Applied Multiple Regression/Correlation Analysis for the Behavioral Sciences, Third Edition

4 reviews
Jacob Cohen, Patricia Cohen, ...

Lawrence Erlbaum, 2002

Best MRC Book Ever
I agree with the previous reviewer that there are times when the exposition in the book gets a bit intense; but c'mon! We're dealing with statistics. You gotta sweat a bit. That's when learning happens. In my opinion the book is extremely clearly written. And although you may have to re-read a few sentences a few times, the basic tools for understanding most every major aspect of MRC is ...

Figures of Speech: 60 Ways To Turn A Phrase

8 reviews
Arthur Quinn, Barney R. Quinn

Lawrence Erlbaum, 1995

Asyndeton to Zeugma: A Guided Tour of Colorful Language
"A Handlist of Rhetorical Terms" provides a more complete study, but "Figures of Speech" is more user-friendly, more entertaining, more compact, more useful. "Handlist" proved to be more scholarly, "Figures" more practical. "Handlist" arranges the figures alphabetically, "Figures" by type. "Handlist" gives a few examples, "Figures" many. I found the examples in "Figures" to be lyrical, the ...

Strategic Planning for Public Relations

Ronald D. Smith

Lawrence Erlbaum, 2004

One of my favorite campaign textbooks
It is a comprehensive textbook with a nice blend of theory and practice. Right now, it's one of my favorites. I find the sections on strategy and evaluation weak, but the parts on formative research and tactics are really good. I use it for my campaigns class along with "Strategic Public Relations Management" by Weintraub Austin and Pinkleton. I recommend it as an appopriate textbook for an ...

Liping Ma

Lawrence Erlbaum, 1999

Guess the Profession of the Only Person Thus Far to Give this Book a One-Star Rating
That's right: a teacher (undoubtedly an American teacher), and even worse, one working on a master's degree in education. And yet, she (to pick a gender to use) is unable to see any worth in this great book. Furthermore, her review illustrates one of the problems with many teachers today in the US: the lack of critical thinking skills, not to mention an apparent ignorance about research ...

4 reviews
Jon S. Bailey, Mary R. Burch

Lawrence Erlbaum Associates, 2005

much needed text on ethics
The field of Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) has experienced explosive growth over the last decade and a half. The over-riding goal of any ABA effort must be to increase the autonomy of the individual, his/her ability to make choices for his or her own life and to live independently within society. Unfortunately, many individuals who are supposedly providing ABA services have not received the ...

The Basic Principles of Effective Consulting

Linda K. Stroh, Homer H. Johnson

Lawrence Erlbaum Associates, 2005

Review of Book
Great book! I liked how the book goes through each step of the consulting process. Follow the steps and you can't go wrong. Probably the best feature is the practical advice given in each of the chapters. For example, the authors tell you what questions to ask in the first meeting with a client, how to write a successful proposal and contract, how to conduct interviews, how to collect data, how ...

I have collected a library of books on critical thinking, but this is by far the best. It is comprehensive and intellectually honest, yet very readable.

George A. Morgan, Nancy L. Leech, ...

Lawrence Erlbaum Associates, 2006

great for beginners
I had little experience in statistics and really needed a STEP-BY-STEP guidebook that was light on theories and "robust" on the practical stuff. I was able to go through this book in two days, having now felt rather comfortable with the SPSS program. The authors have a way of making statistics very approachable using simple words. They also have examples on how you would write up the stat ...

This book is an ideal introduction to applied behavior analysis (ABA). It's brief, easy to understand, and interesting. It describes basic principles and procedures, then illustrates them with anecdotes, case studies, or research -- and does it all in nontechnical terms. Topics are organized around 50 questions commonly asked about ABA. Most of the questions deal with what behavior ...

1 review
Linda S. Levstik, Keith C. Barton

Lawrence Erlbaum Associates, 2005

A Wonderful Book for Educators
I have used this great book in the San Diego State and Wayne State university teacher education programs. It's a wonderful opening to an active, participatory method in teaching social studies. And it is a good reminder to practitioners about what history is, how it is constructed, and who it serves. Students at all levels enjoyed "Doing History." Those looking for ways to promote social agency ...

The Definitive Power Analysis Text
Cohen does a masterful job of taking the guesswork out of statistical power estimation. This text provides procedural guidelines for determining power for many designs, and can be quite helpful in determining proper sample sizes. Not for the casual reader, but a necessary addition to any serious researchers statistical library.
