While psychologists have often employed the technique of protocol analysis—or the use of the subject's own verbal reports as data—in exploring cognitive processes, the nature and reliability of the method have been poorly understood. This book finally puts protocol analysis on firm ground by examining its underlying assumptions, techniques, and limitations. It addresses such key questions as what sorts of reports about what sorts of mental events are reliable; what the role of the investigator's interpretations should be in helping to understand such data; and what mental events cannot be explained by protocols. The authors describe a general theory of cognitive processes and structure, which, they argue, accounts for verbalization and verbal reports. The theory is presented in the form of an information processing model. Major issues surrounding the use and validity of verbal reports are taken up and empirical studies are discussed within the framework of the model. While the book focuses on reports of cognitive processes, the concepts and models it employs can be extended to such areas of verbal behavior as psychophysics, survey design, and measurement of personality traits.

The ability of municipal law enforcement agencies to contain crime in the future may well be determined by their capacity to change standard operating procedures today. The tools-technology and know-how already are abundantly available. But, profound questions remain. Do law enforcement executives possess sufficient awareness of why they should change? Do they have the will and the fortitude to oppose the status quo? The authors of this book devote considerable attention to the relationship between true community-oriented policing and the analysis of crime. They also address a more mundane, but no less important, practice in desperate need of rejuvenation--the fundamental procedures through which agencies calculate patrol workloads. Determining how many officers should do what, as well as where, when, how, and why they do it, represents the apex of crime analysis. Discussion of these issues makes up the sum and substance of Crime Analysis. In fact, the book's discussion is so comprehensive that it eliminates many of the excuses that traditionalist police executives have used to defend their failure to innovate. In creating the first practical "how to" guide to crime analysis, the authors render obsolete the rationalization that has allowed departments to cling to the status quo in lieu of embracing real analytical methods. Crime Analysis is a coherent compendium for progressive administrators who would challenge the status quo in order to more effectively address the crime problems that face their communities. This book will serve to enlighten, but through its comprehensive treatment of an often-obscure subject, it may also provide a sound basis for leading law enforcement out of the darkness of the past.

Since the publication of Ericsson and Simon's ground-breaking work in the early 1980s, verbal data has been used increasingly to study cognitive processes in many areas of psychology, and concurrent and retrospective verbal reports are now generally accepted as important sources of data on subjects' cognitive processes in specific tasks. In this revised edition of the book that first put protocol analysis on firm theoretical ground, the authors review major advances in verbal reports over the past decade, including new evidence on how giving verbal reports affects subjects' cognitive processes, and on the validity and completeness of such reports.In a substantial new preface Ericsson and Simon summarize the central issues covered in the book and provide an updated version of their information-processing model, which explains verbalization and verbal reports. They describe new studies on the effects of verbalization, interpreting the results of these studies and showing how their theory can be extended to account for them. Next, they address the issue of completeness of verbally reported information, reviewing the new evidence in three particularly active task domains. They conclude by citing recent contributions to the techniques for encoding protocols, raising general issues, and proposing directions for future research.All references and indexes have been updated.

In this classic and controversial final edition of "Flying Saucers: An Analysis of Air Force Project Blue Book #14" (originally published by Gray Barker's Saucerian Press and popularized by J. Allen Hynek), the editor, Leon Davidson (a scientist on CIA contract at Los Alamos and founder of the "Disclosure" movement), examines the last Project Blue Book Report by the U.S. Air Force (No. 14), showing how the government lied, in order to cover up not only their own experimental craft, but also the possible existence of extraterrestrials. For many years, this volume was almost impossible to obtain. A must-have for both serious researchers and UFO buffs alike.

This Cultural Landscape Report documents the history and significance of the trail system, with an emphasis on the physical features, and guides the future treatment of the trails.

Based on the author's doctoral thesis, this is a study of the layout, design, building functions, activity areas and the use of space in general, in the Spanish city of Empúries. Also known as Ampurias, this site, located just north of Barcelona, has been well excavated and serves as an excellent case study. Kaiser combines the use of GIS and other statistical methods with an interpretation of the arrangement and development of urban space and the people, desired functions and social issues that dictated it.

Famous for the excavations carried out by Sir Mortimer Wheeler in 1951–52, the late Iron Age earthwork complex at Stanwick, North Yorks, is the largest prehistoric site in northern England. The site was probably the seat of the Brigantian queen Cartimandua, and both the structures and the finds from the site reflect this status. A recent reevaluation of the radiocarbon dates has led to a new chronology which has rewritten our understanding of late Iron Age Britain. This volume reports not only on the excavations of the 1980s, but also synthesizes other work in the environs of the site.

Many definitions of postmodernism focus on its nature as the aftermath of the modern industrial age when technology developed. This book extends that analysis to postmodernism by looking at the status of science, technology, and the arts, the significance of technocracy, and the way the flow of information is controlled in the Western world.
