Ordinal Measurement in the Behavioral Sciences

By: Norman Cliff,John A. Keats

This book provides an alternative method for measuring individual differences in psychological, educational, and other behavioral sciences studies. It is based on the assumptions of ordinal statistics as explained in Norman Cliff's 1996 Ordinal Methods for Behavioral Data Analysis. It provides the necessary background on ordinal measurement to permit its use to assess psychological and psychophysical tests and scales and interpret the data obtained. The authors believe that some of the behavioral measurement models used today do not fit the data or are inherently self-contradictory. Applications of these models can therefore lead to unwarranted inferences regarding the status of the derived variables. These methods can also be difficult to apply, particularly in small-sample contexts without making additional, unrealistic assumptions. Ordinal methods more closely reflect the original data, are simple to apply, and can be used in samples of any size. The book's approach is in essence a return to simple empiricism in psychological measurement. Ordinal Measurement in the Behavioral Sciences provides: *methods for analyzing test responses; *extensive discussions of ordinal approaches to analyzing data that are judgments of stimuli; *methods for treating psychological data in ways consistent with its ordinal nature so as to stimulate new developments in this area; and *ordinal test theory and the unfolding methods that are applicable to cross-cultural studies. Advanced students, researchers, and practitioners concerned with psychological measurement should find this book relevant. Measurement professionals will find it provides useful and simple methods that stimulate thought about measurement's real issues.

Racial Conflicts and Violence in the Labor Market

Roots in the 1919 Steel Strike

By: Cliff Brown

This book focuses on community-level race relations during the 1919 Steel Strike, when intense job competition contributed to racial conflict among the nation's steel workers. As the Great Migration brought thousands of black workers to northern cities, their lower labor costs generated racially split labor markets in the industrial sector. Further, the discriminatory policies of labor unions forced many blacks to serve as strike breakers during periods of class conflict. As a result, the migration heightened racial conflict and undercut important union organizing initiatives. The 1919 Steel Strike illustrates how racial divisions crippled many American unions, a pattern that helps to explain the demise of organized labor during the 1920's. No previous studies of the 1919 Steel Strike have systematically compared community processes to determine how local events shaped the strike's outcome. Despite the failure of the 1919 Steel Strike, the varied experiences of workers in different communities reveal much about the causes of racial conflict and the possibilities of interracial solidarity. This study finds that patterns of black migration, local government repression of labor, the organizational strength of local unions, and employers' efforts to inflame racial tension all help to explain community-level variation in interracial solidarity and conflict. (Ph. D. dissertation, Emory University, 1996; revised with new preface)

Curt Schilling

By: Cliff Mills

One of only four modern major league pitchers to strike out more than 300 batters in a year for two different teams, Curt Schilling delivered on a famous promise to help bring a world championship to the Boston Red Sox in 2004. Pitching on a mangled and bloody ankle, he fought through the pain to win crucial games in that postseason against the New York Yankees and St. Louis Cardinals. In 2001, he also helped lead the then-four-year-old Arizona Diamondbacks to the team's one-and-only world championship. Off the mound, this father of four is an outspoken political voice, a dynamic business owner, and a generous volunteer of his time and money, benefiting charitable causes such as ALS and melanoma research, among others. In Curt Schilling, find out how this right-hander delivers success on and off the field.

Racial Conflict and Violence in the Labor Market

Roots in the 1919 Steel Strike

By: Cliff Brown

Taking one of the many strikes during the period as a case study, argues that the migration of black workers to northern US cities looking for work during World War I, and the practice and pattern of racial discrimination by the mainstream labor unions created a split labor market in which black workers had no choice but to scab on strikers. Focuses on community-level race relations during the strike, and also considers the impact of local governments repressing labor, the organizational strength of local union, and employers' efforts to inflame racial tension. Developed from a 1996 Ph.D. dissertation for Emory University. Annotation copyrighted by Book News, Inc., Portland, OR

Manchester United Yearbook 2002-03

By: Cliff Butler,Ivan Ponting

The 2001-2002 season sees Sir Alex Ferguson leading Manchester United in an effort to win their eight Premiership title in its tenth season as well to reclaim the European Champions' League Cup trophy in his final campaign at Old Trafford. With the arrival of prolific Dutch striker Ruud van Nistelrooy, and highly-regarded Argentinian midfielder Juan Sebastian Veron (for a British transfer record of about [pound]25 million), plus an extra effort on the part of all for Fergie's last season, United will be aiming to atone for their quarter-final exit from the final stages of the Champions' League competition last year. In the Premiership, the Red Devils will be competing against those desperate to prevent them claiming a fourth consecutive title - with Liverpool and Arsenal probably being United's most dangerous rivals. Match by match and month by month, this is the ultimate record of the 2001-2002 season at Old Trafford, which features a fully illustrated match report on every single game played, full match statistics, monthly progress reports and a full set of statistics at the end of the campaign, as well as an overview of the whole season. Juniors and the Manchester United Academy teams - in effect results for every single game played by the club at every level. Also included is information on travel arrangements and supporters' clubs. There are official end-of-season statements from both the chairman and the manager, which also look forward to the possibilities for the next campaign. The Manchester United Official Yearbook 2002 is the only official, definitive review of Manchester United's 2001-2002 season, and features player profiles as United look forward to the campaign for 2002-2003.
