Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not
used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad
quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are
images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to
keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the
original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain
imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made
available for future generations to enjoy.

This edited volume presents nine new state-of-the-science chapters
covering topics relevant to psychology and law, from established
and emerging researchers in the field. Relevant to researchers,
clinical practitioners, and policy makers, topics include
discussions of rape and sexual assault, eyewitness identification,
body-worn cameras, forensic gait analysis, evaluations and
assessments, veteran's experiences, therapeutic animals and
wrongful convictions.
Given that charge acceleration is the cause of all electromagnetic
radiation, the question arises about where such acceleration occurs
on objects typically modelled and analysed by electromagnetic
engineers. Charge acceleration, as the cause of radiation from
these typical kinds of objects (antennas, radars etc) is examined
in this book on a quantitative basis. The book describes new ways
of modelling the actual distribution of EM radiation waves from its
various sources. Unlike other books on EM it focuses on radiation,
a fundamental property of electromagnetic fields, it does not
follow the usual analytical kind of approach to be found in a book
on electromagnetics. Rather than developing and presenting a formal
theoretical foundation of electromagnetic theory, this book instead
focuses on various aspects of EM radiation from a variety of
perspectives. The goal is to provide the reader with computational
tools for determining quantitatively why and where radiation is
emitted by antennas and scatterers. This is a unique approach which
is of wide interest to the EM theoretical community.
As with its esteemed predecessor, this timely volume offers ways of
applying psychological knowledge to address pressing concerns in
legal procedures and potentially to reduce criminal offending. In
such areas as interrogations, expert testimony, evidence
admissibility, and the "death qualification" process in capital
trials, contributors offer scientific bases for trends in suspect,
witness, and juror behavior and identify those practices liable to
impinge on just outcomes. Recommendations span a wide range of
research, practice, and policy areas, from better approaches to
assessment to innovative strategies for reducing recidivism. The
interdisciplinary perspectives of these chapters shed salient light
on both the reach of the issues and possibilities for intervening
to improve the functioning of the justice system. Among the topics
covered: * The validity of pleading guilty. * The impact of
emotions on juror judgments and decision making. * The content,
purpose, and effects of expert testimony on interrogation practices
and suspect confessions. * A synthetic perspective on the own-race
bias in eyewitness identification. * Risk-reducing interventions
for justice-involved individuals.* Criminal justice and
psychological perspectives on deterring gangs. As a means to spur
research and discussion, and to inspire further collaboration
between the fields, Volume 2 of Advances in Psychology and Law will
interest and intrigue researchers and practitioners in
law-psychology as well as practicing attorneys, trial consultants,
and clinical psychologists.
This volume is the most comprehensive reference book on community
sentiment available. The classic book about community sentiment is
Norm Finkel's "Commonsense Justice: Jurors' Notions of the Law"
(1995). A similarly influential book called "Justice, Liability,
and Blame" was published at the same time, examining lay sentiment
about a variety of criminal issues and suggesting ways in which the
substantive criminal law could be reformed in light of such lay
responses (Robinson & Darley, 1995). Although these books were
influential and important for their time (and since), this Handbook
expands significantly on them, both by updating research since that
time and broadens the scope of topic areas to ones that are not
limited to trial and criminal justice issues. Each chapter is
original/unpublished and focuses on an area related to
children/families, many of which are "hot topic" areas in the news
and courts today. For instance, the U.S. Supreme Court decided a
case in June 2012 about the constitutionality of "life without
parole" for juvenile offenders-a topic discussed in the Fass and
Miora chapter. Thus, it is of interest to those interested in
family law topics as well.
This book focuses on those virus families that are found primarily
or exclusively in insects, covering all major families of
insect-selective viruses except for the baculoviruses which were
described in a previous volume of "The Viruses" series. The topics
include: the large DNA viruses; the small DNA densoviruses; the RNA
viruses; and, the arbovirus expression systems and their potential
employment in the future. Ninety-eight illustrations supplement the
text.
The latest entry in this noteworthy series continues its focus on
psychological issues relating to legal and judicial matters, with
sound recommendations for situational and system-wide improvement.
Salient concerns are described both in areas where their existence
is frequently acknowledged (juror impartiality, the juvenile
justice system) and where they are rarely considered (Miranda
warnings, forensic mental health experts). Authors describe
differences between professional and lay concepts of justice
principles--and the resulting disconnect between community
sentiment and the law. Throughout these chapters, psychological
nuances and their legal implications are made clear as they relate
to lawyers, jurors, suspects, and victims. Included among the
topics: * From the headlines to the jury room: an examination of
the impact of pretrial publicity on jurors and juries. * Victim
impact statements in capital sentencing: 25 years post-Payne. *
Psychology and the Fourth Amendment. * Examining the presenting
characteristics, short-term effects, and long-term outcomes
associated with system-involved youths. * Indigenous youth crime:
an international perspective. * An empirical analysis of
law-psychology journals: who's publishing and on what? As with the
others in the series, this third volume of Advances in Psychology
and Law will interest researchers in legal psychology and related
disciplines (e.g., criminal justice) as well as practicing
attorneys, trial consultants, and clinical psychologists.
How does it feel to be a police officer in the UK? What happens in
the brains of officers, particularly in high-risk roles such as
counter-terrorism and child sexual exploitation? Jessica Miller
uses the most recent neuroscience and real-life examples to explore
risks to individual resilience, be it trauma exposure, burnout or
simply the daily pressure of adapting to life on the front line. A
compulsory read for anyone with an interest in policing, the book
offers practical, easy-to-follow resilience techniques applicable
to anyone in the wider emergency responder community. The book also
offers policy and operational recommendations to equip police
officers with skills to face crime in a post-COVID world.
The present volume consists of up-to-date review articles on topics
relevant to psychology and law, and will be of current interest to
the field. Notably, the majority of these topics are currently
attracting a great deal of research and public policy attention in
the U.S. and elsewhere, as evidenced by programs at the American
Psychology-Law Society and related conferences. Topics for the
present volume include: attitudes toward the police (Cole et al.),
alibis (Charman et al.), hate crimes based on gender and sexual
orientation (Plumm & Leighton), the role of gender at trial
(Livingston et al.), neuroimages in court (Glen), intimate partner
violence (Mauer & Reppucci), post-identification feedback
(Douglass & Smalarz) and individual differences in eyewitness
identification (Snowden & Bornstein), veterans' wellbeing
(Berthelot & Prager), and plea bargaining (Levett).
Kidney Development and Disease brings together established and
young investigators who are leading authorities in nephrology to
describe recent advances in three primary areas of research. The
first section describes the use of animal models as powerful tools
for the discovery of numerous molecular mechanisms regulating
kidney development. The second section focuses on nephric cell
renewal and differentiation, which lead to diverse cell fates
within the developing kidney, and discusses diseases resulting from
the aberrant regulation of the balance between cell fate decisions.
The final section concentrates on morphogenesis of the developing
kidney and its maintenance after formation as well as the diseases
resulting from failures in these processes. Kidney form and
function have been extensively studied for centuries, leading to
discoveries related to their development and disease. Recent
scientific advances in molecular and imaging techniques have
broadened our understanding of nephron development and maintenance
as well as the diseases related to these processes.
British Literature of the Blitz interrogates the patriotic, utopian
ideal of the People's War by analyzing conflicted representations
of class and gender in literature and film. Its subtitle - Fighting
the People's War - describes how British citizens both united to
fight Nazi Germany and questioned the nationalist ideology binding
them together.
Two narratives intertwine in The Chenango Kid. One is the personal
story of the author, Roger Miller, who grew up on Chenango Street,
a main artery of the medium-sized industrial city of Binghamton,
New York, in the 1950s. The second is the larger story of the
1950s. Each narrative enlarges upon the other. Many elements make
up the personal: a devastating house fire; a single mother who
liked to work and to frequent taverns; a father, mystified by life,
less devoted to work than to benignly stalking his son; a
half-sister long unknown; a drunken and/or crazy uncle or two; a
boyhood paradise in the hills of Pennsylvania; and a passion for
reading and art. All in all an unconventionally conventional
working-class youth. The Chenango Kid also connects Chenango Street
to the wider world of the Fifties, a vibrant, explosive decade in
art, literature, music, movies, and television making it The Decade
That Never Ends. The popular culture of no other ten-year span in
the century continues to exert its influence as strongly or to be
revived as often as that of the 1950s.
Nanocharacterization by Atom Probe Tomography is a practical guide
for researchers interested atomic level characterization of
materials with atom probe tomography. Readers will find
descriptions of the atom probe instrument and atom probe tomography
technique, field ionization, field evaporation and field ion
microscopy. The fundamental underlying physics principles are
examined, in addition to data reconstruction and visualization,
statistical data analysis methods and specimen preparation by
electropolishing and FIB-based techniques. A full description of
the local electrode atom probe - a new state-of-the-art instrument
- is also provided, along with detailed descriptions and
limitations of laser pulsing as a method to field evaporate atoms.
Valuable coverage of the new ionization theory is also included,
which underpins the overall technique.
Inheritance and Wealth in America is a superb collection of
original essays, written in nontechnical language by experts in
sociology, economics, anthropology, history, law, and other
disciplines. Notable chapters provide - an outstanding
interpretative history of inheritance in American legal thought - a
critical review of the literature on the economics of inheritance
at the household and societal levels - a superb history of Federal
taxation of wealth transfers, and - a sociological examination of
inheritance and its role in class reproduction and stratification.
This groundbreaking work is of value to any researcher dealing with
the transmission of wealth and privilege across generations.
Transatlantic Literature and Culture After 9/11 asks whether
post-9/11 America has chosen the 'wrong side of paradise' by waging
war on terror rather than working for global peace. Analyzing
transatlantic literature and culture, the book refocuses our view
of Ground Zero through the lenses of imperial power and
cosmopolitan exchange.
The past decade has witnessed an explosion of information on the
molecular biology of insect viruses and a frenzy of activity in
applying this information to medicine and agriculture. Genetically
engineered baculoviruses are presently being tested for commercial
use as pesticides, and the study of such viruses is also revealing
remarkable insights into basic cellular processes such as
apoptosis. This comprehensive volume provides readers with
knowledge of basic and applied baculovirology so that current
literature in the field can be appreciated.
