"From the acclaimed author of How to Sell-and based on his viral Huffington Post article-comes a deeply intimate, insightful, and at times even funny portrait of the suicidal mind, combining the author's personal experience with a philosophical, literary, and journalistic inquiry into the subject "If you're going to write a book about suicide, you have to be willing to say the true things, the scary things, the humiliating things. Because everybody who is being honest with themselves knows at least a little bit about the subject. If you lie or if you fudge, the reader will know." The last time Clancy Martin tried to kill himself was in his basement with a dog leash. It was one of over ten attempts throughout the course of his life. But he didn't die, and like many who consider taking their own lives, he hid the attempt from his wife, family, coworkers, and students, slipping back into his daily life with a hoarse voice, a raw neck, and series of vague explanations. In How Not to Kill Yourself, Martin chronicles his multiple suicide attempts in an intimate depiction of the mindset of someone obsessed with self-destruction. He argues that, for the vast majority of suicides, an attempt does not just come out of the blue, nor is it merely a violent reaction to a particular crisis or failure, but is the culmination of a host of long-standing issues. He also looks at the thinking of a number of great writers who have attempted suicide and detailed their experiences (such as David Foster Wallace, Yiyun Li, Akutagawa, Nelly Arcan, and others), at what the history of philosophy has to say both for and against suicide, and at the experiences of people who have reached out to him across the years. The result is a work that powerfully gives voice to what to many has long been incomprehensible, while showing those presently struggling with suicidal thoughts that they are not alone, and that the desire to kill oneself-like other self-destructive desires-is almost always temporary and avoidable"--

"The field of psychology-law is extremely broad, encompassing a strikingly large range of topic areas in both applied psychology and experimental psychology. Despite the continued and rapid growth of the field, there is no current and comprehensive resource that provides coverage of the major topic areas in the psychology-law field. The Oxford Handbook of Psychology and Law is an up-to-date, scholarly, and comprehensive volume that provides broad coverage of psychology-law topics. The field of psychology-law can be broadly divided into applied and experimental domains. Whereas applied specialties in psychology, such as clinical, counseling, neuropsychology, and school, are typically grounded in the scientist-practitioner model that emphasizes both research and the provision of clinical services (e.g., assessment, therapy), experimental psychology focuses almost exclusively on conducting empirical research grounded in theories from areas such as cognitive, developmental, and social psychology. Importantly, both applied and experimental psychologists have made meaningful contributions to the psychology-law field, and each of these domains of the psychology-law field includes a range of well-developed topic areas with robust empirical support. This book provides comprehensive coverage of applied and experimental topic areas, with chapters written by a diverse group of well-established psychology-law scholars and emerging future leaders"--

"This book argues that we are not at war with the religion of Islam, and non-Western cultures are by no means destined to oppose liberal political principles. But it also shows that Islamist fundamentalism is an expression of a broader phenomenon observable both inside and outside the West that testifies to the power of tradition and religion (whether Muslim or Christian) to resist (and even revolt against) modernity in search of an alternative mode of political existence"--

"Today, raw data on any industry is widely available. With the help of artificial intelligence and machine learning, this data can be used to gain meaningful insights. In addition, as data is the new raw material for today's world, artificial intelligence and machine learning will be applied in every industrial sector. Industry 4.0 mainly focuses on the automation of things. From that perspective, the oil and gas industry is one of the largest industries in terms of economy and energy. Applications of Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning in the Petroleum Industry analyzes the use of artificial intelligence and machine learning in the oil and gas industry across all three sectors, namely upstream, midstream and downstream. It covers every aspect of the petroleum industry as related to the application of artificial intelligence and machine learning, ranging from exploration, data management, extraction, processing, real-time data analysis, monitoring, cloud-based connectivity system, conditions analysis to the final delivery of the product to the end customer, while taking into account the incorporation of the safety measures for a better operation and the efficient and effective execution of operations. The book explores the variety of applications that can be integrated to support the existing petroleum and adjacent sectors to solve industry problems. It will serve as a useful guide for professionals working in the petroleum industry, industrial engineers, artificial intelligence and machine learning experts and researchers, as well as students"--
