The Psychology of Health and Health Care
The Psychology of Health and Health Care: A Canadian Perspective, 3Ce is a valuable resource for Canadian students, instructors and practitioners of psychology, nursing, medicine, public health and epidemiology. This all-Canadian text introduces the field of health psychology and explains how psychological concepts can be applied to health care delivery in Canada. A new chapter on the Systems of the Body brings a more biological focus to the text, while real-life examples bring immediacy and increased understanding to students. The chapter on health and the internet has been condensed to become a focused module, suitable for class discussion and assignments. The text is refreshed with a new more pleasing two-colour format, and brought up-to-date with updated research and literature with a focus on the Canadian perspective in healthcare. With new information on the privatization of health care, self-accountability, and an expanded section on the feminization of medicine, this text is more current and focused than ever before on the state of healthcare in Canada.

Face-to-face Dialogue
Janet Beavin Bavelas proposes that face-to-face dialogue is the primary site of language use, with unique features that make it the fastest, most precise, and most skillful activity that ordinary individuals do together. Writing for an inter-disciplinary readership, Bavelas draws on decades of experimental research combined with qualitative measures to illustrate the advantages of focusing on dialogue (rather than on individuals) and of using a multi-modal lens.

Deborah Kerr
Blessed with a natural beauty, Scotland-born actress Deborah Kerr (1921-2007) provided the cinema with memorable studies of English gentility. A star in British pictures before she was 21 and a Hollywood fixture from 1946 on, she projected a cool reserve and stoic nobility, often hinting at passion and insecurity beneath the surface. Frequently portraying selfless, sympathetic women, she was brilliant in such roles as Anna Leonowens in The King and I (1956). And in a fascinating departure from her normal range, her portrayal of the sexually frustrated Army wife in From Here to Eternity (1953) resulted in the screen's most famous "clinch"--the beach scene with Burt Lancaster. Though she never won an Academy Award despite six nominations, Deborah Kerr received an honorary Oscar in 1994.
