وصف الكتاب | A must-have for all student police officers and their trainers, the fifth edition of this book ensures student police officers have the knowledge and understanding necessary to undertake independent patrol in a professional and competent manner. Fully updated for the fifth edition, the Handbook takes into account all recent legislation and developments, including the Policing and Crime Act 2009, the Coroners and Justice Act 2009 and revisions to the Sexual Offences Act 2003 and the Confiscation of Alcohol (Young Persons) Act 1997. Blackstone's Student Police Officer Handbook provides not only the background required for the Initial Police Learning and Development Programme (IPLDP) and the embedded National Occupational Standards (NOS), but is also the only book to cover all the knowledge requirements for the new Diploma in Policing. The book also makes reference to the IPLDP syllabus and covers key learning material such as the SOLAP, PAC, Learning Diary and PIP, as well as identifying the relationship between the Diploma in Policing and the NOS.
The book covers the key topics that every student police officer is required to know, including Stop, Search, and Entry, Managing People and Incidents in the Community, and Crime Scenes and Forensic Investigation. Each chapter leads the student through the topic, covering theory, discussion and practice while developing skills of analysis, problem solving and forms of reasoning. The chapters also contain frequent reference to the Diploma in Policing assessed units so that students can consolidate links between the subject area and the relevant unit. Also available is the new companion volume Blackstone's Student Police Officer Workbook, providing practical scenarios and exercises to complement the contents of the Handbook. |
المراجعة التحريرية | Statistical Physics and Thermodynamics is the fruit of several years of lecturing a very successful course at Ulm University. Jochen Rau's love for teaching is reflected in the careful preparation of this book and becomes apparent when reading it. Indeed, he invested much effort in its preparation and delivered the course with great enthusiasm and engagement, so much so that he was awarded the Goldene Kreide "golden chalk", an award given by students to best
lecturer of the semester. * Martin B. Plenio, Ulm University * With a powerful blend of the abstract and the concrete, Rau beautifully reveals how physical consequences emerge from their underlying statistical and quantum mechanical foundations. The writing is crisp and concise, the pedagogy clear and effective. * Alec Schramm, Occidental College, Los Angeles * What makes this book special is the cleverly chosen order in which the reader is walked through the fascinating landscape of statistical physics and thermodynamics. The route taken offers a modern overall perspective as well as a thorough understanding of how the different pieces fit together. * Renato Renner, Department of Physics, ETH Zurich * This is not just another textbook on statistical thermodynamics because Jochen Rau manages to follow the logical path from quantum mechanics and information theory to statistical mechanics, thermodynamics, and practical applications with great clarity and competence. For students of physics, this concise textbook will be equally stimulating and rewarding. * Hans Christian OEttinger, Department of Materials, ETH Zurich * With rare clarity and great insight, the author explicates the difficult subject matter of statistical mechanics and thermodynamics in eight compact chapters, from basic concepts to applications to phase transitions. His approach is both logical and systematic - and is timely with the advent of the quantum information era. * Y Jack Ng, Department of Physics and Astronomy, University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill * This book offers a modern perspective on statistical physics and thermodynamics. It provides good explanations and carefully selected problems making it an ideal companion for lectures on these topics. * Otfried Guehne, University of Siegen, Germany * Unlike authors who treat thermodynamics as a macroscopic study, Rau uses a ground-up approach, building an understanding of thermodynamic laws from microscopic statistics. He does this much more directly than authors of other texts do. * E. Kincannon, CHOICE * |
