national, state, and county levels. Compiled from official U.S.
government sources, this book contains historical and current data,
insightful analysis, and useful graphs that provide compelling

questions about education, including: * What are the nationwide
trends in earnings by educational attainment level? * Is the
earnings gap between high school graduates and college graduates
growing or shrinking? * What is the average cost to attend college?
* Which states have the highest and lowest high school dropout
rates? * How do unemployment rates differ by educational
attainment? * What is the correlation between family income and

As D:Ream famously sang in their 1994 chart-topper, "Things Can
Only Get Bigger" ... and here, to prove how right they were is the
2019 Viz annual The Pieman's Wig. Hot on the heels of last year's
biggest ever Viz annual, this year's is even biggester, with 220
pages of * Cartoons: Fat Slags, Roger Mellie, 8 Ace, Mrs Brady, Big
Vern and many more * Articles: Sex Robots, the Joy of Flatpack
Furniture, Stephen Hawkins' A Brief History of Time Travel and
Who's Who in the 1970s School Playground. * Adventure stories: Pest
Force Alaska, Tiny Cox the Pocket Physicist, Drill Sergeant Jumbo
and The Binman that Fear Forgot. Plus more hilarious letters, Top
Tips and spoof ads than you can shake a stick 10% bigger than last
year's at. Now in its 33rd year, the Viz annual is as much a part
of the festive season as the Queen's Speech*, overcooked sprouts,
and ironic Christmas jumpers. And The Pieman's Wig is funnier than
all of those things. Except for ironic Christmas jumpers, which
really are very funny indeed. *Her majesty still alive at the time
of going to press.
The International Directory of Government is the definitive guide
to people in power in every part of the world. All the top
decision-makers are included in this one-volume publication, which
brings together government institutions, agencies and personnel
from the largest nations (China, India, Russia, etc.) to the
smallest overseas dependencies (Guadeloupe, Guernsey and Christmas
Island, etc). Institutional entries contain the names and titles of
principal officials, postal, e-mail and internet addresses,
telephone and fax numbers, and other relevant details. Key
features: - comprehensive lists of government ministers and
ministries - coverage of state-related agencies and other
institutions arranged by subject heading - details of important
state, provincial and regional administrations, including
information on US states, Russian republics, and the states and
territories of India.
The contributions to this volume focus on a diverse array of topics
in international law, with scholarly interventions from experts in
the field, both in academia and the judiciary, as well as case
commentary on a recent decision of the International Court of
Justice (Chagos Decision). The theoretical and methodological
breadth of the issues covered are relevant to audiences beyond the

includes analysis on critical intellectual property law questions;
intersections of national, regional and international law and
technology; the African Continental Free Trade Area Agreement; and
