ATTRIBUTIONS, ACCOUNTS AND CLOSE RELATIONSHPIS documents
attributional and accounts approaches to the study of close
relationships. Issues of focus include communication pro- blems in
marriage and their relationship with causal attri- butions; marital
violence and its relationship with early learning experience;
ego-defensive attribution and excuse- making in couples and with
respect to medical problems; and attributions about transitions in
relationships.

concept of Boker Tov--Good Morning!
A Random Walk in Science provides insight into the wit and
intellect of the scientific mind through a blend of amusing and
serious contributions written by and about scientists. The book
records changing attitudes within science and mirrors the
interactions of science with society. Some of the contributors
include Lewis Carroll, Isaac Newton, Jonathan Swift, and James
Clark Maxwell. This entertaining anthology covers Murphy's Law, the
trial of Galileo, life on Earth, Gulliver's computer, and much
more.

Written in a way that facilitates understanding of complex
concepts, laws, and policy, Production, Growth, and the
Environment: An Economic Approach explores how economic growth
usually makes people better off, but also asks at what
environmental cost? These costs are not often realized until after
the fact, when their remediation is more expensive, and sometimes
not reversible. Very few books on environmental economics model the
joint production of desirable and undesirable outcomes in any
depth. This book fills that void. It discusses the demographic
transition and the escape from the Malthusian trap. It also covers
the environmental Kuznets curve hypothesis that examines the
relation between polluting outputs and economic welfare. The book
integrates environmental valuation methods with the production
possibility frontier (PPF) approach. It presents both types of
outcomes in a PPF framework that accounts for scarcity and allows
the concepts of technical and allocative efficiencies to be
introduced and measured. The PPF can then measure technological
progress/regress and can be used to measure whether resource use is
sustainable over time. It can also be used to determine shadow
prices for non-market desirable outputs such as ecological services
and non-market undesirable by-products such as SO2, NOx, and CO2
that arise from fossil fuel combustion. The beauty of the PPF
framework is that it can be depicted in simple two-dimensional
diagrams that make the concepts easy to understand. The author uses
this framework to introduce concepts such as technical efficiency,
allocative efficiency, technological progress/regress, shadow
pricing, externalities, public goods, pollution taxes, and permits.
In addition, each chapter has numerous problems and discussion
questions that provide examples and practice in using the
introduced theories. The book also includes a chapter that shows
how the solver routine in Excel can be used to measure technical
and allocative efficiency. This gives you the tools to examine all
outcomes and therefore make a decision that takes into account the
environmental challenges along with any economic benefits.

Meet joyful babies and toddlers in daily life. Introduces the
concept of Lailah Tov, Good Night!
Written in a personal, story-telling style, "Odyssey" weaves
excerpts of actual relationships with current and classic research
to provide a better perspective on our own experiences in light of
the principles of relationships. Highlights of its comprehensive
coverage include the classic research on personal attraction,
dating and meeting others for closeness, and the maintenance and
dissolution of relationships. "Recommendations for Growth" provides
an opportunity for readers to directly apply current research and
theory to their own relationships.
Features new to this edition include the latest research and
therapeutic techniques on maintaining and enhancing relationships;
a new chapter on the family with recent demographic changes and a
look at the ongoing debates about the impact of cohabitation,
divorce, and blended families; and new chapters on same sex
relationships and the dark side of relationships, including why
women stay in abusive relationships.
"Odyssey of the Heart" serves as a text for courses on close
and/or interpersonal relationships. Its accessibility and inclusion
of many actual experiences will engage the general reader.

Due to a steady flow of requests over several years,
Springer-Verlag now provides a corrected reprint of this text. It
is designed to serve as a text for a first semester graduate level
course for students in digital communication systems. As a pre
requisite, it is presumed that the reader has an understanding of
basic probability and stochastic processes. The treatment of
digital communications in this book is intended to serve as an
introduction to the subject. Part one is a development of the
elements of statistical communication theory and radar detection.
The text begins with a general model of a communication system
which is extensively developed and the performance analyses of
various conventional systems. The first part also serves as
introductory material for the second part of the text which is a
comprehensive study of the theory of transmitter optimization for
coherent and noncoherent digital commu nication systems, that is,
the theory of signal design."
Evolving from the oral tradition that gave us Torah and Talmud,
folktales illuminate and reinforce the lessons of our heritage. We
tell them to entertain our children, and also to pass on our
values.
It's Too Crowded in Here is a collection of Jewish folktales and
midrashic stories in this spirit, enlivened by colorful
illustrations. Fun just to read aloud with children, the stories
also provide a rich yet light-hearted resource for exploring key
values such as self respect, compassion, appreciation, tolerance,
and thankfulness.
Resource pages after each story provide some brief background
linking the story with its underlying message and connecting it to
sources in Jewish tradition. Appropriate for any background or
level of Jewish knowledge, these supplemental notes, together with
a few open-ended questions and activity suggestions based on each
story, can help those who would like to lead children through a
deeper exploration of each story.

to life. Tradition! is divided into three sections: Jewish
Life-Cycle explains the meaning of the Jewish practices and customs
of basic life-cycle events, such as marriage, having a baby, and
mourning the death of a loved one. Jewish Holidays presents the
history and customs of the feasts, fasts, and festivals that mark
the Jewish calendar. Jewish Home Observance will guide you through
the basic ritual objects, blessings, songs, and foods that make
each holiday unique, presenting Hebrew blessings and their
transliterations, holiday rituals, popular recipes, and much more.
The perfect holiday gift, or a gift to mark a bar or bat mitzvah,
graduation, confirmation, or wedding, Tradition! is a resource to
turn to again and again for celebrating the milestones of Jewish
life and the cycles of the Jewish year.
Winner of the Australian and New Zealand Society of Criminology
Christine M Alder Book Prize 2013Controlling border crossing has
become an urgent concern under conditions of globalization, leading
Western governments to introduce increasingly coercive control
measures. Far from eradicating spontaneous border crossing, this
defensive geography has fuelled illicit people-smuggling markets,
and forced asylum seekers and illegalized travellers into
increasingly hazardous journeys. Drawing on data from official
sources, media reports and lists of deaths collated by
non-governmental organizations in Europe, Australia and North
America, this book draws direct parallels between the border
control policies adopted across the Global North, and a mounting
death toll of illegalized border crossers. It analyses the
political and material conditions driving contemporary border
control policies and discusses the processes that mediate popular
and official understandings of border-related fatalities. In
seeking to account for, rather than merely count, border-related
deaths the book is intended to shift the debate about contemporary
border controls towards the acceptance of a more mobility-tolerant
future.
