We all know the basics of punctuation. Or do we? A look at most neighborhood signage tells a different story. Through sloppy usage and low standards on the internet, in email, and now text messages, we have made proper punctuation an endangered species. In Eats, Shoots & Leaves, former editor Lynne Truss dares to say, in her delightfully urbane, witty, and very English way, that it is time to look at our commas and semicolons and see them as the wonderful and necessary things they are. This is a book for people who love punctuation and get upset when it is mishandled. From the invention of the question mark in the time of Charlemagne to George Orwell shunning the semicolon, this lively history makes a powerful case for the preservation of a system of printing conventions that is much too subtle to be mucked about with.

This volume brings the American Psychological Association (APA) Ethics Code to life by rendering the official language of its 102 mandatory standards in plain English and providing illuminating case examples of how the standards apply to psychologists' everyday work. While fictional, these cases portray common situations and help the reader understand how ethical problems can suddenly emerge with able and well-meaning professionals even under the most ordinary of circumstances. The cases illustrate competent problem-solving by psychologists faced with ethical dilemmas in a variety of professional roles as well as instances in which inaction or inappropriate action by psychologists place them and those with whom they work at risk.
