Teaching Chemistry - a Studybook: A Practical Guide and Textbook for Student Teachers, Teacher Trainees and
Teachers, Ingo Eilks, Avi Hofstein , 2013, 9462091382, 9789462091382. This book focuses on developing and updating prospective and practicing chemistry teachers' pedagogical content knowledge. The 11 chapters of the book discuss the most essential theories from general and science education, and in the second part of each of the chapters apply the theory to examples from the chemistry classroom. Key sentences, tasks for self-assessment, and suggestions for further reading are also included. The book is focused on many different issues a teacher of chemistry is concerned with. The chapters provide contemporary discussions of the chemistry curriculum, objectives and assessment, motivation, learning difficulties, linguistic issues, practical work, student active pedagogies, ICT, informal learning, continuous professional development, and teaching chemistry in developing environments. This book, with contributions from many of the world's top experts in chemistry education, is a major publication offering something that has not previously been available.
Within this single volume, chemistry teachers, teacher educators, and prospective teachers will find information and advice relating to key issues in teaching (such as the curriculum, assessment and so forth), but contextualised in terms of the specifics of teaching and learning of chemistry, and drawing upon the extensive research in the field. Moreover, the book is written in a scholarly style with extensive citations to the literature, thus providing an excellent starting point for teachers and research students undertaking scholarly studies in chemistry education; whilst, at the same time, offering insight and practical advice to support the planning of effective chemistry teaching. This book should be considered essential reading for those preparing for chemistry teaching, and will be an important addition to the libraries of all concerned with chemical education. - Dr Keith S. Taber (University of Cambridge; Editor: Chemistry Education Research and Practice) The highly regarded collection of authors in this book fills a critical void by providing an essential resource for teachers of chemistry to enhance pedagogical content knowledge for teaching modern chemistry. Through clever orchestration of examples and theory, and with carefully framed guiding questions, the book equips teachers to act on the relevance of essential chemistry knowledge to navigate such challenges as context, motivation to learn, thinking, activity, language, assessment, and maintaining professional expertise. If you are a secondary or post-secondary teacher of chemistry, this book will quickly become a favorite well-thumbed resource! - Professor Hannah Sevian (University of Massachusetts Boston)

Cloud Birds, Sheila Joy Packa , 2011, 0984377727, 9780984377725. Sheila Packa, poet laureate of Duluth, MN, write poems about migrations of birds, immigrants, and women moving through violence. She brings us into and over the borders of love, fear, and the wilderness. Connie Wanek, author of On Speaking Terms, says "The meditations and assembled memories in Cloud Birds dissolve layer after layer of the defenses we erect against eternal human fears and longings. Images from the North, from the Iron Range--bears and birches, roads that had "no end, only yearning," set the poems in place and in motion. Often the poems do not end in a period: instead they leave us following their trail, "a thoroughfare/ of light falling through the pines."Pamela Mittlefehldt, PhD, co-editor of Beloved of the Earth: 150 Poems of Grief and Gratitude writes, "Cloud Birds is about bears, wings, migrations--and apples, anger, rivers, roots, coffee, fields, longing, and always, always love. The collection is wonderfully liminal. It is richly shaded and shadowed, a translucent layering of meaning and memory, of dream and thistle. It moves between narrative and music, between aura and the most grounded reality. Many of the poems linger as sound as much as image. Some are ephemeral. Some are achingly immediate. The poems invite the reader to become part of the process. Trust the free fall of Sheila Packa 's voice and imagination. This is the mystery and power of her work."

The Dreaming Sex: Tales of Scientific Wonder and Dread by Victorian Women Writers, Mike Ashley , 2013, 0720614074, 9780720614077. It is commonly believed that until recently science fiction was the sole domain of men and that it had been male writers who developed the genre. Whilst this was true to a degree, the contribution made by women writers has been cruelly underestimated. After all, Frankenstein, generally reckoned as the first true work of science fiction, was by a woman, Mary Shelley, and one of the first utopian works written in America was also by a woman, Mary Griffith. The
Dreaming Sexbrings together a selection of early science fiction short stories all by women, including an introduction that highlights the contribution made by women in the early development of the field and shows the different perspective they cast on their thoughts of the wonders or fears that technological and scientific advances may bring. A companion volume to his acclaimed The Darker Sex, Mike Ashley's latest collection is more essential reading rare jewels of Victorian fiction by female writers including Mary Shelley, Clare Winger Harris, Adeline Knapp and many others.

Discovering a mortal who not only senses his presence, but also somehow knows his name, Valry becomes obsessed with solving the mystery of how this might be. Confronting the girl, after learning she has knowledge of his entire existence, he is stunned and frustrated when Angelina seems more intent on convincing him that he's not the soulless monster of myth than she is with providing an explanation. Unable to take her life or give her immortality, Valry embarks on a journey with Angelina that doesn't only take them from Philadelphia to his childhood home in the Provenal
Alps, but on a journey into his greatest hopes and dreams, fears and disappointments, and into the strange and frightening past that shaped him.

The Oxford Book of Modern Fairy Tales, Alison Lurie , 2003, 0192803832, 9780192803832. Most people think of fairy tales as having been created anonymously and almost magically long ago, and later discovered and recorded by scholars such as the Brothers Grimm. In fact original fairy tales are still being written. Over the last century and a half many well- known authors have used the characters and settings and themes of traditional tales such as 'Cinderella', 'Hansel and
Gretel', and 'Beauty and the Beast' to produce new and characteristic works of wonder and enchantment. The Oxford
Book of Modern Fairy Tales brings together forty of the best of these stories by British and American writers from John
Ruskin and Nathaniel Hawthorne to I. B. Singer and Angela Carter. These tales are full of princes and princesses, witches and dragons and talking animals, magic objects, evil spells, and unexpected endings. Some of their authors, like John
Ruskin and Oscar Wilde, use the form to point a social or spiritual moral; others such as Jeanne Desy and Richard
Kennedy, turn the traditional stories inside out to extraordinary effect. James Thurber, Bernard Malamud, and Donald
Barthelme, among many others, bring the characters and plots of the traditional fairy tale into the contemporary world to make satiric comments on modern life. The literary skill, wit, and sophistication of these stories appeal to an adult audience, even though some of them were originally written for children. They include light-hearted comic fairy stories like Charles Dickens's 'The Magic Fishbone' and L. F. Baum's 'The Queen of Quok', thoughtful and often moving tales like Lord Dunsany's 'The Kith of the Elf Folk' and Philip K. Dick's 'The King of the Elves', and profoundly disturbing ones like
Lucy LaneClifford's 'The New Mother', and Ursula Le Guin's 'The Wife's Story'. Together they prove that the fairy tale is not only one of the most popular and enduring forms, but a significant and continually developing part of literature.

The first section is concerned with higher education as a part of society, giving a broader context for more pedagogically oriented chapters. Section two focuses on transition from higher education to work and the interaction of work and learning in higher education. The third section focuses on changing workplace environments and the role of universities in promoting work based learning. Practical examples of work-related project learning and other practice oriented teaching and learning methods are examined. Also, e-learning solutions carried out through industry-university collaboration are presented. *Examines relationship between higher education and working life from multiple perspectives *Aims to help teachers better prepare students for the working world *Uses practical examples to clarify points raised in chapters

It spans several decades and is augmented by the intimate exchanges between an angelic being and her master. The latter is out for blood, while in the process, proving that nurture may just be stronger than nature. The First Light begs the question Is it possible to be born evil?

In steps the church, with a mother figure in the nun that nurtured him, and a father in the priest that disciplined him. However, Michael soon finds that the evil within himself in nothing compared the strewing bodies across that globe in search of him.

But there is a paradox to communion and loneliness: while solitude inspires intimate contacts with others, it also increases one's need for privacy and aloneness. Freedom releases. When others are free to be themselves, we are free to be who we are. This authentic freedom enhances self and others because in every relationship, mutuality sustains and encourages expressions of freedom. In freedom, we are attuned to inner states, pursuing a life of creative ideas and meanings, seeking a purity of self-presence that is simultaneously open and receptive to others and the requirements of daily life.

The Story of Architecture, Jonathan Glancey , 2000, 0195416104, 9780195416107. The Story of Architecture takes us on a grand tour starting from the monumental ziggurats of ancient Mesopotamia and ending at the spectacular glass-and- steel structures of today's urban landscapes, stopping off to marvel at Romanesque arcades, Gothic steeples, Baroque excess, restrained Neoclassicalism and Modernist functionalism en route. Placing each style in its historical context, The
Story of Architecture illuminates cultural and geographical influences that permeated structures asdiverse as the Roman villa, the pagoda or the city apartment block. Stunning, high-quality reproductions of magnificent edifices from palaces to churches, temples and country houses bring the story to life, while factual side-columns set the buildings in their wider historical, social, and cultural context. Stylistic developments and the technical innovations that made change possible are illustrated using explanatory artworks, plans and diagrams. Innovative architects are showcased on special feature spreads, with fascinating biographical information. Combining Dorling Kindersley's unique visual approach with the architectural expertise of talented author and broadcaster, Jonathan Glancey, this is the most refreshing history of global architecture available anywhere.
Vedanta: Heart of Hinduism, Hans Torwesten , 1994, 0802132626, 9780802132628. Vedanta is the most encompassing and open of the six orthodox systems of Hinduism and is considered the quintessence of Eastern thought and mysticism.
An important part of modern intellectual Hinduism, Vedanta is often regarded as a truly universal religion and had many adherents in the West. At the center of Vedanta lie the texts of the Upanishads and the Bhagavad Gita. Beginning with the premise that man is a divine being whose greatest source of strength is his intuition, Vedanta seeks not merely the accumulation of knowledge, but rather the annihilation of all knowledge. Its goal is an unclouded inner world that will allow us to exist untroubled by the complexity of the outside world. For those interested in the concise and intelligent overview, as well as those who seek a better understanding of what is at the heart of Hinduism, Vedanta is a unique and thought-provoking guide.

Dracula, by Bram Stoker, Jack Lynch , 2010, 1587656124, 9781587656125. In this volume, the gothic novel Dracula is examined from a variety of critical viewpoints. Overview essays examine the literary history of the vampire and the critical reception of Stoker's most famous work. Another essay considers Stoker's novel in the context of the waning days of the Victorian era, as the creep of modernity threatened the period's established beliefs and values. Other essays examine the use of sacred rituals within the novel and offer a psychological perspective.

Narcolepsy: Max Pam - Robert Cook, Robert Cook , 2012, 098730500X, 9780987305008. Narcolepsy is a disturbingly ambiguous novella in pictures and words by Max Pam (photographer) and Bob Charles (writer). A collision between image and text, it is a journey into a terrain where pathology meets boredom, where horror meets melancholic loss, and where the will to live meets a grossly heavy impulse to self-erasure. The book functions as a groundbreaking exemplar for how research can occur in a fully creative arena and capacity. This work is new take on writing and photography and what kind of narrative/creative possibilities they deliver. Bob Charles has created a fictional novella that effectively channels the energy of Pams works. Pam, in turn, responded to the writing with dream-like drawings and together both artists found themselves in the midst of an intense creative partnership of an amazing visionary potential unlike anything they had experienced before. In this process they discovered that this call and response type of dialogue is the key driving aspect of the project. The work is innovative and novel because it confuses both word and text and, in effect, creates a new genre. Narcolepsy radically delivers a process that shakes-up the form of the book to produce the art as book and the book as art. The book is a fully realised graphic vehicle. The ways in which the book operates as a series of closures and openings, also parallels the content of the book and amplifies it as an evocative, mysterious object.
Narcolepsy is loaded with the poetics of sex and death realized through an exciting fusion of drawing, painting, text and photography.

Modern Geometries, James R. Smart , 1978, 0818502657, 9780818502651. This comprehensive, best-selling text focuses on the study of many different geometries -- rather than a single geometry -- and is thoroughly modern in its approach. Each chapter is essentially a short course on one aspect of modern geometry, including finite geometries, the geometry of transformations, convexity, advanced Euclidian geometry, inversion, projective geometry, geometric aspects of topology, and non-Euclidean geometries. This edition reflects the recommendations of the COMAP proceedings on
Geometry's Future, the NCTM standards, and the Professional Standards for Teaching Mathematics. References to a new companion text, Active Geometry by David A. Thomas encourage students to explore the geometry of motion through the use of computer software. Using Active Geometry at the beginning of various sections allows professors to give students a somewhat more intuitive introduction using current technology before moving on to more abstract concepts and theorems.

Letters from Oxford: Hugh Trevor-Roper to Bernard Berenson, Hugh R. Trevor-Roper , 2007, 0753822059,
9780753822050. When they met in 1947 Trevor-Roper, a young historian at Christ Church, Oxford, was 33. Berenson, the world-famous art critic, was 82, frail but still intensely curious about the world. Trevor Roper promised to write to him and his letters continued until Berenson's death in in 1959. Elegantly constructed, beautifully and precisely written, they are shot through with high-octane malice, sharp judgements and blistering comments, and many wonderfully funny episodes.Trevor-Roper was an intellectual heavyweight, but subjects range widely: several brilliant set-pieces on Oxford college elections, books, journalism, publishing, politics (postwar Europe, ex-Nazis and collaborators, the Cold War, Suez, etc), history and history-writing, personal life (including marriage to Earl Haig's daughter Alexandra after her messy divorce), travel, gossip, and so on.He has a memorable journey on a pilgrims' bus in Persia, goes behind the Iron Curtain to meet Communist dignitaries and speeds in his glamorous grey Bentley to visit duchesses in the Scottish borders.
Figures in the letters include Evelyn Waugh, Isaiah Berlin, A.L. Rowse, Anthony Eden, Gerald Brenan, A.J.P.Taylor, Arnold
Toynbee, Dimitri Shostakovitch, C.S. Lewis and Harold Macmillan.

The Alcoholic Empire : Vodka & Politics in Late Imperial Russia: Vodka & Politics in Late Imperial Russia, Patricia Herlihy
Professor of Russian and Soviet History Brown University (Emerita) , 2001, 0195350731, 9780195350739. The Alcoholic
Empire examines the prevalence of alcohol in Russian social, economic, religious, and political life. Herlihy looks at how the state, the church, the military, doctors, lay societies, and the czar all tried to battle the problem of overconsumption of alcohol in the late imperial period. Since vodka produced essential government revenue and was a backbone of the state economy, many who fought for a sober Russia believed that the only way to save the country through Revolutionary change. This book traces temperance activity and politics side by side with the end of the tsarist regime, while showing how the problem of alcohoism continued to pervade Soviet and post-Soviet society. Illustrated by timeless and incisive sayings about the Russian love of vodka and by poster art and paintings, this book will appeal to Russian and
European historians and those interested in temperance history.

Green Patriot Posters, Edward Morris, Dmitri Siegel , 2010, 1935202243, 9781935202240. This book brings together the strongest contemporary graphic design currently promoting sustainability and the fight against climate change.
Collectively, essays by Michael Bierut, Steven Heller, Edward Morris and Dmitri Siegel look back in time to posters and ideas that set the stage for the current movement (World War Two posters, images of international cooperation, posters from the environmental movement in the 1960s and 1970s) and address the state of the poster: what is the efficacy and mode of distribution for purposeful, message-oriented graphic images today? Thomas L. Friedman advocates for "a redefined, broader and more muscular green ideology that can be the basis of a new unifying political movement for the twenty-first century." The bulk of the book is given over to a compilation of the best posters on the theme of sustainability by a variety of contemporary artists (both emerging and established), among them Shepard Fairey, Michael
Bierut, DJ Spooky, James Victore and Geoff McFetridge. These posters, which have a strong graphic presence and which never rest on the tired slogans of the past ("Save the Earth," etc.), show that graphic design does not passively respond to the zeitgeist--it helps shape it. The book, which is sustainably printed in the U.S., reproduces 50 of these posters as tear-outs. Also included is a section on action, with documentation of designs at work in the world: on buses, billboards, protesters' placards, graffiti, t-shirts and so on. This movement is about a new form of patriotism, one that exhibits pride of place, but not fear of others.

Possible Scotlands: Walter Scott and the Story of Tomorrow, Caroline McCracken-Flesher , 2005, 0195169670,
9780195169676. No thanks to Walter Scott, Scotland has at last regained its parliament. If this statement sounds extreme, it echoes the tone that criticism of Scott and his culture has taken through the twentieth century. Scott is supposed to have provided stories of the past that allowed his country no future--that pushed it "out of history." Scotland has become a place so absorbed in nostalgia that it could not construct a politics for a changing world. Possible Scotlands disagrees. It argues that the tales Scott told, however romanticized, also provided for a national future. They do not tell the story of a Scotland lost in time and lacking value. Instead they open up a narrative space where the nation is always imaginable. This book reads across Scott's complex characters and plots, his many personae, his interventions in his nation's nineteenth-century politics, to reveal the author as an energetic producer of literary and national culture working to prevent a simple or singular message. Indeed, Scott invites readers into his texts to develop multiple and forward- looking interpretations of a Scotland always in formation. Scott's texts and his nation are alive in their constant retelling.
Scott was an author for Scotland's new times.

San Fran '60s: Stories of San Francisco in the Sixties and the Birth of the Hippies, Mark Jacobs , 2010, 1453758666,
9781453758663. San Francisco in the Sixties, the Summer of Love, the birth of the hippies, experience it for yourself in
San Fran 60s, a collection of autobiographical short stories. San Francisco in the Sixties was the epicenter of the biggest cultural transformation of the second half of the Twentieth Century, and of course it has had its histories and memoirs, but this is the only time a participant has used the devices of literary fiction to put you there, living it. San Fran 60s is darker, edgier, and more intimate than anything on the subject before. In addition to sex, drugs, and rock 'n roll, there is murder, madness, and God. One of the murders officially ends the Summer of Love. William Burroughs and Janis Joplin make an appearance, as does Jim Morrison in the sequel More San Fran 60s. And it all really happened. The stories are based on my journals and experiences and there is less invention than in many memoirs. I have lived in and around San
Francisco since 1965 and present myself, friends, and acquaintances as prime specimens. In the Sixties and Seventies, I was a free lance journalist, among other things. Now I am a retired English teacher. LSD and free love, Haight-Ashbury and the Hell's Angels, the Hip and the Straight, it's all here. One of these stories is a present-tense, stream-of-expanded- consciousness stroll the length of Haight Street at the height of the Summer of Love. In another, three dealers driving through the night on LSD taking LSD to LA must contend with rednecks at a truck stop as well as their own demons. In another, a college love affair beset by an outraged husband and a predatory junkie culminates in a night of sex on LSD.
And one story, with a legendary junkie burn artist and armed robbery between dealers, culminates in a meeting with
William Burroughs. The longest story has two murders and ends in the mental hospital.All of the stories are interconnected but each is also self-contained so they can be read in any order. Get Ahead: Level 1: Student Book, Robert Quinn, Tim Falla, Paul A. Davies , 2013, 0194131025, 9780194131025.
Leisureguy's Guide to Gourmet Shaving - Sixth Edition: Shaving Made Enjoyable, Michael Ham , 2012, 1477436804,
9781477436806. The sixth edition of the complete beginner's guide to traditional wetshaving---brush, shaving cream or soap, and safety razor with double-edged blade---is a major update of the previous edition: a third larger, with a new chapter, new sections, and covers aspects of shaving such as DIY products and guidelines on collecting that were not in the previous editions. Reviews of new razors and other shaving products are included, and the appendix now includes well over 100 on-line vendors as well as forums and reference sites. The book provides excellent guidance for beginners putting together their first shaving kit and discusses tradeoff considerations in the initial purchases. Traditional shaving is enjoyable and thrifty: double-edged blades are as low as 7 each---a year's worth of shaves for $3.50---compared to the same amount spent for one single disposable multiblade cartridge. The recommended beginner razor, one of the Edwin
Jagger DE8x series, can last a lifetime and uses a recently designed head that easily provides a comfortable shave using techniques described in the book. The multiblade cartridge's tug-and-cut action often results in skin irritation, razor bumps, in-grown hairs, and razor burn---thus all the "protective" shaving preparations and "soothing and healing" aftershaves now offered. Most men with these skin problems decide that they have "sensitive skin," never realizing that the problem is their daily use of a multiblade cartridge whose its tug-and-cut action, made even worse by the shaver pressing hard to try to extend the life of the (expensive) cartridge. The book also includes a chapter on shaving and skin problems, including information on how DE shaving can help those who have acne as well as how to cure and prevent razor bumps and in-grown whiskers. The book is a complete instruction manual and guide for those just beginning DE shaving, and it also includes links to a host of resources on the Web that complement the book. Included with the book is a comprehensive list of on-line shaving vendors and other sources of equipment and supplies for everything you need to get started. It's a perfect gift for Father's Day, Valentine's Day, birthdays, graduations, and bar mitzvahs---and a particularly apt gift for men who shave daily but when asked whether they actually enjoy shaving answer, "No. I hate it."
Give them this book so that they can look forward eagerly to their next shave---not an exaggeration. Men who have just started DE shaving frequently write that they wish they could shave more than once a day and look forward eagerly to the next shave.

Hitler, Joachim C. Fest , 1974, 0156027542, 9780156027540. A bestseller in its original German edition and subsequently translated into more than a dozen languages, Joachim Fest's Hitler as become a classic portrait of a man, a nation, and an era. Fest tells and interprets the extraordinary story of a man's and a nation's rise from impotence to absolute power, as Germany and Hitler, from shared premises, entered into their covenant. He shows Hitler exploiting the resentments of the shaken, post-World War I social order and seeing through all that was hollow behind the appearance of power, at home and abroad. Fest reveals the singularly penetrating politician, hypnotizing Germans and outsiders alike with the scope of his projects and the theatricality of their presentation. Fest also, perhaps most importantly, brilliantly uncovers the destructive personality who aimed at and achieved devastation on an unprecedented scale.As history and as biography, this is a towering achievement, a compelling story told in a way only a German could tell it, "dispassionately, but from the inside."

The Russian Cosmists: The Esoteric Futurism of Nikolai Fedorov and His Followers, George M. Young , 2012,
019997439X, 9780199974399. The nineteenth and early twentieth century saw the emergence of a controversial school of Russian thinkers, led by the philosopher Nikolai Fedorov and united in the conviction that humanity was entering a new stage of evolution in which it must assume a new, active, managerial role in the cosmos. In the first account in
English of this fascinating tradition, George M. Young offers a dynamic and wide-ranging examination of the lives and ideas of the Russian Cosmists. Suppressed during the Soviet period and little noticed in the West, the ideas of the
Cosmists have in recent decades been rediscovered and embraced by many Russian intellectuals and are now recognized as essential to a native Russian cultural and intellectual tradition. Although they were scientists, theologians, and philosophers, the Cosmists addressed topics traditionally confined to occult and esoteric literature. Major themes include the indefinite extension of the human life span to establish universal immortality; the restoration of life to the dead; the reconstitution of the human organism to enable future generations to live beyond earth; the regulation of nature to bring all manifestations of blind natural force under rational human control; the transition of our biosphere into a "noosphere," with a sheath of mental activity surrounding the planet; the effect of cosmic rays and currently unrecognized particles of energy on human history; practical steps toward the reversal and eventual human control over the flow of time; and the virtues of human androgyny, autotrophy, and invisibility. The Russian Cosmists is a crucial contribution to scholarship concerning Russian intellectual history, the future of technology, and the history of western esotericism.

Passion and Reason : Making Sense of Our Emotions: Making Sense of Our Emotions, Berkeley (Emeritus) Richard S.
Lazarus Professor of Psychology University of California, Berkeley (Emeritus) Bernice N. Lazarus Professor of Psychology
University of California , 1994, 0198024835, 9780198024835. When Oxford published Emotion and Adaptation, the landmark 1991 book on the psychology of emotion by internationally acclaimed stress and coping expert Richard Lazarus,
Contemporary Psychology welcomed it as "a brightly shining star in the galaxy of such volumes." Psychiatrists, psychologists and researchers hailed it as a masterpiece, a major breakthrough in our understanding of the emotional process and its central role in our adaptation as individuals and as a species. What was still needed, however, was a book for general readers and health care practitioners that would dispel the myths still surrounding cultural beliefs about emotion and systematically explain the relevance of the new research to the emotional dramas of our everyday lives.
Now, in The Passions of Life, Lazarus draws on his four decades of pioneering research to bring readers the first book to move beyond both clinical jargon and "feel-good" popular psychology to really explain, in plain, accessible language, how emotions are aroused, how they are managed, and how they critically shape our views of ourselves and the world around us. With his co-author writer Bernice Lazarus, Dr. Lazarus explores the latest findings on the short and long-term causes and effects of various emotions, including the often conflicting research on stress management and links between negative emotions and heart disease, cancer, and other aspects of physical and psychological health. Lazarus makes a strong case that contrary to common assumption, emotions are not irrational--our emotions and our analytical thought processes are inextricably linked. While not a "how-to" book, The Passions of Life does describe how readers can interpret what lies behind their own emotions and those of their families, friends, and co-workers, and how to manage them more effectively. Exploring fifteen emotions in depth, from love to jealousy, the authors show how the personal meaning we give to the events and conditions of our lives trigger such emotions as anger, anxiety, guilt, and pride. They provide fascinating vignettes to frame a "biography" of each emotion. Some are composite case histories drawn from Dr.
Lazarus's long career, but most are stories of people the Lazaruses have known over the years--people whose emotional fears, conflicts, and desires mirror readers' own. The Lazaruses also offer a special chapter on the diverse strategies of coping people use in managing their emotions, and another, "When Coping Fails," on psychotherapy and its approaches to emotional stress and dysfunction, from traditional Freudian psychoanalysis to continuing research into relaxation techniques, meditation, hypnosis, and biofeedback. Packed with insight and compellingly readable, The Passions of Life will enrich all readers fascinated by our emotional lives.

Because she has no idea who the father is, she considers having an abortion, but decides to place her baby for adoption instead.

Following through ends up being more heart-wrenching than she'd imagined, but she's determined to do the right thing for her baby. She's not ready to be a mother.Jeff feels guilty about what happened at his party, and he offers to marry Susie so she won't have to give up her baby like his birth mother had done with him.

After Susie places her baby with a couple she trusts, she expects to be abandoned, but Jeff sticks with her despite her attempts to discourage him.
They grow close as Jeff tries to comfort Susie while she grieves the separation. Will Jeff see the good in Susie's decision and see that what she did is not about him, but what is best for her child?

The Correspondence of Jeremy Bentham:Volume 12: July 1824 to June 1828: Volume 12: July 1824 to June 1828, Luke
O'Sullivan, The late Catherine Fuller , 2006, 019927830X, 9780199278305. This twelfth volume of Correspondence contains authoritative and fully annotated texts of all known letters sent both to and from Bentham between July 1824 and June 1828. The 301 letters, most of which have never before been published, have been collected from archives, public and private, in Britain, the United States of America, Switzerland, France, Japan, and elsewhere, as well as from the major collections of Bentham Papers at University College London Library and the BritishLibrary.In mid-1824 Bentham was still preoccupied with the Greek struggle for independence against Turkey, though his active involvement waned as he became disenchanted with the behaviour of the deputies sent to London by the Greek National Assembly. His international reputation was reflected in his continuing contact with Simn Bolvar and Bernardino Rivadavia in South
America, and with John Quincy Adams, John Neal, Henry Wheaton, and others in the United States, and his forging of newcontacts in Guatemala, India, and Egypt. In the autumn of 1825 he visited France, where he stayed with Jean
Baptiste Say and La Fayette, and was fted by the French liberals.Bentham made considerable progress drafting material for his pannomion, or complete code of laws, and in particular for his Constitutional and Procedure Codes, while John
Stuart Mill edited the massive Rationale of Judicial Evidence. Bentham became increasingly active in the cause of law reform, and exchanged a series of letters on the subject with Robert Peel, the Home Secretary, and Henry Brougham. He maintained his friendships with John and Sarah Austin, George and Harriet Grote, James andJohn Stuart Mill, John
Bowring, Joseph Hume, Francis Burdett, Francis Place, and Joseph Parkes, re-established contact with the third Marquis of Lansdowne, son of his old friend the first Marquis, and made new acquaintances in James Humphreys, Sutton Sharpe, and Albany Fonblanque.

The Spirit of Classical Canon Law, R. H. Helmholz , 2010, 0820334634, 9780820334639. Despite the long reach of classical canon lawacross Europe, well into modern times, and into such secular subjects as theft, wills, and the sale of goodsit has been the subject of far too few general studies in English. Illuminating the basic nature of the canon, this work explores the roles of moral, social, political, and religious values in the laws' development through the seventeenth century. At the same time, R. H. Helmholz makes relevant the attitudes and formal techniques of the laws' authors, practitioners, and interpreters. Helmholz first discusses the origins of the canon law; the collection of texts, known as the
Corpus iuris canonici, which form its foundation; the basic sources on which the Corpus draws, including the Bible and
Roman law; and the body of juristic commentary on the Corpus. He then considers, in turn, fourteen of the major areas affected by the laws such as the governance of the Church (in particular the law of election of bishops), the sacraments
(baptism), and legal sanctions (the law of excommunication). In conclusion, Helmholz points to three common themes that characterize the laws and their implementation: their close connection with the goals and ideals of the Gregorian reform movement, a concern for the spiritual health of all concerned parties, and an interest in securing justice and protection for the unfortunate. Helmholz also comments on the lawyerly skill of the men who devoted their careers to the canon law and the law's ambitious goals. He does not shrink from describing its unpalatable aspects, such as its acceptance of slavery, its restrictions on religious freedom, and its use as an instrument of the clergy's agenda. The size and complexity of the body of church law and its jurisprudence have kept historians in many fields from appreciating how this topic might enrich their studies.The Spirit of Classical Canon Lawprovides them with the ideal entree.

The Disunity of American Culture: Science, Religion, Technology and the Secular State, John C. Caiazza , 2013,
1412851106, 9781412851107. The Disunity of American Culture describes culture now, when different forces are influencing it than in the past, altering it to near incomprehensibility. Identity issues have an effect on culture and politics; more influential is the question of what support the state is obligated to provide the individual. John C. Caiazza seeks to explain how this situation came to be. He begins with an explanation of the origins of Protestantism in America.
Caiazza describes how the American religion has declined and the recent responses the decline has provoked. Caiazza follows with an analysis of science as it presently exists in American culture. The work of three scientists prominent in their respective fieldsSteven Weinberg in physics, E. O. Wilson in biology, and Stanley Milgram in psychologyare examined with respect to how their work has influenced culture. The author examines the failure of Americas school of philosophy, pragmatism, to explain the relationship between religion, science, and general culture, even though its founders, Charles S. Peirce and William James, made serious efforts to do so. He concludes by making the case that there is a contradiction between scientific reason and the claim of state power. Caiazza argues that cultural disharmony will guarantee that the secular state never achieves the dominance over culture and political life it desires.

The Bible, the School, and the Constitution: The Clash that Shaped Modern Church-State Doctrine, Steven K. Green ,
2012, 0199827907, 9780199827909. Few constitutional issues have been as contentious in modern times as those concerning school prayer and the public funding of religious schools. But as Steven K. Green surprisingly reveals in The
Bible, the School, and the Constitution, the apogee of this debate was probably reached about one hundred and forty years ago, in the years between 1863 and 1876. As Green shows, the controversy over Bible reading in public schools captured national attention to an unprecedented degree, providing Americans with the opportunity to engage in a grandand sometimes not so grandpublic debate over the meaning of separation of church and state. Rarely in the nation's history have people from such various walks of lifeProtestants and Catholics, skeptics and theocrats, nativists and immigrants, educators and politiciansbeen able to participate in a national discussion over the meaning of a constitutional principle. The debates of this period, Green shows, laid the foundation for constitutional arguments that still rage today.
Cervantes in Seventeenth-Century England : The Tapestry Turned: The Tapestry Turned, Dale B. J. Randall, Jackson C.
Boswell , 2009, 0191561584, 9780191561580. Cervantes in Seventeenth-century England garners well over a thousand
English references to Cervantes and his works, thus providing the fullest and most intriguing early English picture ever made of the writings of Spain's greatest writer. Besides references to the nineteen books of Cervantes's prose available to seventeenth-century English readers (including four little-known abridgments), this new volume includes entries by such notable writers as Ben Jonson, John Fletcher, William Wycherley, Aphra Behn, Thomas Hobbes, John Dryden, and John
Locke, as well as many lesser-known and anonymous writers. A reader will find, among others, a counterfeiter, a midwife, an astrologer, a princess, a diarist, and a Harvard graduate. Altogether this broad range of writers, famed and forgotten alike, brings to light not only sectarian and political tensions of the day, but also glimpses of the arts-of weaving, singing, acting, engraving, and painting. Even dancing, for there was a dance called the "Sancho Panzo". The volume opens with a wide-ranging Introduction that among other things traces the English reception of both Cervantes's
Don Quixote and his Novelas ejemplares, including the part they played in English drama. In the main body of the work, individual items are arranged chronologically by year and, within that framework, alphabetically by author, thus providing little-known seventeenth-century evidence regarding the nature and breadth of British interest in Cervantes in various decades. Thorough annotation helps readers to place individual entries in their historical, social, political, and in some instances religious contexts. The volume includes twenty-nine germane seventeenth-century pictures, an index of references to chapters in Don Quixote, and a full bibliography and index.

Preventing fraud and improper practices in contracted employment programmes: Department for Work and Pensions,
Great Britain: National Audit Office , 2012, 0102977100, 9780102977103. The introduction of the Work Programme in
June 2011 largely addressed the main weaknesses in previous programmes which had led to a risk that fraud by providers was being understated. Some risks still remain because not every control applies to every programme, particularly to smaller ones. This report finds in particular that the assessment of the risk of fraud at A4e missed vital evidence. The Department does not currently obtain all relevant copies of providers' internal audit reports and did not receive the paper sent to the Chair of the Public Accounts Committee which highlighted a possible systematic failure to mitigate the risk of fraudulent and irregular activity. More than half of fraud allegations since 2006, valued at 773,000, have been in respect of New Deal programmes which ended in 2011. Schemes such as the Flexible New Deal and the
Work Programme that replaced the New Deal have been designed with measurable and verifiable outcomes to minimize the risk of fraud. For example, the DWP now checks the records of HM Revenue and Customs to test whether claimants are actually working. But, notably, in the case of the 8 million programme providing mandatory work activity, there are still no independent checks with employers that unemployed people said to have been placed with them have been.
Recommendations include that the Department make the most of the fraud risk knowledge it possesses and share it more effectively; and that users' complaints be used to assess the quality of service providers.

Iduna's Universe, , E. C. Tubb , 1985, 0099357208, 9780099357209. It was touch and go for Earl Dumarest when the slavers of the Matriarchy of Onorldi struck his work camp. Had he not captured the Matriarch herself during the fight, it might have spelled his doom when the slavers triumphed. Because, even though the odds had turned heavily against him, he was able to strike a bargain. The Matriarch's child daughter Iduna had disappeared into the mind-trap of the
Tau. If he could follow, find her, and return with her, he would have his freedom and a chance to locate the lost Earth he sought. But Dumarest had to outwit her monster playthings, outfight her hideous horrors, and outdream her satanic fantasies . . . (First published 1979) Idea into image: essays on ancient Egyptian thought, Erik Hornung , 1992, 0943221110, 9780943221113. This volume grew out of a series of lectures delivered to audiences with no special background in Egyptology. While each of the chapters and dresses a separate topic, their shared aim is to convey a sense of the richness, the variety, and the fundamental character of the ancient Egyptian imagination. The book is an introduction to the Mind of Egypt.As far back as the third millennium B.C. the Egyptians were investigating questions that concern us still - questions about being and non-being, about the meaning of death, about the nature of the cosmos and of man, about the basis of human society and the legitimization of power. The Egyptians knew that their answers could never be definitive, and this flexible and pluralistic approach is the essence of their philosophical position. The idea that there is no single answer, that everything is flow and every answer provisional, is worth exploring today in an age that has focused attention on fragmentation while continuing to cling to a history of absolutes.Idea into Image also includes a number of black-and-white photographs by Bill Barrette, which illustrate in concrete visual terms the abstract concepts explored in Hornung's essays.

A Textbook of Family Medicine, Ian R. McWhinney , 1997, 0195115171, 9780195115178. Since the previous edition of
McWhinney's text was published in 1989, family medicine has assumed an increasingly important role in the modern health care system. The growth of managed care in The United States, and of similar movements in other countries, has made it more important than ever to define and conceptualize the discipline and to synthesize its body of knowledge and skills. The author brings to this task a lifetime's experience in family practice and academic family medicine.The first edition was widely acclaimed for its originality, depth of analysis, and elegant style. The book has now been extensively revised, while retaining its original structure. The first ten chapters are devoted, as before, to a conceptualization and description of the field, Much new material has been added on the patient-centered clinical method, illness narratives, the biological basis of family medicine, health promotion, the concept of risk, and the contribution of evidence-based medicine. Chapter 9 now includes an authoritative review of evidence-based preventive strategies. The five clinical chapters exemplify how the basic principles apply in practice. These have all been updated with the results of new research. The chapters on the practice of family medicine cover such topics as home care, records and practiced management. The revisions of these reflect many changes that have occurred since the first edition. A new chapter on alternative (complementary) medicine fills the need for reliable information on this topic. The book has been designed to be read as a whole, the fundamental ideas forming a continuous thread which runs through all its sections.
Livable Cities?: Urban Struggles for Livelihood and Sustainability, Peter B. Evans , 2002, 0520230256, 9780520230255.
"An exciting book that captures the urban environmental condition through the struggles and knowledge of real people,
Livable Cities? reveals how grassroots input can make top-down policy more effective. By focusing on small, seldom- studied communities in such countries as Vietnam, the book illuminates the particular intersection between larger environmental dynamics and their concrete materializations in specific settings."--Saskia Sassen, author of The Global
City 2001"This is an essential book about a fundamental topic: the urban politics of environmental sustainability. Leading social researchers from around the world provide a rigorous assessment on the conditions under which local societies can contribute to the development of a sustainable global order."--Manuel Castells, co-author of The Local and the Global:
Management of Cities in the Information Age"Livable Cities? introduces a fresh and crucial agenda for scholars and activists: how can communities across the world organize to foster both environmental reform and economic well-being- in a word, "livability"? Urban scholars, development scholars, and those in the growing environmental field will take a keen interest in this book."--Harvey Molotch, co-author of Building Rules: How Local Controls Shape Building
Environments and Economies"Peter Evans opens up a new area of thinking on how global environmental problems arise in the context of cities in the Third World and how they are translated into continuing policy debates and political struggles."--John R. Logan, author of The New Chinese City: Globalization and Market Reform"Within a comprehensive theoretical framework, Livable Cities? studies how particular "ecologies" of political actors have formed in diverse cities in
East Asia, Europe, and Latin America to improve the quality of life in poor communities. With its focus on cities and their disempowered majorities, this book provides a welcome contribution to the politics of "another" development, one centered on people's well-being."--John Friedmann, co-author of Human Settlements and Planning for Ecological

What Went Wrong?: Western Impact and Middle Eastern Response, Bernard Lewis , 2001, 0198032951, 9780198032953. For many centuries, the world of Islam was in the forefront of human achievement--the foremost military and economic power in the world, the leader in the arts and sciences of civilization. Christian Europe, a remote land beyond its northwestern frontier, was seen as an outer darkness of barbarism and unbelief from which there was nothing to learn or to fear. And then everything changed, as the previously despised West won victory after victory, first in the battlefield and the marketplace, then in almost every aspect of public and even private life. In this intriguing volume, Bernard Lewis examines the anguished reaction of the Islamic world as it tried to understand why things had changed--how they had been overtaken, overshadowed, and to an increasing extent dominated by the West. Lewis provides a fascinating portrait of a culture in turmoil. He shows how the Middle East turned its attention to understanding
European weaponry and military tactics, commerce and industry, government and diplomacy, education and culture.
Lewis highlights the striking differences between the Western and Middle Eastern cultures from the 18th to the 20th centuries through thought-provoking comparisons of such things as Christianity and Islam, music and the arts, the position of women, secularism and the civil society, the clock and the calendar. Hailed in The New York Times Book
Review as "the doyen of Middle Eastern studies," Bernard Lewis is one of the West's foremost authorities on Islamic history and culture. In this striking volume, he offers an incisive look at the historical relationship between the Middle
East and Europe.

The Story of the Human Body: Evolution, Health and Disease, Daniel Lieberman , 2013, 1846143926, 9781846143922.
Story of the Human Body explores how the way we use our bodies is all wrong. From an evolutionary perspective, if normal is defined as what most people have done for millions of years, then it's normal to walk and run 9 -15 kilometers a day to hunt and gather fresh food which is high in fibre, low in sugar, and barely processed. It's also normal to spend much of your time nursing, napping, making stone tools, and gossiping with a small band of people. Our 21st-century lifestyles, argues Dan Lieberman, are out of synch with our stone-age bodies. Never have we been so healthy and long- lived - but never, too, have we been so prone to a slew of problems that were, until recently, rare or unknown, from asthma, to diabetes, to - scariest of all - overpopulation.Story of the Human Body asks how our bodies got to be the way they are, and considers how that evolutionary history - both ancient and recent - can help us evaluate how we use our bodies. How is the present-day state of the human body related to the past? And what is the human body's future?
Daniel Lieberman is the Chair of the Department of Human Evolutionary Biology at Harvard and a leader in the field. He has written nearly 100 articles, many appearing in the journals Nature and Science, and his cover story on barefoot running in Nature was picked up by major media the world over. His research and discoveries have been highlighted in newspapers and magazines, including The New York Times, The Boston Globe, Discover, and National Geographic.
Pocket's Christmas Wish, Ann Bonwill , 2010, 0764163523, 9780764163524. Here's a delightful Christmas book with attractive, winter-inspired illustrations--a wonderful gift for a child to find beneath the Christmas tree. It's Christmas morning, and a little rabbit named Pocket is playing in the snow with his brothers and sisters. But when the other rabbits hurry to the skating pond, Pocket stays behind, lost in thought. He is wondering about the meaning of Christmas. When
Pocket sees a trail of tiny footprints he decides to follow them through the snowy woods, hoping that they might lead him to discover Christmas's meaning. Pocket follows the footprints all the way to a cozy cottage, and it is there, on the cottage doorstep that his Christmas wish comes true. Beautiful color illustrations on every page perfectly capture the mood of this gentle Christmas story.

Overland, Robert A. Boyd , 2011, 0982946244, 9780982946244. A train trip over Donner Pass was not something undertaken lightly in 1876, but there were far greater threats than blizzards and avalanches. Nate Poole found himself caught up in a struggle between a beautiful, mysterious woman from the distant future and the inhuman policeman who came back in time to arrest her. What was worse was the part he had to play in their struggle: it was unlikely any of them would live to reach San Francisco.

Structural Bioinformatics, Jenny Gu, Philip E. Bourne , 2011, 1118210565, 9781118210567. Structural Bioinformatics was the first major effort to show the application of the principles and basic knowledge of the larger field of bioinformatics to questions focusing on macromolecular structure, such as the prediction of protein structure and how proteins carry out cellular functions, and how the application of bioinformatics to these life science issues can improve healthcare by accelerating drug discovery and development. Designed primarily as a reference, the first edition nevertheless saw widespread use as a textbook in graduate and undergraduate university courses dealing with the theories and associated algorithms, resources, and tools used in the analysis, prediction, and theoretical underpinnings of DNA, RNA, and proteins.This new edition contains not only thorough updates of the advances in structural bioinformatics since publication of the first edition, but also features eleven new chapters dealing with frontier areas of high scientific impact, including: sampling and search techniques; use of mass spectrometry; genome functional annotation; and much more.Offering detailed coverage for practitioners while remaining accessible to the novice, Structural Bioinformatics,
Second Edition is a valuable resource and an excellent textbook for a range of readers in the bioinformatics and advanced biology fields.Praise for the previous edition:"This book is a gold mine of fundamental and practical information in an area not previously well represented in book form."Biochemistry and Molecular Education"... destined to become a classic reference work for workers at all levels in structural bioinformatics...recommended with great enthusiasm for educators, researchers, and graduate students."BAMBED"...a useful and timely summary of a rapidly expanding field."Nature

0132808064, 9780132808064. The Complete, Modern Guide to Developing Well-Performing Signal Processing Algorithms
In Fundamentals of Statistical Signal Processing, Volume III: Practical Algorithm Development, author Steven M. Kay shows how to convert theories of statistical signal processing estimation and detection into software algorithms that can be implemented on digital computers. This final volume of Kays three-volume guide builds on the comprehensive theoretical coverage in the first two volumes. Here, Kay helps readers develop strong intuition and expertise in designing well-performing algorithms that solve real-world problems. Kay begins by reviewing methodologies for developing signal processing algorithms, including mathematical modeling, computer simulation, and performance evaluation. He links concepts to practice by presenting useful analytical results and implementations for design, evaluation, and testing. Next, he highlights specific algorithms that have stood the test of time, offers realistic examples from several key application areas, and introduces useful extensions. Finally, he guides readers through translating mathematical algorithms into
MATLAB code and verifying solutions. Topics covered include Step by step approach to the design of algorithms
Comparing and choosing signal and noise models Performance evaluation, metrics, tradeoffs, testing, and documentation

Sacred Distance: Representing the Virgin Mary in Italian Alterpieces, 1300-1630, Rosemary Muir Wright , 2006,
0719055458, 9780719055454. This fascinating and groundbreaking book explores the way in which the canonical image of the Virgin Mary developed out of the Italian Renaissance. Faced with the naturalistic effects of pictorial space and light, the Church had to ensure the distinction of Mary as being both the human mother of Christ and a doctrinal symbol in her own right. The intentions of patrons, artistic practice and operating circumstances all contributed to mark out this duality, and create the "sacred distance" of Mary from the rest of humankind. The book discusses the various possible interpretations of Marian iconography in an attempt to understand an image, and the dangers of making assumptions about artistic intention and audience response.
Akriti to Sanskriti: The Journey of Indian Forms, Harsha V. Dehejia , 2010, 8189738534, 9788189738532. India is a civilization of many images, a culture of many visual feasts, a tradition where the visible and the palpable are as important as the oral and the occurrent, where our highest truths are embodied not only in our erudite texts but in our kathas (stories) and gathas (songs), akritis (visual forms) and rachanas (compositions), rich with a variety of forms, shapes, designs and motifs. Akriti to Sankriti: The Journey of Indian Forms explores some akritis that adorn both majestic and grand monuments, as well as common and ordinary spaces, and which through their purely visual language are pointers to not only our culture, but equally to brahma jnana or transcendental knowledge. These beautiful visual representations of both the ordinary people and artisans, are not individual expressions but that of the shared experiences of the community and the preserve of the family, passed down through endless generations. They are neither mere designs nor decorations, nor meant only for rites and rituals, but in their own unpretentious way become sources of visual knowledge and have a culture of their own. Akriti to Sanskriti, a unique analysis and repository of Indian visual forms, is a collectors tome.

Violent Video Game Effects on Children and Adolescents : Theory, Research, and Public Policy: Theory, Research, and
Public Policy, Craig A. Anderson Distinguished Professor of Psychology Iowa State University, Douglas A. Gentile Assistant
Professor of Psychology Iowa State University, Katherine E. Buckley Department of Psychology Iowa State University ,
2006, 0195345568, 9780195345568. Violent video games are successfully marketed to and easily obtained by children and adolescents. Even the U.S. government distributes one such game, America's Army, through both the internet and its recruiting offices. Is there any scientific evidence to support the claims that violent games contribute to aggressive and violent behavior? Anderson, Gentile, and Buckley first present an overview of empirical research on the effects of violent video games, and then add to this literature three new studies that fill the most important gaps. They update the traditional General Aggression Model to focus on both developmental processes and how media-violence exposure can increase the likelihood of aggressive and violent behavior in both short- and long-term contexts. Violent Video Game
Effects on Children and Adolescents also reviews the history of these games' explosive growth, and explores the public policy options for controlling their distribution. Anderson et al. describe the reaction of the games industry to scientific findings that exposure to violent video games and other forms of media violence constitutes a significant risk factor for later aggressive and violent behavior. They argue that society should begin a more productive debate about whether to reduce the high rates of exposure to media violence, and delineate the public policy options that are likely be most effective. As the first book to unite empirical research on and public policy options for violent video games, Violent Video Game Effects on Children and Adolescents will be an invaluable resource for student and professional researchers in social and developmental psychology and media studies.

UK Defence Statistics 2008, Defence Analytical Services Agency , 2008, 0117730831, 9780117730830. The main change this year is the introduction of a new chapter on Health statistics, including tables on deaths and suicides in the Armed
Forces, operational casualties, and health and safety statistics. There is also a new table in Chapter 1 regarding MOD payments on Private Finance Initiative ( PFI ) projects and major equipment projects; and new tables in Chapter 2 that show the strength of UK regular forces by religion, ethnicity and nationality. After consultation, statistics on aircraft air accidents, casualties and flying hours have been ceased, and the chapter which formerly covered this has been removed accordingly. Although UK Defence Statistics is a National Statistics publication, some of the constituent tables do not constitute National Statistics. These tables have been included because they nevertheless provide useful contextual or indicative data. There are three groups of tables involved: those provided by organisations other than the UK
Government, such as NATO; those from official sources that do not meet all the quality standards for National Statistics; and those which have not yet fulfilled the criteria required to be approved by the UK Statistics Authority for assignation as a National StatisticThe tables concerned are clearly marked and have further explanatory notes where necessary.

Continuous-Time Markov Jump Linear Systems, Oswaldo Luiz do Valle Costa, Marcelo D. Fragoso, Marcos G. Todorov ,
2012, 3642341004, 9783642341007. It has been widely recognized nowadays the importance of introducing mathematical models that take into account possible sudden changes in the dynamical behavior of a high-integrity systems or a safety-critical system. Such systems can be found in aircraft control, nuclear power stations, robotic manipulator systems, integrated communication networks and large-scale flexible structures for space stations, and are inherently vulnerable to abrupt changes in their structures caused by component or interconnection failures. In this regard, a particularly interesting class of models is the so-called Markov jump linear systems (MJLS), which have been used in numerous applications including robotics, economics and wireless communication. Combining probability and operator theory, the present volume provides a unified and rigorous treatment of recent results in control theory of continuous-time MJLS. This unique approach is of great interest to experts working in the field of linear systems with
Markovian jump parameters or in stochastic control. The volume focuses on one of the few cases of stochastic control problems with an actual explicit solution and offers material well-suited to coursework, introducing students to an interesting and active research area. The book is addressed to researchers working in control and signal processing engineering. Prerequisites include a solid background in classical linear control theory, basic familiarity with continuous- time Markov chains and probability theory, and some elementary knowledge of operator theory. Fantasia, an Algerian Cavalcade, Assia Djebar , 1993, 0435086219, 9780435086213. In this stunning novel, Assia Djebar intertwines the history of her native Algeria with episodes from the life of a young girl in a story stretching from the
French conquest in 1830 to the War of Liberation of the 1950s. The girl, growing up in the old Roman coastal town of
Cherchel, sees her life in contrast to that of a neighboring French family, and yearns for more than law and tradition allow her to experience. Headstrong and passionate, she escapes from the cloistered life of her family to join her brother in the maquis' fight against French domination. Djebar's exceptional descriptive powers bring to life the experiences of girls and women caught up in the dual struggle for independence - both their own and Algeria's.

Interspecific Competition in Birds, Andr A. Dhondt , 2011, 019958902X, 9780199589029. In nature there exist three main types of biotic interactions between individuals of different species: competition, predation, and mutualism. All three exert powerful selection pressures, and all three shape communities. However, the question of how important interspecific competition in nature really is remains controversial and unresolved. This book provides a critical and exhaustive review of the topic. Although the examples are limited mostly to birds (interspecific competition and community structure have been exhaustively studied in this animal group, and a lot of experimental data are available), the conclusions reached have a far broader relevance to population ecologists in general. The book reasons that the coexistence of species is the result of both past and presently on-going interspecific competition. Furthermore, understanding the importance of interspecific competition in natural systems will be increasingly important when modelling the effects of climate change on populations.

Meander, Jeremy Seal , 2013, 0099531798, 9780099531791. The Meander is a river so famously ambling that its name has come to signify digression, an approach Jeremy Seal makes the most of while travelling the length of the river alone by canoe. He takes readers from the Meander's source in the uplands of Central Turkey to its mouth on the Aegean Sea, with as many historical, cultural and personal asides as there are bends in the river. Amidst rapid industrialisation, the river itself has been largely forgotten but the Meander was the original conduit by which the cultures of Europe and Asia first met, then clashed. The city at the river's mouth, Miletus, was home to the earliest western philosophers while the one at its source commanded the mountain pass that carried the earliest roads east. All manner of legendary adventurers, soldiers, and visionaries passed through: the Persian King Xerxes, Alexander the Great, St. Paul and the
Crusader Kings, to name just a few. In the course of his travels Seal meets countless people eager to share stories with a stranger. He delves back through centuries of history to unpick this complicated and fascinating region and builds a precious picture of rural Turkey, on the cusp of change.This rich mix of past and present creates a portrait of extraordinary insight and sweep at a time when Turkey is busy rediscovering her historic significance. At once epic and intimate, informative and always enchanting, Meander is an atmospheric, incident-rich, and free-flowing portrayal of the essential meeting point between East and West.

Edleson, Oliver J. Williams ,
2007, 0195309030, 9780195309034. What is the best way to work with fathers who have a history of abusive behavior?
This question is among the thorniest that social service and criminal justice professionals must deal with in their careers, and in this essential new work Jeffrey L. Edleson, Oliver J. Williams, and a group of international colleagues examine the host of equally difficult issues that surround it. Beginning with the voices of mothers and fathers who speak about men's contact with and parenting of their children, the authors then examine court and mental health services perspectives on how much involvement violent men should have in their children's lives. The second half of the book showcases programs such as the Boston-based Fathering After Violence initiative and the Caring Dads program in Canada, which introduce non-abusive parenting concepts and skills to batterers and have developed useful guidelines for intervention with these fathers. Visionary but also practical, Parenting by Men Who Batter distills the most relevant policy issues, research findings, and practice considerations for those who coordinate batterer programs or work with families, the courts, and the child welfare system. It guides professionals in understanding men who batter, assessing their parenting skills, making decisions about custody and visitation, and modeling treatment programs that engage fathers in their children's lives while maximizing safety.

9781935166306. Modern permissiveness and the new culture of entitlement allows disturbed people to reach adulthood without proper socialization. In a book meant both for the general public and for professionals, bestselling author and psychologist George Simon explains in plain English: ?How most disturbed characters think. ?The habitual behaviors the disturbed use to avoid responsibility and to manipulate, deceive, and exploit others. ?Why victims in relationships with disturbed characters do not get help they need from traditional therapies. ?A straightforward guide to recognizing and understanding all relevant personality types, especially those most likely to undermine relationships. ?A new framework for making sense of the crazy world many find themselves in when there's a disturbed character in their lives. ?Concrete principles that promote responsibility and positive change when engaging disturbed characters. ?Tactics (for both lay persons and therapists) to lessen the chances for victimization and empower those who would otherwise be victims in their relationships with many types of disturbed characters.
The Devil is a Travelling Man: Two Plays, William Ormond Mitchell , 2009, 0195430042, 9780195430042. W.O. Mitchell jokingly called himself the great re-run king, but his retellings of age-old conflicts between humanity and the Devil strikingly display his versatile adaptive talents. The Black Bonspiel of Wullie MacCrimmon is a whimsical take on the Faust legend with a distinctly Canadian flavor. Filled with wry humor and set against the backdrop of a timeless small-town dynamic, the story of Wullie MacCrimmon's curling duel with the Devil combines the edginess of Marlowe's classic tale with the down-to-earth wry Canadian humor of "Corner Gas.". The Devil's Instrument depicts a Hutterite teenager struggling with conformity in a puritan society. Mitchell's devil in this play is a figure of sympathy, but lines such as
"Happy? I am free!" invite the ambiguity of whether it is better to indulge in what seems natural, or strive for the divine.
Introduced by Ormond Mitchell and Barbara Mitchell and including original production photography, this collection provides humor, sobriety, and wonderful storytelling with a dash of the infernal. An essential, whimsical part of Oxford's new Outlooks on Canadian Literature series. The Barbarians Speak: How the Conquered Peoples Shaped Roman Europe, Peter S. Wells , 1999, 0691089787,
9780691089782. The Barbarians Speak re-creates the story of Europe's indigenous people who were nearly stricken from historical memory even as they adopted and transformed aspects of Roman culture. The Celts and Germans inhabiting temperate Europe before the arrival of the Romans left no written record of their lives and were often dismissed as
"barbarians" by the Romans who conquered them. Accounts by Julius Caesar and a handful of other Roman and Greek writers would lead us to think that prior to contact with the Romans, European natives had much simpler political systems, smaller settlements, no evolving social identities, and that they practiced human sacrifice. A more accurate, sophisticated picture of the indigenous people emerges, however, from the archaeological remains of the Iron Age. Here
Peter Wells brings together information that has belonged to the realm of specialists and enables the general reader to share in the excitement of rediscovering a "lost people." In so doing, he is the first to marshal material evidence in a broad-scale examination of the response by the Celts and Germans to the Roman presence in their lands. The recent discovery of large pre-Roman settlements throughout central and western Europe has only begun to show just how complex native European societies were before the conquest. Remnants of walls, bone fragments, pottery, jewelry, and coins tell much about such activities as farming, trade, and religious ritual in their communities; objects found at gravesites shed light on the richly varied lives of individuals. Wells explains that the presence--or absence--of Roman influence among these artifacts reveals a range of attitudes toward Rome at particular times, from enthusiastic acceptance among urban elites to creative resistance among rural inhabitants. In fascinating detail, Wells shows that these societies did grow more cosmopolitan under Roman occupation, but that the people were much more than passive beneficiaries; in many cases they helped determine the outcomes of Roman military and political initiatives. This book is at once a provocative, alternative reading of Roman history and a catalyst for overturning long-standing assumptions about nonliterate and indigenous societies.

Interventions reviewed include the pharmacological, behavioral and educational, and a thoughtful final chapter addresses the nature of the fundamental social disturbance that characterizes autism. As a summary of what is now known about autism and related disorders, and an indicator of what is still poorly understood, this book will be an essential resource for clinicians, researchers, and carers.

Free-Convective Heat Transfer: With Many Photographs of Flows and Heat Exchange, Oleg G. Martynenko, Pavel P.
Khramtsov , 2005, 3540284982, 9783540284987. Free Convective Heat Transfer is a thorough survey of various kinds of free-convective flows and heat transfer. Reference data are accompanied by a large number of photographs originating from different optical visualization methods illustrating the different types of flow. The formulas derived from numerical and analytical investigations are valuable tools for engineering calculations. They are written in their most compact and general form in order to allow for an extensive range of different variants of boundary and initial conditions, which, in turn, leads to a wide applicability to different flow types. Some specific engineering problems are solved in the book as exemplary applications of these formulas.
Korea 1950-53 Recounting Reme Involvement, John Dutton , 2007, 0955675308, 9780955675300. The story of the War in Korea and of the part played by the REME from 1950 to 1953 as told by various individuals of that Corps, makes fascinating reading. The support and devotion to their colleagues is most apparent, but typical of the British soldier, these experiences are balanced with a sense of sympathy for the unfortunate Korean civilian population caught up in the conflict, and it wouldn't be a true story of the British soldier without its sprinkling of 'squaddie' humour. John Dutton has provided an excellent compilation of personal accounts in this comprehensive story of the Royal Electrical and Mechanical
Engineers at war where the positioning of Light Aid Detachments and Field Workshops was just as important to senior commanders in their tactical planning as was the medical back-up of a Regimental Aid Post or a Field Ambulance.

The Good Boob Bible - Your Complete Guide to Breast Augmentation Surgery, Miles Berry, Dai Davies, Maxine Heasman ,
2013, 1782193790, 9781782193791. A guide to the best possible breast surgery. Breast augmentation remains the most common cosmetic surgery operation on both sides of the Atlantic. Advances and improvements in both the implants available and techniques possible make the procedure more reliable. Because expectations also continue to rise, it is vital that each individual has a realistic idea of the outcome. Informed decision making gives the best possible chance of optimal result and patient satisfaction, and requires clear communication of the risks and benefits. On the one hand we have the internet, media and friends, but the majority of women have no medical training to put the surgical issues into context. This book written by two breast-specialist cosmetic surgeons provides a wealth of information coupled with their personal experiences to bring together all of the relevant aspects of breast augmentation in an informative, readable and current source of reference for prospective patients. With celebrities continuing to make headlines with breast enlargements there seems to be no sign that the desire for the perfect boobs will ever stop. But with such media coverage there is often confusion from those looking into the surgery for themselves. This book is the bible to all breast augmentation and is not packed with medical jargon but provides clear and comprehendible information.

The seven documents in this book, which appear for the first time in an English translation from Greek and Latin, constitute a unique contemporary witness to the stalwart opposition of the monk Maximus the Confessor to seventh-century imperial edicts enforcing adherence to the doctrines of monoenergism and monothelitism (the doctrines that in Christ there are, respectively, only one energy and one will). The monastic resistance led by Maximus gained the support of Popes John IV, Theodore,and Martin I and found many other followers in the West, as can be judged by the convocation of 150 bishops at the Lateran Synod in Rome in 649 to condemn imperial religious policy. The documents, which have been translated from a recent critical edition, cover events from the time of Maximus' arrival in
Constantinople for his first legal trial in 655; the futile attempts to persuade him to accept an imperial compromise; to his final trial in the capital in 662, and his death under appallingconditions in Lazica, on the coast of the Black Sea, in the same year. The contents of these documents provide a rare insight into the difficult period of transition from the decentralized provincial system of government that characterized late antiquity, to a more hierarchical structure centred on the power of the emperor in Constantinople. They also shed light on some lesser-known but significant participants in the monothelite controversy, several of whom followed their master into exile inLazica; Maximus' two disciples Anastasius the monk and Anastasius the Apocrisiarius, their friends Theodore Spudaeus, Theodosius of Gangra, and the brothers
Theodore and Euprepius. The religious controversies of both East and West appear in these documents against a backdrop of political turmoil, and Arab and Persian invasions. The documents will be important for those interested in early Byzantine studies, church history, historical theology, and hagiography.
The Muddle-headed Republic, Alan Atkinson , 1993, 019553638X, 9780195536386. The proposed replacement of the
Australian monarchy with a republic is a highly controversial issue. Alan Atkinson addresses the current controversy and provides a provocative defense of monarchy. He argues that the facts about Australia's enduring attachment to the idea of monarchy are more complicated than the New Republicans and the Prime Minister's Republic Advisory Committee would like to believe. Atkinson explores the symbolic transformations that would occur in public life--the changes in moral purpose and responsibility--that would occur if this transformation to a republic were to occur.
