  A passionate and imaginative exploration of wood – the material that shaped human history. 
  As a material, wood has no equal in strength, resilience, adaptability and availability. It has been our partner in the cultural evolution from woodland foragers to engineers of our own destiny. Tracing that partnership through tools, devices, construction and artistic expression, Max Adams explores the role that wood has played in our own history as an imaginative, curious and resourceful species. Beginning with an investigation of the material properties of various species of wood, The Museum of the Wood Age investigates the influence of six basic devices – wedge, inclined plane, screw, lever, wheel, axle and pulley – and in so doing reveals the myriad ways in which wood has been worked throughout human history. From the simple bivouacs of hunter-gatherers to sophisticated wooden buildings such as stave churches; from the decorative arts to the humble woodworking of rustic furniture; Max Adams fashions a lattice of interconnected stories and objects that trace a path of human ingenuity across half a million years of history.

  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.
