Sociality
The notion of 'sociality' is now widely used within the social sciences and humanities. However, what is meant by the term varies radically, and the contributors here, through compelling and wide ranging essays, identify the strengths and weaknesses of current definitions and their deployment in the social sciences. By developing their own rigorous and innovative theory of human sociality, they re-set the framework of the debate and open up new possibilities for conceptualizing other forms of sociality, such as that of animals or materials. Cases from Asia, Africa, the Americas and Europe explore the new directions of human sociality, illuminating how and why it is transformed when human beings engage with such major issues as economic downturn, climate change, new regimes of occupational and psychological therapy, technological innovations in robotics and the creation of new online, 'virtual' environments. This book is an invaluable resource, not only for research and teaching, but for anyone interested in the question of what makes us social.
The Social Life of Achievement
What happens when people “achieve”? Why do reactions to “achievement” vary so profoundly? And how might an anthropological study of achievement and its consequences allow us to develop a more nuanced model of the motivated agency that operates in the social world? These questions lie at the heart of this volume. Drawing on research from Southeast Asia, Europe, the United States, and Latin America, this collection develops an innovative framework for explaining achievement’s multiple effects—one which brings together cutting-edge theoretical insights into politics, psychology, ethics, materiality, aurality, embodiment, affect and narrative. In doing so, the volume advances a new agenda for the study of achievement within anthropology, emphasizing the significance of achievement as a moment of cultural invention, and the complexity of “the achiever” as a subject position.
The Chemistry of Molecular Imaging
Molecular imaging is primarily about the chemistry of novel biological probes, yet the vast majority of practitioners are not chemists or biochemists. This is the first book, written from a chemist's point of view, to address the nature of the chemical interaction between probe and environment to help elucidate biochemical detail instead of bulk anatomy. Covers all of the fundamentals of modern imaging methodologies, including their techniques and application within medicine and industry Focuses primarily on the chemistry of probes and imaging agents, and chemical methodology for labelling and bioconjugation First book to investigate the chemistry of molecular imaging Aimed at students as well as researchers involved in the area of molecular imaging
Life Space Crisis Intervention
"Totally revised and updated! New chapter on working with staff who inadvertently perpetuate conflict with a student. New appendix on the future of LSCI. Here's a professional resource for educators, psychologists, and counselors that focuses on Life Space Crisis Intervention, a strategy to help guide young people through stressful experiences. The second edition of this important book offers a significant breakthrough in teaching professionals the unique skills of interviewing children and youth during interpersonal crises. Part One prepares an adult to deal with all aspects of student stress. Part Two teaches the six sequential steps involved in carrying out successful life space crisis intervention, based on Fritz Redl's concepts. Part Three describes six types of therapeutic life space crisis interventions that are typical and beneficial to students in conflict. This book is a must have for special educators, counselors, principals, child care workers, social workers, probation workers, and psychologists who work with students who have special needs." -- Publisher's description

The result is stronger adult-child connections, better emotional regulation, improved peer relationships, lower suspension rates, and fewer juvenile j...
Metallocenes: An Introduction to Sandwich Complexes
Since the discovery of ferrocene in the 1950s, there has been an explosion of research in this area of organometallic chemistry, and metallocene chemistry is now a part of every undergraduate chemistry course. This book, aimed at advanced-level undergraduates, postgraduates and researchers in the field, is the first comprehensive account of the theory and applications of the various types of metallocenes for the last 30 years. The book develops from chapters on all aspects of the synthesis, structure, bonding and chemistry of metallocenes, to a discussion of the uses and importance of these compounds.
When Hurting Turns To Anger
Warning: If you are a teacher who believes that kids need to be punished in order to curb their angry misbehavior, this book is not for you. For the rest of us teachers who struggle daily with trying to teach kids with anger issues, When Hurting Turns to Anger: Helping Students is the book for you.
