Scientific Inquiry in Social Work
No full textAs an introductory textbook for social work students studying research methods/ this book guides students through the process of creating a research project. Students will learn how to discover a researchable topic that is interesting to them/ examine scholarly literature/ formulate a proper research question/ design a quantitative or qualitative study to answer their question/ carry out the design/ interpret quantitative or qualitative results/ and disseminate their findings to a variety of audiences. Examples are drawn from the author\u27s practice and research experience/ as well as topical articles from the literature. There are ancillary materials available for this book.https://mds.marshall.edu/oa-textbooks/1508/thumbnail.jp
Object-Oriented Reengineering Patterns
No full textThe documentation is missing or obsolete/ and the original developers have departed. Your team has limited understanding of the system/ and unit tests are missing for many/ if not all/ of the components. When you fix a bug in one place/ another bug pops up somewhere else in the system. Long rebuild times make any change difficult. All of these are signs of software that is close to the breaking point. Many systems can be upgraded or simply thrown away if they no longer serve their purpose. Legacy software/ however/ is crucial for operations and needs to be continually available and upgraded. How can you reduce the complexity of a legacy system sufficiently so that it can continue to be used and adapted at acceptable cost? Based on the authors\u27 industrial experiences/ this book is a guide on how to reverse engineer legacy systems to understand their problems/ and then reengineer those systems to meet new demands. Patterns are used to clarify and explain the process of understanding large code bases/ hence transforming them to meet new requirements. The key insight is that the right design and organization of your system is not something that can be evident from the initial requirements alone/ but rather as a consequence of understanding how these requirements evolve.https://mds.marshall.edu/oa-textbooks/1529/thumbnail.jp

A grammar of Yauyos Quechua
No full textThis book presents a synchronic grammar of the southern dialects of Yauyos/ an extremely endangered Quechuan language spoken in the Peruvian Andes. As the language is highly synthetic/ the grammar focuses principally on morphology; a longer section is dedicated to the language\u27s unusual evidential system. The grammar\u27s 1400 examples are drawn from a 24-hour corpus of transcribed recordings collected in the course of the documentation of the language.https://mds.marshall.edu/oa-textbooks/1545/thumbnail.jp
History of International Relations
No full textExisting textbooks on international relations treat history in a cursory fashion and perpetuate a Euro-centric perspective. This textbook pioneers a new approach by historicizing the material traditionally taught in International Relations courses/ and by explicitly focusing on non-European cases/ debates and issues. The volume is divided into three parts. The first part focuses on the international systems that traditionally existed in Europe/ East Asia/ pre-Columbian Central and South America/ Africa and Polynesia. The second part discusses the ways in which these international systems were brought into contact with each other through the agency of Mongols in Central Asia/ Arabs in the Mediterranean and the Indian Ocean/ Indic and Sinic societies in South East Asia/ and the Europeans through their travels and colonial expansion. The concluding section concerns contemporary issues: the processes of decolonization/ neo-colonialism and globalization – and their consequences on contemporary society.https://mds.marshall.edu/oa-textbooks/1654/thumbnail.jp
University Physics I: Classical Mechanics
No full textThis is a “minimalist” textbook for a first semester of university/ calculus-based physics/ covering classical mechanics (including one chapter on mechanical waves/ but excluding fluids)/ plus a brief introduction to thermodynamics. The presentation owes much to Mazur’s The Principles and Practice of Physics: conservation laws/ momentum and energy/ are introduced before forces/ and one-dimensional setups are thoroughly explored before two-dimensional systems are considered. It contains both problems and worked-out examples.https://mds.marshall.edu/oa-textbooks/1662/thumbnail.jp
