Cascading Style Sheets: Separating Content from Presentation, Second Edition
CSS is one of the trio of core client-side web professional skills: HTML for markup, JavaScript for dynamism, and CSS for style. All web professionals who want to take their page design to the next level, with all the advantages that CSS brings, will need this book. This book is a focused guide to using Cascading Style Sheets (CSS) for the visual design of web pages. It provides concise coverage of all the essential CSS concepts developers need to learn (such as separating content from presentation, block and inline elements, inheritance and cascade, the box model, typography, etc). It also covers the syntax needed to effectively use CSS with your markup document (for example CSS rules, how to structure a style sheet, linking style sheets to your (X)HTML documents, CSS boxes etc). CSS (Cascading Style Sheets) is a powerful technology that can be used to add style and structure to your web pages without needing to resort to "hacks" such as HTML table layouts and "spacer images". However, this is not the only advantage over other styling methods. You can specify your CSS styles in a separate file, then apply those styles to every page in your web site. When you want to change a style on your site, you can do it by modifying one style sheet, rather having to update every page. This is only one example of the many advantages CSS brings to your web development work. Summary of Contents: - 1 Foundation Concepts
- 2 Overview of Presentation
- 3 Markup with Meaning
- 4 Fundamentals
- 5 Rules
- 6 Attaching CSS to Your Markup
- 7 Typography
- 8 Boxes, Boxes, Boxes

Evaluating Scientific Research: Separating Fact from Fiction
Leavitt aims to sensitize those who hope to do original scientific research to think creatively and critically about the literature they read, the questions they ask, the conceptual foundation of various research designs, and proper inferences from those designs. His highly accessible style avoids the technical language as he engagingly presents the complex and controversial issues related to scientific research. The book is divided into sections that deal with separate types of problems. Section I defines science and discusses its limitations; Section II helps to prepare the scientist for research with information about reading and evaluating the literature, recognizing conflicts of interest, finding a good problem, and asking good questions. The next two sections explore measurement issues and research designs. The final sections examine data analysis and raise philosophical issues..

Reconceiving Women: Separating Motherhood from Female Identity
According to recent surveys, approximately 40% of American women between the ages of 18 and 44 do not have children. Yet these women are virtually missing from accounts of women's lives. In this important new work, Mardy Ireland defines a place for women outside the parameters of motherhood and gives voice to the significant number of women who are not mothers. She draws extensively from interviews with over 100 childless women from various ethnic and educational backgrounds, demonstrating the myriad ways they came to view themselves as complete adults without recourse to the traditional defining criteria of motherhood. Her work offers all women--mothers and nonmothers alike--a vision of self-defined adulthood and a recognition that every woman is the subject of her own life.
Challenging the assumption of deprivation or deviance that is traditionally applied to childless women in psychological theory and popular culture, Dr. Ireland reframes childlessness as a concept and lays a groundwork for an expanded view of women's identity and psychic development. Using contemporary psychoanalytic theory, she reexamines female identity development and presents a positive interpretation of women who--for whatever reason--are not mothers.
To contrast and compare the experiences of her interview subjects, she places them within the changing psychosocial context of the last few decades and catagorizes them according to their reasons for childlessness. Included are: `traditional' women, who are childless by reasons of infertility or health complications; `transitional' women, who are not mothers because of delaying circumstances; and `transformative' women, who have actively chosen not to bear children in order to develop lives beyond the field of motherhood. The legend of Lilith, a creation story of the first woman, described in the last chapter, places both female desire and female power in a longstanding historical and mythic context.
Animated by excerpts, quotes, and stories from the many interviews, RECONCEIVING WOMEN: SEPARATING MOTHERHOOD FROM FEMALE IDENTITY is illuminating for general readers and professionals alike. It provides valuable insights for anyone interested in women's studies and the psychology of women, and serves as an excellent textbook for courses in these fields.

Angels Among Us: Separating Fact from Fiction
With stories of angelic encounters all around us, Reasoning from the Scriptures Ministries president Ron Rhodes delves into the biblical truth about these heavenly beings.

Angels Among Us provides solid, biblically based answers to pressing questions through a fascinating—and highly inspirational—tour of God’s Word.
