This book makes a comprehensive, multi-disciplinary argument for
investing in effective early childhood education programs,
especially those that develop in children their proven natural
capacity to construct knowledge by building meaningful
relationships. Recent insights in the fields of law, policy,
economics, pedagogy, and neuroscience demonstrate that these
particular programs produce robust educational, social, and
economic benefits for children and for the country. The book also
provides legal and political strategies for achieving these proven
benefits as well as pedagogical strategies for developing the most
effective early childhood education programs. The book concludes by
making visible the wonderful learning that can take place in an
early education environment where teachers are afforded the
professional judgment to encourage children to construct their own
knowledge through indispensable learning relationships.
Understandings of sexuality and sex education have changed
dramatically, and in this collection, the authors explore the
various texts that were used to teach, to entertain, to sanction
and to form a sexual standard for a nation. According to Nelson and
Martin, these include a puberty education, sermons on abstinence,
medical writings promoting sexual fulfillment, Hollywood comedies
about sexual coming of age and picture books validating
homosexuality. The essays included here are designed to illustrate
the many responses that Anglophone culture has had to such texts
for over a century.
This is the hardback version. Golden Goddesses vibrantly casts
light upon twenty-five significant women involved in the erotic
film industry during its Golden Era, between the years 1968-1985
when participation in adult productions was illegal. Profiling
performers, directors, scriptwriters and costumers, Golden
Goddesses is a palate of insights, intimacy, vulnerability and
strength, as it immerses readers into the lives of these celebrated
and audacious females. Featuring the author's own interviews with
Marilyn Chambers, Seka, Kay Parker, Rhonda Jo Petty, Serena,
Georgina Spelvin, Juliet Anderson, Candida Royalle, Sharon
Mitchell, Gloria Leonard, Annie Sprinkle, Ann Perry, Jody Maxwell,
Barbara Mills, Veronica Hart, Kelly Nichols, Ginger Lynn, Kitten
Natividad, Amber Lynn, Laurie Holmes, Christy Canyon, Julia St.
Vincent, Roberta Findlay, Nina Hartley and Raven Touchstone, Golden
Goddesses also includes film highlights and more than 300 photos.
These fascinating women of classic adult film are presented with
depth, sensitivity, and historical scope while capturing the
quintessence of a rebellious spirit from days gone by.
After decades of evolving practice often tested in court,
development impact fees have become institutionalized in the
American planning and local government finance systems. But, they
remain contentious, especially as they continue to evolve. This
book is the third in a series of impact fee guidebooks for
practitioners, following A Practitioner's Guide to Development
Impact Fees and Impact Fees: Proportionate Share Development Fees.
Proportionate Share Impact Fees and Development Mitigation is the
culmination of the authors' careers devoted to pioneering
applications of the dual rational nexus test. That test requires
(1) establishing the rational nexus between the need for
infrastructure, broadly defined, to mitigate the impacts of
development and (2) ensuring that development mitigating its
infrastructure impacts benefits proportionately. The book elevates
professional practice in two ways. First, it shows how the rational
nexus test can be applied to all forms of development
infrastructure impact mitigation. Second, it establishes the link
between professional ethics and equity as applied to proportionate
share impact fees and development mitigation. The book is divided
into four parts, with the first reviewing policy and legal
foundations, the second detailing the planning, calculation, and
implementation requirements, the third exploring economic, ethical,
and equity implications, and the fourth presenting state-of-the-art
case studies. Proportionate Share Impact Fees and Development
Mitigation sets new standards for professional practice.

One of the policies that has been most widely used to try to limit
urban sprawl has been that of urban containment. These policies are
planning controls limiting the growth of cities in an attempt to
preserve open rural uses, such as habitat, agriculture and
forestry, in urban regions. While there has been a substantial
amount of research into these urban containment policies, most have
focused on issues of land use, consumption, transportation impacts
or economic development issues. This book examines the effects of
urban containment policies on key social issues, such as housing,
wealth building and creation, racial segregation and
gentrification. It argues that, while the policies make important
contributions to environmental sustainability, they also affect
affordability for all the economic groups of citizens aside from
the most wealthy. However, it also puts forward suggestions for
revising such policies to counter these possible negative social
impacts. As such, it will be valuable reading for scholars of
environmental planning, social policy and regional development, as
well as for policy makers.

ELEMENTARY TECHNICAL MATHEMATICS Eleventh Edition is written to
help students with minimal math background successfully prepare for
technical, trade, allied health, or Tech Prep programs. The authors
focus on fundamental concepts in basic arithmetic including the
metric system and measurement, algebra, geometry, trigonometry, and
statistics, which are supported by thousands of examples,
exercises, and applications surrounding such fields as industrial
and construction trades, electronics, agriculture/horticulture,
allied health, CAD/drafting, HVAC, welding, auto/diesel service,
aviation, natural resources, culinary arts, business/personal
finance, and others. For this revision, the authors have added over
150 new exercises, 30 new examples, new applications categories,
and a new appendix on simple inequalities. The goal of ELEMENTARY
TECHNICAL MATHEMATICS is to engage students and provide them with
the math background they need to succeed in future courses and
careers.

This study presents an analysis of morphological case in Finnish
within the Principles and Parameters framework. Finnish has a rich
system of inflection for both case and agreement, making it an
important language for testing hypotheses about the relationships
between morphological case and abstract Case, and Case/case and
agreement. The focus of the study is a set of syntactic
environments where internal DP arguments appear in nominative case,
but alternate with accusative personal pronouns. Because these
environments lack an external argument coindexed with agreement,
the data is particularly relevant to predictions made by Burzio's
Generalization. By testing the generalization against a range of
sentence types, Finnish is shown to contain an ergative split
within an accusative main system. The assignment of the objective
cases, accusative and partitive, is linked with the licensing of
aspectual roles at D-structure, and finite Tense posited as a
bi-unique Case assigner. The case split then arises as the result
of two case features being assigned simultaneously to an internal
argument, objective Case at D-structure associated with aspect, and
nominative Case at S-structure associated with finite Tense where
an external argument is not available. Morphological spell-out
rules for particular argument types are proposed which determine
the surface case realization of doubly-case assigned nominals.
This book presents a comprehensive method by which to determine the
proportionate share of the costs and revenues generated by the
development of new water, wastewater, and stormwater facilities. It
presents a rational, legally defensible approach to assessing
charges based on the use of new and existing facilities to support
new system development. Written by a consultant who has helped
hundreds of communities deal with how to pay for growth, the book
is designed for all communities presently engaged in calculating
and administering charges for new development, as well as those
planning for future growth.
Design for Learning in Virtual Worlds, the first book focused
specifically on how to design virtual worlds for educational
purposes, explores: * the history and evolution of virtual worlds *
the theories behind the use of virtual worlds for learning * the
design of curricula in virtual worlds * design guidelines for
elements experienced in virtual worlds that support learning *
design guidelines for learning quests and activities in virtual
worlds. The authors also examine the theories and associated design
principles used to create embedded assessments in virtual worlds.
Finally, a framework and methodology is provided to assist
professionals in evaluating "off-the-shelf" virtual worlds for use
in educational and training settings. Design for Learning in
Virtual Worlds will be invaluable both as a professional resource
and as a textbook for courses within Educational Technology,
Learning Sciences, and Library Media programs that focus on gaming
or online learning environments.

Growth Management Principles and Practices shows how to integrate
diverse growth management practices into a comprehensive system
that balances potentially competing planning goals.Authors Nelson
and Duncan argue that growth planning must be coordinated among
different levels of government and across regions in order to be
effective. Studies of growth trends, profiles of regulations in
various states, and numerous tables and photographs illustrate the
benefits of properly integrated growth management activities and
the adverse effects of unmanaged growth and poor planning. The
authors also explain how growth management fits into a broad policy
framework. They look at how growth management can protect
taxpayers, help governments plan for public facilities when and
where they're needed, distribute facility costs according to
burdens imposed and benefits receives, and protect local and
regional economic bases.
Introduction to Renewable Energy, Second Edition covers the
fundamentals of renewable energy and serves as a resource to
undergraduates in renewable energy courses, non-specialists within
the energy industries, or anyone working to support the successful
implementation of renewable energy. The second edition discusses
developments that have occurred since the publication of the first
edition and considers the growing environmental impact of human
activity on planet Earth. Dedicated to converging science and
technology in a way that ensures a sustainable future, this book
outlines the basics of renewable energy and focuses on current and
developing policies that support the shift to renewable energy. New
in the second edition, the book addresses bioenergy, energy
balance, biodiesel, photovoltaic applications, and climate change.
The authors take a multidisciplinary approach and share their
observations on trending technologies (including neuroscience,
artificial intelligence, virtual reality (VR), nanotechnology, and
genetic engineering) that they predict will have a significant
impact in the next 25 years. Attributing the major problems in the
world to overconsumption and overpopulation, they outline solutions
that depend on global and local policies and work to reduce
consumption, population growth, greenhouse gas emissions,
environmental pollution, and military expenditures. In addition,
the book proposes possible answers to our energy dilemma that
include: Reduced demand of fossil fuels to depletion rate
Transition to zero population growth and the beginning of a
steady-state society A tax placed on carbon Implementing more
policies and incentives to increase conservation and efficiency and
to decrease the emissions of carbon dioxide "... a basic
introduction to renewable energy... for non-engineering and physics
students... a balanced book in terms of content and topics covered
... with limited interests for professionals working in the field."

Women around the world are opting out of marriage. Through nuanced
ethnographic accounts of the ways that women are moving the needle
on marital norms and practices, Opting Out reveals the conditions
that make this widespread phenomenon possible in places where
marriage has long been obligatory. Each chapter invites readers
into the lives of particular women and the changing circumstances
in which these lives unfold - sometimes painfully, sometimes
humorously, and always unexpectedly. Taken together, the essays in
this volume prompt the following questions: Why is marriage so
consistently disappointing for women? When the rewards of economic
stability and the social status that marriage confers are troubled,
does marriage offer women anything compelling at all? Across
diverse geographic contexts in Africa, Asia, and Latin America,
this book offers sensitive and powerful portrayals of women as they
escape or reshape marriage into a more rewarding arrangement.
