Balanced coverage of the entire life span is just one thing that distinguishes HUMAN DEVELOPMENT: A LIFE-SPAN VIEW, 5TH EDITION. With its comprehensive, succinct, and applied coverage, the text has proven its ability to capture students' interest while introducing them to the issues, forces, and outcomes that make us who we are. Robert V. Kail's expertise in childhood and adolescence, combined with John C. Cavanaugh's extensive research in gerontology, result in a book with a rich description of all life-span stages and important topics. A modified chronological approach traces development in sequential order from conception through late life, while also dedicating several chapters to key topical issues. This organization also allows the book to be relatively briefer than other texts--a benefit given the enormous amount of information covered in the course.

Gavin de Becker is the nation's leading expert on predicting violent behavior. His clients include celebrities, corporations, and political organizations, and he serves as an advisor to the CIA and the U.S. Supreme Court. The Gift of Fear has been translated into 14 languages worldwide. According to Gavin de Becker, the experience of fear can be an urgent intuitive message. Its directions to us-to avoid that stranger, to leave the room, to call for help-can, if heeded, save our lives. Drawing on case histories, academic studies, and personal experience, de Becker shows us how the combination of intuitive knowledge and rational principles can enable us to predict and thereby avoid personal violence. By demystifying the apparently random and unpredictable nature of violence, he shows us that "interpersonal violence is not a condition, but a process which can be detected and derailed." Tom Stechschulte's smooth narration reinforces this course in survival that everyone should take. ...

Our most commonly held formula for success is broken. Conventional wisdom holds that if we work hard we will be more successful, and if we are more successful, then we’ll be happy. If we can just find that great job, win that next promotion, lose those five pounds, happiness will follow. But recent discoveries in the field of positive psychology have shown that this formula is actually backward: Happiness fuels success, not the other way around. When we are positive, our brains become more engaged, creative, motivated, energetic, resilient, and productive at work. This isn’t just an empty mantra. This discovery has been repeatedly borne out by rigorous research in psychology and neuroscience, management studies, and the bottom lines of organizations around the globe. ...

The highly acclaimed bestseller from one of Australia's greatest architects, with an introduction by Christos Tsiolkas. Fifty years on, Robin Boyd's The Australian Ugliness remains the definitive statement on how we live and think in the environments we create for ourselves. In it Boyd railed against Australia's decorative approach to design and slavish imitation of all things American. His concerns are as important now, in an era of sustainability, suburban sprawl and inner-city redevelopment, as they were half a century ago. ...
