From highly regarded therapist and author David Treadway, this unique book presents fictional stories that are both instructive and a pleasure to read. The volume delves into vital personal, professional, and ethical issues that are often neglected in clinical training, including burnout; therapeutic mistakes; balancing a practice with one's own family life; client suicide; and relationships between therapists and clients, appropriate as well as inappropriate. Some of the characters in these skillfully crafted stories are revisited over time, providing a window into processes of clinical change and growth. Special features include thought-provoking questions at the end of each story, a study/discussion guide, and suggestions for further reading. A rewarding resource for clinicians, this volume is also a highly useful tool for professional workshops or graduate training programs.

This book, combining analysis and tools from mathematical probability, focuses on a systematic and novel presentation of recent trends in pure and applied mathematics: the emergence of three fields, wavelets, signals and fractals. The unity of basis constructions and their expansions is emphasized as the starting point for the development of bases that are computationally efficient for use in several areas from wavelets to fractals.

The book brings together tools from engineering and math, especially from signal- and image processing, and from harmonic analysis and operator theory. The presentation is aimed at graduate students, as well as users from a diverse spectrum of applications.

Key features:

 • A hands-on approach for students, including tutorials and numerous exercises;

 • Excellent motivation throughout;

 • New pedagogical features: glossary of terms, their use in mathematics and in engineering, help for cross-audiences, image processing, visual presentation of key algorithms, structure and geometry of big matrix computations, explanation of uses of the theory in applications outside of mathematics;

 • Includes more than 50 figures with captions, illustrating the main ideas, plus engineering diagrams, graphic renditions of algorithms, and separate illustrations;

 • Separate sections in the book explain engineering terms to mathematicians, and operator theory to engineers;

 • Each chapter concludes with a helpful guide to the literature allowing students to follow up on the topics in the book.

Let us suspend the consideration of contemporaneous testimony, and concisely review the ground we have passed over. Suppose the proceedings of the convention had been publick, and that all the panoply for the establishment of a national government, had been displayed in the newspapers. Suppose the states to have been alarmed by the exhibition, and to have remonstrated against the project. That this would have been the case, is demonstrated by the credentials to their deputies, and the opinions annexed to their ratifications..

Hard Charger! is a comprehensive history of the USS Biddle (DLG/CG-34) as told by the officers and men who served aboard her.

Co-author RADM Tom Marfiak suggests that “It is a first hand account of what life was like aboard a front line missile cruiser in the middle of the Cold War. The combat sequences have not been equaled anywhere—and the story is by the people who lived them. The book tells the story of a ship from start to finish, a story mirrored by many others, but distinguished in this case by her performance in combat. A ship is just a hull, without her crew. Here is the opportunity to see into who they were, and what they meant to each other and the ship, and so to the Navy and the nation. The tradition continues.”

Bernie Ditter, writing in Tin Can Sailors, stated, “In this reviewers opinion the real story is the transformation of the surface ships of war from guns to missiles and so far into the information age that the gunner’s mates from the past have almost become anachronistic.”

Captain Maylon T Scott, Biddle’s first commanding officer, wrote, “Hard Charger! very accurately depicts how Biddle’s plank owners, through hard work, determination and dedication, set the high standards that sustained her for almost 27 years and were recognized throughout the Fleet as the standards to emulate. Many of Biddle’s policies and operational procedures related to combat readiness and response were new at the time but now are official doctrine in the Fleet today.”
