Praise for the First Edition All medical statisticians involved in
clinical trials should read this book - Controlled Clinical Trials
Featuring a unique combination of the applied aspects of
randomization in clinical trials with a nonparametric approach to
inference, Randomization in Clinical Trials: Theory and Practice,
Second Edition is the go-to guide for biostatisticians and
pharmaceutical industry statisticians. Randomization in Clinical
Trials: Theory and Practice, Second Edition features: * Discussions
on current philosophies, controversies, and new developments in the
increasingly important role of randomization techniques in clinical
trials * A new chapter on covariate-adaptive randomization,
including minimization techniques and inference * New developments
in restricted randomization and an increased focus on computation
of randomization tests as opposed to the asymptotic theory of
randomization tests * Plenty of problem sets, theoretical
exercises, and short computer simulations using SAS(R) to
facilitate classroom teaching, simplify the mathematics, and ease
readers understanding Randomization in Clinical Trials: Theory and
Practice, Second Edition is an excellent reference for researchers
as well as applied statisticians and biostatisticians. The Second
Edition is also an ideal textbook for upper-undergraduate and
graduate-level courses in biostatistics and applied statistics.

In Jay Rosenberg's lively and accessible introductory dialogue,
four bright students explore a number of the central topics and
problems of contemporary epistemology -- scepticism and certainty,
internalism and externalism, foundationalism and coherentism, and
the nature and limits of justification. Their wide-ranging
discussion highlights many of the vivid and imaginative
thought-experiments that have shaped both classical and
contemporary reflections on the scope and character of our
knowledge of the world.

Wilfrid Sellars was and remains one of the most prominent and
important twentieth-century philosophers: his writings played a key
role in shaping the philosophical agenda in the English-speaking
world during the second half of the 20th century, and they remain
an active focus of intense critical attention and lively
discussion. Jay Rosenberg studied under Sellars in the early 1960s,
was continuously engaged with his work for over forty years, and
was widely regarded both as its foremost expositor and as one of
Sellars' truest disciples. This was the last book that Rosenberg
completed before his death at the age of only sixty-five. In it he
gathers previously published studies of the central elements and
implications of Sellars' philosophy, along with three new essays
that further highlight and articulate the significance of his work,
both historically and with respect to contemporary debates.
Jay Rosenberg introduces Immanuel Kant's masterwork, the Critique
of Pure Reason, from a 'relaxed' problem-oriented perspective which
treats Kant as an especially insightful practising philosopher,
from whom we still have much to learn, intelligently and creatively
responding to significant questions that transcend his work's
historical setting. Rosenberg's main project is to command a clear
view of how Kant understands various perennial problems, how he
attempts to resolve them, and to what extent he succeeds. The
constructive portions of the First Critique - the Aesthetic and
Analytic - are explored in detail; the Paralogisms and Antinomies
more briefly. At the same time the book is an introduction to the
challenges of reading the text of Kant's work and, to that end,
selectively adopts a more rigorous historical and exegetical
stance. Accessing Kant will be an invaluable resource for advanced
students and for any scholar seeking Rosenberg's own distinctive
insights into Kant's work.

Experts representing practitioners, researchers, advocates, and
triad members, explore the similarities and differences between
adoptees placed as infants and as older children. The book promotes
better integration of theory, practice, policy, and research in
working with clients who are members of the adoption triad:
adoptees, birth parents, and adoptive families. For the first time,
the separate practice areas are bridged, pointing out the
significant overlap between the two populations and the similar
interventions that can be used when working with adoptees
regardless of their age at placement. Developed as a resource text
for practitioners, researchers, students, and adoptive triad
members, the first chapter provides an overview of the clinical and
practice issues. Next the work presents issues surrounding
infertility, and explores identity development with a following
chapter on search and reunion issues. The fifth chapter discusses
adoption support, both historically and with current developments
and issues. The work then examines ethics and offers a model for
ethical adoption practice. The seventh chapter explores treatment
issues from a family systems perspective. Chapter 8 discusses the
issues in transracial adoptions, examining history, policy,
research and practice. The final chapter offers an analysis of
international adoption, one of the modes of adoption that has
expanded greatly over the last 10 years.
