L.E.E. is a computer-based educational program designed primarily for English as a Second Language (ESL) instruction. The main goal of L.E.E. is to help you recognize the structural patterns of the English language and develop your writing skills at the sentence level.

In the late 1970s a new academic discipline was born: Translation Studies. We could not read literature in translation, it was argued, without asking ourselves if linguistic and cultural phenomena really were 'translatable' and exploring in some depth the concept of 'equivalence'.

Now, there's an easy-to-use guide that will help you use statistics in your everyday work or study. Experienced educators David Levine and David Stephan help you learn statistics using plain English and with a minimum of mathematics, but with many examples and worked-out problems. You'll benefit from reading a plain language definition for each statistical concept that is followed by an interpretation section that explains the importance of the concept and how you can apply the concept to solve problems. You'll learn about the common misconceptions about statistics that people make, allowing you to better use statistics in your own work. Reinforcing your learning, you'll review lists of real-life examples or applications of a concept or, for more advanced concepts, read complete solutions to statistical problems that include actual calculator and spreadsheet results and illustrate how you can apply the concept to your own problems.You'll also be able to 'test yourself' at the end of a chapter to review the concepts and methods that you learned in the chapter.
An international panel of experts from diverse specialties examine the idea of "evil" in a medical context, specifically a mental health setting, to consider how the concept can be usefully interpreted, and to elucidate its relationship to forensic psychiatry. The authors challenge the belief that the concept of "evil" plays no role in "scientific" psychiatry and is not helpful to our understanding of aberrant human thinking and behavior. Among the viewpoints up for debate are a consideration of organizations as evil structures, the "medicalization" of evil, destruction as a constructive choice, violence as a secular evil, talking about evil when it is not supposed to exist, and the influence of evil on forensic clinical practice. Among the highlights are a psychological exploration of the notion of "evil" and a variety of interesting research methods used to explore the nature of "evil."
It was Freidenberg's special genius that anticipated the structural and semiotic approaches to myth and literatue. Image and Concept develops the notion that with the transition from mythological thinking to formal-logical concepts came the appearance of literature. Inherited mythological forms were reinterpreted conceptually: causalized, ethicized, generalized, and abstracted.
