This book is designed to assist veterinary-medicine or veterinary technology students studying identification of common breeds of domestic animals. The goal is to provide the student with basic information about each breed. It is not intended to be a diagnostic tool or be a definitive answer to potential problems. The book is laid out utilizing the American Kennel Club (AKC) grouping of dogs. They divided 189 breeds of dogs into seven groups. These groups are generally based on what the breed was developed to do for man. The eight groups are Herding, Hound, Non-Sporting, Sporting, Terrier, Toy, and Working. The Cat Fanciersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Association recognizes 41 pedigree breeds for showing and are grouped as Longhair Specialty Breeds or Shorthair Specialty Breeds. Birds are grouped by passerine or parrot species and in alphabetical order. Pocket pets follow in alphabetical order. Every breed or species of animal seems to have a group of people who are dedicated to the preservation and continuation of the breed or species. Information about breed characteristics, behaviors, and diseases was gathered from these and other sites and then compiled in a consistent format so that the student can find information quickly. Each animal will have a short paragraph on its origin or domestication, followed by general characteristics, and finally a list of often-seen genetic diseases or conditions. Animals come in a variety of colors and color patterns which are often used to identify a specific breed or species. Each animal will have a Quick Facts Table that will provide the life span, height (if available), weight, coat color(s), coat type(s), and for the dogs general head, ear, and tail shape. There is also a Comparison Chart at the beginning of each chapter that will indicate which breeds or species are further discussed in the following chapter. There are a number of terms that are also species specific. Each chapter will contain a nomenclature chart that will include terms used to identify genus species, male, female, offspring, group terms, and parturition terms. In addition, other terms will be in bold type throughout the chapters with the definitions available in the glossary. Finally this work is not all-inclusive of every known breed or species of dog, cat, avian, or pocket pet out in the world! It would take several volumes to accomplish that job. What is in this body of work are those species that are fairly common or are regionally common in the United States that you may see in your career in veterinary medicine.

ART, ART HISTORY & DESIGN

Perspectives on Humanity in the Fine Arts takes a historical approach to western art and helps readers envision times and places by studying their unique forms of artistic expression. Readers first learn about the elemental principles of the four basic arts: visual art, music, theater, and dance, as expressions of the vibrancy of different cultural environments. They then learn to understand the arts in their geographical and historical contexts, as the text immerses the student in the fabric of western cultural history through artistic experience. Within the historical domain of each era, a rich variety of visual and performing arts examples brings the period and its culture to life. The arts offer a way for the reader to understand each culture’s ideals, aspirations, and search for perfection. By studying a diverse grouping of arts within a specific geographical and historical niche, the reader can experience each culture as a contemporary participant might. Areas covered include prehistory, the ancient Near East and Egypt, classical Greece and Rome, the Byzantine Empire, Romanesque, Gothic, Renaissance, baroque, neoclassical, romantic and twentiethcentury art forms, and others. Readers come to understand the position and impact of art as expressions of a culture’s soul in the development of western history.

The Aesthetics of Art: Understanding What We See teaches readers how to look at and understand art, and how to describe the art they see. The book begins with a review of the basic rules of perspective from the Italian Renaissance, Leonardo Da Vinci’s scientific and mathematical concepts, Joseph Alber’s theory of color, and Rudolph Arnheim’s visual perceptions. This understanding of foundational concepts prepares readers to perceive the aesthetics of art as it transitions to abstraction at the end of the 19th Century. Readers then explore art through movements such as Impressionism, Cubism, Futurism, Constructivism, and Fauvism. They examine Dadaism, Surrealism, gestalt theory, and abstract expressionism. Postmodernism, contemporary, neo-contemporary, photography, graffiti, and public art are also explored. Artistic movements are studied through a variety of representations such as painting, prints, collage/ assemblage, and new media. Each chapter includes a writing assignment, critical questions, further readings, and ideas for hands-on activities so that readers can explore art through experience. The book includes essential terms and lists of styles and artists.

It serves as a reminder that virtual teams can provide a transformative and meaningful experience with amazing results.

A LOOK INSIDE Virtual reality, virtual space, virtual organizations, virtual teams; the word ‘virtual’ is today’s organizational buzzword. Virtual is there but not there, and this is exactly what Alice experienced with the Cheshire Cat in Wonderland. So, the virtual world really is not as new an idea as some of us might have thought. One of the fastest-growing, high-tech office trends today is ‘virtual teams.’ These teams cross time, space, and cultural boundaries and do so effectively with the use of technology. … What are the characteristics of a high-impact team? Why do some teams fail to meet their goals? In what ways are these types of teams similar and different? These are the driving questions required to spark our virtual team to greatness. Greatness can be measured in the team serving as a legacy for those behind them. … I was on a virtual strategic planning team for a $190 million building distribution company. We were charged with developing and implementing a company-wide strategic plan. Our team was composed of a cross-functional team from ten distribution centers across the country. As a result, our virtual team had to find time to meet, plan and implement the strategic plan. We needed to be cognizant of varying work schedules, time zones and priorities. Although we met face-to-face two to four times annually, the main challenge was to find ways to engage the team in a virtual environment. These were huge hurdles to overcome! On the opportunity side of the equation, a successfully implemented strategic plan would increase competitive advantage, market penetration, product/service intelligence, employee engagement, customer relations and supplier diversification, among others. When we performed in an extraordinary manner, it was due to having attributes such as strong leadership, quality communication and shared purpose. During the times when our performance lacked, it was typically due to lack of communication, other competing interests and fear of the unknown (e.g. the first time the company was putting together a meaningful strategic plan). Clearly, the art and science of managing a virtual team comes into play. Managers need to have solid technical skills plus strong interpersonal and innovation skills to transition the team through the virtual process of achieving goals. The 7 Essentials for Managing Virtual Teams was developed to provide virtual team managers with a road map to chart success. While today’s virtual team managers have a myriad of technology options, the reality is that much of virtual team success is grounded in human interaction. As my Uncle Hank once told me, “Dana, you need the right tool to do the job and that includes the ‘right’ hand.” In other words, you can have the most dynamic online interface in the world but if people are not willing to turn it on, then it is useless. In the spirit of Uncle Hank’s insights, I have created the 7 Essentials for Managing Virtual Teams to maximize team performance.

NEGOTIATING WORKPLACE RELATIONSHIPS By Vincent R. Waldron and Jeffrey W. Kassing 320 Pages | $72.95 | ISBN: 978-1-5165-2272-9 | ÂŠ 2018

Negotiating Workplace Relationships teaches readers how to navigate the ethically challenging and professionally risky situations they are likely to encounter in their working lives. Grounded in both classic and contemporary studies, this narrative-based text introduces a theoretical framework and pragmatic communication strategies for mitigating personal risk and optimizing relational and organizational outcomes. Throughout the text, readers learn how power differences, normative pressures, performance obligations, and other social, relational, and ethical factors complicate workplace encounters. Each chapter features real-world scenarios that illustrate unique challenges such as proposing innovations, responding to harassment, managing workplace romance, offering criticism, and dealing with difference. Readers are provided with current research on each communicative challenge, then explore possible responses using the Risk Negotiation Cycle. Negotiating Workplace Relationships features vivid examples that encourage critical thinking and lively discussion on the topic of communication in the workplace. Vincent R. Waldron is a professor of communication studies and Lincoln Professor of Applied Ethics at Arizona State University, where he teaches courses on communication in personal and professional relationships. He earned his Ph.D. in communication from Ohio State University and his M.A. and B.A. in speech communication and psychology from the University of Arizona.

A LOOK INSIDE Preface Chapter Chapter Chapter Chapter Chapter Chapter Chapter Chapter Chapter Chapter Chapter Index

This book helps readers understand the crucial role that communication plays in managing, even optimizing, the risky situations that nearly all of us encounter at work. And it focuses on the communication practices that create work relationships that are productive, satisfying, and ethically sound. By risky situations, we mean workplace encounters where communication really matters because something important— identity, career, relationships, organizational productivity—is endangered if we fail to communicate well. Some of these encounters have highly significant personal implications: How do I manage a workplace romance? Deal with a difficult team member? Express my most intense emotions? Others have organizationwide consequences. How can I promote innovation in a changeresistant organizational culture? How should employees respond to management’s unethical conduct? What communication behaviors facilitate cohesion and productivity in a culturally diverse workplace? This book starts with the idea that the management of risk is, among other things, a communicative phenomenon. It is through communication that risk is detected, assessed, transformed, and maintained at desirable levels. After all, if home buyers had asked more penetrating questions, lenders explained risks more clearly, and brokers communicated more transparently about derivatives, economic losses might have been mitigated. Negotiating Workplace Relationships presents nine chapters, each detailing a kind of risky encounter likely to be faced when readers enter the workforce. …Negotiating Workplace Relationships is an engaging, research-based text designed for readers who will soon be entering the workforce. It argues for the importance of individual and relational communication behavior, even as it prepares readers to be responsible organizational citizens in a world of sweeping cultural and organizational change. It brings new meaning to the old adage: nothing risked, nothing gained. 1: A Model for Managing Workplace Risk 2: Delivering and Seeking Feedback 3: Managing Emotion 4: Resisting Bullying and Harassment 5: Navigating Work Relationships 6: Monitoring Organizational Romance 7: Dealing with Difference 8: Expressing Dissent 9: Proposing New Ideas 10: Responding to Difficult Team Members 11: Risk and Next-Generation Challenges

Rooted in scholarly research from diverse disciplines, Communicating in Groups and Teams: Strategic Interactions explains group communication concepts through clear examples based on representative group interactions. Rather than pure expository text, the book features dialogue to demonstrate how group dynamics unfold. Early chapters describe the importance of groups and teams, and how communication is integral to these social forms. The book then describes and explains the core processes for which each group member is responsible, such as sharing information and managing conflict. The final chapter guides readers through participating in, navigating, and facilitating group interactions. The book uses a wide range of group types – such as student problem-solving groups, organizational work teams, health care teams, family groups, community groups, and sports teams – to illustrate concepts and present skills grounded in research and theory. Each chapter includes a “Theory Stand-out” that closely examines the theory-research link, a message and meaning section that analyzes transcripts of authentic interactions, and skill-building exercises and activities that allow readers to apply what they are learning.

UNDERSTANDING COMMUNICATION AND AGING Developing Knowledge and Awareness By Jake Harwood 340 Pages | $101.95 | ISBN: 978-1-5165-2129-6 | ÂŠ 2018 Understanding Communication and Aging: Developing Knowledge and Awareness explores communication in older adulthood, particularly in the areas of interpersonal, intercultural, and mass communication, and includes coverage of communication using new technology. The book synthesizes existing research, and builds a case for more positive attitudes towards aging and for the power of communication to shape such attitudes. A succinct mix of the conceptual and the practical, Understanding Communication and Aging acknowledges the importance of theory yet also emphasizes that communication and aging is inherently an applied field of study. This approach is reinforced through discussion of applied issues such as health communication and age-related prejudice and discrimination, all supported with concrete examples. Chapters include profiles of older adults and their significant achievements, literary and artistic depictions of aging, and information boxes that discuss myths about aging and keys to aging successfully. There are also numerous exercises and activities to engage readers in learning actively. Jake Harwood earned his Ph.D. in communication at the University of California, Santa Barbara.

FOOD SCIENCE FOOD SCIENCE

Have you ever dabbled in home-brewing, but your beer didn’t turn out quite right? Or wondered what scientific factors are behind the awesome flavor of your favorite IPA or kolsch? This book unlocks the secrets of beer brewing with science! Microbrewing Science provides easy-to-follow instructions that will have you fermenting homemade beer in no time, plus the scientific knowledge behind the brewing process that will provide you the confidence and knowhow to produce tasty, balanced brews like a pro. Infused with science-based tips, tricks, and in-depth explanations, this book will help you avoid common home-brewing mistakes, so you can create draughts you’re proud to share with friends and family. Based on his experience teaching an upper-division university course in brewing science, author and brewmaster Christopher L. Brown explains in detail the science behind the unique characteristics of various beer types, the importance of healthy yeast populations, sanitation and bottling, and the magic that occurs during the fermentation process. You’ll learn how to use advanced, specialized brewing equipment if you plan to invest in a robust home operation, as well as how to use common household items to streamline the brewing process or whip up beer on a modest budget. Whether new to home-brewing or looking to refine your craft, Microbrewing Science will help you take your brewmaster skills to the next level. Christopher L. Brown couldn’t have predicted his research and professional work in the endocrinology and development of larval fishes would segue into a passion for the science of high-quality home-brewing—but it did. His experience cultivating delicate marine microorganisms provided an ideal foundation for learning how to grow and nurture yeasts for beer production. After becoming a scienceminded brewmaster, Dr. Brown established and taught an upperdivision brewing science course for Florida International University’s School of Hospitality Management.

One can develop a sound knowledge base and a good deal of confidence through practice, skill-building, and a methodical program of training experiences. Part of that program, at least in this book, is the establishment of a manageable range of fundamental procedures and a set of simple and sensible habits. Most of the major pitfalls in brewing can be avoided by adopting proven techniques and by methodically recording details of the process and its results indelibly. Good, natural brewing starts with high standards of quality and freshness of ingredients, along with persistently close attention to temperature, specific gravity, and sanitation. To a large extent, the metabolic pathways of your yeasts will take care of themselves in the presence of the right materials and under the right environmental conditions. This approach—yeast husbandry—requires that you routinely make measurements, be observant and understanding about the biology of yeasts, and do a few calculations, but it will start you in the direction of becoming a competent and predictably excellent brewer. …The brewing activities outlined here are selected from our collegiate Brewing Science course, with the intention of enabling a serious beer-loving student to build a working knowledge of brewing methods, more familiarity with several fundamental styles of beer and ale, and a confident approach to crafting malt beverages. The partial mash method is emphasized here, using extracts as the main source of fermentable sugars with grains for body and flavor elements. …The basic idea is to gain firsthand experience with the sort of skills that some people gather during an apprenticeship or an academic experience but are more commonly acquired through a prolonged and more randomized series of home-brewing or hobby-brewing experiences that usually include some failures. It is also a goal of this text to provide experience with a range of classic beer styles to enable the learning brewer to develop competence in an assortment of worthwhile brewing methods.

A LOOK INSIDE Whatever your background, whatever your current circumstances, and whatever your purpose is in reading this book, we can guarantee one thing—you are a crisis survivor. You may have been one of the fortunate people who has only faced and surmounted developmental crises that mark the transition points between major phases of your life, or perhaps you have dealt with a life-threatening illness or accident. Maybe you have been a victim of sexual assault or other form of violence. Possibly, you have been through the sadness and grief of losing someone close to you. Perhaps you have survived a disaster, escaped the ravages of war as a refugee, or have a loved one who was deployed to serve in combat. Not only have you survived crises in your life, it is also likely that you have been able to thrive in many ways after coping with some of these challenges. You may be wiser now that you have gained some perspective about life’s dangers and rewards. You may be more confident about your ability to handle “the slings and arrows of outrageous fortune.” Perhaps you have grown closer to other people as you realized their importance to you. You may have developed a deeper commitment to certain values or have gained greater insight into the meaning of life. Whatever crises you face in your life, when you resolve them successfully, you grow as a person and go on to live life more deeply and meaningfully. These two assumptions—that everyone has survived crises and everyone has the potential to thrive after crises—are the foundation of successful crisis intervention. As a crisis intervener, you will be dealing with people as they confront situations that threaten their health, personal well-being, way of life, and even their lives. These situations pose both peril and promise. Your goal is to help people to survive the dangers and to thrive following these major turning points in their lives. This book is based on the growing literature documenting the resilience of people in dealing with crises. Research regarding a variety of traumas, catastrophes, and disasters has demonstrated that the vast majority of people in these situations successfully cope with these crises. More importantly, many studies have identified factors that promote a positive resolution. These research findings have important implications for designing evidence-informed crisis intervention practices. In the opening two chapters of this book, we introduce you to the principles of resilience and resolution. Throughout the remainder of the book, we return to these principles. Whether you are working with individuals, families, groups, or communities, it is vital that you believe in their resilience and that you focus your efforts on helping them achieve a successful resolution.

INTERPRETING BASIC CARDIAC DYSRHYTHMIAS WITHOUT HEARTACHE By Cheryl Miller 104 Pages | $56.95 | ISBN: 978-1-5165-0094-9 | ÂŠ 2018

Interpreting Basic Cardiac Dysrhythmias Without Heartache is a step by step guide on interpreting basic electrocardiogram (EKG) readings in adults. Students benefit from first understanding normal sinus rhythm, as well as basic dysrhythmias, and then applying this understanding to rhythms that are more advanced and difficult. The book discusses the conduction system of the heart and the purpose of the electrocardiogram. Students learn how to read EKG waveforms and interpret rates and pacing. The book also addresses sinus and atrial dysrhythmias, atrial-ventricular blocks, and ventricular dysrhythmias. Each section of the text includes quizzes that students can use to check their comprehension and progress. Physiology and pathophysiology as they pertain to each dysrhythmia are also addressed, as are common interventions and medications. Clear and concise, Interpreting Basic Cardiac Dysrhythmias Without Heartache is an ideal teaching tool for students in all levels of nursing programs as well as for practicing nurses needing to refresh their knowledge. The practical applicability of the information also makes this a useful guide for paramedics and emergency medical technicians.

CLINICAL CORRELATES IN ANATOMY AND PHYSIOLOGY By Mary Katherine Lockwood 162 Pages | $47.95 | ISBN: 978-1-5165-1848-7 | ÂŠ 2018

Clinical Correlates in Anatomy and Physiology is designed to address one of the challenges for allied health students to correlate the information introduced in basic science classes to the clinical problems they see in the field. A good clinician in allied health is knowledgeable in anatomy, physiology, pathology, and other science fields. They are able to quickly apply this knowledge to the clinical setting for good patient care. However, both students and instructors know that applying knowledge gleaned from basic science classes to their own clinical practice is not always easy. Using short vignettes and featuring new and updated information, the new edition of Clinical Correlates in Anatomy and Physiology illustrates clinical problems that align with the topics covered in a first year anatomy and physiology course. Students and instructors can use these vignettes to better understand the systems as they cover them in class. These illustrative examples pique student interest and serve as the basis for classroom discussion, as well as introduce the concepts of pathophysiology in the context of systems physiology. While designed for the allied health student, anyone with an interest in processes of health and disease will enjoy these short discussions illustrating clinical pathologies of systems physiology. Mary Katherine Lockwood received a B.S. in biology from Davidson College in North Carolina, an M.S. in physiology from the Pennsylvania State University, and a Ph.D. in public health with a concentration in nutrition and biological chemistry from the University of California, Los Angeles. Dr. Lockwood is a clinical associate professor in the Department of Molecular, Cellular, and Biomedical Sciences at the University of New Hampshire, where she teaches anatomy and physiology and clinical nutrition.

Intended for graduate-level introductory courses in nuclear physics and radiation interaction, Atoms, Nuclei, and Interactions of Ionizing Radiation with Matter gives students the foundation needed to study specialized subjects such as nuclear reactor physics, radiation transport methods, radiation detection, and radiation dosimetry. The text discusses the modern physics relevant to radiation interaction beginning with a condensed examination of nuclear physics and radioactive decay. There is an examination of nuclear reaction kinematics and how the different types of radiation engage in various types of nuclear or atomic interactions with matter. The interaction probability is discussed in term of “cross section.” Both classical mechanics and wave mechanics are used to derive the cross section formulas. Specific examples are given when classical mechanics breaks down and quantum mechanics prevails. Extensively class-tested, the material in Atoms, Nuclei, and Interactions of Ionizing Radiation with Matter successfully links three closelyrelated subjects so that they can be taught in a succinct, one-semester course. The book is intended to serve as the primary text for entry-level radiation physics courses for students majoring in nuclear engineering, health physics, or medical physics. C-K Chris Wang, who earned his Ph.D. at Ohio State University, is a professor of nuclear engineering and medical physics at Georgia Tech in Atlanta.
