            <title>Introduction to Research Methods in Political Science:</title>
            <link>http://www.merlot.org/merlot/viewMaterial.htm?id=337129</link>
            <description>This OPEN TEXTBOOK is for Politically-Oriented Web-Enhanced Research Methods for Undergraduates  Topics and Tools: Resources for introductory research methods courses in political science and related disciplines The POWERMUTT Project is a cross between an introductory political science research methods textbook and an online resource for teaching and learning such methods. It includes: Topics. Each topic is equivalent to a short chapter in a traditional textbook. Tools. These are brief step-by-step tutorials for carrying out specific techniques. At present, the Tools described are some of those found in SPSS, a leading software package for statistical analysis. Datasets and codebooks. Data, and codebooks describing them, on public opinion, the American states, the U.S. Congress, and the countries of the world. Links to other sites providing additional information about research methods. Compared to traditional textbooks, POWERMUTT offers several important advantages, including: Flexibility. Your instructor may have decided to adopt the entire POWERMUTT site as the main course &quot;textbook,&quot; or to use just a small portion of the site&apos;s resources as supplementary material. Interactivity. Want to see exactly how a table or graph was generated? With POWERMUTT PUPs (Pop Up Protocols), the answer is just a click away. Just as close is additional information on other resources within POWERMUTT or elsewhere on the Web. Affordability. In fact, it&apos;s free! However, your instructor may ask you to purchase hard copy of all or part of POWERMUTT for a nominal cost at your campus copy center. While most of the materials in the project are for reference, some, especially the Topics, need to be studied carefully. A highlighter will really mess up your monitor. You can save money by directly downloading the Topics and printing them at home.</description>

            <title>On the Origin and Development of Psychoanalysis</title>
            <link>http://www.merlot.org/merlot/viewMaterial.htm?id=447238</link>
            <description>According to Textbook Revolution, &quot;Dennis Nilsson of Sweden has put together this brief compilation of Freud&#8217;s work. Well done, Dennis! Here&#8217;s what he has to say about the book, available from the download link below:  Two months ago I searched for books written by Sigmund Freud, and I was astonished to find out that there was no book by him regarding his major contribution to psychology &#8211; psychoanalysis. But on the site Classics in the History of Psychology I found an English translation of the original five lectures on the subject of Psychoanalysis, which he gave in 1910 in USA.  These were published in html-format, but since I wanted a proper e-book, I started to create one in pdf-format. When I was done with a draft, I realized that other people surely would be interested in this original work as an e-book, so I contacted professor Christopher Green (webmaster of the psychology site) and professor Raymond Fancher, who has written the auxiliary introduction and commentary on Freud&#8217;s five lectures. I told them I wanted to make the e-book available for free to various sites on the internet, and they thought the idea was good and gave me a green light. The last weeks we have together proofread and enhanced the e-book, and it is now finished.&#1524;</description>
