The Praise of Musicke 1586 An Edition with Commentary

The Praise of Musicke 1586 An Edition with Commentary

This volume provides the first printed critical edition of The Praise of Musicke (1586) keeping the original text intact and accompanied by an analytical commentary. Against the Puritan attacks on liturgical music The Praise of Musicke the first apologetic treatise on music in English epitomizes the Renaissance defence of music in civil and religious life. While existing studies of The Praise of Musicke are limited to the question of authorship the present volume scrutinizes its musical discourse which recapitulates major issues in the ancient philosophy and theology of music considering the contemporary practice of sacred and secular music. Through an interdisciplinary analysis of The Praise of Musicke combining historical musicology with philosophical theology this study situates the treatise and its author within the wider historical intellectual and religious context of musical polemics and apologetics of the English Reformation thereby appraising its significance in the history of musical theory and literature. The book throws fresh light on this substantial but neglected treatise that presents with critical insights the most learned discussion of music from classical antiquity to the Renaissance and Reformation era. In doing so it offers a new interpretation of the treatise which marks a milestone in the history of musical apologetics. | The Praise of Musicke 1586 An Edition with Commentary

Statistical Power Analysis A Simple and General Model for Traditional and Modern Hypothesis Tests Fifth Edition

Statistical Power Analysis A Simple and General Model for Traditional and Modern Hypothesis Tests Fifth Edition

Statistical Power Analysis explains the key concepts in statistical power analysis and illustrates their application in both tests of traditional null hypotheses (that treatments or interventions have no effect in the population) and in tests of the minimum-effect hypotheses (that the population effects of treatments or interventions are so small that they can be safely treated as unimportant). It provides readers with the tools to understand and perform power analyses for virtually all the statistical methods used in the social and behavioral sciences. Brett Myors and Kevin Murphy apply the latest approaches of power analysis to both null hypothesis and minimum-effect testing using the same basic unified model. This book starts with a review of the key concepts that underly statistical power. It goes on to show how to perform and interpret power analyses and the ways to use them to diagnose and plan research. We discuss the uses of power analysis in correlation and regression in the analysis of experimental data and in multilevel studies. This edition includes new material and new power software. The programs used for power analysis in this book have been re-written in R a language that is widely used and freely available. The authors include R codes for all programs and we have also provided a web-based app that allows users who are not comfortable with R to perform a wide range of analyses using any computer or device that provides access to the web. Statistical Power Analysis helps readers design studies diagnose existing studies and understand why hypothesis tests come out the way they do. The fifth edition includes updates to all chapters to accommodate the most current scholarship as well as recalculations of all examples. This book is intended for graduate students and faculty in the behavioral and social sciences; researchers in other fields will find the concepts and methods laid out here valuable and applicable to studies in many domains. | Statistical Power Analysis A Simple and General Model for Traditional and Modern Hypothesis Tests Fifth Edition

Data Analysis A Model Comparison Approach To Regression ANOVA and Beyond Third Edition

Data Analysis: A Model Comparison Approach to Regression ANOVA and Beyond is an integrated treatment of data analysis for the social and behavioral sciences. It covers all of the statistical models normally used in such analyses such as multiple regression and analysis of variance but it does so in an integrated manner that relies on the comparison of models of data estimated under the rubric of the general linear model. Data Analysis also describes how the model comparison approach and uniform framework can be applied to models that include product predictors (i. e. interactions and nonlinear effects) and to observations that are nonindependent. Indeed the analysis of nonindependent observations is treated in some detail including models of nonindependent data with continuously varying predictors as well as standard repeated measures analysis of variance. This approach also provides an integrated introduction to multilevel or hierarchical linear models and logistic regression. Finally Data Analysis provides guidance for the treatment of outliers and other problematic aspects of data analysis. It is intended for advanced undergraduate and graduate level courses in data analysis and offers an integrated approach that is very accessible and easy to teach. Highlights of the third edition include: a new chapter on logistic regression; expanded treatment of mixed models for data with multiple random factors; updated examples; an enhanced website with PowerPoint presentations and other tools that demonstrate the concepts in the book; exercises for each chapter that highlight research findings from the literature; data sets R code and SAS output for all analyses; additional examples and problem sets; and test questions. | Data Analysis A Model Comparison Approach To Regression ANOVA and Beyond Third Edition

Handbook of Parenting Volume 3: Being and Becoming a Parent Third Edition

Handbook of Parenting Volume 3: Being and Becoming a Parent Third Edition

This highly anticipated third edition of the Handbook of Parenting brings together an array of field-leading experts who have worked in different ways toward understanding the many diverse aspects of parenting. Contributors to the Handbook look to the most recent research and thinking to shed light on topics every parent professional and policymaker wonders about. Parenting is a perennially hot topic. After all everyone who has ever lived has been parented and the vast majority of people become parents themselves. No wonder bookstores house shelves of how-to parenting books and magazine racks in pharmacies and airports overflow with periodicals that feature parenting advice. However almost none of these is evidence-based. The Handbook of Parenting is. Period. Each chapter has been written to be read and absorbed in a single sitting and includes historical considerations of the topic a discussion of central issues and theory a review of classical and modern research and forecasts of future directions of theory and research. Together the five volumes in the Handbook cover Children and Parenting the Biology and Ecology of Parenting Being and Becoming a Parent Social Conditions and Applied Parenting and the Practice of Parenting. Volume 3 Being and Becoming a Parent considers a large cast of characters responsible for parenting each with her or his own customs and agenda and examines what the psychological characteristics and social interests of those individuals reveal about what parenting is. Chapters in Part I on The Parent show just how rich and multifaceted is the constellation of children’s caregivers. Considered first are family systems and then successively mothers and fathers coparenting and gatekeeping between parents adolescent parenting grandparenting and single parenthood divorced and remarried parenting lesbian and gay parents and finally sibling caregivers and nonparental caregiving. Parenting also draws on transient and enduring physical personality and intellectual characteristics of the individual. The chapters in Part II on Becoming and Being a Parent consider the intergenerational transmission of parenting parenting and contemporary reproductive technologies the transition to parenthood and stages of parental development and then chapters turn to parents' well-being emotions self-efficacy cognitions and attributions as well as socialization personality in parenting and psychoanalytic theory. These features of parents serve many functions: they generate and shape parental practices mediate the effectiveness of parenting and help to organize parenting. | Handbook of Parenting Volume 3: Being and Becoming a Parent Third Edition

The Handbook of Attitudes Volume 1: Basic Principles 2nd Edition

The Handbook of Attitudes Volume 1: Basic Principles 2nd Edition

Attitudes are evaluations of people places things and ideas. They help us to navigate through a complex world. They provide guidance for decisions about which products to buy how to travel to work or where to go on vacation. They color our perceptions of others. Carefully crafted interventions can change attitudes and behavior. Yet attitudes beliefs and behavior are often formed and changed in casual social exchanges. The mere perception that other people favor something say rich people may be sufficient to make another person favor it. People’s own actions also influence their attitudes such that they adjust to be more supportive of the actions. People’s belief systems even change to align with and support their preferences which at its extreme is a form of denial for which people lack awareness. These two volumes provide authoritative critical surveys of theory and research about attitudes beliefs persuasion and behavior from key authors in these areas. The first volume covers theoretical notions about attitudes the beliefs and behaviors to which they are linked and the degree to which they are held outside of awareness. It also discusses motivational and cultural determinants of attitudes influences of attitudes on behavior and communication and persuasion. The second volume covers applications to measurement behavior prediction and interventions in the areas of cancer HIV substance use diet and exercise as well as in politics intergroup relations aggression migrations advertising accounting education and the environment. | The Handbook of Attitudes Volume 1: Basic Principles 2nd Edition
