This is a timely work which explores the validity of rational and
subjective approaches to conflict resolution, considers the value
of international law and organizations for addressing complex
social phenomena, and outlines a structural approach to
international conflicts. In addition it extends the analysis of
conflict transformation to new issues on the international agenda,
such as antagonism between urban and rural areas and threat to the
environment.
Barry Schwartz, Steven Robbins, and new coauthor Edward Wasserman
offer students an engaging introduction to the basic principles of
Pavlovian conditioning, operant conditioning, and comparative
cognition. The text s critical approach exposes students to the
unresolved problems and controversies surrounding behavior theory
and encourages them to interpret the material and make connections
between theories and real-life situations. With several hundred new
references, a new emphasis on comparative cognition, and expanded
treatment of neuroscience and the neural basis of learning, the
Fifth Edition sets the standard in its coverage of contemporary
theory and research."
A complete reference to the fields of psychology and behavioral
science Volume 4 is the final volume in The Corsini Encyclopedia of
Psychology and Behavioral Science series. Providing psychologists,
teachers, researchers, and students with complete reference for
over 1,200 topics across four volumes, this resource in invaluable
for both clinical and research settings. Coverage includes
conditions, assessments, scales, diagnoses, treatments, and more,
including biographies on psychologists of note and psychological
organizations from across the globe. The Third Edition has been
updated to reflect the growing impact of neuroscience and
biomedical research, providing a highly relevant reference for the
highest standard of care.
Accessible and comprehensive, this book shows how to build a
schoolwide multi-tiered system of support (MTSS) from the ground
up. The MTSS framework encompasses tiered systems such as response
to intervention (RTI) and positive behavioral interventions and
supports (PBIS), and is designed to help all K-12 students succeed.
Every component of an MTSS is discussed: effective instruction, the
role of school teams, implementation in action, assessment, problem
solving, and data-based decision making. Practitioner-friendly
features include reflections from experienced implementers and an
extended case study. Reproducible checklists and forms can be
downloaded and printed in a convenient 8 1/2" x 11" size.

IDEA book club read about how to avoid the pitfalls of too little,
and too much, complexity. 'Essential insights into the character of
human choice and decision-making.' ROBERT CIALDINI, bestselling
author of Influence ________ In this groundbreaking exploration of
how our brains work, psychologist Professor Kevin Dutton explains
that by understanding the nature of our hardwired black and white
thinking we are better equipped to negotiate life's grey zones and
make subtler and smarter decisions. Our brains are hardwired to
sort, categorize and draw lines. It's how we navigate the
kaleidoscope of everyday information. Yet imagine failing an exam
by a mere 1 per cent. Or being caught speeding at just 1 mph over
the speed limit. We have to draw the line somewhere, we say. But
lines can be unhelpful or even dangerous when drawn where they
aren't wanted, or in too thick a hand. By thinking in terms of '
'them' or 'us' and 'this' or 'that' we isolate ourselves from ideas
we don't agree with and people who are not the same as us. We fail
to listen to the other side of the argument and beliefs become
polarized. Intolerance and extremism flourish. The human race has
survived by making binary decisions, but such thinking might also
destroy us. We may be programmed to think in black and white but
rainbow thinking is the key to our cognitive future. __________
'Fascinating, important and entirely convincing.' SIR PHILIP

Open Learning Units offer a very flexible approach to the teaching
of psychology. They are designed to be more than sufficient for the
purposes of A/S and A-Level psychology, and the applied emphasis
will appeal to various vocational courses such as those offered by
BTEC and also to mature students on Access courses.
Their primary use will be in the classroom with a tutor's guidance,
but the interactive style makes them equally appropriate for the
purposes of self-study. More advanced students might want to use
the Units to learn at their own pace, and in all cases, the careful
structure of the writing and the extensive use of Examples, Open
Questions and Self-Assessment Questions make them ideal revision
guides.
The scope of someone's consent is the range of actions that they
permit by giving consent. The Scope of Consent investigates the
under-explored question of which normative principle governs the
scope of consent. To answer this question, the book's investigation
involves taking a stance on what constitutes consent. By appealing
to the idea that someone can justify their behaviour by appealing
to another person's consent, Dougherty defends the view that
consent consists in behaviour that expresses a consent-giver's will
for how a consent-receiver behaves. The ultimate conclusion of the
book is that the scope of consent is determined by certain evidence
that bears on the appropriate interpretation of the consent.
