Woe to the inhabitants of the earth and the sea. For the Devil has come down to you, having great wrath.... The Bible Eight thousand years ago, on the plains of Anatolia, the people of Catalhoyuk vanished. All that remained were abandoned ruins and hints of the unspeakable evil that destroyed them. Now, an archaeologist excavating the site has been hideously murdered, her skull defleshed and decorated in exactly the same manner as the remains unearthed within the ancient metropolis. In Rome, a priest is ex-communicated for his heretical belief in the physical presence of Satan within the Church, while the Center for Disease Control is overwhelmed by the sudden spread of a strange genetic disorder causing violent behavior. Renowned geneticist Dr. Paul Evans discovers a truth within the seemingly random events which is so staggering the scientific world and halls of the Vatican are shaken to the core. Unbelievably, the evil that plagued civilization at the beginning of time has again been unleashed. Joseph Scott is a practicing physician and professional expert witness. His passion for history and cutting-edge science forms the basis for this novel.

Employing an historical and comparative approach, this text is founded on the work of the classic nineteenth- and early twentieth-century founders of sociology, who began their quest for objective social knowledge by addressing the large questions -- where did their societies come from, what were their characters, and where were they going. In their search for answers, they explored the origins of Western capitalism, analyzed its major economic, political and social institutions, and tried to predict future developments. The Author maintains those classic concerns by providing conceptual tools that help students to make sense of the changes currently sweeping American, European, and Third World societies.

Societies and Social Life: An Introduction to Sociology

James W. Russell

The Masculine Self provides an introduction to the theoretical and scientific study of men. Building on its solid psychological foundation, the third edition has been significantly revised to update the large volume of research on men and masculinity that has emerged in the new millennium. Several boxed features have been added and several chapters have been reorganized. In addition to a chapter on ethnic identities and men's ways of being, the author has now added a new chapter on the intersection of masculinities with other forms of identity: social class, sexualities, and aging. Thus, the third edition takes a big step forward in dealing with the multiple layers of cultural masculinities. The text's manageable length makes it perfect for use as either a main text or supplement. Its accessible style and engaging approach are ideal for providing a solid understanding of the material and stimulating classroom discussion.

Sloan Publishing and the Cambridge Center for Behavioral Studies are proud to announce the recent publication of the updated Fourth Edition of A. Charles Catania's classic LEARNING textbook. As in previous editions, this update presents a coherent treatment of both animal learning and human learning literatures while focusing on the research findings of cognition, ethology, foraging theory, higher-order classes of behavior, equivalence classes, biological constraints on learning, and social learning processes. The author uses experimental data to illuminate the relevance of basic principles to important human concepts, e.g., language, memory, self-awareness, freedom of choice, and self-control. While containing all of the animal and human learning coverage of the 1998 Fourth Edition, this updated edition contains 40 pages of new material in special sections throughout the text, including tables that summarize Sources of Novel Behavior, The Vocabulary of Verbal Behavior, and Varieties of Memory. This new edition is available in paperback at the low student price of $52.95.

This brand new and fully updated edition builds upon nearly three decades of research, thought, conversation, and teaching of the most powerful political ideologies of our era. The Fourth Edition expands the treatment with significantly updated treatments of each ideology and new discussions of conservatism, neoconservativism, imperialism, Islamism, modernity, colonialism, and globalization. It contextualizes and explains the ideological foundations of the American war on terrorism and ongoing developments in nation states where pivotal ideological developments are occurring, especially the United States, China, and Iran. The authors also offer fully updated introductory and concluding chapters on the ongoing significance of studying ideologies and their meaning in a new global era. 
 What makes The Philosophic Roots an excellent textbook is that it emerges out of vast teaching experience that the authors have in a variety of university and college contexts. Each chapter is written in a way that invites readers at all levels into a classroom dialogue about the vision of humanity offered by each ideology and the kind of political world each ideology seeks to create. In these ways, The Philosophic Roots is an effective learning source for both those with little knowledge about the content of each ideology and those with prior knowledge seeking to think even more about the meaning and political significance of each belief system.

Emphasizing research findings and basic concepts, the Interim (5th) Edition surveys the major areas in the psychology of learning from a consistent behavioral point of view. As in previous editions, Learning explores the continuities between human learning and the learning of other animals. The book organizes the phenomena of learning in a systematic way, moving from Behavior Without Learning (evolution) to Learning Without Words (basics in nonhuman behavior and learning) to Learning With Words (human learning and memory). The 5th Edition includes etymological notes at the beginning of each chapter. These capsule word histories are important reminders of how easily our language changes. The glossary summarizes the major terminology of the field and may provide a convenient organizer for the reader.

Arguably the most comprehensive Men's Studies textbook in existence, The Masculine Self applies mainstream psychological theory to gendered perspectives on the lives of men and boys, and then covers an ever-growing body of research on men's issues, emotion, work, aggression, physical health, mental health, and relationships. New to the 4th edition is a completely reworked final chapter on contemporary developments in the areas of same-sex marriage, the growing population of incarcerated men in the United States, the social problems of pornography and prostitution, and the so-called boy crisis in pre- and post-secondary education. The reader will also find a step forward in the interdisciplinary nature of the text, with significant contributions from history, sociology, anthropology, theatre, and other disciplines. The text's manageable length makes it perfect for use as either a main text or supplement. Its accessible style and engaging approach are ideal for providing a solid understanding of the material and stimulating classroom discussion.
