The Social Sciences in Canada is about the background and history of the Social Science Federation of Canada in honour of its fifty years of national activity.

There can be little doubt that during the last fifty years the federation, and its predecessors, have had a substantial impact on the development of the social sciences in Canada. The history of this organization is probably the best barometer that we have for recording the changes that have occurred in the relation between social scientists and Canadian society.

Ce livre, Les sciences sociales au Canada, est ecrit sur le contexte et l'histoire de la Federation canadienne des sciences sociales, en l'honneur de ses cinquante annees d'acitvity nationale.

II est clair que la federation et les organismes qui font precedee, ont exerce une enorme influence sur l'evolution des sciences sociales canadiennes au cours des cinquante dernieres annees.

Despite a growing body of research and targeted remediation, teenage and novice drivers continue to be six to nine times more likely to die in a crash than they are when they are just a few years older. The World Health Organization reports that road traffic injuries are the leading cause of death globally among 15 to 19 year olds. In light of these crash statistics, understanding the teen driver problem remains of paramount public health importance around the world.

The Handbook of Teen and Novice Drivers: Research, Practice, Policy, and Directions provides...

Effective use of driving simulators requires considerable technical and methodological skill along with considerable background knowledge. Acquiring the requisite knowledge and skills can be extraordinarily time consuming, yet there has been no single convenient and comprehensive source of information on the driving simulation research being conducted around the world. A how-to-do-it resource for researchers and professionals, Handbook of Driving Simulation for Engineering, Medicine, and Psychology brings together discussions of technical issues in driving simulation with...

A how-to-do-it resource for researchers and professionals, this book brings together discussions of technical issues in driving simulation with broad areas in which driving simulation is now playing a role. Covering basic and advanced topics, the book examines hardware and software selection; visual database and scenario development; independent subject variables; and dependent vehicle, environmental, and psychological variables. It also explores statistical and biostatistical analysis, discusses different types of drivers, reviews existing and future key-in vehicle devices, and describes...
