Adolescent Suicide: An Integrated Approach to the Assessment of Risk and Protective Factors

2007 y.
Publisher: Northern Illinois University Press
Description: A guide to the assessment of adolescent suicide risk in clinical and non-clinical settings by two experts in the field, Peter M. Gutierrez and Augustine Osman. Suicide and suicide attempts among adolescents are significant public health problems. Consequently, identifying at-risk youth in time to provide intervention not only helps to prevent suicides and suicide-related injuries but improves young persons overall quality of life and increases the chances for healthy and productive lives. Believing that adolescent suicide can be prevented, Gutierrez and Osman have developed a set of tools for assessing suicide risk, designed especially for adolescents. In contrast to the most common assessments that focus solely on risk factors, these tools measure both risk and protective factors in order to predict more accurately the probability of suicide and suicide-related behaviors. This guide is designed to enable nonspecialists as well as professional clinicians, researchers,… [detailed...]

Adopting a Dog: The Indispensable Guide for Your Newest Family Member

2005 y.
Publisher: W. W. Norton &, Company, Inc.
Description: At last, an indispensable guide to the unique needs of the 2.5 million dogs adopted every year in America. Unbelievably, there has never been a comprehensive training-and-care guide written for the adopted or `pre-owned` dog. Manuals abound for the puppy, even for the adult or mature dog, but Adopting a Dog has established itself as the standard work for this exploding population. John Ross and Barbara McKinney provide invaluable advice for every kind of adoptable dog: the older puppy, the overactive or unhousebroken adult dog, the shelter pooch, or even the mature canine in need of one last, loving home. As previous dog owners know, great intentions are not enough to make your new pet a well-loved, well-behaved partof your family. Your enthusiasm after rescuing a homeless dog can quickly turn sour when problems appear. After all, it`s not unusual for adopted dogs to bring all sorts of behavioral baggage with them. In fact, their behavioral problems may have been… [detailed...]

Adoption in a Color-Blind Society

2007 y.
Publisher: —
Description: Adoption in a Color-blind Society illustrates how the political economy of private domestic adoption intersects with the political economy of racism to generate quite different demands for infants and children of different races and how the private adoption arena responds to these demands. This book argues that rather than moving towards a color-blind democracy, we instead live in a context where race continues to matter substantially, particularly in arenas closest to home.

Adoption of EC by Logistics Service Providers: Adoption of Electronic Commerce by Logistics Service Providers in Hong Kong

2008 y.
Publisher: —
Description: Logistics has developed into an integral part of the corporate strategy of many firms, contributing to the primary activities of their value chain, and ultimately creating cost and service advantages to the firm. Many firms nowadays have adopted a supply chain management, increasingly outsourcing their logistics activities to logistics service providers (LSPs). Logistics encompasses all of the information and physical flows throughout a supply chain. A percentage of logistics services providers (LSPs) adopt the new technology of electronic commerce (EC) as a tool to conduct their business operations, but others still resist it. What causes LSPs in Hong Kong to accept or reject EC? This study aims at investigating factors affecting the adoption of EC by LSPs in Hong Kong, their practices and their performance outcomes. Using both qualitative and quantitative data collected from a sample of LSPs in Hong Kong, this study identifies the factors that affect firms to adopt EC, examines the… [detailed...]

Thisbook features works, including many previously unpublished, from the Metropolitan and other museums and private collections, and it explores the fascinating ways in which Marquesan art embodied and enhanced secular and religious life. Created to honor the archipelago’s diverse gods and ancestors, adorn the bodies of its people, and decorate everyday objects, art in the Marquesas encompassed virtually every aspect of sacred and secular life. Marquesan art is celebrated for its elegant stylization of the human image and intricately decorated surfaces, while also displaying an astonishing diversity of forms that range from robust figural sculpture in wood and stone to the most elaborate tattooing in the Pacific.

Adorno : A Political Biography

2004 y.
Publisher: —
Description: Book Description Theodor W. Adorno—philosopher, cultural critic, sociologist, and music theorist—was one of the most important German intellectuals of the twentieth century. This concise, readable life is the first attempt to look at his philosophical and literary work in its essential political context. Central to Adorno’s intellectual development were his musical training, his father’s Jewish roots, and the rise of National Socialism in Germany, which forced him to emigrate to the United States. While in exile, he and Max Horkheimer wrote Dialectic of Enlightenment, a bold attempt to illuminate the dark side of modernity, and on his own Adorno wrote a series of connected essays on the “culture industry”—his indictment of mass culture. A co-founder of the famous Frankfurt School, Adorno returned to head it after the war, assuming a key role in the intellectual life of postwar West Germany until his untimely death in… [detailed...]

Adorno: A Biography

2009 y.
Publisher: —
Description: `Even the biographical individual is a social category`, wrote Adorno. `It can only be defined in a living context together with others.` In this major new biography, Stefan Muller-Doohm turns this maxim back on Adorno himself and provides a rich and comprehensive account of the life and work of one of the most brilliant minds of the twentieth century. This authoritative biography ranges across the whole of Adorno`s life and career, from his childhood and student years to his years in emigration in the United States and his return to postwar Germany. At the same time, Muller-Doohm examines the full range of Adorno`s writings on philosophy, sociology, literary theory, music theory and cultural criticism. Drawing on an array of sources from Adorno`s personal correspondence with Horkheimer, Benjamin, Berg, Marcuse, Kracauer and Mann to interviews, notes and both published and unpublished writings, Muller-Doohm situates Adorno`s contributions in the context of his times and… [detailed...]

Adriaen Coorte

2008 y.
Publisher: Waanders Publishers
Description: The still lifes of Adriaen Coorte (active c.1683-1707) are much loved today. The unassuming quality of his attractive scenes is a key factor in this popularity. Most are small paintings of simple subjects. Everyday motifs loom large: a bunch of asparagus, a small bowl of strawberries, or a spray of gooseberries on a stone table-top. The most characterisric of Coorte`s works are confined to a single type of fruit or vegetable. Coorte also depicted scenes featuring a few shells or nuts. He always opted for a dark-coloured background. These factors, combined with a bright illumination, give his still lifes a near-magical appearance. This highly readable and richly illustrated edition is published to accompany the retrospective exhibition Ode to Coorte in The Hague. The catalogue consists of two parts: an introductory essay and an overview of Coorte`s entire oeuvre. Since many paintings have resurfaced in recent years, this oeuvre catalogue can serve as a new, updated reference… [detailed...]

Adrift on The Haunted Seas: The Best Short Stories of William Hope Hodgson

2005 y.
Publisher: —
Description: William Hope Hodgson (1877-1918) is acknowledged as one of the undisputed masters of the sea story. There has never been a collection of his very best short stories offered to the trade. Hodgson`s sea stories have unusual authenticity owing to his having spent a lot of time on merchant`s ships-he left his family in 1890 at the age of thirteen to spend eight years at sea, where the experience of mistreatment, poor pay, and worse food was contrasted by Hodgson`s immeasurable fascination with the sea. His obsession for the sea fills his writings. This volume collects the very best of Hodgson`s sea stories-which has not been done before-with some of the most exciting and dramatic creatures of fantasy on the written page, exhibiting the sea in all her moods: wonder, mystery, beauty, and terror. `This collection brings together the very best of his short stories, together with a sampling of his poetry. It includes a variety of his sea horrors along with two non-fantastic pieces: `On the… [detailed...]

Ads to Icons: How Advertising Succeeds in a Multimedia Age

2007 y.
Publisher: Kogan Page Business Books
Description: Ads to Icons introduces new approaches to advertising that go beyond traditional TV/press/billboard communications. It argues that in an age of media saturation and far better customer information, advertising no longer needs to push information at customers. Instead, the book features cases of `pull` advertising - digital, live events and social networks formed as a response to an advertising brief. Paul Springer shows how advertising can still rise above the noise and clutter of mass communication to make people take notice. Quoting fifty benchmark cases from five continents, he considers a variety of new advertising methods, including in-game and interactive digital advertising, `flash` stores, and other unified on/offline campaigns. He explains why those campaigns were successful and analyzes their contribution to the field. Examples include campaigns by Nike, Mastercard, Cadbury, Ford, IKEA, and Sony Ericsson.
