Addiction Treatment (Paperback, 4th edition): Diane Davis, Katherine Van Wormer Addiction Treatment (Paperback, 4th edition)
Diane Davis, Katherine Van Wormer
R1,237 R1,114 Discovery Miles 11 140 Save R123 (10%) Ships in 10 - 15 working days

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.

Varieties of Modern English - An Introduction (Hardcover): Diane Davies Varieties of Modern English - An Introduction (Hardcover)
Diane Davies
R3,988 Discovery Miles 39 880 Ships in 12 - 17 working days

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.

Women's Ways of Making It in Rhetoric and Composition (Hardcover): Michelle Ballif, D. Diane Davis, Roxanne Mountford Women's Ways of Making It in Rhetoric and Composition (Hardcover)
Michelle Ballif, D. Diane Davis, Roxanne Mountford
R4,163 Discovery Miles 41 630 Ships in 12 - 17 working days

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

Political Power and Social Theory (Hardcover): Diane Davis Political Power and Social Theory (Hardcover)
Diane Davis
R4,793 Discovery Miles 47 930 Ships in 10 - 15 working days

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.

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.

The UberReader - SELECTED WORKS OF AVITAL RONELL (Paperback): Diane Davis The UberReader - SELECTED WORKS OF AVITAL RONELL (Paperback)
Diane Davis; Avital Ronell
R819 Discovery Miles 8 190 Ships in 12 - 17 working days

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.
