Book Description
`This is a great book for students, both for classroom use and to keep on their bookshelves once they graduate′ - Gale Spencer, Binghamton University Conducting Research Literature Reviews, Second Edition shows readers how to identify, interpret, and analyze published and unpublished research literature. Through the use of checklists, case examples, and exercises, author Arlene Fink unravels the intricacies of * Selecting questions to maximize the efficiency of the review * Identifying subject headings and key words for electronic searches * Identifying the most appropriate databases, including supplementing computer and Web-based searches * Dealing with unpublished studies * Setting inclusion and exclusion criteria * Justifying methods for reviewing only the ′highest quality′ literature * Preparing a structured literature abstraction form * Ensuring the reliability and validity of the review * Synthesizing and reporting results * Conducting and evaluating descriptive literature reviews * How to understand and evaluate the principles of meta-analysis New to the Second Edition: * Flow diagrams to assist the reader in linking each step of the review to the contents of each chapter * New references and other online resources, including links to online literature reviews and meta-analyses * Guidance in choosing online public and private bibliographic databases for literature reviews * Tips for searching the web for research information The text also discusses the use of Boolean operators for simple and advanced searches and shows readers how to use bibliographic software to organize literature reviews and search ′The Virtual File Cabinet.′ It also describes how to synthesize the literature as a stand-alone report or as a component of a paper or proposal. This book is intended for anyone wants to research social, health, educational, and business issues. It is ideal for students, researchers, marketers, planners, and policymakers who design and manage public and private agencies, conduct research studies, and prepare strategic plans and grant proposals. Praise for the First Edition ′There is finally a book available that removes the mystery and guesswork from doing literature reviews. This is especially important for both graduate and undergraduate levels if you are asking the students to make judgments about the quality and applicability of articles they may read. This book is not only timely but also a valuable way to help students evaluate articles they find on the Internet.′ --Anita VanBrackle, Kennesaw State University

Consuming History
Author: Jerome de Groot
Publisher: Routledge
ISBN: 1134148933
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 305
Book Description
Non-academic history – ‘public history’ – is a complex, dynamic entity which impacts on the popular understanding of the past at all levels. In Consuming History, Jerome de Groot examines how society consumes history and how a reading of this consumption can help us understand popular culture and issues of representation. This book analyzes a wide range of cultural entities – from computer games to daytime television, from blockbuster fictional narratives such as Da Vinci Code to DNA genealogical tools – to analyze how history works in contemporary popular culture. Jerome de Groot probes how museums have responded to the heritage debate and the way in which new technologies have brought about a shift in access to history, from online game playing to internet genealogy. He discusses the often conflicted relationship between ‘public’ and academic history, and raises important questions about the theory and practice of history as a discipline. Whilst mainly focussing on the UK, the book also compares the experiences of the USA, France and Germany. Consuming History is an important and engaging analysis of the social consumption of history and offers an essential path through the debates for readers interested in history, cultural studies and the media.
