In this practical, accessible guide for students, faculty, and
other university personnel, author Cynthia E. Carr shares her best
practices for planning, writing, and winning research grants based
on her own experience submitting more than 300 grant proposals and
securing millions of dollars in awards. Insightful, innovative, and
informative, the book goes beyond coverage of standard grant
writing to specifically address the issues faced by the higher
education community, including the university bureaucracy and how
to navigate it. The Nuts and Bolts of Grant Writing covers
everything from budgets to submissions and federal to foundation
competitions, giving novices the opportunity to leapfrog over some
of the hard lessons that most college and university grant seekers
must learn from trial and error and allowing those with more
experience to sharpen their skills.
In "Delivering Development," author Edward Carr calls into
question the very universal, unquestioned assumptions about
globalization, development, and environmental change that undergird
much of development and economic policy. Here he demonstrates how
commonly held beliefs about globalization and development have
failed the global poor. Over his 13 years of working along what he
calls "globalization's shoreline," a world region buffeted by the
economic, political, and environmental decisions of those living in
wealthier places, Carr has concluded that most experts
misunderstand what they are trying to fix, and cannot tell if they
are fixing it. "Delivering Development" is an eye opening,
you-are-there book that compels the reader to question conventional
wisdom, redefines what assistance to the developing world really
means, and explores alternative ways of achieving meaningful,
enduring improvements to human well-being.
E.H. Carr is the acknowledged authority on Soviet Russia. In "The
Russian Revolution from Lenin to Stalin 1917 - 1929," he provides
the student and general reader alike with insights and knowledge of
a lifetime's work. This book, now available in a brand new edition,
is, without doubt, the standard short history of the Russian
Revolution and now contains a new introduction by R.W.
Davies.
These essays now reprinted and prefaced by Jonathan Haslam, E.H. Carr's biographer, give the reader a representative sample of Carr's interests over several decades. They include fascinating picture portraits of figures, both major and minor, from the 19th and 20th centuries, some of whom he knew firsthand. The reader will also find studied reflection on the major events and their impact including the Paris peace settlement of 1919 and the legacy of Stalin in Russian history. Carr is always lucid, with a taste for controversy. Novices, fans and critics alike will not be disappointed.

The fourth edition of The Behavioral Sciences and Health Care
provides trainees in every area of health care with foundational
concepts of behavioral science as applied to individual and
population health and disease. The text breathes new life into the
biopsychosocial model by highlighting the integrated sciences
model, which focuses on interdependence of the contributions made
by all of the sciences basic to medicine. This integration is
exemplified by the unifying conceptual framework of evolutionary
science, in which increasingly complex
gene-individual-environmental interactions explain behavior at the
individual and social level. Concise, updated chapters cover
foundational elements of neuroscience, stress biology, normal
psychology, and social factors in health care, addressing both
traditional areas of behavioral science and topical concerns such
as pain, palliative care, addictions, health care disparities, and
violence. Uniquely among books of this kind, the text includes a
thorough discussion of psychiatric disorders and therapies, aligned
with current nosology (DSM-5). All chapters contain clinical pearls
or vignettes, highlighted to emphasize applications in health care
settings, as well as review questions and suggestions for further
reading. A practice exam with extensive discussion of answers
deepens students' understanding of core topics while preparing them
for certifying and licensing exams. This text is particularly
suited for use in systems-based and casebased curricula. Individual
chapters can be used creatively in flipped classrooms and other
active learning environments. Accessible and clear, without
oversimplification, the book facilitates interdisciplinary
education, providing a common core of knowledge for students in
medicine, nursing, psychology, social work, and other health care
professions.
