This thoroughly revised and greatly expanded third edition of a classic reference, now three volumes, constitutes an invaluable resource for practitioners who in a managed care era need to focus their testing not on the general goals of personality assessment, symptom identification, and diagnosis so often presented to them as students and trainees, but on specific questions: What course of treatment should this person receive? How is it going? Was it effective?

An economics professor and a federal judge point out that engaging in unprotected sex is a dangerous but pleasurable activity, like downhill skiing and mountain climbing, and that people weigh the risks and benefits when deciding whether or not to do it. The people setting up public health measures to combat the spread of AIDS, they say, are not taking this informed and often rational decision-making into account. Therefore, their predictions are off and their information campaigns are not only in effective, but may well be encouraging the disease's spread. They also look at the cost and benefits of research and education for the society as a whole. The book is bound to be controversial. Annotation copyright by Book News, Inc., Portland, OR
Contemporary Mormonism is the first collection of sociological essays to focus exclusively on Mormons. Featuring the work of the major scholars conducting social science research on Mormons today, this volume offers refreshing new perspectives not only on Mormonism but also on the nature of successful religious movements, secularization and assimilation, church growth, patriarchy and gender roles, and other topics. This first paperback edition includes a new introduction assessing the current state of Mormon scholarship and the effect of the globalization of the LDS Church on scholarly research about Mormonism.
Winner of the Clinton Jackson Coley Award The 1878 City Directory of Montgomery, Alabama, included "A Brief History of Montgomery," consisting of a "narrative" and a series of events arranged by the months.

Contemporary historian Mary Ann Neeley has annotated Blue's history to correct errors and clear up inconsistencies, and added other material on early churches, a genealogy of the colorful Blue family, and a Civil War diary by Blue's sister, Ellen. The book also includes many 19th century photographs.
