Scale Development

In the Fourth Edition of Scale Development, Robert F. DeVellis demystifies measurement by emphasizing a logical rather than strictly mathematical understanding of concepts. The text supports readers in comprehending newer approaches to measurement, comparing them to classical approaches, and grasping more clearly the relative merits of each. This edition addresses new topics pertinent to modern measurement approaches and includes additional exercises and topics for class discussion. Available with Perusall—an eBook that makes it easier to prepare for class Perusall is an award-winning eBook platform featuring social annotation tools that allow students and instructors to collaboratively mark up and discuss their SAGE textbook. Backed by research and supported by technological innovations developed at Harvard University, this process of learning through collaborative annotation keeps your students engaged and makes teaching easier and more effective.

This book is a pioneer attempt to bring forward the first synthesis on the most diverse and threatened mountain top vegetation of South America, the rupestrian grasslands. It brings to light the state of the art information on this ecosystem geology, soil formation and distribution, environmental filters that lead to biodiversity, species interactions and their fine tuned adaptations to survive the harsh mountain environment. The human dimensions of the rupestrian grassland are also addressed, including the anthropogenic threats that may irreversibly impact biodiversity and ecosystem services. The book also highlights the ongoing studies on ecological restoration and first attempt to model the impacts of climate change on its speciose biota.

Forçada a exilar-se em 1808, Juliana de Almeida Oeynhausen, a terceira filha da marquesa de Alorna, parecia condenada às agruras da emigração e à tristeza de um casamento infeliz. Contudo, dotada de um espírito vivo e inconformista, conseguiu libertar-se de constrangimentos sociais e familiares, vencer a adversidade e conquistar a sua independência e felicidade. As suas qualidades de mulher ilustrada e cosmopolita, foram conhecidas e apreciadas por grandes figuras da Europa de então com quem teve a oportunidade de privar: a rainha Vitória de Inglaterra, o imperador da Alemanha, e os czares Nicolau i e Alexandre ii da Rússia. A surpreendente e colorida história da sua vida, que uma investigação profunda e exaustiva permitiu trazer agora a público, foi esquecida e deturpada nos alvores do século xx e, desde então, a sua memória tem sido injustamente enxovalhada. Porém, como disse um diplomata português seu contemporâneo «não se pode fazer mais honra do que ela fez sempre ao nome português». Deixou abundantes provas disso mesmo em São Petersburgo, na Rússia, onde viveu os últimos anos da sua vida, como condessa Stroganoff.
