Public health problems are increasingly those of human encouraging healthier lifestyles, understanding social determinants of health, and barriers to effective public policies, including health care policies. This book introduces some of the principles of social research as applied to public health. It is aimed at those with some understanding of health and health care but little exposure to social research. It introduces some of the social science disciplines that have turned their attention to health and health care such as medical sociology, psychology and anthropology. The book

The book explores the sociological interest in risk and its management, particularly in the context of late twentieth-century uncertainties. It examines how the concept of "accident" has evolved from a minor misfortune to a significant aspect of modernist thought, highlighting the societal implications of risk perception and coping mechanisms in contemporary life.

The book explores the parallels between today's rapid social, economic, and cultural changes in education and those of the industrial revolution. It addresses the pressing questions faced by education researchers, students, teachers, and policymakers regarding the challenges of modern learning environments, the impact of new media, evolving community dynamics, and persistent educational issues. The work also emphasizes the need for research and theory to critically engage with contemporary educational and social policies, highlighting the urgency of adapting to these transformations.

The book explores the impact of individual choices on the environment, highlighting how everyday decisions, such as transportation and energy consumption, contribute to global warming and resource depletion. It emphasizes the interconnectedness of personal actions and their broader ecological consequences, urging readers to consider the environmental implications of their lifestyles.

Focusing on the interconnectedness of memory, thinking, and language, this book integrates insights from cognitive psychology that emerged over the decade leading to its 1987 publication. Building on the success of Judith Greene's previous work, it offers a clear introduction to complex concepts while highlighting practical applications for education and daily life. The text serves as a valuable resource for students, emphasizing how understanding cognitive processes can enhance both teaching methods and personal interactions.

A study of English society and political culture that casts new light on the significance of the Norman Conquest.

Originally published in 1875, this book discusses thinking and language and traces the development of different pscyological approaches, assessing their theoretical significance and the experimental evidence behind them. It ends by drawing together the various lines of argument to arrive at some general conclusions about language and thought, since it clearly emerges that the two are inextricably linked.

The second edition of this text is an introduction to the use of statistical tests in psychology experiments: statistics without panic. Presented in a new textbook format, its key objective is to enable students to select appropriate statistical tests to evaluate the significance of data obtained from psychological experiments. Improvements ion the organization of chapters emphasize even more clearly the principle of introducing complex experimental designs on a need to know basis, leaving more space for an extended interpretation of analysis of variance. In an important development for the second edition, students are introduced to modern statistical packages as a useful tool for calculations, the emphasis being on understanding and interpretation.
