Captures a moment in history through the experiences of
Environmental Health Practitioners in meeting the complex
challenges presented by the COVID-19 pandemic. Features the
observations of practitioners in the field as to the different
practical issues encountered globally, suggesting the lessons
learnt for current practice in infectious disease control. Expands
upon the reflections of some of the professional bodies around the
world as to how the response of EHPs to the COVID-19 pandemic
should see a renewed commitment to public health through
Environmental Health. Provides a valuable resource to EHPs in
current practice and training, other public health professionals
and those looking to build a better health protection service,
including policy makers.

Originally published in 1986. Those involved in management in
schools are being urged to develop their management skills and many
courses are developed for this purpose. At the same time many new
issues have arisen which require attention from managers in
schools. These include: staff appraisal, curriculum evaluation and
action research. This book examines major topics of present concern
in the management of secondary schools. It presents much new
thinking on these major problems and reports on particular
initiatives. The aim is to help improve practice, both by helping
trainers focus their courses correctly and by encouraging those
involved in school management to approach their work more
purposefully. School management is treated from the perspective of
the industrial trainer, the Local Education Authority, higher
education and the school practitioner.
Effective schools or improving schools are fashionable terms in the rhetoric of recent education movements, yet the heart of these movements is often more to do with teaching quality than with school practice. This book takes a holistic view of teacher development, examining the contexts and conditions of teaching: school leadership and culture; teachers' lives and histories; change; teacher learning, competence and expertise; and the moral purposes of teaching. Day looks at the conditions under which teacher development may be enhanced, and brings together research and other information, from the UK and overseas.
Effective schools or improving schools are fashionable terms in the
rhetoric of recent education movements, yet the heart of these
movements is often more to do with teaching quality than with
school practice. Even so, these movements often offer little in
terms of increased knowledge for teachers' learning or preparation
for change. This book takes an holistic view of teacher
development, examining the contexts and conditions of teaching:
school leadership and culture; teachers' lives and histories;
change; teacher learning, competence and expertise; and the moral
purposes of teaching. Chris Day looks at the conditions under which
teacher development may be enhanced, and brings together research
and other information, from the UK and overseas, to demonstrate
those conditions.

This open access book contributes to the creation of a cyber
ecosystem supported by blockchain technology in which technology
and people can coexist in harmony. Blockchains have shown that
trusted records, or ledgers, of permanent data can be stored on the
Internet in a decentralized manner. The decentralization of the
recording process is expected to significantly economize the cost
of transactions. Creating a ledger on data, a blockchain makes it
possible to designate the owner of each piece of data, to trade
data pieces, and to market them. This book examines the formation
of markets for various types of data from the theory of market
quality proposed and developed by M. Yano. Blockchains are expected
to give data itself the status of a new production factor. Bringing
ownership of data to the hands of data producers, blockchains can
reduce the possibility of information leakage, enhance the sharing
and use of IoT data, and prevent data monopoly and misuse. The
industry will have a bright future as soon as better technology is
developed and when a healthy infrastructure is created to support
the blockchain market.

Drawing upon a range of practical and theoretical knowledge, the
authors explore all aspects of the leadership role. Professional
development, collaboration and self-knowledge are at the centre of
their approach, in the belief that people prefer to be led rather
than to be managed and that leadership applies equally to the work
of classroom teachers, as well as to the head. The purposes and
processes of leading and managing primary schools, like processes
of teaching and learning are complex. They defy generalized
prescriptions, easy analysis and simplistic solutions. In this book
the authors explore the intricate processes involved in helping
people to be, and to perform, at their best, believing that
excellent leaders are judged not only by outcomes, but also by the
quality of their vision, their relationships, plans and policies
and their commitment to growth and achievement for children and
staff.
An examination of the understudied, yet significant role of Florida
and its populace during the Civil War. In many respects Florida
remains the forgotten state of the Confederacy. Journalist Horace
Greeley once referred to Florida in the Civil War as the "smallest
tadpole in the dirty pool of secession." Although it was the third
state to secede, Florida's small population and meager industrial
resources made the state of little strategic importance. Because it
was the site of only one major battle, it has, with a few
exceptions, been overlooked within the field of Civil War studies.
During the Civil War, more than fifteen thousand Floridians served
the Confederacy, a third of which were lost to combat and disease.
The Union also drew the service of another twelve hundred white
Floridians and more than a thousand free blacks and escaped slaves.
Florida had more than eight thousand miles of coastline to defend,
and eventually found itself with Confederates holding the interior
and Federals occupying the coasts--a tenuous state of affairs for
all. Florida's substantial Hispanic and Catholic populations shaped
wartime history in ways unique from many other states. Florida also
served as a valuable supplier of cattle, salt, cotton, and other
items to the blockaded South. A Forgotten Front: Florida during the
Civil War Era provides a much-needed overview of the Civil War in
Florida. Editors Seth A. Weitz and Jonathan C. Sheppard provide
insight into a commonly neglected area of Civil War historiography.
The essays in this volume examine the most significant military
engagements and the guerrilla warfare necessitated by the occupied
coastline. Contributors look at the politics of war, beginning with
the decade prior to the outbreak of the war through secession and
wartime leadership and examine the period through the lenses of
race, slavery, women, religion, ethnicity, and historical memory.
