The WH Freeman Edition is a minor edition that doesn't seem like a very popular option amongst instructors (perhaps lobby for the Serway Physics books - they are much more common, even outside the US).

That said, I suggest the buy used option under the following link: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/1464135622/ref=ox_sc_act_title_1?ie=UTF8&psc=1&smid=A2UNMBMPLRWQIU (like new book from RobieBook for $45 USD - it's much cheaper than the going price from what I can see.)

Also, bro, you happen to be from the 209 area code in California or is that coincidence? (Also to check on that I looked at your profile quickly and noticed you play Clarinet - how many years have you been playing?)

However, I think I located the Instructors Solution Manual, may that help, I'll leave a Libgen link to it: http://libgen.io/ads.php?md5=EA6DBD7A6FED290AD0F73BD94BAC7A8F

That's because it's from 1993.

You can buy it on amazon from $0.01.

Also, if you are a student, you really need to visit a library. If your library doesn't have it, use inter-library loan. I got a ton of books this way, not only for research but also for pleasure. It may take a bit of extra time, but it's free!

Responding publicly to: "Any recommendations for stuff to read about agent based modeling?"

One of the best resources for agent based modeling is the modeling tool, NetLogo. It's developed by Northwestern:

https://ccl.northwestern.edu/netlogo/

It has TONS of sample models in quite a few different disciplines to see how things work.

Railsback and Grimm have a nice textbook style book on agent based modeling (http://www.amazon.com/Agent-Based-Individual-Based-Modeling-Practical-Introduction/dp/0691136742)

Mitchel and Resnick have a smaller book focused on the concepts of ABM called Turtles, Termites, and Traffic Jams. (http://www.amazon.com/Turtles-Termites-Traffic-Jams-Explorations/dp/0262680939)

Lastly Growing Artificial Societies by Epstien (http://www.amazon.com/Growing-Artificial-Societies-Science-Adaptive/dp/0262550253). He developed generative models of economics using an environment he called "Sugarscape".

Another popular modeling system is Repast (written by people at Argonne National Labs) but I think it's not as easy for the non-programmer to get started with. If you happen to be near University of Oregon, they are having a complexity conference later this month that features a day-long seminar on Repast taught by some guys from Argonne.

Hi thanks for getting back to me. I'm not sure I can provide an ebook link to the book at all, but I can provide an Amazon link to what book it is.....(https://www.amazon.com/Who-Are-We-Challenges-Americas/dp/0684870541) as well as the ISBN numbers...
ISBN-10: 0684870541
ISBN-13: 978-0684870540

Would this be enough information?

Hi there,

Can you please make a new request with the ISBN and correct the tag? This is a book, not an article - the ISBN-13: 978-0300194098 (as per https://www.amazon.ca/Arch-Conjuror-England-John-Dee/dp/0300194099).

Thanks.

very unlikely anyone fetches the unfetchable. your best bet is an interlibrary loan, or fork out $10 here: http://www.amazon.com/Sex-Society-Islam-Nineteenth-Civilization/dp/0521248744

A good book along similar topic lines I would suggest reading is, *When Affirmative Action was White"

https://www.amazon.com/When-Affirmative-Action-White-Twentieth-Century/dp/0393328511

I know it kinda defeats the whole purpose of posting here, but you can find some really cheap copies of this book on Amazon - link

You really want 2nd edition 2008 (which I find no references of in amazon)? Because the 2nd edition 2006 can be found used for $0.01 +$3.99 transport fees at amazon.

Found it on kindle if that's of any use.

Melbourne, Australia has a copy at the library.

I can see all but two pages of it in http://www.amazon.com/The-Nonverbal-Communication-Reader-Contemporary/dp/1577665449 (p 217 to 224; 219-220 omitted).

Don't request books on this subreddit. This is for articles from online databases.

That theory is quite new (Thats the first paper, 2004) and needs much more research.

Yeah, there's quite a few thats your classic nocebo response. There's more studies showing positive responses due to ethics. Its all around response expectancies, which pretty much are non volitional self confirming responses.

Open-Hidden (if you tell people the drugs stopped, the effect is much worse) morphine interruption (or really any drug), Benedetti et al. (1997, 2006) expectation-induced hyperalgesia in clinic + Ex setting, Dworkin et al. (1983) verbal suggestion alone changing direction of nitrous oxide action from analgesia to hyperalgesia (havn't read that paper yet, sounds pretty crazy), Response Expectancies are a universal placebo mechanism so they kinda show up everywhere.

The two most interesting papers on RE:

1. Pollo et al. (2001) patients after chest surgery in 3 groups. One control group told nothing, given saline solution and a button for painkiller (buprenorphine) subjective pain rating taking before painkiller administered. Second group in a blind condition, told there was a 50% chance of a placebo or a powerful painkiller (just another saline solution). The last group was deceptive administration, told the saline solution was a powerful painkiller. The results showed 16.4% decrease in opioid painkiller intake in the blind group and a 33.8% decrease in the decieved group. The logic behind this is the blind groups response expectancies are half of the deceived and ACTUAL pain intake was half!!! The researchers controlled for subjective pain ratings and they were equal across groups at the time of requesting more medication. (there's also a shitton of research showing this control > blind > decpt.)
   
   
2. Kirsch et al. 2008 (the father of RE). This paper made headlines... his argument is that SSRI's for depression are simply enhanced (active) placebos therefore strengthen the RE. He conducted a meta-analysis (using FDA data, drug companies don't release all trails) on a antidepressants and showed no clinical difference with comparison to placebo. The EMA disagrees with this theres a lot of controversy and a lot of money involved.
