Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not
used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad
quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are
images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to
keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the
original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain
imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made
available for future generations to enjoy.
Educational gerontology is the study of the changes in the learning
process caused by old age. This new edition provides an update of
developments in this field of research. The volume probes topics
such as implications for education for the aging, reminiscence,
methods of teaching, social exchange and equal opportunity.
The third edition of this highly respected textbook introduces
students of public administration to the practical issues of
administrative law. While useful to law school students, it is most
relevant to public management students. The presentation provides a
concise foundation to the history and theory of administrative law,
rule making, and judicial decisions. The most important issues in
administrative law are included-meaningful issues for present and
future administrators. A larger number of recent cases and other
up-to-date information will be found in the book in order to make
the student aware of the kinds of legal problems likely to be
encountered in public agencies. One or two cases illustrate each
problem at hand, rather than discussing numerous arcane court
decisions and technicalities of legal procedure, in order to sketch
the broad contours of the present law.
This book analyzes the evolution and operation of political
institutions in Russia from its emergence from the shadow of the
disintegrating Union of Soviet Socialist Republic through its first
decade as an independent state. Emphasizing structures and
problems, the main topics treated are constitutional development,
presidential-parliamentary relations, electoral politics, the party
system, and the search for a workable federalism, including
descriptions of principal people and events.
Combining a journalist's view of major trials with a
political-legal analysis, this text gives a picture of the politics
of justice in Russia. Coverage of major court cases ranges from the
1961 trial of the currency speculators to the Communist Party trial
of 1992.
The contributors to this volume - all specialists on Soviet law and
politics - offer a comprehensive examination of the effort to
create a "law-based" state in the Gorbachev-era U.S.S.R., thus
effecting a fundamental change in the relationship between the
state and private groups and individuals. Gianmaria Ajani, Donald
Barry, Harold Berman, Frances Foster-Simons, George Ginsburgs, John
Hazard, Kathryn Hendley, Eugene Huskey, Dietrich Loeber, Peter
Maggs, Hiroshi Oda, Nicolai Petro, Robert Sharlet, Louise Shelley,
Will Simons and Peter Solomon, with commentary by Soviet scholars,
discuss conceptual, historical, social, cultural, and institutional
aspects of Soviet legal development, and supply detailed analysis
of recent developments in the areas of civil, criminal, and labour
law and the rights of individuals, economic organizations, and
political and social groups.

Biomining uses microorganisms to recover metals, in particular
copper and gold, from ores and concentrates. This book takes a
strong applied approach to the study of biomining. It describes
emerging and established industrial processes, as well as the
underlying theory of the process, along with the biology of the
microorganisms involved. Chapters have been contributed by experts
from leading biomining companies, consultants and internationally
recognized researchers and academics.
This work provides a broad survey of the development of female
insurgency in France between 1789 and 1871, placing particular
emphasis on the conflicts of 1830-1851. The author demonstrates
that a tradition of women's protest evolved from the 1789
Revolution, assuming particular forms associated with the exclusion
of females from political and civil rights, and inviting both
praise and vilification. The conclusions challenge the view that in
19th-century France, women retreated altogether from popular
movements.
Although Jesus' parables may seem simple on the surface, they
convey deep and complex truths about God's Kingdom. The parables
Jesus uses in his teaching aren't merely illustrations or moral
tales. They are intricate stories that reveal the mysteries central
to the kingdom of God. In this volume of the Not Your Average Bible
Study series, John D. Barry unravels the many layers of Jesus'
parables, showing us the radical truths contained within. With an
eye toward practical application and personal reflection, this
Bible study is the perfect way to study the teachings of Jesus on
your own or in a group.
Geometry with Trigonometry Second Edition is a second course in
plane Euclidean geometry, second in the sense that many of its
basic concepts will have been dealt with at school, less precisely.
It gets underway with a large section of pure geometry in Chapters
2 to 5 inclusive, in which many familiar results are efficiently
proved, although the logical frame work is not traditional. In
Chapter 6 there is a convenient introduction of coordinate geometry
in which the only use of angles is to handle the perpendicularity
or parallelism of lines. Cartesian equations and parametric
equations of a line are developed and there are several
applications. In Chapter 7 basic properties of circles are
developed, the mid-line of an angle-support, and sensed distances.
In the short Chaper 8 there is a treatment of translations, axial
symmetries and more generally isometries. In Chapter 9 trigonometry
is dealt with in an original way which e.g. allows concepts such as
clockwise and anticlockwise to be handled in a way which is not
purely visual. By the stage of Chapter 9 we have a context in which
calculus can be developed. In Chapter 10 the use of complex numbers
as coordinates is introduced and the great conveniences this
notation allows are systematically exploited. Many and varied
topics are dealt with , including sensed angles, sensed area of a
triangle, angles between lines as opposed to angles between
co-initial half-lines (duo-angles). In Chapter 11 various
convenient methods of proving geometrical results are established,
position vectors, areal coordinates, an original concept mobile
coordinates. In Chapter 12 trigonometric functions in the context
of calculus are treated. New to this edition: The second edition
has been comprehensively revised over three years Errors have been
corrected and some proofs marginally improved The substantial
difference is that Chapter 11 has been significantly extended,
particularly the role of mobile coordinates, and a more thorough
account of the material is given
