Social Work and Science in the 21st Century

By: Leon H. Ginsberg,Christopher R. Larrison,Larry Nackerud,John R. Barner,Lauren A. Ricciardelli

Social Work and Science in the 21st Century enhances the inclusion of natural science concepts and knowledge into social work education and practice. The book highlights basic scientific theories and ideas in a broad array of natural science fields, including chemistry, physics, astronomy, geometry, numbers, and big data. A number of chapters focus on how knowledge from the natural sciences can enhance social work practice in areas as diverse as medicine, substance abuse, mental health, and intellectual and developmental disabilities, while other chapters on water, human geography, climate change, execution and the death penalty, and the life cycle are designed to highlight the natural science behind social issues. The information presented in the book is complex enough to spark the reader's continued interest in knowing more about the natural sciences, but basic enough to allow readers with limited understanding of the natural sciences--at both the bachelor's and master's levels--to feel comfortable exploring its contents.

Radio Kid

By: Larry Ricciardelli

Having recently moved to the Township of Scarborough, Laurence (or Lolly, to his pals) is coming out of O’Brien’s smoke shop with a copy of the latest Blackhawk comic book in hand. Outside he stumbles across Billy, a boy he’s never seen before. Their conversation is cut short when Billy is suddenly unable to speak. In a near catatonic state he almost walks into the path of a delivery truck! Moments later Billy is picked up by a man in an expensive looking car. As the summer holidays begin, the two boys run into each other again. Though still unsure about Billy’s strange ailment, Lolly senses something very compelling about the older boy. They become friends and spend their days together in their self-formed Mandrake the Magician’s club. As Billy’s strange behaviour becomes more bizarre and frightening, Lolly plays it safe and with the urging of his mother, calls an end to the friendship. He begins the new school year on edge, expecting to run into the unpredictable Billy at every turn. Relief comes when Lolly discovers that the older boy has been sent to a hospital just a few weeks before Christmas. Thoughts of Billy surface from time to time, and continue to follow the younger boy throughout the year and into the new summer. On the advice his newfound love, Mary Thorne, Lolly resolves to seek the truth and to finally confront his curious friend. A snapshot in time, Radio Kid is a humorous, heartwarming tale of a young boy entering adolescence in the pre-television days of the early 1950s.

Contemporary Corrections

A Critical Thinking Approach

By: Rick Ruddell,G. Larry Mays,L. Thomas Winfree Jr.

Contemporary Corrections: A Critical Thinking Approach introduces readers to the essential elements of the US corrections system without drowning students in a sea of nonessential information. Unbiased and accessible, the text includes coverage of the history of corrections, alternatives to incarceration, probation/parole, race/ethnicity/gender issues in corrections, re-entry into the community, and more. The authors' unparalleled practical approach, reinforced by contemporary examples, illuminates the role corrections plays in our society. The authors have reinvigorated earlier work with additional content on international comparative data to increase our understanding of how prison officials in other nations have developed different types of responses to the problems that challenge every US correctional administrator, a new chapter on correctional personnel, and an integration of race and ethnicity issues throughout the book. Unrivaled in scope, this book offers undergraduates a concise but comprehensive introduction to corrections with textual materials and assignments designed to encourage students’ critical thinking skills.

Larry Morrow is one of Cleveland's most popular celebrities. In this book he tells stories from a lifetime in radio--how he got into broadcasting, early days in Detroit, the exciting times at Cleveland's AM powerhouse WIXY 1260 in the 1960s and '70s, and his long on-air runs at WERE AM and WQAL FM. He tells about many interesting celebrities he interviewed and unusual promotions he was involved in. Morrow was named "Mr. Cleveland" by mayor George Voinovich for his decades of tireless effort promoting his adopted city, and he has been selected as master of ceremonies for most major Cleveland events in the past three decades, including Cleveland's bicentennial celebration. He is in great demand as a public speaker and a communications teacher.
