Politics: An Introduction offers an accessible, comprehensive entry into political studies. Taking a comparative approach, authors George MacLean and Duncan Wood explore some essential questions of politics: Who has power in society, and why? Why is conflict so prevalent in the world today? How is wealth distributed, and why does such inequality exist? The text emphasizes Canadian content while maintaining an international scope, and ties theory to practice with current examples from Canada and around the world. Beginning with a look at the fundamental nature of politics and the field of political studies, students are guided through the basics of ideology and institutions of political studies before they are introduced to more complex topics. These subject areas include the importance of government, political systems, political participation and culture, and a 'case study' look at politics in 'developed' and 'developing' states. The final section of the book takes the study of politics to the world stage, examining the nature of the international system, the complicated issue of global insecurity, and the dynamics of international political economy. The last chapter covers applications and options for students in politics, responding to the important question, Where do we go from here?

Hermine Hug-Hellmuth was the world's first practising child psychoanalyst, making use of systematic child observation from a psychoanalytic point of view and applying psychoanalysis to education. A number of factors - her close ties with education, the unfortunate circumstances of her murder by a nephew, and her own intensely private personality - have contributed to her relative obscurity. Working from primary archival material, the authors have compiled a detailed coverage of Hug-Hellmuth's life and work. In the first part of the book they present a brief biography, pieced together from the few extant descriptions of Hug-Hellmuth as a person. In the second part they provide a selection of published but previously untranslated material in historical sequence. An epilogue summarizes Hug-Hellmuth's contributions to psychoanalytic theory and practice, drawing comparisons with the early work of Anna Freud and Melanie Klein.

There are many books covering Fibonacci from an artistic and historical point of view and almost as many suggesting that Fibonacci retracements and numbers can be successfully applied to financial market time series. What is missing is a book that addresses the common errors in using screen based Fibonacci (and Gann and other tools). The book is a critical exploration of Fibonacci numbers, retracements, projections, timeframes and fanlines and their current usage within the financial markets by technical analysts. Although they can be extremely effective analytical tools when used appropriately, mistakes in usage can be extremely costly from a financial and credibility viewpoint. George MacLean takes a brief look at the history of Fibonacci and Gann, before providing a full account of their applications in financial markets, including fixed income, equity, foreign exchange, commodities and indexes. In particular, he draws attention to the overuse and misuse of easily applied computer packages available to professional and amateur traders.

Charles Simeon was well known among his peers for many things including being one of the first among his set to purchase the new invention of an umbrella. He was smart and well turned out and enjoyed all the pleasures that life offered a well educated young man in the 1700s studying at Cambridge University. His interest in religion, however, didn't go much beyond trying to salve his conscience by good works. Yet, one day at the age of 19when he was preparing to take communion, he realised his sin could only be dealt with by transferring the guilt of it to another - the Lord Jesus Christ.With this realisation his heart was flooded with gospel peace and from that day on Charles Simeon was set on a remarkable pathway to spread the good news of Salvation through preaching God's Word.&nbsp;
