Book Description

Rising crime, moral panic, or child-blaming? This serious study, the product of intricate and wide-ranging research, attempts to answer why juvenile delinquency, especially of girls, is a persistent--and popular-- theme in media: * Is juvenile crime the real issue? * Is 'moral panic' a real or manufactured? * Who gains when children are blamed? * What are the politics of juvenile delinquency? By tracing the history of young women and crime, the author punctures myths surrounding these issues. Girl Trouble uncovers the voices of girls and their families caught up in the juvenile justice system, and provides a critical look at the definitions of, and solutions to, female delinquency.

Great!.......2000-01-30

This is an excellent book on chaos in geology. The first half does a wonderful job explaining chaos. The second half describes how chaos relates to geology. It is very thorough, although it lacked an application of chaos to geomagnetism.

Book Description

Among the most fascinating and rapidly developing areas in modem physics is the study of cosmological phenomena such as black holes, the cosmic microwave background, and the inflationary nature of the universe. Recent theoretical and experimental developments in these fields have significantly increased our understanding of these exciting and important topics. In order to allow the reader fully to understand these new developments, Quantum Theory, Black Holes and Inflation begins by introducing the theory of quantised fields in a mathematically rigorous fashion. Concentrating on the path integral approach to quantum field theory, the essential mathematical tools are developed to allow the reader to get to grips with the ways in which the theory has been successfully applied to a number of areas in modern cosmology. The second half of Quantum Theory, Black Holes and Inflation explains a number of the most successful applications to date, including the theory of black hole evaporation and thermodynamics, and the theory of quantum effects in the inflationary model of the universe.

Quantum Theory, Black Holes and Inflation will be of great interest to all those involved in these vibrant areas of research. Its combination of mathematical background and the most successful modern applications of the theory make it accessible and interesting to both postgraduate students and more experienced researchers in the field.

Book Description

Keith Blenman returns with his second collection of offbeat short fiction. From the misadventure of a delightfully deceptive statistical engineer to a sidesplitting deal with Death, these stories will definitely leave you thinking. What about? Well, we don't know. But thinking will be done. Happy thoughts. Sad thoughts. Oh yes, your mind will wander in so many tangled and loopy directions; we can't even begin to describe them. But they're loopy. So loopy in fact, you may want to lie down. But first, crack this bad boy to the first page and get ready for the occasionally dark, typically bizarre and always entertaining tales from the faulty mind of an author who screams best seller! No, really. He literally screams it. Honestly. He's screaming it in repetition while holding us hostage as we proofread his back cover. Please, just buy Faulty Wiring and recommend it to a friend. Maybe if it sells he'll actually let us go. Please, there's no time. Save us before he decides to write again. Dear God, why haven't you put this in your shopping cart yet? Lives are in the balance! Help us! Set us free! Buy this book!

Customer Reviews:

Wonderful!.......2005-07-20

Every story of this entertaining collection keeps you wanting more. The characters are fascinating and orginal, the stories sensational. From what warped, genius mind comes a tale of frustration over a stapler? (you have to read it to understand!) What begs the question, "what does a lobster, pistol, and a kantana have to do with eachother?" Where else can one go to find the true hero in all of us? Or hear the tale of the poor Cash, a man with a stolen paycheck, er, or lack of a story as this case maybe. From Bond enforcement agents, children begging to be free, and limitless heros, "Faulty Wiring" in an unique, off-pace collection from a truly brillant mind. Trust me, you need to buy this one!

Keith is great!.......2005-07-07

I work with Keith and he is a great person. I would reccomend this book to everyone. Buy it Buy it!! Besides, Keith really needs the money.. J/K. Anyways, this would make a great coffee table book, or just something to read in your spare time.

Strange, dark and funny.......2005-02-06

Having read Blenman's last book, I was ready to completely disregard this, but a friend told me to trust him so I took a chance. As it turns out, this is a vast improvement. Most of the stories are first person, told by narrators who are twisted beyond all comprehension, which explains the title. Overall, they get into dark and typically humorous situations. The story about the Grim Reaper and the cable repairman is a stitch. I didn't care for the one about freak accidents, just because the entire thing was based on shock value with no real point. But the other stories all showed strong themes and introspective ideas. I would give the book five stars but I caught a few typos. I can forgive them, because Blenman wrote and published the book independently. And they were minor errors. Nothing severe. Overall, it's a must read. Check it out.

Book Description

Originally published by UNC Press in 1989, Fighting for the Confederacy is one of the richest personal accounts in all of the vast literature on the Civil War. Alexander was involved in nearly all of the great battles of the East, from First Manassas through Appomattox, and his duties brought him into frequent contact with most of the high command of the Army of Northern Virginia, including Robert E. Lee, Stonewall Jackson, and James Longstreet. No other Civil War veteran of his stature matched Alexander's ability to discuss operations in penetrating detail—this is especially true of his description of Gettysburg. His narrative is also remarkable for its utterly candid appraisals of leaders on both sides.

Customer Reviews:

Best in personal accounts of the civil war.......2006-01-24

I have read many books of self accounts of the civil war. This book tops all others in the details and extra touch of personal feelings that where experenced by this brave man and all his fellow soldiers that fought this conflict. If you enjoy accounts of the civil war this book is a must read!!!!!

The best memoir by a Confederate.......2005-12-02

While there may be debate what is the best Civil War memoir overall (many would likely pick Grant's), E.P. Alexander's memoir is easily the best written by a Confederate. The book is candid (he was writing it for his family) and pulls no punches about what it was like to serve for the Confederacy. Alexander also led an interesting career, seeing service in both the Eastern and Western Theaters so that makes the book all the more interesting. I could write pages about how good this book is, how well it is written, and what a page turner it is, but several other reviewers have done that so I'll just say--Go read this book. You won't be disappointed.

Doesnt get better than this.......2004-12-11

Outstanding recount and introspective of the motivation and character of the Confederate officer. Alexander does not preach politics but provides a treasury of the chronology and mindset of those serving for the Army of Northern Virginia in the eastern campaigns. Possibly the best book of its kind since Lee, Jackson, A.P. Hill, JEB Stuart never wrote their own memoirs.

Insights into Life during the Civil War.......2004-12-02

Edward Alexander wrote his recollections as a gift to his family well after the fact while serving in a government post in Central America. Of particular interest to me were his stories of life in the Confederate capitol and the day-to-day life experiences of a soldier of the Confederacy during the war. For much of the war he was a colonel/general of artillery. He comments on the battles in which he fought from this limited perspective. Happily, such "technical" commentary is also limited in his work. The book is well written, easy to read; and, for the most part entertaining and informative while at the same time historically accurate.

A Must-Read for anyone interested in the Civil War.......2003-09-22

General Alexander's "Military Memoirs" saw great commercial and critical success when it was published shortly after the turn of the century. His children were constantly asking him for more of a "what it was like" memoir, without all the scholarly overtones. To satisfy them, he drafted a 1200 page manuscript while away on a job in Nicaragua. It disappeared over the years, and was only rediscovered about 10 years ago. With some excellent editing to fill in the blanks in the author's memory, "Fighting for the Confederacy" should be required reading for every Civil War enthusiast.
Compared to his other work, this book is much more personal and informal. He includes some great detail on what military service was like in Utah Territory and California immediately before the war. Like his other book though, he is neither a romantic about the Confederacy (or apologetic for that matter), nor sparing of his views of commanders North or South. If you have an interest in the Civil War, but not especially details of the campaigns, this is probably the better book by Alexander-praise indeed. However, the military historian would benefit from this book as well as "Military Memoirs". Highly Recommended.

Book Description

Educational research and its relationship with policy making and practice has been a perennial concern. This book deals with some basic and controversial questions about that issue, including:

- Can there be harmony in the relationship between researchers and educational policymakers or practitioners?

- Do increases in knowledge always lead to practical improvement, and never to undesirable consequences?

- Would educational research flourish if it were subjected to more central, and external, control?

- What is the role of research reviews in making the results of research publicly available?

Educational Research maps the demands now being made on educational research against the background complexities of the relationship between research and practice.

This book is for students on methodology courses, taught courses and research degrees in education, social science disciplines, social policy, and health studies, both at masters and doctoral level.

Book Description

International Environmental Risk Management: ISO 14000 and the Systems Approach gives readers an extensive analysis of practical applications of ISO 14000 and environmental compliance management systems. It offers a mixture of technical engineering advice, legal guidance, and common-sense business acumen. The authors explain the essentials of the standards - how they are being developed and what implications they present - and then discuss cost-benefit analyses, integration strategies, business risk control measures, litigation avoidance and legal expense reduction, and step-by-step guidance on achieving third-party certification.

Customer Reviews:

the description was excellent regarding risk management.......1999-10-31

This a best book that i have ever gone through and can be useful to any common man with minimum knowledge. I hope this best book to guide your self into safe conditions if you are operating an industry.

Interesting topics - lack of depth.......1999-05-12

Notwithstanding the comments from other reviewers, the authors fall a bit short of expectations. Several chapters are too short (voluntary programs and gap analyses as examples), and references are less than complete. The authors could have devoted more time to this important and much read subject matter.

There are other more comprehensive books: The ISO 14000 Guide (Cascio) and Inside ISO 14000 (Sayer).

As a professional risk manager, I found "International Environmental Risk Management," a recent book by John Voorhees and Robert Woellner, an incredibly insightful tool in helping me address environmental problems within multinational corporations.

The authors evaluate and address environmental risk in a symptomatic way, based on the management system developed by the International Standards Organization headquartered in Switzerland. John Voorhees and Robert Woellner are seasoned professionals who have extensive experience in resolving environmental problems and focus upon the ISO 14000 systems approach. With Voorhees' legal experience and Woellner's analytical and risk-assessment background, readers receive a compelling approach to prepare for, anticipate and resolve environmental issues.

Applying the ISO 14000 systems approach to a global business-strategy is clearly the wave of the future. Reading this book will prepare you for this future by managing your environmental risk today. The protection offered is well worth the price of this excellent book.

Everyone in the organization should read this book........1998-04-28

Here's a new book that offers a different perspective on ISO 14000 than last year's crop of "basics" volumes. "International Environmental Risk Management: ISO 14000 and the Systems Approach" is one of the few books we've seen that mixes basic information on the EMS standard with a discussion of the CERES Principals, Paul Hawken's writings, and sustainability. The book is written by John Voorhees, director of the environmental law practice group of Isaacson, Rosenbaum, Wooks & Levy, and Robert A. Woellner, president of QUEST Management International, LLC; both are based in Denver, Colorado, USA. The authors discuss ways to use the global environmental management standards to manage impacts and risk, as well as legal strategies and voluntary initiatives that companies can use to reduce environmental risks. Placing ISO 14000 in a broader context, they conclude that "business must learn how to eliminate pollution, which will reduce risks and expenses and create opportunities for revenue growth. Environmental management systems may become the most expedient and effective means of transmitting the message to eneryone in the organization that they have an important role in any effort minimizing environmental impacts."

Book Description

The main objective of this book is to dispel some of the conventionally-held views surrounding trade between Europe and Asia in the sixteenth and eighteenth centuries. For instance, through a comparative and comprehensive study of merchant communities, markets and commodities, the individual authors demonstrate that Asian merchants were in no way inferior to Europeans in terms of their commercial operations and business acumen. The book as a whole attempts to view trade between Europe and Asia in its totality and emphasizes similarities rather than differences in the two regions.
