Survey Software – What to Look For
The internet is an amazing resource for whatever type of information or business or product you are looking for. For example when your looking for survey software, there are many things to consider and think about. You should consider what type of survey you want, how in depth you want the questions to be and what you hope to accomplish with the results. You can find plenty of great survey software from resources on the internet but you must be sure that they offer the kind of features that you want. When you are looking for survey software and you want it to be used online, there are many different websites that offer various products and features. These features can help make your survey the best it can be for your needs. Many of the internet websites that offer survey software have different features like survey design help, where they can guide you through every step of designing the perfect survey or basic tutorials that teach you how to create a general survey and then change it or add or subtract questions to it. Many of them will also give you advice on what to do with your survey once you have the results. It most cases, your results can be exported to a file and you can do what you want with it. You should look for the survey software that is going to give you the features you want at a price that you can afford. In these tough economic times it seems like there are a lot of businesses that are struggling to survive and you need to save money where ever you can. Looking for survey software can seem like a no brainer because really, how different can any of them be? Well, they can be very different and they can give you different results. Keep in mind that when you are looking for survey software it is helpful to have an idea of the kind of features you need. A good way to find survey software that is going to work for you is to ask around. Asking people such as friends and colleagues that are in business and have previously used survey software themselves might give some helpful uggestions as for where to go to find great software. If that fails, you can always do your own research to find what you are looking for. No matter where you find the software you want, it can help your business in many ways. Survey software is a great tool that can bring you information and knowledge.

”Voice of the city:” The rise and fall of WNYC-TV. $49.99 A survey of existing histories of broadcasting will lead the reader to the conclusion that there have been only two viable and long-lasting forms of television broadcasting in the United States: advertiser-supported commercial broadcasting and “public broadcasting” (PBS) as created by the 1967 Public Broadcasting Act. However, from 1962 until 1996, there was a third, unique form of broadcasting which existed only in New York City and operated noncommercially with a commercial license granted to the City of New York by the FCC. This was WNYC-TV, UHF Channel 31, a municipal broadcaster.;This dissertation defines municipal television broadcasting through a historical examination of the creation and operation of WNYC-TV. Drawing upon the archival record of the station itself, this study examines the role this station played in the creation and management of a shared public sphere in America’s largest and arguably most diverse metropolis; the competing interests that sought to alternately divest and keep the stations under City ownership; the changing perceptions and purposes of noncommercial and Public Broadcasting; and the shifts in policies, broadcasting and cablecasting technologies and industries that led to its eventual sale to ITT/Dow Jones in 1996 when then Mayor Rudy Giuliani decided that “the City” should “not be in broadcasting.” It interrogates the programming strategies and programming created and acquired by the station as well as the political forces that affected the practice of municipal broadcasting and the broadcasters/civil servants who led the station and sought to operate the municipally owned station in the “public interest, convenience and necessity” and avoid political influence or even the appearance thereof. Ultimately, the study considers how WNYC epitomized localism in a sea of network affiliates and later PBS member stations and offered a unique example of the way in which localism could have been practiced in U.S. broadcasting history |

A Beginner’s Guide to Discrete Mathematics $60.63 This introduction to discrete mathematics is aimed primarily at undergraduates in mathematics and computer science at the freshmen and sophomore levels. The text has a distinctly applied orientation and begins with a survey of number systems and elementary set theory. Included are discussions of scientific notation and the representation of numbers in computers. Lists are presented as an example of data structures. An introduction to counting includes the Binomial Theorem and mathematical induction, which serves as a starting point for a brief study of recursion. The basics of probability theory are then covered.Graph study is discussed, including Euler and Hamilton cycles and trees. This is a vehicle for some easy proofs, as well as serving as another example of a data structure. Matrices and vectors are then defined. The book concludes with an introduction to cryptography, including the RSA cryptosystem, together with the necessary elementary number theory, e.g., Euclidean algorithm, Fermat’s Little Theorem. Good examples occur throughout. At the end of every section there are two problem sets of equal difficulty. However, solutions are only given to the first set. References and index conclude the work. A math course at the college level is required to handle this text. College algebra would be the most helpful. |

A Guide To The Literature On Semirings And Their Applications In Mathematics And Information Sciences $99.25 This book presents a guide to the extensive literature on the topic of semirings and includes a complete bibliography. It serves as a complement to the existing monographs and a point of reference to researchers and students on this topic. The literature on semirings has evolved over many years, in a variety of languages, by authors representing different schools of mathematics and working in various related fields. Recently, semiring theory has experienced rapid development, although publications are widely scattered. This survey also covers those newly emerged areas of semiring applications that have not received sufficient treatment in widely accessible monographs, as well as many lesser-known or ‘forgotten’ works. The author has been collecting the bibliographic data for this book since 1985. Over the years, it has proved very useful for specialists. For example, J.S. Golan wrote he owed ‘… a special debt to Kazimierz Glazek, whose bibliography proved to be an invaluable guide to the bewildering maze of literature on semirings’. U. Hebisch and H.J. Weinert also mentioned his collection of literature had been of great assistance to them. Now updated to include publications up to the beginning of 2002, this work is available to a wide readership. Audience: This volume is the first single reference that can guide the interested scholar or student to the relevant publications in semirings, semifields, algebraic theory of languages and automata, positive matrices and other generalisations, and ordered semigroups and groups. |

A Handbook Of Poetics For Students Of English Verse (1886) $21.33 Purchase of this book includes free trial access to www.million-books.com where you can read more than a million books for free.This is an OCR edition with typos.Excerpt from book:CHAPTER III.— DRAMATIC POETRY. The Epic deals with the past, the Lyric with the present. The Drama unites the two conditions, and gives us the past in the present. Events are the epic basis ; but they unroll themselves before our eyes. We have the epic objectivity — i.e., the sinking of the author’s own thought and feeling in the work itself — in the lifelike course of events; we have lyric fire in the different characters. What lyric can match, for example, Hamlet’s beautiful tribute to friendship (Ham. m. 2] ; what love-songs compare with the passion of the exquisite little Tagelied, in Romeo and Juliet [in. 5] where the lovers part at daybreak ? What reflective lyric strikes a deeper note than Hamlet’s famous soliloquy on death ? — A drama, then, may be called an epic whole made up of lyric parts. Aristotle’s definition is imitated action; which is about the same thing. The lyric element in the drama makes it more rapid, more tumultuous than the epic, which, at its best, holds an even and stately pace. § I. BEGINNINGS OF THE DRAMA. The drama is no exception to the rule concerning the origin of poetry; it begins in religious rites. We shall here confine ourselves to the modern drama, particularly the English, and trace its beginnings and development up to the time of Shakspere. [For a wider survey of the drama in general, see Ward's article "Drama" in the Encyclopedia Britannica; for theEnglish, see the same author's English Dramatic Literature The Greek drama began in the Dionysian feasts; our modern drama in the rites of the early Christian church. These were elaborate and impressive. By certain ceremonies — such as the Mass — effort was made to change the past history of the church into a present fact. The epic part, as Ward points |

A Literary Guide to the Bible; A Study of the Types of Literature Present in the Old and New Testaments $19.99 Purchase of this book includes free trial access to www.million-books.com where you can read more than a million books for free.This is an OCR edition with typos.Excerpt from book:Chapter IV HISTORY SECTION i: THE CHARACTER OF HISTORICAL WRITING Two points should be noted at the outset in the discussion of history as a type of literature in the Bible. This is the day when the historical method of study of the Biblical text is recognized as fundamental by all real scholars. No longer is it considered reasonable to make up a system of theology by wrenching texts away from their historical setting and putting them together like pieces in a puzzle; all texts to be understood rightly must be considered in their context against the background of the age in which they were written. This of course has resulted in some revisions of ideas concerning the meaning of certain passages. To the naturally conservative this change has sometimes seemed to indicate destruction, whereas really the historical method has meant a nearer approach to the original meaning, and advancement in our understanding of the messages of the Bible. To know, for example, that the second part of the book of Isaiah was written more than a hundred years later than the first part, by an entirely different man, under entirely different circumstances, does not detract in the least from the divine inspiration which gripped and held both men and made them see visions and draw pictures of the future quite unparalleled; and it does help us very materially in understanding, for instance, the references to Cyrus and the significance of the wonderful imagery of "the Suffering Servant." But the point is that such historical study of the Bible which to-day is recognized as fundamental in all scholarly approach, does not mean that the books are books of history. As we shall see before we have finished this survey of the literature of the Bible, a great proportion ofthem are poetry and must be |

A Survey Of The Woman Problem $19.99 Purchase of this book includes free trial access to www.million-books.com where you can read more than a million books for free.This is an OCR edition with typos.Excerpt from book:MOTHERHOOD AND CULTURE It will always be a clumsy proceeding to apply the method of averages to an individual in order to trace out the lines of his development or to decide a priori the limitations of his nature. But having conceded that the majority-type of the female sex differs in nature from that of the male, one must set forth the consequences of this phenomenon. In doing so, generalisations drawn from the average are unavoidable; but be it premised that every generalisation is to be received with caution, because the scope of its application is only in breadth, not in depth. The more general an assertion is, the more general must be its application. For example : it may be said that woman is the child-bearing part of mankind; but when one proceeds to the formula, " the vocation of woman is to become a mother," one oversteps the bounds of the generalisation, in that a new idea—that of vocation—is introduced, from which individual constituents cannot be eliminated. With this reservation, then, we concede that the female majority-type is not the equal of the male either in intellect or in strength of will. As to the causes of this, opinions are strongly opposed. They are sought on the one hand in environment, in education, and in the consequences of a subjection which has lasted for thousands of years; on the other hand,in the predestined nature and calling of woman and the limitations appertaining to motherhood. These limitations are innate, according to this view; they are involved by the burden of motherhood; but according to the opposite theory man, not Nature, is responsible for making motherhood into a drag-chain interfering with the spiritual and intellectual development of the female sex. The influence of environment and education and of the |

A Survey of 20th-Century Revival Movements in North America $120.44 The twentieth century has witnessed periodic revivals comparable to the awakenings of the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries. And yet, many of the places and players of these reawakenings have been overlooked or neglected by the chroniclers of North American church history. A Survey of 20th-Century Revival Movements in North America attempts to set the record straight. It offers a concise and useful survey of the major currents of revival that have swept over this continent since the turn of the century. As the final decade of this century approaches it is appropriate that historian Richard Riss chart the course of twentieth-century revival on this continent and record the people, places, and events that have shaped the modern American church.Names like William J. Seymour or Maria B. Woodworth-Etter; places like Azusa Street or North Battleford, Saskatchewan; and events like the forest Home Briefing Conference or the Latter Rain Revival might not be as familiar as Billy Graham, Oral Roberts, or the Jesus movement, but each has played a significant role in keeping the streams of revival flowing.The impact of these often lesser-known figures and events is tremendous. For example, William J. Seymour was a key figure in early Pentecostalism, which has become one of the most rapidly growing segments of modern Christianity. Also, college awakenings at Bethel College in St. Paul, Minnesota, Northern Baptist Theological Seminary, North Park College, and Wheaton College in late 1949 and early 1950 received nationwide press coverage and sparked college revivals throughout the country. A decade later, in 1960, Dennis Bennett's experience of the Holy Spirit in Van Nuys, California, wouldmark the beginning of a tremendous outpouring of the Spirit, and for many, came to represent the start of the charismatic renewal movement. |

A Survey of Preconditioned Iterative Methods (Research Notes in Mathematics Series #328) $149.95 The problem of solving large, sparse, linear systems of algebraic equations is vital in scientific computing, even for applications originating from quite different fields. A Survey of Preconditioned Iterative Methods presents an up to date overview of iterative methods for numerical solution of such systems. Typically, the methods considered are well suited for the kind of systems arising from the discretization of partial differential equations. The focus of this presentation is on the family of Krylov subspace solvers, of which the Conjugate Gradient algorithm is a typical example. In addition to an introduction to the basic principles of such methods, a large number of specific algorithms for symmetric and nonsymmetric problems are discussed.When solving linear systems by iteration, a preconditioner is usually introduced in order to speed up convergence. In many cases, the selection of a proper preconditioner is crucial to the resulting computational performance. For this reason, this book pays special attention to different preconditioning strategies.Although aimed at a wide audience, the presentation assumes that the reader has basic knowledge of linear algebra, and to some extent, of partial differential equations. The comprehensive bibliography in this survey is provides an entry point to the enormous amount of published research in the field of iterative methods. |

A dynamic demand for medical care. $49.99 I develop a theoretical model to explain observed patterns of medical care demand and test the hypothesis that demand is greater the greater the decline in health at any level of health. Medical care demand is highly skewed: the top 5% of individuals consume nearly 50% of expenditures, and nearly half of lifetime expenditures occur after age 65. Extant economic models don't explain this behavior. For example, Murphy & Topel (2006) suggest the willingness to pay for health decreases with age and illness. Grossman (1972) concludes that we demand less health over time, and maintained assumptions about health transition make observed spikes in medical spending unlikely. Tomas Philipson (2007 iHEA plenary) suggested either consumers act irrationally or economists have not adequately modeled behavior. I explore the latter explanation.;I specify an optimal control model that extends the seminal Grossman (1972) model in three ways. I include the change in health in utility; I model depreciation as an amount rather than a rate; and I allow the health state to increase health production. Contrary to the Grossman model, the resulting demand for health suggests an inevitable disequilibrium as health declines between increasing benefits and declining costs of health capital that individuals can only balance by increasing medical care. The time path for medical care demand suggests the change in health rather than the state of health drives increasing demand and that price sensitivity declines over time.;I test the central hypothesis that the change in health is significant using the first 14 waves of the British Household Panel Survey (BHPS). I specify a non-linear seemingly unrelated system of demands for consumption and medical care and impose symmetry restrictions on the cross-price parameters so that inferences are consistent with utility maximization theory. I identify instruments for unobservable health and price using a multiple correspondence analysis. I find support |

A multidisciplinary approach for determining the extents of the beds of complex natural lakes in Louisiana. $69 In Louisiana, the beds of natural lakes are owned by the state. The locations of property boundary lines separating state property from private lands have usually been set by determining the levels of natural monuments known as ordinary high water marks. The term is confusing and subjective, leading to controversy in reference to its determination. Catahoula Lake in central Louisiana was chosen as a study site because of its large size, its 20-foot variation in water levels, and its low-relief perimeter. Geology, geomorphology, hydrology, archaeology, vegetation, dendrochronology and dendrohydrology of the ancient cypress fringe, nineteenth century land survey records, historical records, and time-series statistics were applied to determine the elevation range of ordinary high water. Research suggests that the level of the ordinary high water natural monument used universally in Louisiana to define lake boundaries is not the correct natural monument. This research suggests that, for example, the natural monument that defines the Catahoula Lake boundary is not a vertical monument, but rather an areal monument that was originally recognized by nineteenth century U.S. government surveyors and embedded in the evidence extracted from their original field notes. The solution coincides with the boundaries of regional land patents and offers a consistent solution to determining the boundaries of thousands of acres of disputed lands. The procedure is applicable to other lake and swamp boundaries in Louisiana and other states.;Key words.

ALL I SURVEY: A BOOK OF ESSAYS $0.99 Gilbert Keith Chesterton (29 May 1874 – 14 June 1936) was an English writer. His prolific and diverse output included philosophy, ontology, poetry, play writing, journalism, public lecturing and debating, biography, Christian apologetics, fantasy and detective fiction.Chesterton has been called the "prince of paradox". Time magazine, in a review of a biography of Chesterton, observed of his writing style: "Whenever possible Chesterton made his points with popular sayings, proverbs, allegories—first carefully turning them inside out." For example, Chesterton wrote the following:Thieves respect property. They merely wish the property to become their property that they may more perfectly respect it.Chesterton is well known for his reasoned apologetics and even some of those who disagree with him have recognized the universal appeal of such works as Orthodoxy and The Everlasting Man. Chesterton, as a political thinker, cast aspersions on both liberalism and conservatism, saying:The whole modern world has divided itself into Conservatives and Progressives. The business of Progressives is to go on making mistakes. The business of the Conservatives is to prevent the mistakes from being corrected.Chesterton routinely referred to himself as an "orthodox" Christian, and came to identify such a position with Catholicism more and more, eventually converting to Roman Catholicism from Anglicanism. George Bernard Shaw, Chesterton's "friendly enemy" according to Time, said of him, "He was a man of colossal genius". |

Advanced Distance Sampling: Estimating abundance of biological populations $60 This advanced text focuses on the uses of distance sampling to estimate the density and abundance of biological populations. It addresses new methodologies, new technologies and recent developments in statistical theory and is the follow up companion to Introduction to Distance Sampling (OUP, 2001). In this text, a general theoretical basis is established for methods of estimating animal abundance from sightings surveys, and a wide range of approaches to analysis of sightings data is explored. These approaches include: modelling animal detectability as a function of covariates, where the effects of habitat, observer, weather, etc. on detectability can be assessed; estimating animal density as a function of location, allowing for example animal density to be related to habitat and other locational covariates; estimating change over time in populations, a necessary aspect of any monitoring program; estimation when detection of animals on the line or at the point is uncertain, as often occurs for marine populations, or when the survey region has dense cover; survey design and automated design algorithms, allowing rapid generation of sound survey designs using geographic information systems; adaptive distance sampling methods, which concentrate survey effort in areas of high animal density; passive distance sampling methods, which extend the application of distance sampling to species that cannot be readily detected in sightings surveys, but can be trapped; and testing of methods by simulation, so that performance of the approach in varying circumstances can be assessed. |

Advertising to the American Woman: 1900-1999 $38.67 Whether they're students of advertising history or just reminiscing, readers will be entertained by Advertising to the American Woman. This is a lavishly illustrated survey of how the mass production of consumer goods, the development of the advertising industry, and the evolution of women's roles in society inextricably progressed through the twentieth century. The author focuses on the marketing perspective of the topic rather than on the consumer's point of view. Inevitably, a number of cultural themes run throughout the work, illustrating in an innovative way how women's roles in society have shifted during the past hundred years. Among the key issues explored is a peculiar dichotomy of American advertising that served as a conservative reflection of society and yet, at the same time, became an underlying force of progressive social change. For example, this study shows how advertisers of housekeeping products perpetuated the Happy Homemaker stereotype while tobacco and cosmetics marketers dismantled women's stereotypes to create an entirely new type of consumer. This is an ideal book for the student of women and/or advertising and will appeal to a large audience, including those interested in advertising, mass communication, women's studies, American history, and fashion design. |

Affirmative Advocacy $26.39 The United States boasts scores of organizations that offer crucial representation for groups that are marginalized in national politics, from women to racial minorities to the poor. Here, in the first systematic study of these organizations, Dara Z. Strolovitch explores the challenges and opportunities they face in the new millennium, as waning legal discrimination coincides with increasing political and economic inequalities within the populations they represent. Drawing on rich new data from a survey of 286 organizations and interviews with forty officials, Strolovitch finds that groups too often prioritize the interests of their most advantaged members: male rather than female racial minorities, for example, or affluent rather than poor women. But Strolovitch also finds that many organizations try to remedy this inequity, and she concludes by distilling their best practices into a set of principles that she calls affirmative advocacy--a form of representation that aims to overcome the entrenched but often subtle biases against people at the intersection of more than one marginalized group. Intelligently combining political theory with sophisticated empirical methods, Affirmative Advocacy will be required reading for students and scholars of American politics. |

American Presidency: A Very Short Introduction $8.95 The expansion of executive powers amid the war on terrorism has brought the presidency to the center of heated public debate. Now, in The American Presidency, presidential authority Charles O. Jones provides invaluable background to the current controversy, in a compact, reliable guide to the office of the chief executive. This marvelously concise survey is packed with information about the presidency, some of it quite surprising. We learn, for example, that the Founders adopted the word "president" over "governor" and other alternatives because it suggested a light hand, as in one who presides, rather than rules. Indeed, the Constitutional Convention first agreed to a weak chief executive elected by congress for one seven-year term, later calling for independent election and separation of powers. Jones sheds much light on how assertive leaders, such as Andrew Jackson, Theodore Roosevelt, and FDR enhanced the power of the presidency, and illuminating how such factors as philosophy (Reagan's anti-Communist conservatism), the legacy of previous presidencies (Jimmy Carter following Watergate), relations with Congress, and the impact of outside events have all influenced presidential authority. He also explores the rise of federal power and the dramatic expansion of federal agencies, showing how the president takes a direct hand in this vast bureaucracy, and he examines the political process of selecting presidents, from the days of deadlocked conventions to the rise of the primary after World War II. "In 200 years," he writes, "the presidency had changed from that of a person—Washington followed by Adams, then Jefferson—to a presidential enterprise with a cast of thousands." Jones explains how this remarkable expansion has occurred and where it may lead in the future.About the Series: Combining authority with wit, accessibility, and style, Very Short Introductions offer an introduction to some of |

An examination of teacher qualifications and student achievement in mathematics. $49.99 Many researchers have suggested that teacher quality and student achievement, especially in mathematics, are two significant challenges for schools. For example, educational researchers (Ballou & Podgursky, 2000b; Darling-Hammond, 2000; Goldhaber & Brewer, 2000; Monk, 1994; Wenglinsky, 2000a; Wilson, Floden, & Ferrini-Mundy, 2001) have conducted various studies to determine teacher qualifications that impact student achievement. In order to enhance mathematics achievement, it is important for educators in Alabama and across the United States to understand the relationship between teacher qualifications and student achievement in mathematics. The purpose of this study was to assess whether or not there is a statistically significant difference in teacher qualifications that might help to predict the academic performance of middle school students on the mathematics portion of the Alabama Reading and Math Test (ARMT). Using a theoretical framework which suggests that teacher qualifications impact or have a relationship to student achievement in mathematics, this study examined the relationship between the factors of teacher preparation, certification, and teaching experience with the mathematics achievement of their students. Measures of teacher qualifications included four independent variables: (a) the number of mathematics semester hours completed, (b) type of teacher certification, (c) the teacher’s total number of years teaching mathematics, and (d) the teacher’s total number of years teaching middle school mathematics. Twenty full-time mathematics teachers from 7 of the 8 traditional (non-magnet) middle/junior high schools located in the Montgomery Public School (MPS) District, Montgomery, Alabama participated in this causal-comparative study. All participants completed a Teacher Background Survey. The survey results were later matched with student data from the 2007 administration of the Alabama Reading and Math Test (ARMT). The responses to the teacher surveys |

Analytic Philosophy $110.66 This substantial anthology comprises the most comprehensive and authoritative collection of readings in analytic philosophy of the twentieth century. It provides a survey and analysis of the key issues, figures and concepts. The volume is divided into seven sections: philosophy of language, metaphysics, epistemology, philosophy of mind, free will and personal identity, ethics, and methodology. It includes the most familiar texts of the analytic tradition, as well as several others that are less often anthologized. Several articles are logically related to each other. For example, Moore’s Four Forms of Skepticism, appears together with selections from Wittgenstein’s On Certainty; Langford’s discussion of the paradox of analysis and Moore’s reply are both included; and Quine’s Two Dogmas of Empiricism is paired with Grice and Strawson’s In Defense of a Dogma. The distinctive selections and internal coherence make this anthology an invaluable guide for anyone interested in twentieth-century and analytic philosophy. |

Angels: A History $19.95 The Book of Genesis depicts them as doing strange things–mating with the daughters of men to spawn giants, for example, and wrestling with Jacob for no apparent reason. In It’s a Wonderful Life, Frank Capra spun a tale of one as a bumbling helper of humans; in Wings of Desire, Wim Wenders told of one who wished to be human. They are angels, of course, and they have fascinated us since recorded history began.In Angels, David Albert Jones provides a crisp, broad-ranging survey of angels in theology, philosophy, and popular culture. Focusing on Judaism, Christianity, and Islam, he examines how angels have been imagined and explained, and why they continue to captivate us. Jones explores the classical discussion–what they are made of, when they came to be, how many there are, and whether anyone ever did ask how many could dance on the head of a pin. He names the archangels, surveys the different hierarchies, and examines how they have changed over time. Jones explains, for example, how cherubim became cherubs, and why angels in the Hebrew Bible are typically male, but in later art became androgynous, or even female by the twentieth century. The book explores the idea that Satan was a fallen angel (a belief not shared by Islam), and looks at demons and exorcism. But Jones concentrates on good angels, in their roles as messengers, guardians, or helpers. He looks at why the idea of angels remains so attractive, and so potent in modern culture–even among nonbelievers.From scripture to cinema, Jones offers a sweeping, accessible introduction to this remarkable phenomenon. Whether we believe in angels or not, he argues, the study of their role in cultures past and present can teach us much about humanity. |

Annual Reports in Combinatorial Chemistry & Molecular Diversity 2 $10 Combinatorial chemistry and molecular diversity approaches to scientific and novel product R & D have exploded in the 1990s. For example, in the preparation of drug candidates, the automated, permutational, and combinatorial use of chemical building blocks now allows the generation and screening of unprecedented numbers of compounds. Drug discovery – better, faster, cheaper? Indeed more compounds have been made and screened in the 1990s than in the last hundred years of pharmaceutical research. The second volume in this series includes contributions on methods, solid phases, purification, analysis, carbohydrates, patent strategies and tactics, diversity profiling and combinatorial series design, and finishes with a survey of chemical libraries yielding biologically active agents and a compendium of solid phase chemistry publications. Each contribution is prepared by a recognized expert resulting in a high quality account of the recent advances in the field. |

Assessing Quality of Life and Living Conditions to Guide National Policy: The State of the Art $229 Our book is a useful “how to” book for researchers and government offices wanting to start or improve their own QOL survey, and contains “best practices” from all over the world. We discuss cutting-edge surveys that are being adopted by all countries in the European community as a standardized measure of each country’s progress. We also discuss how developing countries can begin the measurement of Quality of Life in ways that will increase political credibility and require smaller budgets. Other chapters describe policy applications of the Quality of Life surveys, including nations’ health goals, smoking cessation, child welfare, and poverty reduction.The authors of these chapters are the world’s top experts on assessing Quality of Life. For example, the author of the first chapter is Sten Johansson, former Director of Statistics Sweden, responsible for creating the first comprehensive QOL assessment systems in the world, beginning in the 1960′s. The author of the second chapter is Professor Ruut Veenhoven, known as the premier researcher on national happiness, having developed the largest database in the world on the subjective measures of well-being. Heinz-Herbert Noll is responsible for developing the unified Quality of Life measurement system for the new European Union, where up to 25 countries will be assessed using the same methodology and questionnaires.

Attar and the Persian Sufi Tradition: The Art of Spiritual Flight $79 Farid al-Din ‘Attar (d. 1221) was the principal Muslim religious poet of the second half of the twelfth century. Best known for his masterpiece Mantiq al-tayr, or The Conference of Birds, his verse is still considered to be the finest example of Sufi love poetry in the Persian language after that of Rumi. This volume is the most comprehensive survey of ‘Attar’s literary works to date, and situates his poetry and prose within the wider context of the Persian Sufi tradition. Sixteen scholars from North America, Europe and Iran illustrate, from a variety of critical perspectives, the full range of ‘Attar’s monumental achievement. They show why and how ‘Attar’s poetical work, as well as his mystical doctrines, wielded such influence over the whole of Persian Sufism. They also shed light on why the epics and lyrics which declare his radical theology of love are still known by heart and sung by minstrels throughout Iran, Afghanistan, Tajikistan, and wherever Persian is spoken or understood. |

Beyond the Basilica: Christians and Muslims in Nazareth $82.77 Nazareth, the largest Arab city in Israel, is a surprising example of ethnic harmony in a region dominated by conflict. A recent trend toward integration of its historical Greek Orthodox, Roman Catholic, and Muslim quarters however, has disrupted the harmony. In Beyond the Basilica: Christians and Muslims in Nazareth, Chad F. Emmett provides penetrating analysis of the complex relationship between the structure of Nazareth’s quarters and the relations between its ethnic communities. Emmett describes both the positive and negative effects of Nazareth’s residential patterns. He shows that the addition of new and ethnically mixed quarters has promoted mixed schools, joint holiday celebrations, a common political culture, and social networks that cross ethnic boundaries. But he also finds that tensions exist among Christian groups and between Muslims and Christians in regard to intersectarian marriages, religious conversion, attempts to establish a joint Christian cemetery, and the emergence of a local Islamic party. Extensive interviews with leaders of religious groups, political parties, and residents reveal the way in which members of each ethnic community perceive one another. A survey of 300 families gives a wealth of details about the make-up of Nazareth’s population, including residential histories, religion, level of religious conviction, friendship and shopping patterns, and much more. Fourteen maps trace changes in the distribution of religious groups and political affiliation in Nazareth from the mid-nineteenth century to the present. Beyond the Basilica will interest cultural geographers, historians, demographers, political scientists, and anyone who would like tolearn more about an ethnically divided community in the residents cooperate more than they fight. |

Bible: Faith and Evidence – A Critical Enquiry into the Nature of Biblical History $17.3 New – Biblical writings grew out of faith, reflect faith and aim to support faith. But how much faith should a historian have in the evidence of the traditions contained in the Bible? This survey of 200 years of biblical criticism shows that the biblical writers were not concerned with history of natural phenomena for their own sake, but with the community of Israel or with the church of Christ. The New Testament Gospels, for example, are not simply biographies, but were written, as the Fourth G |

Biology and Ideology from Descartes to Dawkins $36.48 Over the course of human history, the sciences, and biology in particular, have often been manipulated to cause immense human suffering. For example, biology has been used to justify eugenic programs, forced sterilization, human experimentation, and death camps—all in an attempt to support notions of racial superiority. By investigating the past, the contributors to Biology and Ideology from Descartes to Dawkins hope to better prepare us to discern ideological abuse of science when it occurs in the future.   Denis R. Alexander and Ronald L. Numbers bring together fourteen experts to examine the varied ways science has been used and abused for nonscientific purposes from the fifteenth century to the present day. Featuring an essay on eugenics from Edward J. Larson and an examination of the progress of evolution by Michael J. Ruse, Biology and Ideology examines uses both benign and sinister, ultimately reminding us that ideological extrapolation continues today. An accessible survey, this collection will enlighten historians of science, their students, practicing scientists, and anyone interested in the relationship between science and culture. |

Brazos Introduction to Christian Spirituality $39.99 "Here is a rich quilt work of biblical, theological, and philosophical reflection on the rich dynamics of the with-God life. Howard’s book arguably is the most comprehensive treatment of spirituality from an evangelical perspective in the English language."–Bruce Demarest, Denver SeminaryFrom the IntroductionI tend to be a "big picture" kind of guy. My students tell me that they get the most out of my teaching when I show how a number of different things fit together. And while I constantly face the dangers of a distorting totalization, I find that my preoccupation with big pictures often helps students see things in a new light. I hope to accomplish something of the same in this text. So, in order to make this book illuminating, I have incorporated a couple of elements characteristic of my own study and teaching of Christian spirituality.First, this text draws from a variety of different resources. . . . The study of Christian spirituality–as an exploration of the relationship between God and human persons–necessarily involves both theological categories (requiring biblical, dogmatic, and historical study) and categories from the human sciences (requiring psychological and sociological study). Furthermore, the exploration of Christian spirituality involves both formal academic research and informal personal experience. Prayer, for example, has been explored not only by the saints and mystics of history, but also by medical researchers, cognitive psychologists, anthropologists, and philosophers of religion, as well as by people like you and me. What insights might these diverse resources bring to our understanding of Christian prayer? My aim is not to provide a comprehensive coverage of any single discipline . . . but rather to point to the key questions, figures, and ideas that shed light on the general survey of Christian spirituality and to illustrate how an interdisciplinary approach to Christian spirituality might |
