Leading scholars assess the transformations in energy security policy that flow from recognition of global climate change. They explore through case studies the key policy responses formulated in the Asia-Pacific and identify potential synergies between energy policy and climate mitigation efforts.

The launch of clinical governance in the late 1990s was accompanied by a measure of excitement although, at that stage, it was impossible to determine whether this was really to be the start of a quality-driven revolution in healthcare. Since its inception, much has been done to turn the concepts behind clinical governance into practical reality. Have these efforts been successful? Many would argue that the jury is still out. The authors have approached the topic from the diverse backgrounds offered by urological surgery, general practice and public health medicine. The result is a commentary on the evolution of clinical governance that has the firm anchors of practicality and realism. The book looks at clinical governance from the perspective of the practising clinician and explains what clinical governance has to offer them. Doctors, nurses, therapists and managers should all find something of interest and practical value within these pages.

An essential textbook for anyone preparing to be a researcher, this comprehensive volume introduces graduate students to key principles of observational measurement of behavior. Based on a course the highly respected authors taught at Vanderbilt University and the University of Minnesota, this text delves deeply into a highly effective approach to observational measurement: systematic observation. Students will master both the theoretical principles of systematic observation and recommended research methods and techniques. They'll learn from practical examples that illustrate complex concepts, clear explanations of recommended research methods, definitions of key terms, and exercises and assignments that help them practice putting principles into action. Online companion materials include two free licenses for proprietary observational software that students can use to complete the exercises and assignments in this book. Ideal for use in research methodology courses in diverse fields-including special education, communication sciences, psychology, and social work-this fundamental graduate text will prepare future researchers to skillfully collect, summarize, and communicate their observations of children's behavior.
