Culture, Self, and, Motivation
The authors of the chapters in this volume—past and present collaborators of Marty Maehr, and a few of his former graduate students along the years—are motivational researchers who conduct research using diverse methods and perspectives, and in different parts of the world. All, however, see their intellectual roots in Marty’s theoretical and empirical work. The chapters in this book are divided into two sections: Motivation and Self and Culture and Motivation. Clearly, the distinctions between these two sections are very blurry, as they are in Marty’s work. And yet, when the authors were asked to contribute their chapters, the research questions they addressed seemed to have formed two foci, with personal motivation and socio-cultural processes alternating as the core versus the background in the two sections.

Transforming School Cultures
Revised from the 1993 Essentials of Pulping and Papermaking to account for the fact that it was being used as an industry reference as well as a teaching tool. Most of the chapters have been little changed, but new material is added on paper chemistry and optical properties, wood and fiber anatomy,, paper use, and processing equipment. A guide for troubleshooting pumps is also included. The first third serves as a textbook for beginning students, and the rest provides detailed information on specific topics relating to the production and use of paper.

Transitions
Focuses on the "Transitions" that take place at major points of potential discontinuity in students' developmental trajectories and across contexts at a given time point. In this title, development literature has examined how children's motivation and achievement are affected by the shift from pre-school to school.
Decade Ahead
Includes chapters which examine the associations between motivation and other constructs, such as emotion and self-regulation. This title also features chapters that examine sociocultural approaches to the study of motivation, the motivation of African American students and teachers' motivation, and the policy implications of motivation research.
