The Principles of Psychology Volume 1, complete with William James'
original notes, illustrations, tables and charts clarifying the
theory described and arguments made. Appearing in 1890, The
Principles of Psychology was a landmark text which established
psychology as a serious scientific discipline. William James'
compiled a convincing, lengthy and broad thesis, devoting detail
and vigorous analysis in every chapter. The text's
comprehensiveness and superb presentation played a pivotal role in
bringing the science of mental health closer toward the scholarly
mainstream. The entire book is set out intuitively: there are two
volumes, each of which has a certain number of chapters. While some
chapters have sub-sections, James is careful not to make his
textbook dry or convoluted in organisation. Each chapter
introduces, discusses and concludes on a particular subject -
whether it be the role of psychology as an academic and medical
discipline, or the various functions of the human brain.
Statistics for Applied Behavior Analysis Practitioners and
Researchers provides practical and useful content for individuals
who work directly with, or supervise those who work directly with,
individuals with ASD. This book introduces core concepts and
principles of modern statistical analysis that practitioners will
need to deliver ABA services. The organization of the book works
through the flow of behavior analytic service provision, aiming to
help practitioners read through research, evaluate intervention
options, incorporate statistics in their analysis of time-series
intervention and assessment data, and effectively communicate
assessment and intervention effects using statistics. As
professionals who provide applied behavior analysis (ABA) services
are required to use evidence-based practices and make data-based
decisions regarding assessments and interventions, this book will
help them take a modern, scientific approach to derive knowledge
and make decisions based on statistical literacy.
In Historicizing Emotions: Practices and Objects in India, China,
and Japan, nine Asian Studies scholars offer intriguing case
studies of moments of change in community or group-based emotion
practices, including emotionally coded objects. Posing the
questions by whom, when, where, what-by, and how the changes
occurred, these studies offer not only new geographical scope to
the history of emotions, but also new voices from cultures and
subcultures as yet unexplored in that field. This volume spans from
the pre-common era to modern times, with an emphasis on the
pre-modern period, and includes analyses of picturebooks, monks'
writings, letters, ethnographies, theoretic treatises, poems,
hagiographies, stone inscriptions, and copperplates. Covering both
religious and non-religious spheres, the essays will attract
readers from historical, religious, and area studies, and
anthropology. Contributors are: Heather Blair, Gerard Colas, Katrin
Einicke, Irina Glushkova, Padma D. Maitland, Beverley McGuire, Anne
E. Monius, Kiyokazu Okita, Barbara Schuler.

This collective work sheds light on our understanding of the
notions of expatriation and migration. The main objective is to
highlight and critically examine the dichotomy that lies beyond
these terms. Based on field research by authors from four
continents, this book offers a global perspective on the social
distinction between the same human faces.
Nietzsche's famous attack upon established Christianity and
religion is brought to the reader in this superb hardcover edition
of The Antichrist, introduced and translated by H.L. Mencken. The
incendiary tone throughout The Antichrist separates it from most
other well-regarded philosophical texts; even in comparison to
Nietzsche's earlier works, the tone of indignation and conviction
behind each argument made is evident. There is little lofty
ponderousness; the book presents its arguments and points at a
blistering pace, placing itself among the most accessible and
comprehensive works of philosophy. The Antichrist comprises a total
of sixty-two short chapters, each with distinct philosophical
arguments or angle upon the targets of Christianity, organised
religion, and those who masquerade as faithful but are in actuality
anything but. Pointedly opposed to notions of Christian morality
and virtue, Nietzsche vehemently sets out a case for the faith's
redundancy and lack of necessity in human life.
