Devotions on the Greek New Testament, Volume Two contains an
entirely new set of 52 devotions written by over 25 of today's best
biblical language scholars. Contributors include Christopher
Beetham, Jeannine K. Brown, Peter H. Davids, David A. DeSilva, J.
Scott Duvall, Nijay Gupta, Frederick J. Long, David W. Pao, Anthony
C. Thiselton, Cindy Long Westfall, and many more. The main point of
each devotion in Devotions on the Greek New Testament, Volume Two
comes from a careful reading of the passage in the Greek New
Testament, not from an English translation. The authors use a
variety of exegetical approaches in their devotions - including
grammatical, lexical, rhetorical, sociohistorical, and linguistic -
and each devotion closes with a practical application or spiritual
reflection. Devotions on the Greek New Testament, Volume Two
contains a devotion on every book in the New Testament and can be
used as a weekly devotional or as a supplemental resource
throughout a semester or sequence of courses. These devotions will
inspire you to keep reading and meditating on the Scriptures and
find new treasures from the biblical text.
The identification of the factors predicting health behaviour has
become a major focus of research in the field of health psychology
and related disciplines. This awareness not only increases our
understanding but also provides important targets for interventions
to change health behaviour. "Understanding and Changing Health
Behaviour" focuses on a range of key social cognitive factors in
this process, using examples from an impressive breadth of applied
settings that include smoking cessation, condom use and breast
examination. The book features contributions from some of the best
known researchers in the field.
Inequality is one of the major problems of the contemporary
world. Significant geographical disparities exist within nations of
the developed world, as well as between these countries and those
referred to as the 'South' in the Bruntland Report. Issues of
equity and deprivation must be addressed in view of sustainable
development. However, before policymakers can remove the obstacles
to a fairer world, it is essential to understand the nature of
inequality, both in terms of its spatial and socio-demographic
characteristics.
This second volume in the series contains population studies
that examine the disparities evident across geographical space in
the UK and between different individuals or groups. Topics include
demographic and social change, deprivation, happiness, cultural
consumption, ethnicity, gender, employment, health, religion,
education and social values. These topics and the relationships
between them are explored using secondary data from censuses,
surveys or administrative records.
In volume 1 the findings of research on fertility, living
arrangements, care and mobility are examined. Volume 3 will focus
on ethnicity and integration.
The study of behaviours that influence health and the factors
determining which individuals perform such behaviours has become a
key area of research within health psychology. This book provides
an overview of current research and practical details of how to

change health behaviours. This popular, established text has been
expanded to include the most up-to-date research on social
cognition models and health behaviours. This third edition takes
account of important developments in the field, and features:Four
new chapters on Self-Determination Theory, Prototype-Willingness
Model, Health Action Process Approach and Behaviour Change
Techniques Thoroughly updated chapters on Health Belief Model,
Protection Motivation Theory, Social Cognitive Theory, Theory of
Planned Behaviour, Implementation Intentions and Stage Models New

and Changing Health Behaviour boasts many of the leading names in
the field and provides key reading for advanced undergraduate and
postgraduate students, health promoters, health psychologists and
others interested in understanding and changing health
behaviour.Conner and Norman's book has become the cornerstone of
teaching of social cognition models in health psychology courses
and the update is very welcome. The new edition retains the format
that makes the book very accessible to researchers, teachers and
students alike i.e. a thorough overview of each of nine theoretical
approaches by prominent researchers, describing recent developments
and relevant research findings. The final chapter by the editors
identifies important cross-cutting issues and pointers to future
trends. In sum, this is the definitive text in this important area
of research and application. Professor Marie Johnston, Aberdeen

UKPredicting and Changing Health Behaviour: Research and Practice
with Social Cognition Models provides an invaluable foundation for
investigators who are committed to understanding and applying the
latest evidence regarding the psychological factors that shape
people's health practices. Professor Alex Rothman, University of

The world has changed irrevocably and a new way of life and work in every aspect is now a reality. This requires HR to review its priorities and place renewed emphasis on being human and building effective human systems and human organisations.
The old ways of “doing HR” will no longer be relevant and it is time for HR to reimagine itself in a post-Covid world. This new role will demand a “new style” of HR professional. That is exactly what Paul Norman and sixteen HR leaders are addressing in HR: The New Agenda.
