    We wrote this book, Statistics for Psychology, specifically to serve as a resource for schooling and instruction. After spending several decades as a teacher of behavioural statistics, the author, who became widely known for his pedagogical prowess, intended to create a textbook that would apply the most effective classroom approaches to the written page. He did this by combining the textbook with the most effective classroom approaches. To achieve this, this book employs a variety of tactics, including timely pointing and highlighting devices, strategic reviews and reminders, a focus on the most pertinent content, and timely anticipating of the student's perspective. Additionally, Evans' technique emphasizes underlying logic and intuitive conceptions rather than sophisticated mathematical formulas and proofs, and it does so within the context of an engaging writing style. This contrasts other methods, which emphasize both of these aspects. One can say that there is a healthy balance between conceptual and computational aspects across the entirety of the object. This work is suitable for students taking their first course in behavioural statistics. After experiencing this subject, the reader will be better prepared for advanced courses and direct applications. We also provide internet links to complimentary additional supplements at www.ebookslimited.com to enhance your reading experience. Teachers of behavioural statistics and their students are the intended beneficiaries of these supplements.

    Alchemy is one of the world's most ancient practices of unification with spirit, God, Goddess, or whatever term you wish to assign to a greater consciousness. 
In this work, which comprises a series of lectures delivered in the early 2000's, Maja D'Aoust takes us on a journey to explore the history of what Alchemy is in different cultures, timelines and creative practices, to shed some light on this often misunderstood spiritual technique.  Delving into Taoism, Kabbalah, European sources such as Paracelsus, and examining the science behind the implications of making homunculi and Golems, this volume is a thorough, scholarly researched, deep dive into one of the most esoteric subjects a seeker can come across.  With references and quotes by some of the greatest historical multicultural authors in the field, you won't want to miss this enlightening journey into understanding the Alchemical wisdom traditions.
