The volumes are arranged geographically with Volume 1 offering interviews from library professionals from the USA and Europe, and with Volume 2 sharing programs from Asia, Africa, Australia, and the Middle East. The volumes highlight the diversity of the types of programs catering to the varying needs of children and young adults throughout the world. Case studies featured in this book outline the details of programs, events, and activities provided by over 40 organizations in the context of social capital and social inclusion. Each interview chapter discusses the contributions made to literacy development and community building of children and teens. With the many variations and examples of best practice, librarians and educators can glean new ideas for their own programs. The interviews reveal the challenges and issues faced and the work being achieved in vastly different environments, in many geographic areas, and in diverse economic, social, and cultural contexts. The programs include those of national and state libraries, public libraries, and mobile libraries carried out by public libraries, NGOs, and commercial organizations in both developed and developing countries. They also feature programs of multicultural libraries, libraries for indigenous people, and libraries for refugees.

The Hellerstein casebook, now authored by four leading experts in the field, provides a comprehensive overview of the field of state and local taxation (SALT), reflecting the most recent developments in this rapidly changing field. The book weaves together two structural approaches to SALT - i.e., by constitutional doctrine (e.g., due process, interstate commerce, equal protection) and by type of tax (individual income, corporate income, sales/use, property). This analytical structure is designed to give students an in-depth understanding of both the fiscal architecture of SALT and the major constitutional limits on subnational taxing power.

Is Laurence Sterne one of the great Christian apologists? Ryan Stark recommends him as such, perhaps to the detriment of the parson's roguish reputation. The book's aim, however, is not to dispel roguishness but rather to discern the theological motives behind Sterne's comic rhetoric, from Tristram Shandy and the sermons to A Sentimental Journey. To this end, Stark reveals a veritable avalanche of biblical themes and allusions to be found in Sterne, often and seemingly awkwardly in the middle of sex jokes, and yet the effect is not to produce irreverence. On the contrary, we find an irreverently reverent apologetic, Stark argues, and a priest who knows how to play gracefully with religious ideas. Through Sterne, in fact, we might rethink humour's role in the service of religion.

Jedermann weiss, was Zement ist, aber selbst in Kreisen, die taglich mit ihm zu tun haben, hat man oft keine Vorstellung davon, wie dieses merkwurdige graue Pulver entsteht, das mit Wasser angemacht, sich in ein steinartiges Gebilde verwandelt, das die Harte und die Festigkeit von Feuerstein erreichen kann. Dies diktierte vor rund 40 Jahren der grosse deutsche Zementchemiker Hans Kuhl als Einleitung fur seine Zementchemie - und diese Worte haben wohl auch heute noch uneingeschrankt Gultigkeit. Wie wird aus diesem merkwurdigen grauen Pulver in Verbindung mit Wasser, Zuschlagen und Zusatzen dieses stein- artige Gebilde, der unumstrittene Baustoff Nummer Eins unserer Zeit, der Beton. Wir haben heute neue Moeglichkeiten, dieser Frage nachzugehen. Eine davon ist das Environmental Scanning Electron Microscope (ESEM-FEG), mit dessen Hilfe Untersuchungen zum Mechanismus der fruhen Hydratation von einzelnen Klinkerphasen und komplizierten Mehrphasensystemen einzelner Zemente moeg- lich werden und nach deren Ergebnissen bisherige Modellvorstellungen zu diesen Fragen zumindest neu uberdacht werden mussen. In diesem Buch werden neue Erkenntnisse von Forschungsarbeiten am F. A. Finger-Institut (FlB) der Bauhaus-Universitat Weimar zu diesen Fragen vorge- stellt. Daneben wird in z.T. zusammenfassenden und z.T. ausfuhrlichen Darstel- lungen ein UEberblick von der Herstellung bis zur praktischen Anwendung der Bindemittel Zement und Kalk gegeben, der sowohl fur Studierende als auch den in Forschung und Praxis Tatigen als Wissensquelle nutzlich sein kann.
