ADDICTION TREATMENT covers the biological, psychological, and
social aspects of alcoholism, eating disorders, compulsive
gambling, and other addictions. The authors bridge the gap between
the popular twelve-step and harm-reduction approaches, thus
illuminating how you, as a future practitioner, can guide your
clients down a trusted path that is tailored towards the client's
particular needs. Through a number of first-person narratives about
the experience of addiction, you will discover a realism and depth
not commonly found in textbooks. Interesting and relevant topics --
such as the case against so-called underage drinking laws and an
inside story of working in a casino -- draw you into the material
and illustrate the importance of reducing harm within the
biopsychological framework that ties the text together.
The 'story' of English is continually re-told and re-written, as
more and more people use the language and have a part in shaping
the way it develops. Varieties of Modern English provides a
critical introduction to the study of regional, social, gendered,
context- and medium-related varieties of the language, and explores
some of the debates concerning the role and impact of English in
different parts of the world today.Beginning by outlining the main
types of variation in language, the book focuses on the link
between language or dialect and the construction of both group and
individual identities. Issues of identity are crucial to chapters
on the roots of Modern English, on gender and English, on ethnicity
and English and on English as an international language. As well as
looking at a range of 'users' of the language, Davies also explores
many of its 'uses' and modes, including the English of literary
texts, advertising, newspaper reporting and commentary, political
speeches, email and text messaging. Written in a discursive,
student-friendly style, the book also provides: * A rich mix of
illustrative material * End-of-chapter Activities and related
Comments at the end of the book * Suggestions for further reading
Varieties of Modern English provides a thought-provoking overview
of its subject and will be invaluable reading for students of
English Language and Linguistics.
This volume explores how women in the fields of rhetoric and
composition have succeeded, despite the challenges inherent in the
circumstances of their work. Focusing on those women generally
viewed as "successful" in rhetoric and composition, this volume
relates their stories of successes (and failures) to serve as
models for other women in the profession who aspire to "make it,"
too: to succeed as women academics in a sea of gender and
disciplinary bias and to have a life, as well. Building on the
gains made by several generations of rhetoric and composition
scholars, this volume provides strategies for a newer generation of
scholars entering the field and, in so doing, broadens the support
base for women in the field by connecting them with a greater web
of women in the profession. Offering frank discussion of
professional and personal struggles as well as providing reference
materials addressing these concerns, solid career advice, and
inspirational narratives told by women who have "made it" in the
field of rhetoric and composition, this work highlights such common
concerns as: dealing with sexism in the tenure and promotion
process, maintaining a balance between career and family,
struggling for scholarly and/or administrative respect, mentoring
junior women, finding one's voice in scholarship, and struggling to
say "no" to unrewarded service work The profiles of individual
successful women describe each woman's methods for success, examine
the price each has paid for that success, and pass along the advice
each has to offer other women who are beginning a career in the
field or attempting to jumpstart an existing career. With resources
and general advice for women in the field of rhetoric and
composition to guide them through their careers-as they become,
survive, and thrive as professionals in the discipline - this book
is must-have reading for every woman making her career in the
rhetoric and composition fields.

If you work with children, you know how they suffer when things go
wrong at home. If you work with the social service agencies,
nonprofits or educational institutions that serve abused women, you
know it's almost impossible to conceal their situation from their
children. Written by someone who is passionate about domestic
violence can damage children, Something Is Wrong at My House: A
Story about Parents' Fighting takes a complex and frightening
problem and explains it in terms appropriate for the young.
Formatted so that the same book can be used with toddlers
through school-age children, Something Is Wrong at My House
provides simple text under illustrations on each of the two-page
spreads, with more detailed text on the facing page.
First published in 1984, Something Is Wrong at My House is now
available in English in a revised and expanded edition, with
updated illustrations. You can also purchase Spanish and
library-bound editions of the original Something Is Wrong at My
House
Volume 13 critically probes the significance of worldwide
transformations in political and economic systems, asking: are new
patterns of liberalization producing fundamental shifts in social,
political and economic life? In what ways is agency important for
understanding the historical formation and current development of
new global and domestic patterns? Among themes examined in six
studies are the emergence and autonomy of banking systems in both
advanced capitalist and transitional states: how socialist
institutions persist and relate to democracy; and the disruptions
and opportunities that liberalization has provided to workers. A
Scholarly Controversy features a condensed version of Giovanni
Arrighi's and Beverly Silver's forthcoming book "Chaos and
Governance" with responses from scholars who take different global
and domestic perspectives, units of analysis, and time horizons to
revisit the volume's earlier themes.
A series of critical articles and commentaries by some of the
leading historically-oriented social scientists writing in American
academia today. DESCRIPTION: The countries or regions under study
include the United States, Brazil, Chile, China, Mexico, Samoa, and
Southwest Africa. In keeping with the journal's commitment to
inter-disciplinary as well as historical inquiry, our nine
contributors come from a variety of disciplines (sociology,
political science, anthropology, and history), all drawing on
debates and themes that cross-cut the social sciences. The
significance of the inter-disciplinary perspective is seen not only
in the range of cases, literatures, and methodologies brought to
bear on the key issues under study; it also forms the substantive
core of several contributions that call for a rethinking of
conventional disciplinary boundaries and methodological frames.
CONTENTS: List of contributors; Editorial board; Editorial
statement; Editor's introduction (D.E. Davis); Forms of State
Embeddedness; The Political Cultures of Power; Scholarly
Controversy: Race and Class in American History and more.

After Church services, adults and children would always come to me
and ask how to play the piano. Therefore, I decided to formulate a
method of how to play the piano that does not require music theory.
The method I created had to be as simple as possible in order to
get the student playing the piano immediately. Many people are
familiar with these basic colors. They are red, yellow, brown,
orange, green, purple, white and black. In this book, we will
explore many popular tunes with colors and symbols. You can play
these tunes on any standard piano keyboard with the color piano
chart. This method for playing the piano will spark interest in
learning at any age. While doing this, we introduce the pupil to
some educational fundamentals. This book is full of everyday
pictures and colors. Once interest is accomplished then you can
move to the next level in your piano study. This method is
educational and fun and you will enjoy playing the piano by colors.
For twenty years Avital Ronell has stood at the forefront of the
confrontation between literary study and European philosophy. She
has tirelessly investigated the impact of technology on thinking
and writing, with groundbreaking work on Heidegger, dependency and
drug rhetoric, intelligence and artificial intelligence, and the
obsession with testing. Admired for her insights and breadth of
field, she has attracted a wide readership by writing with guts,
candour, and wit. Coyly alluding to Nietzsche's "gay science," "The
UberReader" presents a solid introduction to Avital Ronell's later
oeuvre. It includes at least one selection from each of her books,
two classic selections from a collection of her early essays
(Finitude's Score), previously uncollected interviews and essays,
and some of her most powerful published and unpublished talks. An
introduction by Diane Davis surveys Ronell's career and the
critical response to it thus far. With its combination of brevity
and power, this Ronell "primer" will be immensely useful to
scholars, students, and teachers throughout the humanities, but
particularly to graduate and undergraduate courses in contemporary
theory.
Part of a series studying political power and social theory, this
volume discusses topics such as defence policy and corporate
