The modern mammal metropolis of Zootopia is a city like no other. Comprised of habitat neighborhoods like ritzy Sahara Square and frigid Tundratown, it’s a melting pot where animals from every environment live together—a place where no matter what you are, from the biggest elephant to the smallest shrew, you can be anything.
But when optimistic Officer Judy Hopps arrives, she discovers that being the first bunny on a police force of big, tough animals isn’t so easy.
Determined to prove herself, she jumps at the opportunity to crack a case, even if it means partnering with a fast-talking, scam-artist fox, Nick Wilde, to solve the mystery.

'Today's questions regarding foreign aid centre around aid
allocation dynamics, the impact on trade and growth for receivers
as well as donors, and, quite frequently, on aid effectiveness. The
inter-relationship between aid and politics are also topics of high
interest. These are precisely the issues that the Handbook edited
by B. Mak Arvin and Byron Lew deals with. In more than 30
contributions, some highly renowned development scholars use the
theoretical state of the art combined with empirically based
econometric approaches to analyse various issues in the foreign aid
field. It is a great pleasure for science-oriented readers to find
a wealth of findings derived from hard data and rigorous analytical
methods. The book is an excellent contribution to the current
foreign aid discussion.' - Siegfried Schoenherr, Ifo Institute for
Economic Research, Germany 'A title like Handbook on the Economics
of Foreign Aid is ambitious; it promises coverage of literature
that spans from theory to empirics, from macro to micro levels of
analysis, from positive to normative economics. This Handbook
fulfills this ambition 100 percent. It will be the single place
that people will go to get a state-of-the-art survey of a
particular issue. Some chapters are written by established experts
in the area, others by newcomers that bring a fresh view on the
issues involved. All in all, a book that future researchers in
foreign aid must consult.' - Pascalis Raimondos, Copenhagen
Business School, Denmark It would be fair to say that foreign aid
today is one of the most important factors in international
relations and in the national economy of many countries - as well
as one of the most researched fields in economics. Although much
has been written on the subject of foreign aid, this book
contributes by taking stock of knowledge in the field, with
chapters summarizing long-standing debates as well as the latest
advances. Several contributions provide new analytical insights or
empirical evidence on different aspects of aid, including how aid
may be linked to trade and the motives for aid giving. As a whole,
the book demonstrates how researchers have dealt with increasingly
complex issues over time - both theoretical and empirical - on the
allocation, impact, and efficacy of aid, with aid policies placed
at the center of the discussion. In addition to students,
academics, researchers, and policymakers involved in development
economics and foreign aid, this Handbook will appeal to all those
interested in development issues and international policies.

Longleaf pine forests are an iconic forest of the southeastern
United States. Although these forests were often called "pine
barrens" by early explorers and colonists, they were far from
barren. Frequent and low-intensity surface fires are fueled by the
unique plant diversity of the forest itself and serve as the
catalyst that perpetuates the ecosystem on which many rare species
depend. With this guide, authors John McGuire, Carol Denhof, and
Byron Levan reveal the forest’s unique characteristics by shining
a light on its inhabitants, the ecological processes that are
necessary for their survival, and how we as humans play a role in
shaping this ecosystem. Covering a wide range of topics, such as
the anatomy of the longleaf tree, its history (and revival), and
the surrounding fauna and flora, the authors provide the general
reader with a thorough understanding of a forest that used to
stretch as far as the eye could see. They claim that although the
remnants of this once-great longleaf pine forest exist, they are
often just a reminder of its former majesty, only recognizable to
the informed observer. The Forest That Fire Made is dedicated to
introducing the next generation of outdoor enthusiasts to many of
the unique animals and plants that their ancestors would have
known. This guide includes three hundred color images of the flora
and fauna that make longleaf pine forests their habitat and more
than forty detailed drawings that document the most common species
of animals, plants, and insects found there. It also describes more
than forty longleaf pine forests to visit in nine southern states:
Alabama, Florida, Georgia, Louisiana, Mississippi, North Carolina,
South Carolina, Texas, and Virginia. In these preserved areas (many
of which are publicly accessible), one can still experience the
majesty of these once-dominant ecological communities.
The Ethics of Climate Change: An Introduction systematically and
comprehensively examines the ethical issues surrounding arguably
the greatest threat now facing humanity. This second edition has
been updated and includes two new chapters on climate change and
capitalism and climate change and law. Williston addresses
important questions such as: Has humanity entered the Anthropocene
epoch? Is climate change primarily an ethical or an economic issue?
Can capitalism be reformed to prevent climate catastrophe? What are
the moral failings of international climate diplomacy? What are the
main causes of political inaction and climate denial? Should tort
law be used to sue those responsible for climate change? What are
intragenerational and intergenerational justice? Is geoengineering
an ethically justifiable response to climate change? Featuring case
studies throughout, this textbook provides a philosophical
introduction to an immensely topical issue studied by students
within the fields of applied ethics, global justice,
sustainability, geography, and politics.

The operation of schools in the Arab world is a topic about which
very little is known in the West. This volume, first published in
1991, provides information about the Arab school and thus
contributes to an understanding of what is taught, by whom, and
under what conditions. It seeks to define the interaction between
traditional elements and innovative forces impinging on the Arab
school, as well as reviewing policies that concern the education of
Arab children. It is maintained that Arab schools are in a state of
transition, reproducing society and its norms on one hand while on
the other operating as agents seeking to transform society. This
work examines this claim in detail, providing a unique discussion
about education in the Arab world.

It's not what we know, but how we learn. This is the key that
Learning to Read the Signs uses in order to evaluate and apply
ideas and facts to one's organization life. The book asks the
reader to go back to and reclaim pragmatism: an activity of thought
involving four parts: Investigation, Hypothesis, Action, and
Testing. Pragmatism is a method of interpretation or inquiry which
offers to the thoughtful business practitioner a way to better
understand the reality in which we operate, to think critically and
creatively, and for business people to think together to make the
best use of all our perspectives and talents. Questions raised in
this book include: What are the signs telling us? Where are we
headed and why? Why are things going the way they are? What is our
purpose?
This book explores how digital media can extend care practices
among friends and peers, researching young people's negotiations of
sexual health, mental health, gender/sexuality, and dating apps,
and highlighting the need for a multifocal approach that centres
young people's expertise. Taking an "everyday practice" approach to
digital and social media, Digital Media, Friendship and Cultures of
Care emphasises that digital media are not novel but integrated
into daily life. The book introduces the concept of "digital
cultures of care" as a new framework through which to consider
digital practices of friendship and peer support, and how these
play out across a range of platforms and networks. Challenging
common public and academic concerns about peer and friendship
influences on young people, these terms are unpacked and
reconsidered through attention to digital media, drawing on
qualitative research findings to argue that digital and social
media have created important new opportunities for emotional
support, particularly for young people and LGBTQ+ people who are
often excluded from formal healthcare and social support. This book
and its comprehensive focus on friendship will be of interest to a
range of readers, including academics, students, health promoters,
educators, policymakers, and advocacy groups for either young
people, LGBTQ+ communities, or digital citizenship. Academics most
interested in this book will be working in digital media studies,
health sociology, critical public health, health communication,
sexualities, cultural studies, sex education, and gender studies.
