Interpersonal Skills argues that a distinguishing factor between the successful and unsuccessful manager is his or her level of interpersonal competence. Research has demonstrated that people who are able to consciously manage the way they relate to others are much more successful in terms of achieving their goals. With this in mind, the book aims at increasing our awareness of those techniques which will help us to manage working relationships more effectively. John Hayes uses practical examples and illustrations to explain how we can learn to read the actual or potential behavior of others and use this knowledge to our advantage in the workplace. Some of skills examined in detail are listening to nonverbal messages, information-getting, explaining, presenting, helping, influencing negotiating, and working with groups.

Interpersonal relationships have been systematically studied in North America and Europe for about 80 years, yet many theorists have avoided the thorny task of charting the origins or causes of social relations and individual styles of relating. Thebelief that the child's interpersonal style is moulded by the parents' discipline and the example they set is deeply ingrained in Western culture. The values of parents in bringing up a child are combined with the values repersented by school and society.Many authorites, however, now reject the idea that there is a one-to-one correspondence between the way children are raised and the persons they become, or, at least, recognize that the issue is more complex than it once seemed. The purpose of this book is to equip the reader to understand the dynamics by which these contexts - home, school and culture - may come to influence the emergence of the child's social competence. The theoretical foundations and scope of relevant research are depicted, and critized, in a constructive way.

Feelings and emotions can play a major role in many social judgments and decisions. This book surveys and integrates the most recent work by leading psychologists on how emotions come to influence thinking and judgments. The role of emotions in interpersonal judgments about health and illness and in social decisions receive particular attention. Previous publications in this field have focused on either social judgments or emotional influence. This is the first book to integrate the two. It is organized in three main sections. The first looks at different conceptual approaches to the connection between emotion, mood and judgments. The second integrates and extends these basic theories, seeking to present a broader, more critical view of how feelings affect social judgments. The final section integrates well-defined theoretical models and their application in research.

Despite the amount of attention directed towards the examination of factors that influence whether people choose to engage in high-risk practices, there have been a few attempts to review and integrate this research. The Theory of Reasoned Action combines theoretical exposition, critique and empirical research and their relation to major models in health psychology with specific applications to AIDS education.

Of interest to both students and biological scientists in a wide variety of research areas, this handbook provides a comprehensive overview of the major techniques of autoradiography. The reader will find detailed, practical instructions, as well as information on the rationale behind the methods, and a critical appraisal of autoradiographs. With this volume the author, a widely known expert in the field, provides an invaluable introduction to the theory and techniques of autoradiography and an important addition to the library of experienced researchers who are familiar with other methods, but would like to broaden the scope of their knowledge. The volume includes numerous illustrations and helpful lists of further readings.

Human Molecular Genetics

Human Molecular Genetics has been carefully crafted over successive editions to provide an authoritative introduction to the molecular aspects of human genetics, genomics and cell biology. Maintaining the features that have made previous editions so popular, this fifth edition has been completely updated in line with the latest developments in the field. Older technologies such as cloning and hybridization have been merged and summarized, coverage of newer DNA sequencing technologies has been expanded, and powerful new gene editing and single-cell genomics technologies have been added. The coverage of GWAS, functional genomics, stem cells, and disease modeling has been expanded. Greater focus is given to inheritance and variation in the context of populations and on the role of epigenetics in gene regulation. Key features: <ul>
<li>Fully integrated approach to the molecular aspects of human genetics, genomics, and cell biology</li> <li>Accessible text is supported and enhanced throughout by superb artwork illustrating the key concepts and mechanisms</li> <li>Summary boxes at the end of each chapter provide clear learning points</li> <li>Annotated further reading helps readers navigate the wealth of additional information in this complex subject and provides direction for further study</li> <li>Reorganized into five sections for improved access to related topics</li> <li>Also new to this edition – brand new chapter on evolution and anthropology from the authors of the highly acclaimed Human Evolutionary Genetics
</li> </ul> A proven and popular textbook for upper-level undergraduates and graduate students, the new edition of Human Molecular Genetics remains the ‘go-to’ book for those studying human molecular genetics or genomics courses around the world.

Molecular and Cellular Biology of Viruses

Viruses interact with host cells in ways that uniquely reveal a great deal about general aspects of molecular and cellular structure and function. Molecular and Cellular Biology of Viruses leads students on an exploration of viruses by supporting engaging and interactive learning. All the major classes of viruses are covered, with separate chapters for their replication and expression strategies, and chapters for mechanisms such as attachment that are independent of the virus genome type. Specific cases drawn from primary literature foster student engagement. End-of-chapter questions focus on analysis and interpretation with answers being given at the back of the book. Examples come from the most-studied and medically important viruses such as HIV, influenza, and poliovirus. Plant viruses and bacteriophages are also included. There are chapters on the overall effect of viral infection on the host cell. Coverage of the immune system is focused on the interplay between host defenses and viruses, with a separate chapter on medical applications such as anti-viral drugs and vaccine development. The final chapter is on virus diversity and evolution, incorporating contemporary insights from metagenomic research. Key selling feature: <ul>
<li>Readable but rigorous coverage of the molecular and cellular biology of viruses</li> <li>Molecular mechanisms of all major groups, including plant viruses and bacteriophages, illustrated by example</li> <li>Host-pathogen interactions at the cellular and molecular level emphasized throughout</li> <li>Medical implications and consequences included </li> <li>Quality illustrations available to instructors</li> <li>Extensive questions and answers for each chapter</li>
</ul>
