When Oliver's best friends Reggie, Karl, and Grayson move away, he desperately tries to strike up a new friendship with the new kid at school- Garret, a basketball star with attitude. Oliver's desperation to be friends with Garret lead him into a comedically disastrous try-out for the school basketball team. Upon returning home one day after practice, Oliver surprises two burglars in the midst of performing a robbery. He recognizes them. It's Diggory, his old friend and his father, Dragon. Oliver watches as they escape-Dragon with his grandmother's precious candle stick, and Diggory clutching the Box of Shocks under his arm. As the only witness to the robbery, Oliver faces a difficult dilemma. Does he report the robbery and get his old friend in trouble with the law, or does he keep the details of the robbery a secret? Oliver's ultimate decision has unexpected consequences, particularly when he attempts to save Diggory from Dragon. The only contact Oliver has with Diggory is through cryptic messages left in the Box of Shocks which is hidden in a tomb in the cemetery. In his attempts to help his friend, Oliver discovers who or what actually lives in the mysterious Milburn House, tries to rescue a diamond ring from a toilet bowl, has an unfortunate incident while wearing over-sized gym shorts, and finds an unexpected friend in the first girl ever to try out for the boys' basketball team. Readers of Box of Shocks will discover answers to their many unresolved questions, while readers new to Oliver, Diggory and their Box of Shocks will discover a world of slap-stick humour, friendship, and personal fulfillment.

Although many professionals in psychology (including the sub-disciplines of human learning and memory, clinical practice related to psychopathology, neuroscience, educational psychology and many other areas) no longer receive training in learning and conditioning, the influence of this field remains strong. Therefore, many researchers and clinicians have little knowledge about basic learning theory and its current applications beyond their own specific research topic. The primary purpose of the present volume is to highlight ways in which basic learning principles, methodology, and phenomena underpin, and indeed guide, contemporary translational research. With contributions from a distinguished collection of internationally renowned scholars, this 23-chapter volume contains specific research issues but is also broad in scope, covering a variety of topics in which associative learning and conditioning theory apply, such as drug abuse and addiction, anxiety, fear and pain research, advertising, attribution processes, acquisition of likes and dislikes, social learning, psychoneuroimmunology, and psychopathology (e.g., autism, depression, helplessness and schizophrenia). This breadth is captured in the titles of the three major sections of the book: Applications to Clinical Pathology; Applications to Health and Addiction; Applications to Cognition, Social Interaction and Motivation. The critically important phenomena and methodology of learning and conditioning continue to have a profound influence on theory and clinical concerns related to the mechanisms of memory, cognition, education, and pathology of emotional and consummatory disorders. This volume is expected to have the unique quality of serving the interests of many researchers, educators and clinicians including, for example, neuroscientists, learning and conditioning researchers, psychopharmacologists, clinical psychopathologists, and practitioners in the medical field.

The present book provides a contemporary systematic treatment of shock waves in high-temperature collisionless plasmas as are encountered in near Earth space and in Astrophysics. It consists of two parts. Part I develops the complete theory of shocks in dilute hot plasmas under the assumption of absence of collisions among the charged particles when the interaction is mediated solely by the self-consistent electromagnetic fields. Such shocks are naturally magnetised implying that the magnetic field plays an important role in their evolution and dynamics. This part treats subcritical shocks which dissipate flow energy by generating anomalous resistance or viscosity. The main emphasis is, however, on super-critical shocks where the anomalous dissipation is insufficient to retard the upstream flow. These shocks, depending on the direction of the upstream magnetic field, are distinguished as quasi-perpendicular and quasi-parallel shocks which exhibit different behaviours, reflecting particles back upstream and generating high electromagnetic wave intensities. Particle acceleration and turbulence at such shocks become possible and important. Part II treats planetary bow shocks and the famous Heliospheric Termination shock as examples of two applications of the theory developed in part I.

An academic who has lived and taught in Japan, Bohnaker says that Japan is a country in which a highly "formulaic" and ritualized culture overlays an often desperate, prejudiced, and unhappy reality: Japanese sarari-men (white collar workers) are married to the work place and seek release in after-work bouts of drunkenness; women occupy a decidedly unequal place in society; children are driven (sometimes to suicide) by a brutal educational system; et cetera While there is considerable truth in much of what Bohnaker says, he doesn't discuss the concomitant weaknesses of Western culture or the Japanese philosophic and aesthetic values that endure outside the realm of mass culture.

The West African Economic and Monetary Union (WAEMU), like other monetary unions, faces a number of challenges in dealing with macroeconomic shocks. The region experiences a large number of exogenous shocks: climate-related (e.g., droughts, floods), with a heavy toll on populations and agriculture, but also economic (e.g., terms of trade), with a large impact on key sectors and the cost of living. More generally business cycle synchronization within the WAEMU seems low. Addressing these shocks, while preserving the stability of the union, is therefore a critical issue in the WAEMU.This paper discusses these issues and suggests possible reforms.

When social psychologist Stanley Milgram invited volunteers to take part in an experiment at Yale in the summer of 1961, none of the participants could have foreseen the worldwide sensation that the published results would cause. Milgram reported that fully 65 percent of the volunteers had repeatedly administered electric shocks of increasing strength to a man they believed to be in severe pain, even suffering a life-threatening heart condition, simply because an authority figure had told them to do so. Such behavior was linked to atrocities committed by ordinary people under the Nazi regime and immediately gripped the public imagination. The experiments remain a source of controversy and fascination more than fifty years later. In Behind the Shock Machine, psychologist and author Gina Perry unearths for the first time the full story of this controversial experiment and its startling repercussions. Interviewing the original participants—many of whom remain haunted to this day about what they did—and delving deep into Milgram's personal archive, she pieces together a more complex picture and much more troubling picture of these experiments than was originally presented by Milgram. Uncovering the details of the experiments leads her to question the validity of that 65 percent statistic and the claims that it revealed something essential about human nature. Fleshed out with dramatic transcripts of the tests themselves, the book puts a human face on the unwitting people who faced the moral test of the shock machine and offers a gripping, unforgettable tale of one man's ambition and an experiment that defined a generation.

The latest World Economic Outlook reports signs that policy tightening is starting to cool activity despite core inflation proving persistent. Risks are more balanced as banking sector stress has receded, but they remain tilted to the downside. Monetary policy should stay the course to bring inflation to target, while fiscal consolidation is needed to tackle soaring debts. Structural reforms are crucial to revive medium-term growth prospects amid constrained policy space.
