| Title: Ethics for the Practice of Psychology in Canada, Revised and Expanded Edition |
| By (author): Derek Truscott, Kenneth H. Crook |
| ISBN10-13: 0888646526 : 9780888646521 |
| Ethics for the Practice of Psychology in Canada covers what is expected of Canadian psychologists from the unique perspective of how to be ethical. In this new edition of the essential Ethics for the Practice of Psychology in Canada, content is both revised and expanded. This authoritative resource continues to fill a vital need for a Canadian textbook, while incorporating the Canadian Code of Ethics for Psychologists. The authors address the key ethical issues and all of the competencies required for registration in every Canadian jurisdiction, including making ethical decisions, identifying and resolving ethical dilemmas, meeting professional standards, appreciating legal expectations, maintaining professional boundaries, and conducting research. Each chapter presents case studies for practicing ethical decision-making, while reflective journal activities provide an opportunity for awareness of personal motives and biases relevant to making ethical choices. Written primarily for students in professional psychology graduate programs, this book is also ideal for anyone preparing to practice in Canada or for experienced psychologists seeking to maintain or enhance their ethical knowledge, skills, and integrity. |

"Given its reliance on the CPA Code of Ethics, its readability, and its thoroughness, the book is an excellent textbook or reference book for senior undergraduates and entry-level graduate students, as well as for practitioners wishing to renew their acquaintance with the range of ethical questions they encounter in their practice.... In the Preface the authors outline their goals for the book, which briefly stated include increasing ethical and legal knowledge, raising awareness of ethical issues in practice, promoting ethical decision-making skills and the ability to solve ethical dilemmas, and fostering the development of a professional ethical identity. These goals have been met and exceeded in this book. The authors provide knowledge of ethical concerns to practicing psychologists, researchers, and academics in a well-written book that is very readable and interesting." David R. Evans, Canadian Psychology, 2014, Vol. 55, No. 1 [

[ In The News: 3rd edition] is co-written by communications professionals, for communications professionals, but it's instructive for any member of the audience coveted by officialdom and press: the general public, you... In The News is entertaining and refreshingly frank." Blacklock's Reporter, March 30, 2019 [Full article at https://www.blacklocks.ca/review-monkeys-organ-grinders/] -- Holly Doan

| Title: Upgrading Oilsands Bitumen and Heavy Oil |
| By (author): Murray R. Gray |
| ISBN10-13: 1772120359 : 9781772120356 |
| "The emphasis throughout is to link the fundamentals of the molecules through to the economic drivers for the industry, because this combination determines the technology used for processing."-From the Introduction The high demand for quality petroleum products necessitates ongoing innovation in the science and engineering underlying oilsands extraction and upgrading. Beginning with a thorough grounding in the composition, fluid properties, reaction behaviour, and economics of bitumen and heavy oil, Murray Gray then delves into current processing technologies, particularly those used at full commercial scale. The tables of data on composition, yield, and behaviour of oilsands bitumen and heavy oil fractions are extensive. Though the focus is on bitumen from Alberta's oilsands-the largest resource in the world-the science applies to upgrading of heavy oil and petroleum residue feeds worldwide. Upgrading Oilsands Bitumen and Heavy Oil lays out the current best practice for engineers and scientists in the oilsands and refining industries, government personnel, academics, and students. |

"Appropriate for graduate students and practicing engineers, this handbook defines the fluid properties of bitumen, identifies the components of bitumen, and introduces cracking reactions driven by temperature and catalytic reactions with hydrogen gas for upgrading bitumen and heavy oil fractions. The second half of the book delves into the technical details of separation processes, thermal cracking and coking, residue hydroconversion, hydrotreating reactions, hydrogen production, and gas purification. A marketing chapter explains the economics of Canadian oilsands production, transport, processing, and export." ProtoView, Fall 2015
