The emergence of a master artist alongside his first major
collection, created during a golden age of art in the nation's
capital Renowned for his innovative work with silkscreen printing,
Lou Stovall's works are part of numerous collections, including the
National Gallery of Art, Smithsonian American Art Museum, and
Phillips Collection. Washington Post art critic Paul Richard once
wrote, "As a printer of his own art, and of the art of many others,
as a framer and installer and shepherd of collections, Stovall has
inserted more art into Washington than almost anyone in town." Of
the Land: The Art and Poetry of Lou Stovall presents a series of
prints and accompanying poems that showcase the artist's work
during the 1970s, when he was developing his unique silkscreen
technique and exploring both natural and abstract elements. An
introduction by the book's editor and artist's son, Will Stovall,
along with an autobiography from the artist anchor the Of the Land
series in its time and place-a period of jazz, protest, and
prolific art production in Washington, DC, that birthed the
Washington Color School. Stovall's contributions, as well as his
collaborations with well-known artists like Jacob Lawrence, Sam
Gilliam, Elizabeth Catlett, and Robert Mangold, have cemented him
as one of the most significant American artists of our age. Part of
a tradition of African American artists and thinkers who met at
Howard University, Lou Stovall created the Workshop in 1968, a
small, active silkscreen studio printing posters for arts and
DC-focused events. His deep influence on the silkscreen medium, the
art community, and DC will be part of his lasting legacy.
The Fifth Edition of Harris Cooper's bestselling text offers
practical advice on how to conduct a synthesis of research in the
social, behavioral, and health sciences. The book is written in
plain language with four running examples drawn from psychology,
education, and health science. With ample coverage of literature
searching and the technical aspects of meta-analysis, this
one-of-a-kind book applies the basic principles of sound data
gathering to the task of producing a comprehensive assessment of
existing research.
Restoring a "perfect painter" to the Cubist canon Juan Gris
(1887-1927) was central to the development of Cubism in the early
20th century. Though the writer and art collector Gertrude Stein
considered him a "perfect painter," Gris's pivotal role within the
movement has often been overshadowed. Cubism in Color: The Still
Lifes of Juan Gris reveals the virtuosic range of the artist's
short yet prolific career, illuminating his boundary-pushing
contributions to Cubism. As a thorough examination of Gris's still
lifes, Cubism in Color provides an important reassessment of this
underappreciated artist, reestablishing his position as a modernist
master. This fully illustrated volume traces the evolution of
Gris's aesthetic and approach to still life through a selection of
key works. It includes original essays by leading scholars in the
field, offering new insights on Gris's elusive artistic process,
the history of collecting his work in the United States and his
native Spain, and his artistic legacy within modern and
contemporary Latin American art. Distributed for the Dallas Museum

Many books discuss the ethical treatment of human subjects in
behavioral research, yet few talk about the equally important
ethical issues that arise when the data are being analyzed and the
study is being written up. All researchers need to be aware of
their professional responsibilities and make sound choices after
the subjects have left. This practical and easy-to-follow guide
walks readers through often overlooked decision points in the
research process. Drawing from his extensive experience as a
teacher of research methods and a senior editorial advisor, and
from well-established standards of practice - including the APA
Ethics Code - Harris Cooper is the ideal mentor in this process.
Readers of this book will learn how to: Collect and manage data in
a way that does not compromise the confidentiality of subjects
Avoid data fraud and misleading data analysis Assign research
responsibilities and authorships to team members Avoid committing
plagiarism and intellectual theft Navigate the journal submission
and publication process Post-publication ethical considerations are
also addressed, including researchers' obligations when
communicating their findings to the media and the general public,
and when engaging with the scientific community as a peer reviewer.
Who said that Hitler did not die in the bunker in April 1945? Josef
Stalin told President Harry Truman that Hitler did not. Marshall
Zhukov said "We have found no corpse that could be Hitler's." This
book not only tells of the escape of Adolf Hitler, Eva Braun and
others of the Third Reich; it includes photographs, files from the
FBI, CIA and OSS that show the US knew they escaped, interviews and
much more. You will also read the reason that no government went
after Hitler even though they knew where he was. This book will
change the history you were taught in 5th grade.

With significant new and updated content across dozens of chapters,
this second edition presents the most exhaustive treatment
available of the techniques psychologists and others have developed
to help them pursue a shared understanding of why humans think,
feel, and behave the way they do. Â The initial chapters in
this indispensable three-volume handbook address broad,
crosscutting issues faced by researchers: the philosophical,
ethical, and societal underpinnings of psychological
research. Next, chapters detail the research planning
process, describe the range of measurement techniques that
psychologists most often use to collect data, consider how to
determine the best measurement techniques for a particular purpose,
and examine ways to assess the trustworthiness of measures. Â
Additional chapters cover various aspects of quantitative,
qualitative, neuropsychological, and biological research designs,
presenting an array of options and their nuanced distinctions.
Chapters on techniques for data analysis follow, and important
issues in writing up research to share with the community of
psychologists are discussed in the handbook’s concluding
chapters. Â Among the newly written chapters in the second
edition, the handbook’s stellar roster of authors cover
literature searching, workflow and reproducibility, research
funding, neuroimaging, various facets of a wide range of research
designs and data analysis methods, and updated information on the
publication process, including research data management and
sharing, questionable practices in statistical analysis, and
ethical issues in manuscript preparation and authorship.
To become informed consumers of research, students need to
thoughtfully evaluate the research they read rather than accept it
without question. This second edition of a classic text gives
students what they need to apply critical reasoning when reading
behavioral science research. This second edition updates the
original text with recent developments in research methods,
including a new chapter on meta-analyses. Part I gives a thorough
overview of the steps in a research project. It focuses on how to
assess whether the conclusions drawn in a behavioral science report
are warranted by the methods used in the research. Topics include
research hypotheses, sampling, experimental design, data analysis,
interpretation of results, and ethics. Part II allows readers to
practice critical thinking with a series of fictitious journal
articles containing built-in flaws in method and interpretation.
Clever and engaging, each article is accompanied by a commentary
that points out the errors of procedure and logic that have been
deliberately embedded in the article. This combination of
instruction and practical application will promote active learning
and critical thinking in students studying the behavioral sciences.
