Written by the Chief and Deputy Chief Psychologists for the
Ministry of Justice, and updated to take account of the changes in
structure within offender management Services, "Psychology in
Prisons," second edition, takes an in-depth look at the work of
psychologists in Prisons. Building on the key strengths of the first edition, this book
focuses exclusively on the prison environment, where other
competing texts do not, and prioritizes the practical application
of theory. The authors begin by contextualising psychological work
in prisons, and then covering evidence-based practice in key areas
such as drug misuse, violent offending and sex offending. The focus
is very much on the needs of the patient/client group, and the
third section consists of four chapters on the practicalities of
psychological assessments and interventions. This new edition is further strengthened by more in-depth consideration of 'diversity' issues such as age, gender, socio-economic group, sexuality and ethnicity, which arguably impact on effective practice and will be fundamental reading for practitioners working in prisons.
Forests cover approximately 30% of total land area and function as habitats for organisms, hydrologic flow modulators, and soil conservers, constituting one of the most important aspects of the Earth's biosphere. The canopy is one of the uppermost levels of a forest, below the emergent layer, formed by the tree crowns. The canopy is home to unique flora and fauna not found in other layers of a forest. Trees in the canopy are able to photosynthesise very rapidly thanks to the large amount of light, so it supports the widest diversity of plant as well as animal life in most rainforests. This book presents a wide variety of topics on the ecosystem in forest canopies. Included is a study on light distribution patterns and how it effects the daily photosynthesis of herbaceous vegetation. Recent progress, concerns, and future directions in simulations of vegetation processes are presented as well, in the terrestrial biosphere model that is coupled to a climate system model.
