Summary

"Rasch Measurement Theory: A Complete Course" is a comprehensive guide to understanding Rasch measurement theory. We offer an essential resource for anyone interested in measurement theory, educational assessment, or social science research.Rasch measurement theory, named after Danish mathematician Georg Rasch, provides a framework for developing valid and reliable measurement instruments. Unlike traditional psychometric approaches, Rasch measurement theory emphasizes the principles of measurement itself.At the heart of Rasch measurement theory is the Rasch model, which posits that the probability of a respondent endorsing an item on a scale depends on the relationship between the respondent's ability and the difficulty of the item. This model forms the basis for various measurement applications.We introduce the basic principles of Rasch measurement theory and provide step-by-step guidance on applying Rasch analysis to real-world data. Our book emphasizes practical applications with examples from education, psychology, and healthcare.We also explore advanced topics such as differential item functioning (DIF), multidimensional Rasch models, and item response theory (IRT). Throughout the book, we offer tips for conducting Rasch analysis using software packages like RUMM, Winsteps, and jMetrik.

    Science and Health: Knowledge and Medicine in Ancient Rome (3 in 1) explores the intellectual and spiritual forces that shaped Roman civilization, from its groundbreaking scientific ideas to its religious beliefs and the formidable enemies it battled across centuries. 
In Roman Medicine and Science, uncover the practical and philosophical roots of Roman knowledge—how doctors, engineers, and scholars applied Greek theory, astrology, and firsthand experience to treat the sick, build aqueducts, and study the stars. Roman Religion and Mythology dives into the gods, rituals, and sacred practices that infused daily life with divine meaning and political power. From Jupiter to household spirits, religion in Rome was deeply entwined with science, healing, and war. The Roman Empire and Their Enemies offers a dynamic look at Rome’s greatest rivals—Persians, Carthaginians, Germanic tribes, and more—examining how these conflicts influenced Rome’s scientific developments, medical needs, and mythic self-image. 
Together, these three books reveal how Romans understood the world—through logic and legend, reason and ritual. Ideal for readers fascinated by ancient science, belief systems, and military history, this volume reveals how Rome's view of knowledge shaped its rise—and echoed through its fall.

    Beat the Bots offers science-based creativity techniques that guide you through the writing process to unlock your imagination and create compelling stories that resonate with emotional truth in ways AI can’t match. 
  
Even though artificial intelligence is based on a technology called “machine learning,” computers can’t learn to be creative—but you can. This book will show you the way. AI is, by definition, derivative, not creative. It can’t bring rational judgment to determine the quality or value of its work. When you bring those capabilities to your writing, your stories will touch readers’ hearts and minds. 
  
Just as real food is better for us than processed food, and actual social interactions are more meaningful than social media, when it comes to writing your story, artificial intelligence can’t replicate your individual human intelligence, imagination, and sensibility. Technical wizardry can’t tell your story. Only you can do that. Your uniqueness is what separates you from a chatbot, and explains why you can’t be replaced by an algorithm. You’ll succeed because you’re human, not in spite of it. 
  
Through engaging FAQs, invaluable “Pro Tips,” and “AI Weighs In” revelations, you’ll be able to apply the writing lessons and creativity tactics to all aspects of storytelling, bringing your distinctive vision and voice to your projects in ways AI simply can’t. Thought-provoking, science-based guided exercises challenge you to apply each chapter’s lessons to your own writing. Whether you’re writing a novel, literary nonfiction, or a memoir, you’ll be able to write stories that are fresh and compelling—your stories—and those are the books that publishers want and readers crave. That’s how you’ll beat the bots.
