The Synergistic Classroom
Among the many challenges confronting the liberal arts today is a fundamental disconnect between the curricula that many institutions offer and the training that many students need. Discipline-specific models of teaching and learning can underprepare students for the kinds of interdisciplinary collaboration that employers now expect. Although aware of these expectations and the need for change, many small colleges and universities have struggled to translate interdisciplinarity into programs and curricula that better serve today’s students. Written by faculty engaged in the design and delivery of interdisciplinary courses, programs, and experiential learning opportunities in the small coll...

How Are Chinese Only Children Growing
Weiping Liu contends that the impacts of learning environments on Chinese only children must be studied from a bioecological systems perspective by considering the direct and joint effects of learning environments and personality within the macro-environments of culture, public policy etc. Samples were chosen randomly from the 1980s and 1990s Chinese only children (N=2105) ranging from junior high, senior high and college students in east, middle and west China. With data analyses such as exploratory factor analysis, hierarchical multiple regression analysis, MANOVA and ANOVA, hypotheses formulated on these research purposes were tested to be true, especially, in terms of desirable learning outcomes. The author also provided practical and theoretical discussions.
Abnormal Child and Adolescent Psychology
Dumas (Purdue U.) and Nilsen (U. of Rochester) present a textbook on abnormal child and adolescent psychology that adopts a perspective that is, in turns, descriptive, developmental, and transactional. Each chapter looks at a particular disorder (or related disorders), exploring diagnostic criteria, examining etiology and developmental progression, and then discussing treatment and prevention issues. Chapters cover mental retardation, autism, childhood-onset schizophrenia, learning disorders, attention deficit/hyperactivity disorder, oppositional defiant disorder and conduct disorder, mood disorders, anxiety disorders, eating disorders, child abuse and neglect, and health-related disorders.

Hidden Hearts
A love story where losing may be the only way to win... With staggering student loans to repay, CC Carlson is determined to please her new employers. The first assignment as a real estate lawyer is easy: deliver an eviction notice and make it clear that it will be enforced.

Love and tragic secrets are part of every inch of her land, and Vivian Battle is prepared to live up to her name, as she always has. Her fiercely loyal tenants will also protect her. That includes the far-too attractive Penn, also a lawyer, who is only too happy to tell CC what she can do with her eviction notice.
Branding Trust
In the early nineteenth century, the American commercial marketplace was a chaotic, unregulated environment in which knock-offs and outright frauds thrived. Appearances could be deceiving, and entrepreneurs often relied on their personal reputations to close deals and make sales. Rapid industrialization and expanding trade routes opened new markets with enormous potential, but how could distant merchants convince potential customers, whom they had never met, that they could be trusted? Through wide-ranging visual and textual evidence, including a robust selection of early advertisements, Branding Trust tells the story of how advertising evolved to meet these challenges, tracing the themes of...
