This accessible textbook introduces a wide spectrum of ideas,
approaches, and examples that make up the emerging field of
implementation science, including implementation theory, processes
and methods, data collection and analysis, brokering interest on
the ground, and sustainable implementation. Containing over 60
concise essays, each addressing the thorny problem of how we can
make care more evidence-informed, this book looks at how
implementation science should be defined, how it can be conducted,
and how it is assessed. It offers vital insight into how research
findings that are derived from healthcare contexts can help make
sense of service delivery and patient encounters. Each entry
concentrates on an important concept and examines the idea's
evidence base, root causes and effects, ideas and applications, and
methodologies and methods. Revealing a very human side to
caregiving, but also tackling its more complex and technological
aspects, the contributors draw on real-life healthcare examples to
look both at why things go right in introducing a new intervention
and at what can go wrong. Implementation Science: The Key Concepts
provides a toolbox of rich, contemporary thought from leading
international thinkers, clearly and succinctly delivered. This
comprehensive and enlightening range of ideas and examples brought
together in one place is essential reading for all students,
researchers, and practitioners with an interest in translating
knowledge into practice in healthcare.

Packed with precise, step-by-step checklists, detailed
illustrations, and informative chapter explanations, the Electrical
Inspection Manual, 2014 Edition identifies important Code rules and
provides guidance on how-to organize checklists by occupancy type
to increase thoroughness and decrease the likelihood of overlooking
potential problems. Written by certified electrical inspectors, and
endorsed by the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) and the
International Association of Electrical Inspectors (IAEI), this
fully illustrated manual explains significant tasks, defines terms,
outlines key questions, and provides a concise overview of the
electrical inspection process. The training manual is intended to
assist electrical inspectors as well as anyone performing a review
for Code compliance in advance of a professional inspection. This
audience may include, but is not limited to: designers, insurance
inspectors, architects, installers, project managers, and safety
officers.
The conceptual process of drug discovery is one that is often the
result of an identified need in a defined disease area. This need
represents a mandate from the marketing department of a phar-
maceutical company or a breakthrough at the research level that has
agreed applicability in response to a valid therapeutic demand.
Although the intelligent design and development of new thera-
peutic entities, as evidenced by Sir James Black's H -receptor an-
2 tagonist cimetidine (Tagamet), is intellectually satisfying, many
novel drugs arise from serendipity, from the chance observation of
the research scientist or the clinician, that a compound has unex-
pected actions of use for the treatment of human disease states.
Drugs that have been identified by this route include the antipsy-
chotic chlorpromazine and the putative anxiolytic buspirone. The
events surrounding the process of drug discovery and de- velopment
are the theme of the present volume, which attempts to present, in
a logical and lucid manner, the complexity of a process that is
often naively assumed to represent nothing more than the
identification of a new compound and its rapid introduction into
humans, free of such complications as efficacy, selectivity,
safety, bioavailability, toxicity, and need.

Essays on the various manifestations of Charlemagne and his
legends. This book explores the multiplicity of ways in which the
Charlemagne legend was recorded in Latin texts of the central and
later Middle Ages, moving beyond some of the earlier canonical "raw
materials", such as Einhard's Vita Karoli Magni, to focus on
productions of the eleventh to fifteenth centuries. A distinctive
feature of the volume's coverage is the diversity of Latin textual
environments and genres that the contributors examine in their
work,including chronicles, liturgy and pseudo-histories, as well as
apologetical treatises and works of hagiography and literature.
Perhaps most importantly, the book examines the "many lives" that
Charlemagne was believed to have lived by successive generations of
medieval Latin writers, for whom he was not only a king and an
emperor but also a saint, a crusader, and, indeed, a necrophiliac.

This report chronicles intelligence community efforts over more
than half a decade to improve community-wide workforce planning and
management. As decisionmakers look ahead to an era of constrained
budgets, they must avoid repeating earlier workforce planning
mistakes because the consequences of such mistakes can be long
lasting. The tools described will help decisionmakers maintain
workforce capabilities as budgets decline

When the first two volumes of William Crosskey's monumental study
of the Constitution appeared in 1953, Arthur M. Schlesinger called
it perhaps the most fertile commentary on that document since The
Federalist papers. It was highly controversial as well. The work
was a comprehensive reassessment of the meaning of the
Constitution, based on examination of eighteenth-century usages of
key political and legal concepts and terms. Crosskey's basic thesis
was that the Founding Fathers truly intended a government with
plenary, nationwide powers, and not, as in the received views, a
limited federalism.
This third volume of Politics and the Constitution, which Crosskey
began and William Jeffrey has finished, treats political activity
in the period 1776-87, and is in many ways the heart of the work as
Crosskey conceived it. In support of the lexicographic analysis of
volumes 1 and 2, volume 3 shows that nationalist ideas and
sentiments were a powerful force in American public opinion from
the Revolution to the eve of the Constitutional Convention. The
creation of a generally empowered national government in
Philadelphia, it is argued, was the fruition of a long-active
political movement, not the unintended or accidental result of a
temporary conservative coalition.
This view of the political background of the Constitutional
Convention directly challenges the Madisonian-Jeffersonian
orthodoxy on the subject. In support of his interpretation,
Crosskey amassed a wealth of primary source materials, including
heretofore unexplored pamphlets and newspapers. This exhaustive
research makes this unique work invaluable for scholars of the
period, both for the primary sources collected as well as for the
provocative interpretation offered.
