Children's adventure drama following the unusual relationship
between a military search and rescue robot and an unpopular
schoolkid. When Henry (Bobby Coleman) finds an abandoned robot
called Cody (voice of Jae Head) in a dumpster, he decides to take
it home and fix it. As Cody then becomes conscious, Henry soon
realises that he is much more than a toy when it becomes apparent
that the military lab that created Cody would very much like to get
him back.
Behavior modification has lacked operational procedures to
sharpen techniques and equipment. These aspects have lagged behind
the development of general principles and specialized modification
techniques. This sophisticated sourcebook is devoted exclusively to
the technical details of "how-to-do-it" in behavioral assessment
and practice--an aspect of behavior modification that is relatively
undeveloped despite its significance and that has only recently
received the attention it deserves.
The selections contained in this volume have been drawn from a
variety of technical areas and are organized into six main parts.
The first part emphasizes the importance of technology and
procedure in the history of the field, and in the second part
attention is given to guidelines for practice with individuals and
families that may be employed with a wide variety of problems and
patrons in many service settings. The next part, on interviewing
guidelines and style, includes an interview guide for behavioral
counseling and a general discussion of types of bias and therapist
influence in behavioral assessment. Part four is concerned with
observation, recording, and monitoring; and part five, on schedules
and checklists, includes a variety of schedules and rating forms,
including a therapist schedule for rating family verbal behavior.
The last part, on instrumentation in behavior therapy, contains a
chapter that is a major, comprehensive description and review of
electromechanical devices applicable to behavior modification.
Because the book covers procedural details, it serves not only
as a sourcebook but as a volume every practicing behavior modifier,
as well as researchers in behavior therapy and modification will
find useful. Social workers, teachers, clinical psychologists,
psychiatrists, pastoral counselors, and their students will
appreciate this manual covering technical information required for
effective practice.
"Behavioral Methods in Social Welfare" offers positive proof that
behaviorism has come of age in social work. Steven Paul Schinke and
the contributors to this volume are social work practitioners who
document their attempts to extend the basic tenets of behavioral
psychology from the laboratory, clinic, and classroom to the full
range of client groups and social problems that make up the
practice of social work. In social work education, traditionally to
the extent it appeared in the curriculum at all, behavioral content
appeared in electives or in courses not focused on practice. It is
a true measure of progress that behavioral methods are now visible,
integral component of social work education and practice.The
authors of each piece in this collection indicate progress in
developing an empirically based approach to social work practice.
Despite the impressive documentation contained in the present
volume, no conclusive evidence as to the effectiveness of
behavioral methods exists. What behavioral methods do offer,
however, is a systematic format for both problem intervention and
evaluation that, over time, should produce a more empirically based
practice. A promising sign, well documented in the present effort,
is the facility with which this book has subjected practice
procedures to the rigor of research and evaluation.This blending of
clinical practice and research develops the sense of competence
that student-practitioners acquire in understanding and controlling
both the art and science of their clinical practice. Steven Schinke
and his colleagues offer a series of "snapshots" of important work
in process. Their collective portrait provides a fresh perspective
and new stimulus for all social work practice, as well as an
affirmation that disciplined, responsive, and sensitive social work
intervention can make a difference in the lives of people.

Melopoetics, the study of the multifarious relations between music
and literature, has emerged in recent years as an increasingly
popular field of interdisciplinary inquiry. In this volume, noted
musicologists and literary critics explore diverse topics of shared
concern such as literary theory as a model for musical criticism,
genre theories in literature and music, the criticism and analysis
of texted music and the role of aesthetic, historical and cultural
understanding in concepts of text/music convergence. These fourteen
essays - united here not by a common ideology but by common subject
matter - demonstrate how musical and literary scholarship can
combine forces effectively on the common ground of contemporary
critical theory and interpretive practice. The concluding essay by
interdisciplinary historian Hayden White locates this ambitious
enterprise of contemplating 'music and text' in the larger context
of intellectual history.

field. This book offers practical guidance on a range of Human
Factors methods that can be used to rigorously and reliably explore
LUP & UD. It provides new ways to interpret urban space and

of our surroundings. The methodologies outlined allow for the
consideration of the technical aspects of the built environment
with the necessary experience and human centered approaches to our
urban and regional settings. This book describes 30 Human Factors
methods for use in the LUP & UD context. While it explores
theory, it also focuses on the question of what Human Factors
methods are; their advantages and disadvantages; step-by-step
guidance on how to carry them out; and case studies to guide the
reader. Describes the practice and processes associated with urban
and regional strategic planning Constructed so that students,

Jesus' teachings turned the world upside down. He told people to
love each other, no matter who they were. That sounds good on the
surface, but it can be extremely challenging to live out in
everyday life. From the very first moment of its existence, the
church struggled with this basic principle. People who had been
enemies for generations were now asked to love each other. Jews
loving Gentiles? Men treating women with respect? Owners honoring
workers? Rich people equal with the poor? Emperial citizens sharing
with barbarians? You've got to be kidding. Sound familiar? After 19
centuries we still struggle with racial, gender, religious, and
class issues. That's where Paul's letters can be helpful. Born a
Roman citizen, trained under the best Jewish Rabbi, and schooled in
Greek culture, Paul learned to become "all things to all men." His
mission was to bridge the gap between cultures and show people how
to follow Jesus' teachings in everyday life. True, he lived in a
different time, and his specific solutions might not fit exactly in
our culture, but the spirit behind Paul's instructions ring true in
our world. This 16-week Bible Study will help you eavesdrop on
conversations between Paul and the people that he loved and led, so
you can glean valuable lessons for how to follow Jesus' teachings
today.
