This title was first published in 1973.
This title was first published in 1973. Education in the
Scandinavian countries has commanded significant international
attention over the past decade. Initiatives taken to promote
comprehensive educational planning, the democratization of
educational opportunity, curricular and structural renewal,
university reform, innovation in adult education, and an
international perspective in instruction at every level are but
some of the developments that educators throughout the world have
followed with interest. Those interested in education in the Nordic
societies, Stewart and Barbara Fraser's annotated bibliography of
English-language materials on Scandinavian education will provide
an important new reservoir of source materials. The bibliography is
conveniently cross-referenced and organized into specialized
educational categories
Overcome ERM implementation challenges by taking cues from leading
global organizations Implementing Enterprise Risk Management is a
practical guide to establishing an effective ERM system by applying
best practices at a granular level. Case studies of leading
organizations including Mars, Statoil, LEGO, British Columbia
Lottery Corporation, and Astro illustrate the real-world
implementation of ERM on a macro level, while also addressing how
ERM informs the response to specific incidents. Readers will learn
how top companies are effectively constructing ERM systems to
positively drive financial growth and manage operational and
outside risk factors. By addressing the challenges of adopting ERM
in large organizations with different functioning silos and
well-established processes, this guide provides expert insight into
fitting the new framework into cultures resistant to change.
Enterprise risk management covers accidental losses as well as
financial, strategic, operational, and other risks. Recent economic
and financial market volatility has fueled a heightened interest in
ERM, and regulators and investors have begun to scrutinize
companies' risk-management policies and procedures. Implementing
Enterprise Risk Management provides clear, demonstrative
instruction on establishing a strong, effective system. Readers
will learn to: * Put the right people in the right places to build
a strong ERM framework * Establish an ERM system in the face of
cultural, logistical, and historical challenges * Create a common
language and reporting system for communicating key risk indicators
* Create a risk-aware culture without discouraging beneficial
risk-taking behaviors ERM is a complex endeavor, requiring expert
planning, organization, and leadership, with the goal of steering a
company's activities in a direction that minimizes the effects of
risk on financial value and performance. Corporate boards are
increasingly required to review and report on the adequacy of ERM
in the organizations they administer, and Implementing Enterprise
Risk Management offers operative guidance for creating a program
that will pass muster.
The natural wealth of the Amazon and Andes has long attracted
fortune seekers, from explorers, farmers, and gold panners to
multimillion-dollar mining, oil and gas, and timber operations.
Modern demands for commodities have given rise to new development
schemes, including hydroelectric dams, open cast mines, and
industrial agricultural operations. The history of human habitation
in this region is intimately tied to its rich biodiversity, and the
Amazon basin is home to scores of indigenous groups, many of whom
have populations so small that their cultural and physical survival
is endangered. Landscapes of Inequity explores the debate over
rights to and use of resources and addresses fundamental questions
that inform the debate in the western Amazon basin, from the Andes
Mountains to the tropical lowlands. Beginning with an examination
of the divergent conceptual interpretations of environmental
justice, the volume explores the issue from two interlocking
perspectives: of indigenous peoples and of economic development in
a global economy. The volume concludes by examining the efficacy of
laws and policies concerning the environment in the region, the
viability and range of judicial recourse, and future directions in
the field of environmental justice.
The Second Edition of the cutting edge work, The Handbook of
Humanistic Psychology, by Kirk J. Schneider, J. Fraser Pierson and
James F. T. Bugental, represents the very latest scholarship in the
field of humanistic psychology and psychotherapy. Set against
trends inclined toward psychological standardization and
medicalization, the handbook offers a rich tapestry of reflection
by the leading person-centered scholars of our time. Their range in
topics is far-reaching-from the historical, theoretical and
methodological, to the spiritual, psychotherapeutic and
multicultural.

Anion recognition plays a critical role in a range of biological
processes, and a variety of receptors and carriers can be found
throughout the natural world. Chemists working in the area of
supramolecular chemistry have created a range of anion receptors,
drawing inspiration from nature as well as their own inventive
processes. This book traces the origins of anion recognition
chemistry as a unique sub-field in supramolecular chemistry while
illustrating the basic approaches currently being used to effect
receptor design. The combination of biological overview and summary
of current synthetic approaches provides a coverage that is both
comprehensive and comprehensible. First, the authors detail the key
design motifs that have been used to generate synthetic receptors
and which are likely to provide the basis for further developments.
They also highlight briefly some of the features that are present
in naturally occurring anion recognition and transport systems and
summarise the applications of anion recognition chemistry.
Providing as it does a detailed review for practitioners in the
field and a concise introduction to the topic for newcomers, Anion
Receptor Chemistry reflects the current state of the art. Fully
referenced and illustrated in colour, it is a welcome addition to
the literature.
Two hundred years after a catastrophe that ruined the planet,
humanity re-emerges with a whole new purpose and ideology. In the
newly-built city of Stopfordia, a traffic cop is embroiled in a
murder mystery. A chef at a diner on the edge of town turns to
androids to satisfy his basest desires. An assassin, facing exile,
finds her whole life transformed. A farmer finds himself on trial
in front of a jury of thousands for a crime of horrific
proportions. A journalist, facing unemployment, turns to a life of
crime to keep the stories bleeding in. And a sex worker peers
behind the curtain, only to discover that life in Stopfordia is not
as it seems. This is the world of Dystopolis: where the pursuit of
a perfect life can take you to places you'd never expect to end up.
