A comprehensive overview of the integrative study of violence
Violence continues to be one of the most urgent global public health problems that contemporary society faces. Suicides and homicides are increasing at an alarming rate, particularly in younger age groups and lower-income countries. Historically, the study of violence has been fragmented across disparate fields of study with little cross-disciplinary collaboration, thus creating a roadblock to decoding the underlying processes that give rise to violence and hindering efforts in research and prevention. Violence: An Interdisciplinary Approach to Causes, Consequences, and Cures assembles and organizes current information into one comprehensive volume, introducing students to the multiple sectors, disciplines, and practices that collectively comprise the study of violence.
This innovative textbook presents a unified perspective that integrates the sociological, biological, politico-economic, structural, and environmental underpinnings of violence. Each chapter examines a distinct point of learning, beginning with an overview of the content and concluding with discussion questions and an analytical summary. The chapters focus on key domains of research encouraging interdisciplinary investigation and helping students to develop critical analytical skills and form their own conclusions.
Fills a significant gap in the field by providing a coherent text that consolidates information on the multiple aspects of violence
Examines current legal, medical, public health, and policy approaches to violence prevention and their application within a global context
Illustrates how similar causes of violence may have dissimilar manifestations
Presents a multidisciplinary examination of the symptoms and underlying processes of violence
Offers a thorough yet accessible learning framework to undergraduate and graduate students without prior knowledge of the study of violence
More than just an accumulation of facts and data, this essential text offers a broad introduction to a thinking process that can produce rigorous scholarship across disciplines and lead to a deeper understanding of violence in its many forms.

Описание:
In the mid-eighteenth century, Swiss-born mathematician Leonhard Euler developed a formula so innovative and complex that it continues to inspire research, discussion, and even the occasional limerick. Dr. Euler's Fabulous Formula shares the fascinating story of this groundbreaking formula--long regarded as the gold standard for mathematical beauty--and shows why it still lies at the heart of complex number theory. In some ways a sequel to Nahin's An Imaginary Tale, this book examines the many applications of complex numbers alongside intriguing stories from the history of mathematics. Dr. Euler's Fabulous Formula is accessible to any reader familiar with calculus and differential equations, and promises to inspire mathematicians for years to come.

Описание: In this unique and imaginative book the "dropout" speaks for himself. His views are compared with those of a high-school graduate having the same IQ and similar social and economic background. We learn how these young people feel about their families, friends, and teachers. We gain insight into many of their basic emotions and attitudes.
Описание: Synthesizes research on student attrition and on actions institutions can and should take to reduce it. The key to effective retention, the author demonstrates, is in a strong commitment to quality education and the building of a strong sense of inclusive educational and social community on campus.
