Handbook of Research Design and Social Measurement
Delbert C. Miller , and Neil J. Salkind Manufacturer: Sage Publications, Inc ProductGroup: Book Binding: Paperback Similar Items:
ASIN: 0761920463 |
Book Description
"If a student researcher had only one handbook on their bookshelf, Miller and Salkind's Handbook would certainly have to be it. With the updated material, the addition of the section on ethical issues (which is so well done that I'm recommending it to the departmental representative to the university IRB), and a new Part 4 on "Qualitative Methods", the new Handbook is an indispensable resource for researchers."
--Dan Cover, Department of Sociology, Furman University
" I have observed that most instructors want to teach methodology "their way" to imbue the course with their own approach; Miller-Salkind allows one to do this easily. The book is both conceptually strong (e.g., very good coverage of epistemology, research design and statistics) and at the same time provides a wealth of
practical knowledge (scales, indices, professional organizations, computer applications, etc.) In addition, it covers the waterfront of methodology."
--Michael L. Vasu, Director of Information Technology, North Carolina State University
"A unique and excellent reference tool for all social science researchers, and a good textbook for graduate students and senior year undergraduate classes. These students are about to enter the real life of research, and need a handy and comprehensive tool as a starting point that offers shortcuts for getting into real research projects. For a small project, the book offers enough information to get the project started. For big projects, the book is ideal for information on where to look for things and examples."
--Jianhong Liu, Department of Sociology, Rhode Island College
The book considered a "necessity" by many social science researchers and their students has been revised and updated while retaining the features that made it so useful. The emphasis in this new edition is on the tools graduate students and more advanced researchers need to conduct high quality research.
Features/Benefits:
New to this edition:
Plus, there is an extensive and well-organized table of contents with four levels of headings; and, for the first time in the history of the book, a comprehensive index.

The Wobblies: The Story of the IWW and Syndicalism in the United States

Book Description
In this new edition of his classic study of the Industrial Workers of the World, Mr. Renshaw tells the story of how they planned to combine the American working class, and eventually wage earners all over the world, into one big labor union with an industrial basis, a syndicalist philosophy, and a revolutionary aim. A sensible and penetrating examination....Topical even today. --Robert Kirsch, Los Angeles TimesCustomer Reviews:

If you want an even better history, search out "The IWW: it's first 50 years" by Fred Thompson. It is tragically out of print, but is available in many libraries. This an official history of the IWW, but is a acknowledged labor classic for its honesty and even handedness. Its only weakness is its brevity because the IWW was too poor to print a larger volume.

The Pampered Child Syndrome: How to Recognize It, How to Manage It, and How to Avoid It
Maggie Mamen Manufacturer: Creative Bound Inc. ProductGroup: Book Binding: Paperback ASIN: 1894439163 |
Book Description
Teachers recognize them in their classrooms; professionals encounter them in their offices; parents live with them in their homes: CHILDRENThe Pampered Child Syndrome is not something a child has, like the measles. Nor is it something a child is, like "depressed" or "defiant" or "a problem." It is a multifaceted sociological phenomenon, driven and supported by parents who truly believe that they have their children's best interest at heart, and who work hard to ensure that their youngsters are given everything possible to make them feel special. In turn, the Pampered Child Syndrome is fueled by those professionals who recommend child-driven parenting or teaching practices, who provide diagnosis-driven solutions to the problems parents are facing, and whose advice parents hungrily seek and follow. Despite every good intention, the result is an increasing number of children who are not merely influenced by the philosophies with which they are growing up, but who may unwittingly be at risk because of them.
This book provides insight and support for parents, teachers and other professionals who are trying to deal with these pampered children, and who can thus be constructive influences in promoting change by working together as a team. The goal is for parents to take back the power they have given away, and to be confident in raising resilient, empathic, and mentally healthy children who are well-prepared for the world outside the family.

An Ancient Bird-Shaped Weight System from Lan Na and Burma
Donald Gear , and Joan Gear Manufacturer: Silkworm Books ProductGroup: Book Binding: Paperback Similar Items: ASIN: 9747551926 |
Book Description
This book explores in detail the little-known system of ancient bird-shaped weights from Northern Thailand and Burma. The weights are carefully described and analyzed as to their origin anduse, their mass scale and its relation to other mass scales, their composition and production techniques, and their shapes and symbolism.Although historical records fail to mention much about the ancient weights in Southeast Asia, fortunately, records of European traders and of Arab, Persian, and Chinese travelers from previous centuries do exist, and provide an opportunity for comparison. Donald and Joan Gear broaden their study to consider the historical context of the Lan Na weights, comparing them with the weight systems found in surrounding areas. They conclude that from about the 11th century until the mid-16th century, the bird-shaped weights were most likely used by traders along the route through Raheng and Martaban to Pegu.
Of interest to historians, collectors, antiquarians, and scholars of Southeast Asia, this unique volume discloses the curious and intricate world of ancient bird-shaped weights.
