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.

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 conservation of skin, leather and related materials is an area
that, until now, has had little representation by the written word
in book form. Marion Kite and Roy Thomson, of the Leather
Conservation Centre, have prepared a text which is both
authoritative and comprehensive, including contributions from the
leading specialists in their fields, such as Betty Haines, Mary Lou
Florian, Ester Cameron and Jim Spriggs. The book covers all aspects
of Skin and Leather preservation, from Cuir Bouillie to
Bookbindings. There is significant discussion of the technical and
chemical elements necessary in conservation, meaning that
professional conservators will find the book a vital part of their
collection. As part of the Butterworth-Heinemann Black series, the
book carries the stamp of approval of the leading figures in the
world of Conservation and Museology, and as such it is the only
publication available on the topic carrying this immediate mark of
authority.

First published in 2005, An Architecture of invitation: Colin St
John Wilson is a distinctive study of the life and architectural
career of one of the most significant makers, theorists and
teachers of architecture to have emerged in England in the second
half of the twentieth century. Exceptionally in an architectural
study, this book interweaves biography, critical analysis of the
projects, and theory, in its aims of explicating the richness of
Wilson's body of work, thought and teaching. Drawing on the
specialisms of its authors, it also examines the creative and
psychological impulses that have informed the making of the work -
an oeuvre whose experiential depth is recognised by both users and
critics.
This book provides a comprehensive overview of research methods in
the behavioral sciences, focusing primarily on the conceptual
issues inherent in conducting research. It covers topics that are
often omitted from other texts, including measurement issues,
correlational research, qualitative research, and integrative
literature reviews. The book also includes discussions of diversity
issues as they related to behavioral science research. New to this
edition are chapter boxes that focus on applied issues related to
each chapter topic. Throughout the book, readable examples and
informative tables and figures are provided. The authors also take
a contemporary approach to topics such as research ethics,
replication research, and data collection (including internet
research).

France and Cyprus. Illustrated with over 100 black and white
