This seventh edition of A History of Psychology: The Emergence of
Science and Applications traces the history of psychology from
antiquity through the early twenty-first century, giving students a
thorough look into psychology’s origins and key developments in
basic and applied psychology. It presents internal, disciplinary
history as well as external contextual history, emphasizing the
interactions between psychological ideas and the larger cultural
and historical contexts in which psychologists and other thinkers
conduct research, teach, and live. It also has a strong scholarly
foundation and more than 400 new references. This new edition
retains and expands the strengths of previous editions and
introduces several important changes. The text features more women,
people of color, and others who are historically marginalized as
well as new sections about early Black psychology and barriers
faced by people who are diverse. It also includes expanded
discussions of eugenics and racism in early psychology. There is
new content on the history of the biological basis of psychology;
the emergence of qualitative methods; and ecopsychology,
ecotherapy, and environmental psychology. Recent historical
findings about social psychology, including new historical findings
about the Stanford Prison Experiment, Milgram’s obedience
research, and Sherif’s conformity studies, have also been
incorporated. Continuing the tradition of past editions, the text
focuses on engaging students and inspiring them to recognize the
power of history in their own lives, to connect history to the
present and the future, and to think critically and historically.
Geographic information system (GIS) computer technology is
revolutionizing the way we interact with information. Data, text,
drawings, maps, and images contain information that can be accessed
and used intuitively through drawings containing graphical
representations of the facilities to which they apply, e.g.,
emission stacks, sampling locations, and sites, to name only a few
examples.
Environmental GIS technology is being applied with increasing
frequency to manage industrial facilities. Environmental GIS
describes the application of this information technology. It
addresses environmental, safety, and health (ES&H) information
management in an integrated manner. The book focuses on dealing
with information from an organizational or corporate standpoint,
meaning that the needs are not specialized to the ES&H area,
but are an inherent part of managing the organization.
Environmental, safety, and health information management needs are
examined in the context of the overall corporate information flow.

This volume examines the analysis that was designed to map the
development of the television family and assess its current state
and, at the same time, to provide insight into the tangled
relationships between fictional and real family life. In order to
do this, the investigation examines the evolution of the American
family, paying special attention to the postwar family, which is
not only used recurrently as a benchmark for assessing the
performance of modern families but also constituted television's
first generation of families. The investigation also traces the
evolution of the popular family in vaudeville, comics, and radio.
However, the primary focus of the examination is the development of
the television family, from families, such as the Nelsons,
Andersons, and Cleavers, to more contemporary families, such as the
Huxtables, Conners, and Taylors.
The unit of analysis for the investigation is the relationship
rather than the individual. Hence, the book deals with the
portrayal of spousal, parent-child, and sibling relationships and
how those portrayals differ across time and across groups defined
by ethnicity, gender, and age. Moreover, the relational analysis is
expansive so that television family relationships are examined in
regard to power and affect, performance, and satisfaction and
stability.
"Television Families" provides a thorough summary and critical
review of extant research, designed to promote informed classroom
discussion. At the same time, it advances a number of hypotheses
and recommendations and, as such, is intended to influence
subsequent theory and research in the area. The book is intended
for senior undergraduate students, graduate students, and
television and family researchers.
Neglected Perspectives on Science and Religion explores historical
and contemporary relations between science and religion, providing
new perspectives on familiar topics such as evolution and the
Galileo affair. The book also explores common differences in
science and religion with respect to their various treatments of
doubt, curiosity, and the methods by which truth claims are
assessed. The book includes discussions of religious and scientific
treatments of the origins of males and females, evolving views of
sex and gender, and contemporary tensions about topics such as
same-sex marriage. Viney and Woody also include a chapter exploring
the effects of social science research on religious topics such as
prayer, prejudice, and violence. The rise of social sciences such
as psychology, sociology, and anthropology has resulted in
discoveries that contribute to new ways of thinking about the
relations of science and religion. This book is ideal for graduate
and upper-level undergraduate students, as well as anyone
interested in science and religion.

Uses techniques from psychological science and legal theory to
explore police interrogation in the United States Understanding
Police Interrogation provides a single comprehensive source for
understanding issues relating to police interrogation and
confession. It sheds light on the range of factors that may
influence the outcome of the interrogation of a suspect, which ones
make it more likely that a person will confess, and which may also
inadvertently lead to false confessions. There is a significant
psychological component to police interrogations, as interrogators
may try to build rapport with the suspect, or trick them into
thinking there is evidence against them that does not exist. Also
important is the extent to which the interrogator is convinced of
the suspect’s guilt, a factor that has clear ramifications for
today’s debates over treatment of black suspects and other people
of color in the criminal justice system. The volume employs a
totality of the circumstances approach, arguing that a number of
integrated factors, such as the characteristics of the suspect, the
characteristics of the interrogators, interrogation techniques and
location, community perceptions of law enforcement, and
expectations for jurors and judges, all contribute to the nature of
interrogations and the outcomes and perceptions of the criminal
justice system. The authors argue that by drawing on this approach
we can better explain the likelihood of interrogation outcomes,
including true and false confessions, and provide both scholars and
practitioners with a greater understanding of best practices going
forward.
