The cataloging and classification field is changing rapidly. New
concepts and models, such as linked data, identity management, the
IFLA Library Reference Model, and the latest revision of Resource
Description and Access (RDA), have the potential to change how
libraries provide access to their collections. To prepare library
and information science (LIS) students to be successful cataloging
practitioners in this changing landscape, they need a solid
understanding of fundamental cataloging concepts, standards, and
practices: their history, where they stand currently, and
possibilities for the future. The chapters in Cataloging and
Classification: Back to Basics are meant to complement textbooks
and lectures so students can go deeper into specific topics. New
and well-seasoned library practitioners will also benefit from
reading these chapters as a way to refresh or fill gaps in their
knowledge of cataloging and classification. The chapters in this
book were originally published as a special issue of the journal,
Cataloging & Classification Quarterly.

The Positive Psychology: A Workbook for Personal Growth and
Well-Being is a companion workbook designed to accompany
Compton and Hoffman’s Positive Psychology: The Science of
Happiness and Flourishing, 4e. The workbook aligns active
learning and critical thinking applications with the twelve core
chapters of Compton and Hoffman’s textbook, but could easily be a
benefit to other Positive Psychology texts or support courses and
texts where a workbook centered on growth, well-being, and
mindfulness is desired.Â
Positive Psychology: The Science of Happiness and Flourishing
offers an up-to-date and contemporary introduction to the field of
positive psychology. The Fourth Edition includes new material on
the spread of positive psychology around the world and expanded
coverage on character strengths, emotional intelligence, leisure,
and the biology of positive emotions.
Arthur and the grail stories appeared in this French prose cycle
together for the first time; scholars explore its social,
historical, literary and manuscript contexts and account for its
enduring interest. The early thirteenth-century French prose
Lancelot-Grail Cycle (or Vulgate Cycle) brings together the stories
of Arthur with those of the Grail, a conjunction of materials that
continues to fascinate the Western imagination today. Representing
what is probably the earliest large-scale use of prose for fiction
in the West, it also exemplifies the taste for big cyclic
compositions that shaped much of European narrative fiction for
three centuries. A Companion to the Lancelot-Grail Cycle is the
first comprehensive volume devoted exclusively to the
Lancelot-Grail Cycle and its medieval legacy. The twenty essays in
this volume, all by internationally known scholars, locate the work
in its social, historical, literary, and manuscript contexts. In
addition to addressing critical issues in the five texts that make
up the Cycle, the contributors convey to modern readers the appeal
that the text must have had for its medieval audiences, and the
richness of composition that made it compelling. This volume will
become standard reading for scholars, students, and more general
readers interested in the Lancelot-Grail Cycle, medieval romance,
Malory studies, and the Arthurian legends. Contributors: RICHARD

This 2007 third edition continues to be a comprehensive and
authoritative guide to the business, practice, law, and practical
use of project finance. It covers the complete project finance
structure, from conception to negotiation to debt closing, and from
project difficulties to successful restructuring. The book
continues to be accessible to those with little experience in
project finance, while maintaining the insight and detail of
previous editions that has made it a valuable reference for the
experienced lawyer, manager, banker, contractor, and government
official. This edition focuses on a real-world, practical approach
to project finance, without the overuse of case studies and
economic theory. Yet the contract forms, detailed glossary, index,
and project finance bibliography make it a complete text.
Contemporary theories have generally focused on either the behavioral, cognitive or emotional dimensions of prosocial moral development. This volume provides the first comprehensive account of prosocial moral development in children. The book's focus is empathy's contribution to altruism and compassion for others in physical, psychological, or economic distress; feelings of guilt over harming someone; feelings of anger at others who do harm; feelings of injustice when others do not receive their due. Also highlighted are the psychological processes involved in empathy's interaction with certain parental behaviors that foster moral internalization in children and the psychological processes involved in empathy's relation to abstract moral principles.
Tacoma’s vibrant Nihonmachi of the 1920s and '30s was home to a
significant number of first generation Japanese immigrants and
their second generation American children, and these families
formed tight-knit bonds despite their diverse religious,
prefectural, and economic backgrounds. As the city’s Nisei grew
up attending the secular Japanese Language School, they absorbed
the Meiji-era cultural practices and ethics of the previous
generation. At the same time, they positioned themselves in new and
dynamic ways, including resisting their parents and pursuing lives
that diverged from traditional expectations. Becoming Nisei, based
on more than forty interviews, shares stories of growing up in
Japanese American Tacoma before the incarceration. Recording these
early twentieth-century lives counteracts the structural forgetting
and erasure of prewar histories in both Tacoma and many other urban
settings after World War II. Lisa Hoffman and Mary Hanneman
underscore both the agency of Nisei in these processes as well as
their negotiations of prevailing social and power relations.

Articles on comedy in Arthurian romance - French, Dutch, Italian,
Scottish and English. The texts analyzed underline the wide
dissemination of the Arthurian story in medieval and post-medieval
Europe, from Scotland to Italy, while the various analyses of the
manifestations of comedy refute the notion of romance as
ahumourless genre. Indeed, the comic treatment of conventional
themes and motifs appears to be not only characteristic of later
romance but an essential element of the genre from its beginnings
and from its earliest development. Authors of Arthurian romance,
from Chretien de Troyes to Malory, writing in French, Italian,
Middle Dutch, and Middle English, and the creators of an Irish
prose-tale, all question the fundamental assumptions of romance and
romancevalues through the medium of comedy. The theme of comedy in
Arthurian romance has been developed from the orignal session at
the Arthurian Congress in Toulouse. Contributors: ELIZABETH
