This textbook serves as a guide to design and evaluate evidence-based programs intended to prevent or counter violent extremism (P/CVE). Violent extremism and related hate crimes are problems which confront societies in virtually every region of the world; this text examines how we can prevent or counter violent extremism using a systematic, evidence-based approach. The book, equal parts theoretical, methodological and applied, represents the first science-based guide for understanding "what makes hate," and how to design and evaluate programs intended to prevent this. Though designed to serve as a primary course textbook, the work can readily serve as a how-to guide for self-study, given its abundant links to freely available online toolkits and templates. As such, it is designed to inform both students and practitioners alike with respect to the management, design, or evaluation of programs intended to prevent or counter violent extremism. Written by a leading social scientist in the field of P/CVE program evaluation, this book is rich in both scientific rigor and examples from the "real world" of research and evaluation dedicated to P/CVE. This book will be essential reading for students of terrorism, preventing or countering violent extremism, political violence, and deradicalization, and highly recommended for students of criminal justice, criminology, and behavioural psychology.

In 2003, the idea that Americans were from Mars and Europeans from Venus stirred up serious conversation about the nature of the transatlantic relationship on both sides of the Atlantic. While useful in prompting discussion, the introduction of pop-psychology terminology into IR lexicon was essentially divisive and not analytically helpful. Kagan relied on journalistic generalization, rather than tested academic methods to support his work. This study rectifies that deficiency, exploring the extent to which Americans are from Mars and Europeans from Venus by deploying the analytical concept of strategic culture for an unbiased analysis of transatlantic drift.

"Michael J. Williams" is a researcher at the Department of Politics and International Relations at the University of Oxford (UK).

In this book, the authors present current research in the study of the strategies, management and impacts of urban development. Topics included in this compilation include public housing strategies in Ogun State, Nigeria; the major sport events strategy environment in Shanghai, China; strategic environmental assessment of two urban plans in Italy and the United Kingdom; assessing the growth pole phenomenon in Venezuela; geoprocessing technologies in the evaluation of sustainable urban development in Parnamirim, Brazil; and the globalisation and urban development of Harlem in New York City, USA.

What Dr. Williams discovered through his research on the "Law of Attraction" is the real SECRET that almost every other author left out of there books when addressing the "Law of Attraction." The one "KEY" component to making this LAW work in a person's life is this: The "KEY" is the "Subconscious Mind." The Subconscious mind fills multiple roles in activating the "Law of Attraction."

Dr. Michael Williams has been performing research into the area of the "Law of Attraction" for several years now and through his research found the real SECRET behind making the "Law of Attraction" work.

The real SECRET is the "Subconscious mind," and through the subconscious mind our reality comes forth.
