C.M. Fleming

Originally published in 1968, the findings of modern psychological research had contributed much that was directly relevant to the problems of all who taught at the time. Dr Fleming here presents both recent and past conclusions in a survey that would have been useful to all who were called upon to give instruction. Since its first appearance in 1958 this book had been entirely revised and brought into line with the most modern research. Today it can be read and enjoyed in its historical context.

Mother Teresa meets Erma Bombeck. "The Devil Made Me Eat That " is an honest account of what I believe the Bible says about gluttony and its consequences, told with humor by someone who has, and is, fighting this sin battle. With a little help we can change. More than sixty percent of Americans are overweight. According to The National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey, obesity is a problem that affects over one third of the American population. Seventeen percent of this number is comprised of children aged two to nineteen years of age. Eleven percent of those children are morbidly obese. In the past three decades, the number of obese Americans has more than doubled, most dramatically in children. The list of health problems associated with obesity is staggering. Rather than admit to a food addiction, many look for a magic bullet. New "miracles" are touted daily. Take this pill and melt fat away while you sleep. Eat this berry and you will have boundless energy, plus you will lose weight effortlessly. Buy this belt and vibrate your fat away while you watch TV. Hah There are drawbacks with these "miracles." One: they are expensive. Two: they don't work. And three: many are dangerous to your health.

First Published in 1998. This is Volume XXIII of twenty-eight in the Sociology of Education series. This book seeks to provide an introduction and guide to social psychology of education. Written in 1944, it looks at the teacher and their changing role and personality when teaching from initial assessment, measurement of intelligence, use of instincts and modification of behaviour. This develops into addressing that pupils belong to different social groups that will influence their behaviour.

These ground-breaking works led the way to an authoritative understanding of how social interaction moulded young people. Careful observation of vulnerable and troubled children helped the leading sociologists, whose works are included here, to investigate how aggression, discipline, the struggle for recognition and the need to rebel shaped the personalities of the young. These are important texts for practitioners, students and teachers in health and social welfare.
