Bill Slider Omnibus (Bill Slider Mysteries)
Bringing together the first three books in the Bill Slider series— Orchestrated Death, Death Watch, and Necrochip—this omnibus offers three-fold entertainment. In Orchestrated Death, Detective Inspector Bill Slider is never going to make it to the Yard. Passed over for promotion again, the last thing he needs in his life, or on his watch, is an unidentifiable naked female corpse. In Death Watch, when a noted womanizer dies in a sleazy motel and the whole of his murky past comes to light, DI Bill Slider begins to question more than whether the game is worth the candle. As soon as he's solved the motel mystery, Slider's going to have to start putting his own house in order. In Necrochip, Detective Superintendent George Dickson's replacement by DS "Mad Ivan" Barrington—a new broom determined to sweep clean—is all par for the course for DI Bill Slider, as he faces the unhygienic fact of a dismembered corpse in a catering establishment. .

Psychology: The Science of Mind and Behavior
This textbook reflects the experiences of Michael Passer and Ronald Smith as faculty who have taught the introductory psychology course several dozen times, and, earlier, as students whose own interest in psychology was sparked by instructors who brought the introductory course to life. Four goals have influenced their writing of this text: 1) to show students that the world of behavior is fascinating; 2) to help students think critically and analytically about behavior, dispelling common myths; 3) to convey the intellectual excitement of studying behavior with scientific rigor; 4) to apply knowledge obtained from scientific inquiry to real-world problems. Users and reviewers of Passer and Smith's text overwhelmingly praise the authors for succeeding at these goals!.

Weaving a Family: Untangling Race and Adoption
Weaving together the sociological, the historical, and the personal, Barbara Katz Rothman looks at the contemporary American family through the lens of race, race through the lens of adoption, and all—race, family, and adoption—within the context of the changing meanings of motherhood. "What a fine and complex book this is! Barbara Katz Rothman takes us, with lucidity and (often brave) good humor, through the tangle of pains and satisfactions that come with her family's challenge to the racial status quo." —Rosellen Brown, author of Half a Heart and Before and After "Is it right for white parents to adopt African-American children? How does a white parent expose her black daughter to two cultures? Protect the child from insensitive remarks? Sociologist Barbara Katz Rothman . . . doesn't just describe what it's like to be the white mother of a black girl. Rothman skillfully debates adoption ethics, the commodification of children, and the politics of inequality in America." —Anne E. Stein, Chicago Tribune "In Weaving a Family, the sociologist and white mother of an African American girl provides an accessible, sensitive portrayal of the inherent sociological complexities of mixed-race adoption and parenting." —Melissa Chianta, Mothering Barbara Katz Rothman is a professor of sociology at the City University of New York. Her previous books include The Book of Life (Beacon / 0451-0 / $16.00 pb), Recreating Motherhood, The Tentative Pregnancy, and In Labor.
