Academic Writing
Most international students need to write essays and reports for exams and coursework. Yet writing good academic English is one of the most demanding tasks students face. This new edition of Academic Writing has been fully revised to help students reach this goal. Clearly organised, the course explains the writing process from start to finish. Each stage is demonstrated and practised, from selecting suitable sources, reading, notemaking and planning through to re-writing and proof-reading.
Advanced Macroeconomics
The fifth edition of Romer's Advanced Macroeconomics continues its tradition as the standard text and the starting point for graduate macroeconomics courses and helps lay the groundwork for students to begin doing research in macroeconomics and monetary economics. Romer presents the major theories concerning the central questions of macroeconomics. The theoretical analysis is supplemented by examples of relevant empirical work, illustrating the ways that theories can be applied and tested. In areas ranging from economic growth and short-run fluctuations to the natural rate of unemployment and monetary policy, formal models are used to present and analyze key ideas and issues.
The book has been extensively revised to incorporate important new topics and new research, eliminate inessential material, and further improve the presentation.
Advanced Research Methods for Applied Psychology
This is the first comprehensive guide to the range of research methods available to applied psychologists. Ideally suited to students and researchers alike, and covering both quantitative and qualitative techniques, the book takes readers on a journey from research design to final reporting.
The book is divided into four sections, with chapters written by leading international researchers working in a range of applied settings:
- Getting Started
- Data Collection
- Data Analysis
- Research Dissemination
With coverage of sampling and ethical issues, and chapters on everything from experimental and quasi-experimental designs to longitudinal data collection and focus groups, the book provides a concise overview not only of the options available for applied research, but also of how to make sense of the data produced. It includes chapters on organizational interventions and the use of digital technologies, and concludes with chapters on how to publish your research, whether it's a thesis, journal article or organisational report.
This is a must-have book for anyone conducting psychological research in an applied setting.
Applied Corporate Finance
This book was written originally to fulfill a need that conventional corporate finance books were not filling - to provide practical and succinct advice on how to do corporate finance rather than debate theory. It was intended for both practitioners who have little patience for extended discourses on models and assumptions and for instructors/students who wanted to focus on applying corporate finance to real companies.
The book tells a story, which essentially summarizes the corporate finance view of the world. It classifies all decisions made by any business into three groups—decisions on where to invest the resources or funds that the business has raised, either internally or externally (the investment decision), decisions on where and how to raise funds to finance these investments (the financing decision) and decisions on how much and in what form to return funds back to the owners (dividend decision).

Children's Mathematics
Maulfry Worthington | Elizabeth Carruthers
′In Case Study 5 (a grassroots ′Children′s Mathematics Network group′) the initiative supported the participants in their professional change by giving them a space for the detailed and joint consideration of children′s mathematical thinking. Another significant feature of this initiative is its focus on careful consideration and analysis of children′s mathematics, and the ways in which professionals can support and encourage the children′s mathematical thinking and reasoning… The standard of the mathematical understanding, thinking and reasoning that the displays revealed was far higher than the specified curriculum objectives for children of this age…′ - Researching Effective CPD in Mathematics Education (RECME) project: (NCETM, 2009)

Financial Management
MICHAEL C. EHRHARDT | EUGENE F. BRIGHAM
When we wrote the first edition of Financial Management: Theory and Practice, we had four goals:
(1) to create a text that would help students make better financial decisions;
(2) to provide a book that could be used in the introductory MBA course, but one that was complete enough for use as a reference text in follow-on case courses and after graduation;
(3) to motivate students by demonstrating that finance is both interesting and relevant;
(4) to make the book clear enough so that students could go through the material without wasting either their time or their professor's time trying to figure out what we were saying.
The collapse of the sub-prime mortgage market, the financial crisis, and the globaleconomic crisis make it more important than ever for students and managers to understand the role that finance plays in a global economy, in their own companies, and in their own lives. So in addition to the four goals listed above, this edition has a fifth goal, to prepare students for a changed world.
