Psychology of Prejudice and Discrimination provides a comprehensive and compelling overview of what psychological theory and research have to say about the nature, causes, and reduction of prejudice and discrimination. It balances a detailed discussion of theories and selected research with applied examples that ensure the material is relevant to students. This edition has been thoroughly revised and updated and addresses several interlocking themes. It first looks at the nature of prejudice and discrimination, followed by a discussion of research methods. Next come the psychological underpinnings of prejudice: the nature of stereotypes, the conditions under which stereotypes influence responses to other people, contemporary theories of prejudice, and how individuals' values and belief systems are related to prejudice. Explored next are the development of prejudice in children and the social context of prejudice. The theme of discrimination is developed via discussions of the nature of discrimination, the experience of discrimination, and specific forms of discrimination, including gender, gender identity, sexual orientation, age, ability, and appearance. The concluding theme is the reduction of prejudice. The book is accompanied by a comprehensive website featuring an Instructor Manual that contains activities and tools to help with teaching a prejudice and discrimination course; PowerPoint slides for every chapter; and a Test Bank with short answer and multiple-choice exam questions for every chapter. This book is an essential companion for all students of prejudice and discrimination, including those in psychology, education, social work, business, communication studies, ethnic studies, and other disciplines. In addition to courses on prejudice and discrimination, this book will also appeal to those studying racism and diversity.

"The Ethics of Teaching" provides a frank discussion of the most
frequently encountered ethical dilemmas that can arise in
educational settings, as well as tips on how to avoid these
predicaments and how to deal with them when they do occur. The goal
is to stimulate discussion and raise faculties' consciousness about
ethical issues.
This book, written by two nationally renowned scholars in the area
of ethics in higher education, is intended to help teachers and
administrators understand and handle problems of academic
dishonesty. Chock-full of practical advice, the book is divided
into three parts. Part I reviews the existing published literature
about academic dishonesty among college and university students and
how faculty members respond to the problem. Part II presents
practical advice designed to help college and university
instructors and administrators deal proactively and effectively
with academic dishonesty. Part III considers the broader question
of academic integrity as a system-wide issue within institutions of
higher education.
Human sexuality researchers often find themselves faced with
questions that entail conceptual, methodological, or ethical issues
for which their professional training or prior experience may not

guidance to students and professionals interested in the empirical
study of human sexuality from behavioral and social scientific
perspectives. It provides practical and concrete advice about
conducting human sexuality research and addresses issues inherent
to both general social scientific and specific human sexuality
research.

Due to a personnel error, a young Army Staff Sergeant is assigned to Vietnam as an Intelligence Annalist and immediately assigned to a combat unit where he led a POW Contact Team responsible for evaluating enemy prisoners. Knowing that if he determined the POWs were of no intelligence value, they would be turned over to the local South Vietnamese Commander, and would probably be executed. During this assignment he was involved in an ambush which left two of his team wounded. Then went on a covert assignment into Cambodia to find a downed pilot. When the MACV(Military Assistance Command Vietnam) Unit he was assigned to was reorganized the was mistakenly assigned to the 1st Air Cavalry Division just a day prior to the largest combat air lift in the Vietnam war. Within a six hour period an entire combat brigade including artillery was airlifted to within 4 miles of the besieged Marines at Khe Sanh. When MACV Headquarters located their missing Sergeant, he received orders reassigning from the 1st Air Cavalry back to MACV where he was assigned to a Phoenix Program assassination team made up of former Foreign Legionnaires that stayed in Vietnam after the French left. Recommended for this assignment by his old nemesis Jack Roark. Roark is allegedly a Cultural Attache with the Embassy, but is in fact a C.I.A. case officer, and it is not the first time he has involved himself with the young Sergeant's career.
