Written for undergraduate students and other prospective
counselors, A Guide to Graduate Programs in Counseling is the first
of its kind to create a comprehensive, reliable means of learning
about the counseling profession, entry level preparation (i.e.,
masters degrees in counseling specializations), and what to
consider when searching for, applying to, and ultimately selecting
a graduate program in counseling that is the "perfect fit." The
Guide offers vital information relative to accreditation and its
importance in the counseling profession with regards to obtaining
licensure, certification, and even employment opportunities after
graduating. As a CACREP publication, this book is the official
source of information about accredited counseling programs and
includes information about what counseling programs seek in
candidates, what programs can offer students in terms of
professional development and job placement, and guidance on
personal and practical considerations for entering the counseling
profession. Authored by counseling experts and featuring insights
from voices in the field, A Guide to Graduate Programs in
Counseling is a must-have resource for anyone interested in
becoming a professional counselor.
Nationalism informs our ideas about language, culture, identity,
nation, and State--ideas that are being challenged by globalization
and an emerging new economy. As language, culture, and identity are
commodified, multilingualism becomes a factor in the mobility of
people, ideas and goods--and in their value.
In Paths to Post-Nationalism, Monica Heller shows how hegemonic
discourses of language, identity, and the nation-State are
destabilized under new political and economic conditions. These
processes, she argues, put us on the path to post-nationalism.
Applying a fine-grained ethnographic analysis to the notion of
"francophone Canada" from the 1970s to the present, Heller examines
sociolinguistic practices in workplaces, schools, community
associations, NGOs, State agencies, and sites of tourism and
performance across francophone North America and Europe. Her work
shows how the tensions of late modernity produce competing visions
of social organization and competing sources of legitimacy in
attempts to re-imagine--or resist re-imagining--who we are.
The first edition of this popular reference work was published in
1993 and received critical acclaim for its achievement in bringing
together international perspectives on research and development in
giftedness and talent. Scholars welcomed it as the first
comprehensive volume in the field and it has proved to be an
indispensable resource to researchers. Since the first edition, the
scholarly field of giftedness and talent studies has expanded and
developed, welcoming contributions from researchers in related
disciplines. Several theoretical frameworks outlined in the first
edition have now been empirically tested and a number of new trends
have emerged.
The Second Edition of the International Handbook of Giftedness and
Talent provides an invaluable research tool to academics,
researchers and students interested in the field of giftedness and
talent. The contributors are renowned in the field and the broad
range of topics on giftedness that have been studied in the past
century, right up to the late 1990s, are represented in this
volume. It is truly international in scope, bringing together
leading scholars and teachers from all around the world.
This new edition has been fully updated and rewritten and includes
22 completely new chapters. It provides a comprehensive review and
critical synthesis of significant theory; a unique cross-national
perspective with contributions from over 100 distinguished authors
covering 24 nations; significant contributions from scholars
working in related fields; an increased focus on empirically
supported scholarship; and is arranged for quick and easy reference
with comprehensive subject and author indexes.
This book is divided into five sections dealing with various
fundamental issues in current research: attention, information
processing and eye movement control; the role of phonology in
reading; syntax and discourse processing and computational models
and simulations. Control and measurement of eye movements form a
prominent theme in the book. A full understanding of the where and
when of eye movement control is a prerequisite of any complete
theory of reading, since it is precisely at this point that
perceptual and cognitive processes interact.
Amongst the 'hot topics' included are the relation between
parafoveal and foveal visual processing of linguistic information,
the role of phonology in fluent reading and the emergence of
statistical 'tuning' approaches to sentence parsing.
Also discussed in the book are three attempts to develop
quantitative models of reading which represent a significant
departure in theory-building and a quantum step in the maturation
of reading research.
Much of the work reported in the book was first presented at the
5th European Workshop on Language Comprehension organised in April
1998 which was held at the CNRS Luminy Campus, near Marseilles. All
contributions summarise the state-of-the-art in the relevant areas
of reading research.
This book provides the first comprehensive legal analysis of the
twelve war crimes trials held in the American zone of occupation
between 1946 and 1949, collectively known as the Nuremberg Military
Tribunals (NMTs). The judgments the NMTs produced have played a
critical role in the development of international criminal law,
particularly in terms of how courts currently understand war
crimes, crimes against humanity, and the crime of aggression. The
trials are also of tremendous historical importance, because they
provide a far more comprehensive picture of Nazi atrocities than
their more famous predecessor, the International Military Tribunal
at Nuremberg (IMT). The IMT focused exclusively on the 'major war
criminals'-the Goerings, the Hesses, the Speers. The NMTs, by
contrast, prosecuted doctors, lawyers, judges, industrialists,
bankers-the private citizens and lower-level functionaries whose
willingness to take part in the destruction of millions of
innocents manifested what Hannah Arendt famously called 'the
banality of evil'.
The book is divided into five sections. The first section traces
the evolution of the twelve NMT trials. The second section
discusses the law, procedure, and rules of evidence applied by the
tribunals, with a focus on the important differences between Law
No. 10 and the Nuremberg Charter. The third section, the heart of
the book, provides a systematic analysis of the tribunals'
jurisprudence. It covers Law No. 10's core crimes-crimes against
peace, war crimes, and crimes against humanity-as well as the
crimes of conspiracy and membership in a criminal organization. The
fourth section then examines the modes of participation and
defenses that the tribunals recognized. The final section deals
with sentencing, the aftermath of the trials, and their historical
legacy.
This book is an ethnography of labor mobility and its challenges to
the idea of the nation. Using the example of francophone Canada, it
examines how social difference-race, ethnicity, language,
gender-has been used to sort out who must (or can) be mobile and
who must (or can) remain in place in the organization of global
circulation of human and natural resources. It argues that
"francophone Canada" can best be understood as an ethnoclass
category that has embedded francophones into specific forms of
labor mobility since the beginnings of European colonization, even
as their social difference has been constructed as national in the
interests of gaining political power. The result has been an
erasure both of francophone mobilities and of their contribution to
the rooted community that lies at the heart of the idea of the
nation, and of francophone capacity to resist economic
marginalization and exploitation. By following French Canadian
workers back and forth between eastern and central Canada and the
frontiers of the Canadian northwest, Sustaining the Nation explores
how contemporary forms of labor mobility make it increasingly
difficult for national structures and discourses to produce the
francophone nation. By following the ideological tensions between
language as a skill and language as a marker of belonging, the
authors present grounded evidence of how the globalized new economy
challenges the nation-state, and how mobilities and immobilities
are co-constructed.
Joseph Heller's powerful, wonderfully funny, deeply moving novel is
the story of David -- yes, King David -- but as you've never seen
him before. You already know David as the legendary warrior king of
Israel, husband of Bathsheba, and father of Solomon; now meet David
as he really was: the cocky Jewish kid, the plagiarized poet, and
the Jewish father. Listen as David tells his own story, a story
both relentlessly ancient and surprisingly modern, about growing up
and growing old, about men and women, and about man and God. It is
quintessential Heller.
