Ron Comer's brief text opens the doors of this inherently fascinating field in an eye-opening, provocative, and yet, human way--taking a subject so... familiar to students from movies, television, and fiction, and showing the real drama, the real science, and the real stakes for patients and their loved ones.

Fundamentals of Abnormal Psychology helps students understand what it is really like to live with, study, and treat psychological disorders.  Combining... the latest research with the actual experiences of clients, their families, and practicing therapists, Ron Comer opens the doors of this inherently fascinating field in an eye-opening, science-based, and yet human way.  Comer not only encourages students to think critically about the science and study of mental disorders—he also reveals the humanity behind them. The new edition of Fundamentals of Abnormal Psychology incorporates new directions in theory, diagnosis, and therapy, with much new material on cultural aspects of psychological dysfunction, on “new wave” cognitive and cognitive-behavioral approaches, and on the latest relevant findings from the field of neuroscience.   It is also accompanied by the latest in media-powered teaching and learning support, including the new Abnormal Psychology Video Tool Kit.

Daniele Caramani describes the transformation of politics from an environment where voting behavior differs greatly between regions to one where it is... homogeneous within nations. Looking at long-term evolution, spanning the mid-nineteenth century to the present, Caramani utilizes data on specific constituencies rather than on a national level. He demonstrates that a nation-wide homogeneous dimension emerged from national and industrial revolutions and replaced preindustrial territorial dimensions. His analysis is constructed along the lines of party families and reveals why countries currently exhibit different levels of homogeneity.

While skepticism about government is an enduring feature of North American political culture, today's climate of anti-government sentiment has grown... aggressive and even violent.

It documents the sources of citizen discontent with government; explores its effects upon career civil servants' ability to do their work; and attempts to understand the implications for public administration practice in an anti-government area.
