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.

" T]he increasing emphasis on quality in health care reform will almost certainly advantage psychologists who become Board Certified. The credential will increasingly become expected as a quality differentiator in the community.... In preparing this book the highly experienced authors, with many years of service as ABPP examiners, have provided a comprehensive and thoughtful guide to assist you in completing the process successfully."

From the Foreword by Gerald P. Koocher, PhD, ABPP DePaul University Past President, American Psychological Association

This practical guide to successfully achieving Board Certification in Clinical Psychology offers experience-based methods for increasing applicant success rates. Written by a team of accomplished clinical psychologists who are experienced mentors and former American Board of Professional Psychology (ABPP) examiners who have participated in the work of ABPP Academies, it is the only guide to focus specifically on the clinical psychology specialty. It explains the many benefits of Board Certification, and is replete with practical advice on all aspects of the three-step certification process that includes credentialing, practice samples, and the oral examination.

The guide discusses how to find the right mentor, set realistic preparation timelines, create exemplary practice samples, and prepare for the oral exam. It provides examples of application elements such as professional work statements, practice examples, oral exam questions, and excerpts from a simulated transcript of an oral exam session. Helpful tips and handy checklists reinforce each stage of the process. The guide examines and dispels myths surrounding Board Certification that promote unnecessary anxiety, and offers examples of pitfalls to avoid during the application process. Key Features:

L. Albert Hahn published the first edition of the Economic Theory of Bank Credit in 1920 and a radically revised third edition in 1930. Economic Theory of Bank Credit is a clear exposition of a theory of credit and stands in the tradition of Harley Withers, Henry Macleod, and Knut Wicksell. A theory of credit recognizes that banks are not only intermediaries of savings but in fact create money themselves. This idea is paired with a detailed account of the technical processes of the banking sector. In Part Two, Hahn provides an economic account of the effects of credit creation on the economy: banks vary their credit creation activity for various reasons and cause fluctuations in overall economic activity. Hahn therefore develops a monetary theory of the business cycle in the spirit of Schumpeter. The first and third editions draw different conclusions about central bank policy. The first edition is optimistic that an ever-lasting boom could be achieved, whilst the third edition sees the core function of central bank policy as smoothing economic fluctuations. This edition, translated into English for the first time, enables the reader to revisit this classic contribution to monetary theory. It features a complete translation of the first edition, key elements of the third edition, and a new introduction by Professor Harald Hagemann.

Wilson L. Albert has been a Pastor for nineteen years. He is presently the Senior Pastor of 'El Elyon Ministries' located in Hempstead New York. He received his call to the ministry when he was eight years old, in February 22, 1971. His life in the ministry has not always been easy, but in everything and any circumstances, God has never forsaken him. The God of the Christian is faithful. He always keeps His promises. According to Romans 8:29, God had predestined us to be conformed to the image of His Son, Jesus. The only way this will be possible, is to let the Spirit have His own way in us. He will produce His fruit in us and we will have the Son's character.

The purpose of this paper will be to assess the ability of the Air Force to pursue the technologies needed for the future Air Force. This study will examine the growth of the Air Force Research, Development, Test and Evaluation (RDTE) infrastructure from the late 1940s to the 1990s in light of the two major scientific studies - Toward New Horizons and New World Vistas. The Air Force executed Toward New Horizons by developing and infrastructure (people, facilities and investments) to pursue the technologies in current Air Force systems. New World Vistas has proposed a vision for the future facing a different infrastructure paradigm. The Air Force has committed to downsizing the RDTE infrastructure that made Toward New Horizons a reality. Conclusions and recommendations will be drawn from looking at how the Air Force executed Toward New Horizons and developed critical technology for current systems in relation to the vision of New World Vistas and the programmed and proposed reductions in the RDTE infrastructure that will have to execute that vision.
