      The Handbook of the Economics of Education describes the research frontier in key topical areas and sets the agenda for further work. Modern analysis in the economics of education has made tremendous strides in understanding fundamental issues related to the production of human capital and the impact of varying institutional features of education systems. By bringing together some of the world’s leading scholars, this volume provides a unique view of scholarship in the area. The international perspectives of the editors – Hanushek at Stanford, Machin at LSE, and Woessmann at Munich – leads to a volume with something for all researchers. Topics range from the economics of early childhood education to inequality in society to cash transfers in developing countries.

      Educational Practices in Human Services Organizations: EnvisionSMART™: A Melmark Model of Administration and Operation covers these HSO groups, both public and private, who have one main goal, to enhance human well-being. These organizations provide a variety of services for both children and adults, including mental health care and educational programs. With decreases in federal funding, many private HSOs have been created to supplement the void. To ensure adequate services to their patients, it is vital that HSOs adopt an effective model. Each volume in this series highlights key concepts and applications pertinent to each division of HSOs. This book demonstrates how to develop an educational program within HSOs while adhering to state and federal guidelines. It then reviews various evidence-based instructional methodologies, including discrete trial training, errorless learning, and incidental teaching. Finally, the authors provide instructions and templates on how to record students’ progress helping to drive data informed decisions.

      Clinical Systems and Programming in Human Services Organizations: EnvisionSMART™: A Melmark Model of Administration and Operation provides a step-by-step plan for creating clinical programs within HSOs using Functional Behavioral Assessment (FBA) and Functional Analysis (FA) Systems. This includes establishing standards and guidelines for behavior support plans that meet federal and state guidelines. Readers are also provided with instructions and templates on how prepare clinical “report cards” to track patient progress. The book promotes a multidisciplinary working environment for clinicians to help foster collaboration amongst medical, nursing, psychiatric and allied professionals. Human Service Organizations (HSO) are groups, both public and private with one main goal, to enhance human well-being.With the decrease of federal funding for these services, many private HSOs have been created to supplement the void. To ensure that these HSOs provide adequate services to their patients, it is vital that they adopt an effective model. The Organizational Behavior Management (OBM) model is an effective approach to designing, implementing and maintaining services within HSOs. Each volume in this series highlights key concepts and applications pertinent to each division of HSOs and is written in a user-friendly format.

      Introduction to Quantitative EEG and Neurofeedback, Third Edition offers a window into brain physiology and function via computer and statistical analyses, suggesting innovative approaches to the improvement of attention, anxiety, mood and behavior. Resources for understanding what QEEG and neurofeedback are, how they are used, and to what disorders and patients they can be applied are scarce, hence this volume serves as an ideal tool for clinical researchers and practicing clinicians. Sections cover advancements (including Microcurrent Electrical Stimulation, photobiomodulation), new applications (e.g. Asperger's, music therapy, LORETA, etc.), and combinations of prior approaches. New chapters on smart-phone technologies and mindfulness highlight their clinical relevance. Written by top scholars in the field, this book offers both the breadth needed for an introductory scholar and the depth desired by a clinical professional.
