Designing Social Inquiry focuses on improving qualitative research, where numerical measurement is either impossible or undesirable. What are the right questions to ask? How should you define and make inferences about causal effects? How can you avoid bias? How many cases do you need, and how should they be selected? What are the consequences of unavoidable problems in qualitative research, such as measurement error, incomplete information, or omitted variables? What are proper ways to estimate and report the uncertainty of your conclusions?

The Happiness Formula: The Ultimate Life Makeover shares with readers a formula developed over years of research. It is about my real life experiences of tremendous highs and unfathomable lows. I used that hard earned wisdom to create a formula to help others evolve from victim to victorious. Over the last 25 years I have been active in the personal development world and interviewed literally thousands of participants. The questions asked were deep and the insights gained are priceless. Most humans search for miracles, focusing on financial, health and relationships. Many people run from challenges, avoiding them as if they were punishment, potentially leading them to becoming a victim of learned helplessness, or worse, learned hopelessness. All lives center around emotions that can either enhance our lives or seriously drain us of vibrancy. Our internal world controls our external world. We all search for Happiness, even though we do not have a clear definition other than what we've been taught in school regarding success. We've been conditioned to believe our academic education will serve us in our times of deep financial and emotional needs, but nothing could be further from the truth. We are masters of technology and victims of emotional reality. We must develop conscious parenting and skills to enhance our relationships. I offer you the choice of managing the effects of your precious life, or managing the cause . The implementation of Forgiveness, Honesty, Truth and Self Worth will create an internal skill set to effectively manage your external world. You are about to find out exactly what that means, and it will change your life forever.

This book contains some of the newest, most exciting ideas now percolating among political scientists, from hallway conversations to conference room discussions. To spur future research, enrich classroom teaching, and direct non-specialist attention to cutting-edge ideas, a distinguished group of authors from various parts of this sprawling and pluralistic discipline has each contributed a brief essay about a single novel or insufficiently appreciated idea on some aspect of political science. The one hundred essays are concise, no more than a few pages apiece, and informal. While the contributions are highly diverse, readers can find unexpected connections across the volume, tracing echoes as well as diametrically opposed points of view. This book offers compelling points of departure for everyone who is concerned about political science -- whether as a scholar, teacher, student, or interested reader.
