This bestselling, reader-friendly textbook provides readers with comprehensive guidance on the why and how of systematic instruction (SI), a highly effective, evidence-based teaching approach rooted in applied behavior analysis (ABA). The second edition includes updated research to expand the evidence base for SI, fully revised chapters with a wealth of practical recommendations, detailed sample lesson plans, and robust online faculty materials, including test banks and PowerPoints. Systematic Instruction can be used as a stand-alone text for graduate and undergraduate teaching methods courses; supplemental text to larger, more comprehensive books on severe disabilities; and as a practical guide for in-service special educators.

Asset Pricing Theory is an advanced textbook for doctoral students and researchers that offers a modern introduction to the theoretical and methodological foundations of competitive asset pricing. Costis Skiadas develops in depth the fundamentals of arbitrage pricing, mean-variance analysis, equilibrium pricing, and optimal consumption/portfolio choice in discrete settings, but with emphasis on geometric and martingale methods that facilitate an effortless transition to the more advanced continuous-time theory.Among the book's many innovations are its use of recursive utility as the benchmark representation of dynamic preferences, and an associated theory of equilibrium pricing and optimal portfolio choice that goes beyond the existing literature.Asset Pricing Theory is complete with extensive exercises at the end of every chapter and comprehensive mathematical appendixes, making this book a self-contained resource for graduate students and academic researchers, as well as mathematical
