Most telecom books focus on either traditional telecom billing audits or pure technology, with the cost saving ideas buried deep in the text. Busy decision-makers need the specifics quickly, without having to plow through details that do not affect the economics of a project. Telecommunications Cost Management takes cost saving techniques and brings them to the forefront where managers and decision makers can quickly use them for real world cost reductions or efficiency gains.
This edition of the "Handbook" follows the first edition by 10
years. The earlier edition was a promissory note, presaging the
directions in which the then-emerging field of social cognition was
likely to move. The field was then in its infancy and the areas of
research and theory that came to dominate the field during the next
decade were only beginning to surface. The concepts and methods
used had frequently been borrowed from cognitive psychology and had
been applied to phenomena in a very limited number of areas.
Nevertheless, social cognition promised to develop rapidly into an
important area of psychological inquiry that would ultimately have
an impact on not only several areas of psychology but other fields
as well.

In this volume, Berkowitz develops the argument that experiential
and behavioral components of an emotional state are affected by
many processes: some are highly cognitive in nature; others are
automatic and involuntary. Cognitive and associative mechanisms
theoretically come into play at different times in the
emotion-cognition sequence. The model he proposes, therefore,
integrates theoretical positions that previously have been
artificially segregated in much of the emotion-cognition
literature.
If anyone deserves the title "father of social cognition," it is
William J. McGuire who, along with his wife and colleague Claire V.
McGuire, has written the target article for this volume. The
culmination of many years of work, the article discusses their
highly developed theory of human thought systems, and establishes
many new directions for theoretical and empirical inquiry. Equally
important, however, are the chapters -- written from many different
theoretical and empirical perspectives -- that challenge various
assumptions underlying the McGuires' work. In addition to examining
implications not explicitly considered in the target article, these
contributions explore the new directions that future research and
theorizing might take.
In Volume 3, Eliot R. Smith of Purdue University proposes that
social cognition theorists have placed excessive emphasis on the
role of schemata, prototypes, and various other types of
abstractions. This has affected both the methodologies they use and
the type of theories they construct. What has not been adequately
appreciated is the storage and retrieval of specific episodes,
especially those with idiosyncratic features. This volume s
designed as a required text for those studying personality,
experimental and consumer psychology, cognitive science, and
communications.
The first comprehensive theoretical formulation of the way people use information they receive about their social environments to make judgments and behavioral decisions, this volume focuses on the cognitive processes that underlie the use of social information. These include initial interpretation, the representations used to make inferences, and the transformation of these subjective inferences into overt judgment and behavior. In addition, it specifies the role of affect and emotion in information processing, and the role of self-knowledge at different stages of processing. The theoretical model presented here is the first to provide a conceptual integration of existing theory and research in all phases of social information processing. It not only accounts for the major portion of existing research findings, but permits several hypotheses to be generated concerning phenomena that have not yet been empirically investigated. Although focused here on the processing of information about people and events, the formulation proposed has implications for other domains such as personnel appraisal, political decision making, and consumer behavior.
This volume presents a new conceptualization of personality and
social cognition that addresses both traditional and new issues.
Written for students of personality, experimental and consumer
psychology and cognitive science.
This volume presents different perspectives on a dual model of impression formation -- a theory about how people form impressions about other people by combining information about a person with prior knowledge found in long-term memory. This information is of real importance to graduate students and advanced undergraduates in cognitive and social psychology, experimental psychology, social cognition and perception. Each volume in the series will contain a target article on a recent theoretical development pertinent to current study followed by critical commentaries offering varying theoretical viewpoints. This productive dialogue concludes with a reply by the target article author. The first volume of the series presents an evaluation of theoretical advances in social cognition and information processing from new and different perspectives. Volume 2 presents a new conceptualization of personality and social cognition by Cantor and Kihlstrom which addresses both new and old issues. The volumes in this series will interest and enlighten graduate and advanced undergraduates in cognitive and social psychology, experimental psychology, social cognition and perception.

Contemporary Corrections: A Critical Thinking Approach introduces readers to the essential elements of the US corrections system without drowning students in a sea of nonessential information. Unbiased and accessible, the text includes coverage of the history of corrections, alternatives to incarceration, probation/parole, race/ethnicity/gender issues in corrections, re-entry into the community, and more. The authors' unparalleled practical approach, reinforced by contemporary examples, illuminates the role corrections plays in our society. The authors have reinvigorated earlier work with additional content on international comparative data to increase our understanding of how prison officials in other nations have developed different types of responses to the problems that challenge every US correctional administrator, a new chapter on correctional personnel, and an integration of race and ethnicity issues throughout the book. Unrivaled in scope, this book offers undergraduates a concise but comprehensive introduction to corrections with textual materials and assignments designed to encourage students' critical thinking skills.

Biopolymers are attracting immense attention of late because of their diverse applications that can address growing environmental concerns and energy demands. The development of various biomaterials creates significant advancements in the medical field as well, and many biopolymers are used for the fabrication of biomaterials. Together, biopolymers and biomaterials create great potential for new materials, applications, and uses. This new volume, Biopolymers and Biomaterials, covers the science and application of biopolymers and biomaterials. It presents an array of different studies on biopolymers and biomaterials, along with their results, interpretation, and the conclusions arrived at through investigations. It includes biopolymer synthesis, their characterizations, and their potential applications. The book begins with an explanation of the different biopolymers used in the textile industry, their advantages and disadvantages, and their applications.
This edited collection examines critical incidents journalists have faced across different media contexts, exploring how journalists and other key actors negotiate various aspects of their work. Ranging from the Rwandan genocide to the News of the World hacking scandal in the UK, this book defines a critical incident as an event that has led journalists to reconsider their routines, roles, and rules. Combining theoretical and practical analysis, the contributors offer a discussion of the key events that journalists cover, such as political turmoil or natural disasters, as well as events that directly involve and affect journalists. Featuring case studies from countries including Australia, Germany, Brazil, Kenya, and the Philippines, the book explores the discourses that critical events have generated, how journalists and other stakeholders have responded to them, and how they have reshaped (or are reshaping) journalistic norms and practices. The book also proposes a roadmap for studying such pivotal moments in journalism. This one-of-a-kind collection is a valuable resource for students and scholars across journalism studies disciplines, from journalism history, to sociology of news, to digital journalism and political communication.
