This timely volume offers an in-depth theoretical analysis of
children's experiences growing up with mobile internet
technologies. Drawing on up-to-date research, it explores the
relationship between childhood as a social and cultural
construction and the plethora of mobile internet technologies which
have become ubiquitous in everyday life.
The single most important issue in American constitutional law is
the role the Supreme Court should play in interpretation of the
constitution. This issue has been a source of controversy since at
least 1803, when Chief Justice John Marshall proclaimed that the
Supreme Court could declare acts of Congress unconstitutional. But
public attention has been refocused by the recent debate between
Attorney General Edwin Meese and Supreme Court Justice William
Brennan. The Attorney General admonished the Justices to confine
themselves to strict construction of the Constitution-to apply the
Constitution as the framers intended. Justice Brennan rejected this
as errant and arrogant because the framers had certainly not
thought about the specific problems facing the country today.
In "The Art of Judging," Professor James A. Bond characterizes
this controversy as a debate between advocates of two different
styles of judging. Judicial "craftsmen" look backward for guidance:
to the text of the Constitution, the original understanding of that
text, and the historical experiences of the American people.
Judicial " statesmen" look forward for guidance: to moral and
political ideals and notions of the public good. And only the
former style, Professor Bond argues, can preserve both the rule of
law and constitution in a democracy. Judicial statesmanship
undermines the power of the majority to make the law and thereby
lessens people's willingness to accept constitutional limitations
on the majority rule that make it palatable to those in the
minority. But judicial craftsmanship respects the authority of the
people at the same time that it enforces constitutional limitations
on that authority.
" James A. Bond" is the Dean of the University of Puget Sound
School of Law, and has taught at Wake Forest University and
Washington and Lee University. From his youthful involvement in the
civil rights movement to his long tenure as President of the Fund
for the Protection of Individual Rights, he has been involved in
helping persons struggling against the overwhelming power of the
state. As a student and scholar of constitutional law, he has
focused primarily on how the Supreme Court should exercise its
mandate to protect the individual from the state.
This is volume 2 of Planets, Stars and Stellar Systems, a
six-volume compendium of modern astronomical research, covering
subjects of key interest to the main fields of contemporary
astronomy. This volume on Astronomical Techniques, Software, and
Data edited by Howard E. Bond presents accessible review chapters
on Astronomical Photometry, Astronomical Spectroscopy, Infrared
Astronomy Fundamentals, Astronomical Polarimetry: Polarized Views
of Stars and Planets, Sky Surveys, Techniques of Radio Astronomy,
Radio and Optical Interferometry: Basic Observing Techniques and
Data Analysis, Absolute Calibration of Spectrophotometric Standard
Stars, Virtual Observatories, Data Mining, and Astroinformatics,
Statistical Methods for Astronomy, Numerical Techniques in
Astrophysics .
All chapters of the handbook were written by practicing
professionals. They include sufficient background material and
references to the current literature to allow readers to learn
enough about a specialty within astronomy, astrophysics and
cosmology to get started on their own practical research projects.
In the spirit of the series Stars and Stellar Systems published by
Chicago University Press in the 1960s and 1970s, each chapter of
Planets, Stars and Stellar Systems can stand on its own as a
fundamental review of its respective sub-discipline, and each
volume can be used as a textbook or recommended reference work for
advanced undergraduate or postgraduate courses. Advanced students
and professional astronomers in their roles as both lecturers and
researchers will welcome Planets, Stars and Stellar Systems as a
comprehensive and pedagogical reference work on astronomy,
astrophysics and cosmology.

The Southern ratification debate on the 14th Amendment was a
part of the bitter, decade-long struggle to reconstruct and later
redeem the South. This book makes clear that amidst all the
conflict and cacophony of the period, the commands of the 14th
Amendment were widely and uniformly understood. The three great
clauses of Section 1 of the 14th Amendment were intended both to
guarantee everyone the fundamental rights of citizenship and
personhood and to nationalize the protection of those rights within
the federal structure ordained by the Constitution. That means that
the states were to retain primary responsibility for defining and
protecting those rights, subject only to the requirement that they
treat all fairly and equally. Rooted in the natural rights
philosophy of the Declaration of Independence rather than in the
text of the Bill of Rights, the commands of the 14th Amendment were
intended to protect liberty in an inseparable union of states. This
study lets the participants in these events speak for themselves:
in official reports; in party platforms and campaign speeches; in
resolutions from meetings, rallies, and conventions; in editorials
and letters to the editor; and in private diaries and personal
correspondence. Much of the documentary evidence in this book is
being published for the first time.
Riots, insurrections, guerrilla movements, civil wars--all forms of
internal conflict are increasing throughout the world. The
conditions that breed domestic violence in the Third World persist,
and events in Ulster and Quebec have shown that more advanced
industrial countries are not immune from civil disorder. The
subject of James E. Bond's book--how can we regulate civil
guerrilla warfare?--is therefore one of the most critical questions
of our time. Originally published in 1974. The Princeton Legacy
Library uses the latest print-on-demand technology to again make
available previously out-of-print books from the distinguished
backlist of Princeton University Press. These editions preserve the
original texts of these important books while presenting them in
durable paperback and hardcover editions. The goal of the Princeton
Legacy Library is to vastly increase access to the rich scholarly
heritage found in the thousands of books published by Princeton
University Press since its founding in 1905.

The miracles that God has wrought in my life and the secret cure
for cancer that has been hidden for four thousand years
There is a lot of talk these days about the space business. It may
be about new and cheaper ways to launch rockets. Or maybe it's
about space planes like SpaceshipOne, spaceports being built in the
desert, or space tourism and space hotels. It's all good stuff. But
when it comes to real business in space, there is only one: the
satellite business. It's the only one that makes money today and
has been making money for decades. If the satellite business sounds
like an interesting place to start a career, you're in the right
place. In the pages of Liftoff, you can learn about the industry,
the kind of careers it offers, the qualifications they require, and
the best ways to get a career started.
Planets, Stars and Stellar Systems is a compendium of modern
astronomical research covering subjects of key interest to the main
fields of contemporary astronomy. The six volumes of the set edited
by Terry Oswalt (Editor-in-Chief) comprise:
Volume 1: Telescopes and Instrumentation Ian McLean (Ed.)
Volume 2: Astronomical Techniques, Software, and Data Howard E.
Bond (Ed.)
Volume 3: Solar and Stellar Planetary Systems Linda French; Paul
Kalas (Eds.)
Volume 4: Stellar Structure and Evolution Martin A. Barstow
(Ed.)
Volume 5: Stellar Systems and Galactic Structure Gerard Gilmore
(Ed.)
Volume 6: Extragalactic Astronomy and Cosmology William C. Keel

Each of the approximately 85 chapters is written by a practicing
professional within the appropriate sub-discipline. They include
sufficient background material and references to the current
literature to allow one to learn enough about a specialty within
astronomy, astrophysics and cosmology to get started on a practical
research project. In the spirit of the series Stars and Stellar
Systems published by Chicago University Press in the 1960s and
1970s each chapter of Planets, Stars and Stellar Systems stands on
its own as a fundamental review of its respective sub-discipline
