Basic Statistics for Social Workers covers descriptive and
inferential statistics at an introductory level. Using examples
from social work, the text covers single-subject analysis, as well
as multiple regression. The mathematics is presented in a simple
user-friendly manner.
Basic Statistics for Social Workers, now in a revised edition, was
developed by Schneider after teaching statistics to undergraduate
and graduate social work students for over ten years. The
statistical concepts that are necessary for students to know are
covered, ranging from simple descriptive statistics such as
crosstabs and tabular data up to a limited discussion of multiple
regression. The text is written simply for students who may not
have a strong quantitative background. The text is simple enough
that with the practice problems and perhaps a little consultation a
motivated student could self-teach the content.
Charts the long history of resentment, from its emergence to its
establishment as the word of the moment. The term "resentment,"
often casually paired with words like "hatred," "rage," and "fear,"
has dominated US news analysis since November 2016. Despite its
increased use, this word seems to defy easy categorization. Does
"resentment" describe many interlocking sentiments, or is it just
another way of saying "anger"? Does it suggest an irrational
grievance, as opposed to a legitimate callout of injustice? Does it
imply political leanings, or is it nonpartisan by nature? In The
Return of Resentment, Robert A. Schneider explores these questions
and more, moving from eighteenth-century Britain to the aftermath
of the French Revolution to social movements throughout the
twentieth century. Drawing on a wide range of writers, thinkers,
and historical experiences, Schneider illustrates how resentment
has morphed across time, coming to express a collective sentiment
felt by people and movements across the political spectrum. In this
history, we discover resentment's modernity and its ambiguity-how
it can be used to dismiss legitimate critique and explain away
violence, but also convey a moral stance that demands recognition.
Schneider anatomizes the many ways resentment has been used to
label present-day movements, from followers of Trump and supporters
of Brexit to radical Islamicists and proponents of identity
politics. Addressing our contemporary political situation in a
novel way, The Return of Resentment challenges us to think
critically about the roles different emotions play in politics.
