Key Studies in Psychology: A Guide to Navigating the Core Issues in Research Articles
by Richard GrossNow in its seventh edition, this book brings together 30 classic and contemporary studies in psychology to show students how to analyse key studies in the field, understand how classic theories are constantly revisited by modern researchers, and develop the skills required to write about psychology in exams and essays.Pulled from each of the five major areas of psychology – cognitive, developmental, individual differences, social, and biopsychology – the studies cover such topics as language and memory, attachment, mental disorder, bystander intervention, and near-death experiences. Each chapter looks at the background and context to a classic and contemporary study and provides a summary of them, before going on to evaluate areas of agreement and convergence, disagreement and divergence, and strengths and weaknesses. Each of these areas focuses on theoretical, methodological/statistical, and ethical issues. Finally, suggestions are made regarding applications, implications, and future research directions. In so doing, the book helps students learn how to deal with primary sources, including how to extract the most relevant information, assess strengths and weaknesses, know what to look for when evaluating a study, and understand how it relates to other research.Bridging the gap from A-level to degree level study, this is the ideal resource for undergraduate students in psychology.

Key Themes in the Ethnography of Education (BSA New Horizons in Sociology)
by Dr Sara Delamont"This is a beautifully written book that takes the reader to the heart of ethnography as experience. Readers can walk in the shoes of ethnographers who have travelled before them, and learn as they learned. Sara Delamont is an undisputed expert in both ethnography and education, and here illustrates she is also a tour de force in writing style. All the important ingredients for a recipe to make a good quality ethnography are here, and they are served up with relish!" - Karen O'Reilly, Loughborough University "This is a powerful, richly nuanced, evocative work; a stunning and brilliantly innovative intervention. It provides ground zero - the starting place for the next generation of social scholars of education. A major accomplishment." - Norman K. Denzin, University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign The ethnography of education has been conducted by sociologists and anthropologists, largely in self-contained and self-referential ways. This book celebrates the continuities and the strengths of ethnographic research on education in formal and non-formal settings, deliberately transgressing the sociology/anthropology divide. Education is broadly defined to cover many settings other than schools, in many countries, for many age-groups. The book is structured thematically, including chapters on movement and mobilities, memorials and memories, time and timescapes, bodies, and performativities, multi-sensory research, and narratives. Strategies for designing innovative ethnographic projects, and for fighting familiarity are provided.
Key Topics in Second Language Acquisition
by Vivian Cook David SingletonThis textbook offers an introductory overview of eight hotly-debated topics in second language acquisition research. It offers a glimpse of how SLA researchers have tried to answer common questions about second language acquisition rather than being a comprehensive introduction to SLA research. Each chapter comprises an introductory discussion of the issues involved and suggestions for further reading and study. The reader is asked to consider the issues based on their own experiences, thus allowing them to compare their own intuitions and experiences with established research findings and gain an understanding of methodology. The topics are treated independently so that they can be read in any order that interests the reader.
Key to Blue Workbook: A Complete Course For Young Writers, Aspiring Rhetoricians, And Anyone Else Who Needs To Understand How English Works (Grammar for the Well-Trained Mind #9)
by Susan Wise BauerThe Key to the Blue Workbook gives clear, thoroughly-explained answers to all exercises in the Blue Workbook, one of four workbooks in the Grammar for the Well-Trained Mind series, providing detailed, well-designed exercises in the correct use of English grammar. The Key to the Blue Workbook gives clear, thoroughly-explained answers to all exercises in the Blue Workbook, one of four non-sequential books in the Grammar for the Well-Trained Mind series, providing detailed, well-designed exercises in the correct use of English grammar. The Key, along with the accompanying Blue Workbook and the Core Instructor Text, make up Grammar for the Well-Trained Mind: a complete course that takes students from basic definitions (“A noun is the name of a person, place, thing, or idea”) through advanced sentence structure and analysis, all the grammar skills needed to write and speak with eloquence and confidence. This innovative program combines the three essential elements of language learning: understanding and memorizing rules (prescriptive teaching), repeated exposure to examples of how those rules are used (descriptive instruction), and practice using those rules in exercises and in writing (practical experience). Each year, parents and teachers go through the dialogue, rules, and examples in the Core Instructor Text; students follow along in the Workbook. This repetition solidifies the concepts, definitions, and examples in the student’s mind. There are four Workbooks, one for each year. Each Workbook contains the same rules and examples, but four completely different sets of exercises and assignments, allowing students to develop a wide-ranging knowledge of how the rules and examples are put to use in writing. Each Key to the Workbooks provides not only answers, but also explanations for the parent/instructor, and guidance as to when the answers might be ambiguous (as, in English, they often are). All of the rules covered, along with the repeated examples for each, are assembled for ongoing reference in the Comprehensive Handbook of Rules (soon to be renamed as The Grammar Guidebook). Every step of the sentence diagramming process is gathered for reference, along with illustrations, in The Diagramming Dictionary. These will become the student’s indispensable guide to writing through high school, into college and beyond. Step-by-step instruction takes students from the most basic concepts through advanced grammatical concepts such as modal and hortative verbs and multiple functions of noun clauses. Extensive diagramming exercises reinforce the rules and help technical and visual learners to understand and use the English language effectively. Each step of the diagramming process is illustrated and thoroughly explained to the student. Text for examples and exercises are drawn from great works of literature, as well as from well-written nonfiction texts in science, mathematics, and the social sciences. Regular review is built into each year of work. The Key accompanies one of four non-sequential workbooks, each containing new exercises that allow students to practice and apply the grammar principles under study.

Key to the Science of Theology: An Introduction to the Christian Principles of Spiritual Philosophy, Religion, Law and Government
by Parley P. PrattKey to the Science of Theology by Parley P. Pratt is a seminal work that offers a unique and comprehensive exploration of theology from a Latter-day Saint (LDS) perspective. Originally published in 1855, the book reflects Pratt’s pioneering vision of theology not merely as a system of faith but as a science—a discipline governed by divine laws and eternal truths. A leading figure in early Mormonism, Pratt presents a bold synthesis of philosophy, religion, and governance, aiming to illuminate the deeper principles that govern both spiritual and temporal realms.In this work, Pratt discusses key Christian doctrines, including the nature of God, the role of Jesus Christ, the importance of revelation, and the eternal potential of humanity. He emphasizes the idea that spiritual knowledge is acquired through obedience to divine laws, portraying theology as a living, dynamic pursuit of truth. Pratt also addresses themes such as the resurrection, spiritual gifts, the afterlife, and the eternal progression of souls, offering a profound vision of the purpose of human existence.Beyond theology, Pratt’s writings extend into practical matters of law and government, reflecting the Mormon belief in the integration of spiritual principles with societal order. He argues that true religion encompasses all aspects of life—personal, communal, and governmental—each governed by eternal laws that promote peace, justice, and freedom.Key to the Science of Theology remains a thought-provoking text for those interested in the relationship between faith and reason. Pratt’s innovative blend of theology and philosophy challenges readers to see religion as a pursuit of knowledge governed by universal truths. For students of LDS theology, philosophy, or religious thought, this work offers a fascinating insight into the early development of Mormon beliefs and the visionary spirit that continues to shape the faith today.
