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.

Designed to support students entering the helping professions,
Addiction: A Human Experience fosters greater awareness of those
who develop substance abuse problems and the experience of treating
individuals with addiction issues. The book provides a basic
overview of the addiction process with special emphasis on what the
experience is like for individuals suffering from addiction. The
book examines why people form addictions, the counselor's role in
helping, how addiction affects thinking, the family's role when a
member becomes addicted, the typical recovery process, and harm
reduction and relapse prevention. Numerous case examples serve to
illustrate real-world experiences with addiction and the recovery
process. Other topics covered include twelve-step and other sober
support groups, romantic relationships in early recovery, addiction
as a family disease, process addictions, co-occurring disorders,
and more. The third edition includes new information regarding
addiction to social media and smartphones, modern cognitive
approaches for addiction treatment, and fighting temptation and
increasing word power. Supporting articles and case studies have
been updated and the coverage of harm reduction has been
significantly expanded. Designed to supplement standard psychology
textbooks addressing substance abuse, Addiction: A Human Experience
gives readers a deeper understanding of-and compassion for-those
seeking treatment for addiction.
"Understanding United States Government Growth" develops and
tests alternative explanations of government growth since World War
II. It opens with an analysis of debate about the causes and
consequences of government growth, including the excessive
government view that the public sector has grown beyond the scope
demanded by citizens due to its own structural defects, and the
responsive interpretation that government has gown because it has
reacted appropriately to external public demands. The authors
review the major political and economic explanations for government
growth and criticize earlier empirical attempts to test these
explanations. In the second half of the book, they distinguish four
components of government growth: growth in the cost of government
and growth in the scope of government activities in three
domains--transfer payments, domestic purchases, and defense
purchases. Both responsive and excessive explanations of each of
these components of growth are developed and tested to allow an
evaluation of the validity of the two contrasting views about big
government.
Although nearly all major social science departments offer graduate
students training in quantitative methods, the typical sequencing
of topics generally delays training in regression analysis and
other multivariate techniques until a student's second year.
William Berry and Mitchell Sanders's Understanding Multivariate
Research fills this gap with a concise introduction to regression
analysis and other multivariate techniques. Their book is designed
to give new graduate students a grasp of multivariate analysis
sufficient to understand the basic elements of research relying on
such analysis that they must read prior to their formal training in
quantitative methods. Berry and Sanders effectively cover the
techniques seen most commonly in social science
journals--regression (including nonlinear and interactive models),
logit, probit, and causal models/path analysis. The authors draw on
illustrations from across the social sciences, including political
science, sociology, marketing and higher education. All topics are
developed without relying on the mathematical language of
probability theory and statistical inference. Readers are assumed
to have no background in descriptive or inferential statistics, and
this makes the book highly accessible to students with no prior
graduate course work.
