Life's rewards

Linking dopamine, incentive learning, schizophrenia, and the mind

By: Richard J. Beninger

Since its discovery in the 1960s, a vast and wide-ranging body of research has accumulated about the dopaminergic system. Life's Rewards: Linking Dopamine, Incentive Learning, Schizophrenia, and the Mind offers a broad synthesis of our current understanding of this chemical, addressing, amongst others, its intricate relationship with learning and memory, psychopathology, social co-operation, and drug abuse. Aimed at students and researchers in neuroscience and psychology, Life's Rewards: Linking Dopamine, Incentive Learning, Schizophrenia, and the Mind is essential reading for anyone interested in the relationship between dopamine and reward-related incentive learning.

The Kentucky Derby, Preakness and Belmont Stakes

A Comprehensive History

By: Richard Sowers

This is the definitive history of thoroughbred racing's three premier events, which have never before been explored in such detail. This book gives the history of America's classic races from the inaugural Belmont Stakes in 1867 through 2013, identifying which equine participants were truly worthy of lasting acclaim and which were one-hit wonders. Perhaps even more compelling are the stories of the men and women who rode, trained, owned, or bred classic winners, including their exploits on the turf and their triumphs and failures in arenas far removed from horse racing.

Reflection in CBT

By: Beverly Haarhoff,Richard Thwaites

Developing skills and competency in CBT is a complex process of which self-observation and self-reflection are an essential part. In this new book, leading figures Beverly Haarhoff and Richard Thwaites outline the rationale for a focus on self-reflective practice in CBT, before offering practical and accessible guidelines demonstrating how this can be achieved in training and practice. Highlighting relevant research throughout and using case studies to illustrate theory in practice, ten chapters consider: - reflection in training and in supervision and self-supervision, - reflecting on the therapeutic relationship, on our sociocultural perceptions and biases and on client feedback - how reflection is vital to self-care and to becoming a better therapist, supervisor and trainer. This is an essential read for trainees in both high and low intensity CBT programmes, those on broader CBT courses, and for qualified practitioners working independently to enhance their self-reflective capacity.

From Slavery to Citizenship

From Slavery to Citizenship

By: Richard Ennals

Citizenship is not a spectator sport; it is all about engagement. From Slavery to Citizenship is part of a bigger picture - a development process which will enable us to gain more control over our own lives and to participate in decisions about the future direction of society and the organisations we are involved in. This book is unusual in suggesting that slavery is not a remote historical phenomenon, but a fundamental component of our present. People have been slaves in the past and some people are enslaved today. The subject of slavery is highly charged with emotion. From Slavery to Citizenship seeks to facilitate dialogue and to bridge gaps. This is not easy as people have been speaking different languages and working from diverse sets of assumptions. A first step is to listen and to learn from differences. In this book, a single author's voice brings together contributions from major public figures and respected thinkers. Within a rich tapestry of perspectives, there is no single line of argument, or one overall conclusion. There are contributions from Africa, North and South America, Western and Eastern Europe and Asia, and from discourses in work organisation, occupational health, psychiatry and human rights, as well as education. After reading the book, you are unlikely to conclude that all of the contributors have agreed, but you will find that they give you a starting point from which to reflect and begin discussion, as well as the tools to engage in active citizenship.

Frankford Heroes 2nd Edition

By: Robert F. Smiley,Richard W. Johnson

This book is a tribute to those 142 soldiers from the Frankford neighborhood of Philadelphia who died in service to their country from the Civil war up to the present day. Each soldier is profiled with birth and death dates, biographical details and military assignments. There are some photographs. The greatest number, over 80, died in the Civil War. This is a snapshot of the impact of that conflict on a typical small town of the times. During this period, Frankford had only been a part of the City of Philadelphia for less than 10 years. Also included are contemporary profiles of 47 Veterans living in Frankford today as well as the Honor Roll of over 300 Frankford Veterans who could be identified by name and branch.

Welcoming Ruin

The Civil Rights Act of 1875

By: Alan Friedlander,Richard Allan Gerber

The Civil Rights Act of 1875, enacted March 1, 1875, banned racial discrimination in public accommodations – hotels, public conveyances and places of public amusement. In 1883 the U.S. Supreme Court declared the law unconstitutional, ushering in generations of segregation until 1964. This first full-length study of the Act covers the years of debates in Congress and some forty state studies of the midterm elections of 1874 in which many supporting Republicans lost their seats. They returned to pass the Act in the short session of Congress. This book utilizes an army of primary sources from unpublished manuscripts, rare newspaper accounts, memoir materials and official documents to demonstrate that Republicans were motivated primarily by an ideology that civil equality would produce social order in the defeated southern states.
