This book presents an authoritative overview of memory in everyday contexts. Written by an expert team of international authors, it gathers together research on some of the more neglected but revealing areas of memory, to provide a comprehensive overview of remembering in real life situations.

Contributions from leading experts deal with a variety of important questions concerning everyday memory, from under-researched areas such as memory for odours, to more well known areas, like collective memory. Topics covered also include:
* Beliefs about memory and the metaphors used to discuss memory
* The relation between self-referent beliefs and actual memory
performance
* The development of autobiographical memory.

Everyday Memory summarises current knowledge and presents new interpretations and hypotheses to be explored by future research. It discusses aspects of human memory which are frequently ignored or dealt with only very briefly by ordinary textbooks and as a result will have a broad appeal for researchers and students.

This handbook is a truly remarkable scholarly contribution to the fields of psychology and education. Reynolds and Kamphaus are leaders in the field who between them have a developed a number of the most frequently used psychological and educational tests, and the noted chapter authors all have impressive publication records as well. While the first edition was a stellar contribution, the volumes in the second edition have been improved with extensive updating and revising. A decade of exciting new research findings are carefully reviewed, and the latest professional developments incorporated. Encyclopedic in scope, these well-edited volumes cover virtually every type of psychological test that can be individually administered to a child. Additional material on the history of testing, research design, and ethical and diversity issues, among many other important topics, is also included. All handbooks strive to be comprehensive, but this one truly succeeds! All professionals involved in child assessment should have these volumes at their fingertips."--Arthur MacNeill Horton, Jr., EdD, ABPP, ABPN, private practice, Columbia and Towson, Maryland; Past President, American Board of Professional Neuropsychology

Principles of Research Design in the Social Sciences is a book for researchers who know what they want to study but who have yet to decide how best to study it. This book does not aim to provide a set of rigid recipes for social scientists; rather, it is intended to stimulate them to think about the issues involved when deciding upon their research design.

In March 2001, the National Institutes of Health issued the following warning: "The number of Web sites offering health-related resources grows every day. Many sites provide valuable information, while others may have information that is unreliable or misleading."Furthermore, because of the rapid increase in Internet-based information, many hours can

be wasted searching, selecting, and printing. Since only the smallest fraction of information dealing with firefighters is indexed in search engines, such as www.google.com or others, a non-systematic approach to Internet research can be not only time consuming, but also incomplete.

 This book was created for medical professionals, students, and members of the general public who want to know as much as possible about firefighters, using the most advanced research tools available and spending the least amount of time doing so.
