The Biology of Human Conduct: East-West Models of Temperament and Personality is a three-part book that explores models of temperament, typology and personality, and personality and conditioning. The first part has four chapters detailing the behavior genetic model; typological models; human typology and higher mental processes; and interactional approach to development. The second part covers theories of personality; strength of the nervous system; the orientation reaction; mobility, concentration, and lability; and the structure of nervous system properties. The last part shows sources of variance in conditioning and socialization.

Research Methods in Human Skeletal Biology serves as the one location readers can go to not only learn how to conduct research in general, but how research is specifically conducted within human skeletal biology. It outlines the current types of research being conducted within each sub-specialty of skeletal biology, and gives the reader the tools to set up a research project in skeletal biology. It also suggests several ideas for potential projects. Each chapter has an inclusive bibliography, which can serve as a good jumpstart for project references. Provides a step-by-step guide to conducting research in human skeletal biology Covers diverse topics (sexing, aging, stature and ancestry estimation) and new technologies (histology, medical imaging, and geometric morphometrics) Excellent accompaniment to existing forensic anthropology or osteology works

First published in 1941, the original blurb for Letters to Margaret reads: ‘In view of the almost universal ignorance of the most elementary biological and psychological facts of life amongst adults, and waste of time and energy amongst children in attempts to acquire surreptitiously the knowledge necessary to them, the author has supplied the need in this book. Drawing upon a fund of material accumulated over twenty years of work for difficult children, he gives in the form of letters to a girl on the threshold of adolescence answers to many questions which puzzle the eager minds of boys and girls. He traces the course of normal growth from birth to the age of twenty-five, and shows how the male and female elements combine to form the human personality. In a small compass he has given parents and teachers a book which will help children reach maturity ready to take an adult part in life. With this volume on their own shelves children will have no need to search the Bible for stray allusions to the act of reproduction, or borrow surreptitiously the volume on “advice to parents” supposedly kept beyond their reach.’ Today it can be read in its historical context. This book is a re-issue originally published in 1941. The language used and views portrayed are a reflection of its era and no offence is meant by the Publishers to any reader by this re-publication.

Designed for a one or two semester non-majors course in introductory biology taught at most two and four-year colleges. This course typically fulfills a general education requirement, and rather than emphasizing mastery of technical topics, it focuses on the understanding of biological ideas and concepts, how they relate to real life, and appreciating the scientific methods and thought processes. Given the authors' work in and dedication to science education, this text's writing style, pedagogy, and integrated support package are all based on classroom-tested teaching strategies and learning theory. The result is a learning program that enhances the effectiveness & efficiency of the teaching and learning experience in the introductory biology course like no other before it.
