This is an introductory book on 'Environmental Psychology'.... which features more than a normal person can imagine ..... it is NOT a book related to common sociological issues on global warming, nuclear waste disposal, environmental strikes and demonstration etc...., This book is related to psychology and features on content related to the environment and the behaviour of people.

This book is a necessity for the new football season. I haven't found any other resource that shows so clearly and simply all the new rule changes for both high school and college. And it shows every case where there is a difference between the codes, so if you are ever in doubt, it sia simple matter of flipping a few pages. I would recommend this book to football officials of any level for before and during the season reference.

Year after year, this is the book that gets me prepared for the new football season. It is so easy to read and informative on all the new NFHS and NCAA rule changes for the new season that I share it with my crew to make sure they are as prepared as I am. And for those of you who officiate both codes, it presents every case in which the rules differ, so you will never get mixed up. It is a great resource for officials of every level.

I read this book as a sub-text for my course in human neuropsychology. It made the interpretation of test scores and diagnoses of neurological disorders a lot easier. Besides, I found it very easy to follow. The only problem about this book is that there is quite a bit of redundancies with the contents.

I have read many books on hypermedia and authorware as it forms the basis of my Masters degree in ICT's in Primary Education but I have found none as practical and clearly presented as this. In Ireland, where I am based, Hyperstudio is very popular but simple,clear,practical guides like this one, with a strong emphasis on evaluation and pupil learning are hard to come by. I would strongly recommend this book to any teacher who is genuinely seeking a new and workable approach to integrating authorware using the project method. The copy I read was loaned to me and I am now placing an order for my own copy.

I haven't read such delicious nonsense in much too long. Shaffer takes fresh look at something that you see every day, and slides it sideways into total silliness. It's done with effortless sleight of hand, one little step at a time.

whith an excellent solid scientific base (neuroanatomy, neuroche
mistry, neuropathology, neurophysiology and neuroradiology),this
remarkable book will help all neuropsychiatrist in his clinical
dayly practice.

Provocative essays, never-before-published photographs, Robeson-inspired artwork, and a comprehensive chronology are the pleasures of this first-rate text. Developed as a companion to a multimedia exhibition celebrating Robeson's centennial birthday, _Artist and Citizen_ is a must-read. Curator and editor Jeffrey Stewart has succeeded in providing a careful, comprehensive, sophisticated, yet accessible view of one of the major figures of the 20th century. Essayists include those whom we readily associate with Robeson and his era: Lloyd L. Brown, Martin Duberman, David Levering Lewis, and John Hope Franklin. The reader also learns from those who bring the unique perspectives of their fields such as economist Julianne Malveaux, film scholars Ed Guerrero and Mark A. Reid, legal scholar and social critic Derrick Bell, and photography historian Deborah Willis among others. The essayists explore Robeson's upbringing, athletic exploits, political philosophies and alliances, artistic career, and commitment to social justice with an eye on understanding Robeson's challenges and legacies, his life as a "work of art and politics," and the meaning of this hero and icon. In the introduction, Stewart stakes out his claims for the book. "We see ourselves as heirs to Robeson not in following any particular ideology that he espoused, but in practicing the intellectual integrity he lived...Hence, in this volume is a chorus of diverse voices, not all of whom sing Robeson's praises, but which rather raise the kinds of concerns that he himself voiced during his long and fruitful life." _Paul Robeson: Artist and Citizen_ lives up to Stewart's claims. It is an essential text for anyone interested in Robeson, race and class matters, art and politics, or the remarkable life lived.
