The Fundamentals of Political Science Research provides an introduction to the scientific study of politics. It offers the basic tools necessary for readers to become both critical consumers and beginning producers of scientific research on politics. The authors present an integrated approach to research design and empirical analyses whereby researchers can develop and test causal theories. They use examples from political science research that students will find interesting and inspiring, and that will help them understand key concepts. The book makes technical material accessible to students who might otherwise be intimidated by mathematical examples. This revised third edition features new 'Your Turn' boxes meant to engage students. The edition also has new sections added throughout the book to enhance the content's clarity and breadth of coverage.

Complex Analysis
  • 2nd edition
  • Ian Stewart, David Tall
  • Published online:
    06 September 2018
    Print publication:
    23 August 2018
  • This new edition of a classic textbook develops complex analysis from the established theory of real analysis by emphasising the differences that arise as a result of the richer geometry of the complex plane. Key features of the authors' approach are to use simple topological ideas to translate visual intuition to rigorous proof, and, in this edition, to address the conceptual conflicts between pure and applied approaches head-on. Beyond the material of the clarified and corrected original edition, there are three new chapters: Chapter 15, on infinitesimals in real and complex analysis; Chapter 16, on homology versions of Cauchy's theorem and Cauchy's residue theorem, linking back to geometric intuition; and Chapter 17, outlines some more advanced directions in which complex analysis has developed, and continues to evolve into the future. With numerous worked examples and exercises, clear and direct proofs, and a view to the future of the subject, this is an invaluable companion for any modern complex analysis course.

  • Summary

    This opening chapter summarizes the history of attempts to identify evidence-based treatments. Discussion then turns to the identification of the components of the evidence-based treatment packages, also called the common elements approach. The chapter sets the stage for other the chapters which discuss specific disorders, their etiology, theoretical underpinnings of treatments, treatment packages, treatment components, the role of parents, assessment, comorbidity, demographics, medication, and other factors influencing treatment with youth. A side-bar describes the companion book, Pseudoscience in Child and Adolescent Psychotherapy.

  • Summary

    This chapter discusses the evidence-based treatment of nocturnal enuresis (NE) and functional encopresis (FE), elimination disorders common in childhood and adolescence. NE, or bedwetting, involves the repeated voiding of urine into clothing or the bed. FE, or fecal soiling due to constipation, involves the repeated passage of feces in inappropriate places (e.g., clothing). Although physiological qualities highlight each disorder, research supports a biobehavioral approach to assessment, conceptualization, and intervention. The purpose of this chapter is to provide an evidence-based perspective on the treatment of elimination disorders. More specifically, the chapter addresses etiological and theoretical considerations, evidence-based treatments including their respective components, and the role of parents in treatment. The chapter also provides steps for encouraging successful toilet training.

  • Summary

    Insomnia presents frequently in children and adolescents and is associated with negative sequelae for affected youths and their families. Evidence-based treatment for insomnia is guided by theories in sleep physiology, behaviorism, and cognitive psychology. Key treatment components include improving sleep habits, sleep scheduling changes, conditioning sleepiness, extinction, positive reinforcement, addressing fears and worries, and relaxation. While several components have demonstrated efficacy as independent treatments (i.e., bedtime pass; bedtime routine), most components have been evaluated as part of packaged interventions. The wealth of evidence convincingly supports the use of behavioral sleep intervention as an effective tool to improve children’s sleep and overall functioning.

  • Summary

    Obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) is a serious and disabling condition that typically begins in childhood. Evidence-based treatment for the disorder entails exposure with response prevention (ERP) in conjunction with parent training for proper implementation. Some emerging research also suggests cognitive therapy may be modified to apply in youth samples with OCD. The etiology of OCD in children is multiply-determined, involving neurobiological and psychosocial factors. Treatment employing ERP involves first preparing caregivers with psychoeducation regarding the nature of OCD, followed by development of a hierarchy of avoided situations to later use as part of implementing ERP. Involvement of parents in treatment is also covered.
