ASM Handbook, Volume 17 helps readers select, use, and interpret
methods used to nondestructively test and analyze engineered
products and assemblies. Digital technology is transforming the
implementation of NDE and is covered extensively. New case studies

insights which are needed to provide the data needed to solve many
real-world NDE problems, to understand and measure early
degradation, and to give the required data for remaining safe life
or prognostic prediction.
This unique "yearbook" captures the extraordinary events and
effects of 2020 on children and media scholars and practitioners.
Contributors reflect on how the compounding crises of 2020-the
COVID-19 pandemic, international protests for racial justice, and
the climate crisis-have prompted them to re-evaluate some aspects
of their research, teaching, or production related to children,
adolescents, and media. Crises can be opportunities for clarity,
revealing creative ways to address collective challenges. This
volume, which began as a special issue of Journal of Children and
Media, reveals such insights. Contributors discuss how the crises
of 2020: Prompted them to reconsider theories and concepts central
to research on children, adolescents, and media Fostered new
priorities for how and what they teach Spurred creative ways to
produce high-quality, accessible educational media for children
globally Affected their media engagement with their own children,
while they researched children's media use during social distancing
Weighed more heavily on scholars and practitioners of color, and
how professional communities can best respond to those challenges
These 36 international contributions reveal how children and media
scholars and professionals worked through the crises of 2020,
putting newfound clarity to creative use in the service of children
all over the world.
This in-depth case study of a mid-sized police department captures
the dynamics, struggles, and successes of police change, revealing
the positive organizational and community outcomes that resulted
from a persistent drive to reinvent public safety and community
relationships. The police profession in the United States faces a
legitimacy problem. It is critical that police are prepared to
change constantly, be adaptive, and adopt openness to
self-reflection and external comparison, moving beyond their
comfort zone to overcome the inevitable cultural, structural, and
political obstacles. Using previously unpublished longitudinal data
examining a 25-year period, Bond-Fortier offers a rich account of
the complexity of police management and change within one
particular mid-sized city: Lowell, Massachusetts. The
multidisciplinary lens applied provides crucial insights into how
and why police organizations respond to a changing environment, set
certain goals, and make decisions about how to achieve those goals.
The book analyzes the community and organizational forces that
stimulated change in the Lowell Police Department, describes the
changes that enabled the department to achieve national model
status, and builds a nexus between influencing forces,
interdisciplinary theory, and the creation of an adaptive
21st-century police organization. Organizational Change in an Urban
Police Department: Innovating to Reform is essential reading for
academics and students in criminal justice, criminology,
organizational studies, public administration, sociology, political
science, and public policy programs, as well as government
executives, crime policy analysts, and public- and private-sector
managers and leaders engaged in professional development and
leadership courses.

Large regions of the world are regularly burnt either deliberately
or naturally. However, despite the widespread occurrence of such
fire-prone ecosystems, and considerable body of research on plant
population biology in relation to fire, until now there have only
been limited attempts at a coherent conceptual synthesis of the
field for use by students or researchers.
Exploring the role of fire in each of the five Mediterranean-type
climate ecosystems, this book offers a unique view of the evolution
of fire-adapted traits and the role of fire in shaping Earth's
ecosystems. Analyzing these geographically separate but
ecologically convergent ecosystems provides key tools for
understanding fire regime diversity and its role in the assembly
and evolutionary convergence of ecosystems. Topics covered include
regional patterns, the ecological role of wildfires, the evolution
of species within those systems, and the ways in which societies
have adapted to living in fire-prone environments. Outlining
complex processes clearly and methodically, the discussion
challenges the belief that climate and soils alone can explain the
global distribution and assembly of plant communities. An ideal
research tool for graduates and researchers, this study provides
valuable insights into fire management and the requirements for
regionally tailored approaches to fire management across the globe.
"Remember When" presents a nostalgic view of the history and
cultural heritage of Elberton, Georgia. Carolyn's keen interest in
the history of Elbert County led her to write local history stories
for the Elberton Star. Over the years, she has assembled an ample
collection of historical and genealogical books, articles and
various other documents, along with conversations and interviews
with long-time residents from which she draws her thoughts. This,
her first book is based on the stories and research coming from
these sources and is presented here in her delightful, homespun
storytelling style where her Christian beliefs and devotion often
shine through. Carolyn says, "It has been a joy to spend quality
time, after retirement, doing something I thoroughly enjoy."

expression of atheism - together with a humble, evangelical
response. Concepts such as general worldview, universal origins,
morality, and ultimate purpose are explored and then set beside a
Biblical framework of reality.

has killed her father, Carla's only desire is to revenge her

shattered by the arrival of the misanthropic George Bullard. The
unpleasant Bullard goes out of his way to taunt and annoy both

murdered, everyone in the hotel comes under suspicion as having a
motive to kill him. And when a second guest is pushed down the

murderer. A first-rate British crime novel
The purpose of this research project is to uncover the history of
the 2nd Ranger Company and to determine the impact segregation had
on the selection, training, and combat operations of the 2nd Ranger
Company. Subordinate questions are: What effect did black officers
commanding black soldiers have on unit cohesion? How did
leadership, training, and leader development contribute to
successful combat operations? What role did the perception of
inferiority, unwillingness to fight, and racial discrimination have
on training, support, and combat operations? What role did
segregation in the society play on integration of the Army in
Korea?
