Book Description
Nearly half of the fourteen (+ one) stories in Seeking the Link have appeared elsewhere in print. Several won awards, of the local variety. Each is a short study in detail of a few moments in the lives of the ordinary people who inhabit the words. These often atmospheric stories are at turns quirky, moody, nostalgic, or pleasingly silly. All are written in a voice Ethan Mordden described as "surprisingly self assured." There's something to please everyone in Capehart's debut fiction collection.Two of these stories appeared in the Dayton Daily News "Leaving" and "Accidents." Two appeared in the online edition of the Dayton Daily News "Back Roads" and "Working to See the Cup." "Skipping Stones" appeared in The Wooster Review. "Pictures" was published first in Christopher Street and then translated into Dutch and published under the title "foto's" in Uitkomst.

The Turn
Author: Peter Ingwersen
Publisher: Springer Science & Business Media
ISBN: 1402038518
Category : Computers
Languages : en
Pages : 456
Book Description
T The Turn analyzes the research of information seeking and retrieval (IS&R) and proposes a new direction of integrating research in these two areas: the fields should turn off their separate and narrow paths and construct a new avenue of research. An essential direction for this avenue is context as given in the subtitle Integration of Information Seeking and Retrieval in Context. Other essential themes in the book include: IS&R research models, frameworks and theories; search and works tasks and situations in context; interaction between humans and machines; information acquisition, relevance and information use; research design and methodology based on a structured set of explicit variables - all set into the holistic cognitive approach. The present monograph invites the reader into a construction project - there is much research to do for a contextual understanding of IS&R. The Turn represents a wide-ranging perspective of IS&R by providing a novel unique research framework, covering both individual and social aspects of information behavior, including the generation, searching, retrieval and use of information. Regarding traditional laboratory information retrieval research, the monograph proposes the extension of research toward actors, search and work tasks, IR interaction and utility of information. Regarding traditional information seeking research, it proposes the extension toward information access technology and work task contexts. The Turn is the first synthesis of research in the broad area of IS&R ranging from systems oriented laboratory IR research to social science oriented information seeking studies.

Seeking Safety
Author: Lisa M. Najavits
Publisher: Guilford Publications
ISBN: 1462548571
Category : Psychology
Languages : en
Pages : 419
Book Description
This manual presents the first empirically studied, integrative treatment approach developed specifically for co-occurring PTSD and substance abuse. For persons with this prevalent and difficult-to-treat dual diagnosis, the most urgent clinical need is to establish safety--to work toward discontinuing substance use, letting go of dangerous relationships, and gaining control over such extreme symptoms as dissociation and self-harm. The manual is divided into 25 specific units or topics, addressing a range of different cognitive, behavioral, and interpersonal domains. Each topic provides highly practical tools and techniques to engage patients in treatment; teach "safe coping skills" that apply to both disorders; and restore ideals that have been lost, including respect, care, protection, and healing. Structured yet flexible, topics can be conducted in any order and in a range of different formats and settings. The volume is designed for maximum ease of use with a large-size format and helpful reproducible therapist sheets and handouts, which purchasers can also download and print at the companion webpage. See also the author's self-help guide Finding Your Best Self, Revised Edition: Recovery from Addiction, Trauma, or Both, an ideal client recommendation.
