Abstract

The Handbook of Communication Skills is recognised as one of the core texts in the field of communication. This thoroughly revised and updated third edition arrives at a time of considerable growing interest in this area, with recent research showing the importance of communication skills for success in many walks of life. The book's core principle, that interpersonal communication can be conceptualized as a form of skilled activity, is examined in detail and a comprehensive transactional model of skilled communication is presented, which takes into account current conceptual and research perspectives. This book provides a comprehensive analysis of research, theory and practice in the key skill areas of communication, such as non-verbal communication, persuasion, leadership, assertiveness, self-disclosure, listening and negotiation. Each chapter is written by a recognised authority in that particular specialism, among them world leaders in their particular fields. In the ten years since the last edition, a large volume of research has been published and the text has been comprehensively updated by reviewing this wealth of data. In addition a new chapter on persuasion has been added - one of the areas of most rapid growth in social psychology and communication. The Handbook of Communication Skills represents the most significant single contribution to the literature in this domain. It will be of continued interest to researchers and students in psychology and communication, as well as in a variety of other contexts, from vocational courses in health, business and education, to many others such as nursing and social work whose day-to-day work is dependent on effective interpersonal skills. Review: 'This book can be described as 'thoughtful' as it takes into account theoretical, conceptual, functional and empirical perspectives when describing the literature base. The text links historical origins of each topic with contemporary perspectives ... Therefore, the audience can easily orientate themselves with each topic discussed. An abundance of scientific research studies are cited within the book and the dissemination and relevance of their results thoroughly justified and explained ... This book enjoys specialist contributions from leading experts within the field, whose academic and practical diversity adds strength to the text. The authors offer a variety of disciplinary knowledge, including psychological, communicative, nursing, and business. Thus, it will naturally appeal to and capture the attention of a wide audience.' - Helena Young, Assistant Psychologist at St. Andrew's Hospital, Northampton, in The Psychologist, November 2006 'The Handbook of Communication Skills was first published in 1986 and has now been on Routledge's best-seller list for 20 years. It has received widespread recognition as the key text in the field of interpersonal communication, bringing together the scholarship of notable writers from Europe, the USA and Australia. This thoroughly revised and updated third edition arrives at a time of considerable growing interest in this area, with recent research showing the importance of communication skills for success in many walks of life. This new edition will mean that The Handbook of Communication Skills will continue to be a leading communication text.' - Dr Colleen Mills, University of Canterbury, Christchurch, New Zealand 'Meticulously and thoroughly researched, the scholarship reflected in The Handbook of Communication Skills is excellent. Important communication skills are reviewed with fresh perspectives that integrate both the European and American thrusts. Consequently, the authors give the readers a more thorough grounding than occurs in most textbooks.' - Cal W. Downs, Professor Emeritus, Department of Communication Studies, University of Kansas, USA 'In this new updated edition of The Handbook of Communication Skills, Owen Hargie presents twenty chapters on both the theory and practice of communication skills. The book is well written: clear and pacy. It is also impressively erudite, with up-to-date references that do not in any way overburden the text. A most welcome contribution!' - Peter Bull, Department of Psychology, University of York 'In this book readers will find 'everything they want to know about communication but never dared to ask'. This book clearly explains that the way one communicates is not innate, but can be learnt. The Handbook has become a standard work for all who are engaged in communication skills training.' - Henk T. van der Molen, Professor of Psychology at the Institute of Psychology, Erasmus University Rotterdam, and Past President of the Dutch Psychological Association.

Abstract

This is a readable introduction for those with little previous knowledge of the subject. The theme of amplification is central to many branches of electronics. Consequently there is a large and confusing array of amplifier types intended for a wide range of applications. This book describes amplifier types, how they work, their properties, advantages and disadvantages, and applications. Amplifiers are treated with the minimum of mathematics and lots of illustrations.Owen Bishop is a prolific author of books for those interested in electronics, including experimenters, students and prac

Abstract

Simulation in healthcare education has a long history, yet in many ways, we have been reinventing the wheel during the last 25 years. Historically, simulators have been much more than simple models, and we can still learn from aspects of simulation used hundreds of years ago. This book gives a narrative history of the development of simulators from the early 1700s to the middle of the 20th century when simulation in healthcare appeared to all but die out. It is organized around the development of simulation in different countries and includes at the end a guide to simulators in museums and private collections throughout the world. The aim is to increase understanding of simulation in the professional education of healthcare providers by exploring the historical context of simulators that were developed in the past, what they looked like, how they were used, and examples of simulator use that led to significant harm and an erosion of standards. The book is addressed to the healthcare simulation community and historians of medicine. The latter in particular will appreciate the identification and use of historic sources written in Latin, German, Italian, French, Polish and Spanish as well as English.

Abstract

This book applies Owen’s unique genetic-social framework to the study of crime and criminal behaviour, with an emphasis on cybercrime. Moving beyond challenges which confront contemporary criminological theorizing such as: the stagnation of critical criminology, the relativistic nihilism of the ‘cultural turn’, posthumanism, and virtual criminology, the author codifies and ‘applies’ the latest version of the framework to the study of crime, both in and out of cyberspace.  Drawing upon evolutionary psychology, behavioural genetics and the philosophy of Heidegger, he introduces new terms such as ‘Neuro-Agency’ and notions of Embodied Cognition into criminological theorizing. Adopting a soft compatibilist approach to free-will, and Realist ontology, Owen’s meta-theoretical focus provides a new direction for criminological theorizing, in particular in the direction of the conceptualization and prediction of cyber violence. Exciting and timely, this book will appeal to scholars and advanced students of criminology, law, sociology, social policy, psychology, philosophy, policing and forensic investigation.
