Set during the confusion following the terrorist attacks of September 11, the story begins when a history teacher asks his students to write a report based on an interview with someone who has a different viewpoint from their own. As they fan out into the community and encounter people of diverse backgrounds, opinions, and prejudices, the teens quickly realize that the story cannot be reduced to simple dichotomies of good versus evil or us versus them..

Designed to help students learn to analyze and interpret research data using basic statistics, this new edition features SPSS 12.0, but can also be used with earlier versions. Each chapter introduces several statistics and provides instructions on how to run them and interpret the output. The authors describe the use and interpretation of these statistics in user-friendly, nontechnical language. The authors demonstrate how to choose the appropriate statistic based on the research design, how to interpret SPSS outputs, how to use SPSS to answer research questions, and how to write about the outputs.

SPSS for Introductory Statistics, 2/e provides unique learning tools:
* all of the key SPSS windows needed to perform the analyses;
* complete outputs of what students can expect to produce with call-out boxes to highlight what to focus on;
* interpretation sections and questions to help students better understand the output; and
* lab assignments organized in a manner similar to the way in which students proceed when they prepare data for a research project.

Features new to this second edition include:
*a discussion of effect size in each interpretation section;
*discussions of assumptions when statistics are first introduced;
*two data sets now available on a CD in the back of the book;
*a new chapter on data coding, entry, and checking;
*increased emphasis on descriptive and non-parametric statistics, testing assumptions, and reliability assessment;
*SPSS syntax, with output, for those who prefer this format; and
*an Instructor's CD with PowerPoint slides.

Embryogenesis is an unusual book in that it brings together a highly illustrated, practical embryology book in simple language, perfect for health practitioners, with a fascinating read on the history and philosophy of biological science. It discusses the various stages of embryonic development (meiosis, fertilization, blastula development, and gastrulation, and then the embryology of each of the human organs and organ systems in detail). It puts each of them in context, both in terms of its phylogeny: the evolutionary trajectory of cell-organized systems on Earth, and its ontogeny: the formation of individual organisms in the modern world.

There are 24 color plates, many of them commissioned uniquely for this volume, and several hundred black and white illustrations. The book is 950 pages hardcover, 8-1/2 by 10.
