In this comprehensive study, Elizabeth Crawford provides the first
survey of women's suffrage campaigns across the British Isles and
Ireland, focusing on local campaigns and activists. Divided into
thirteen sections covering the regions of England, Wales, Scotland
and Ireland, this book gives a unique geographical dimension to
debates on the suffrage campaign of the nineteenth and early
twentieth centuries Through a study of the grass-roots activists
involved in the movement, Crawford provides a counter to studies
that have focused on the politics and personalities that dominated
at a national level, and reveals that, far from providing merely
passive backing to the cause, women in the regions were engaged in
the movement as active participants Including a thorough inventory
of archival sources and extensive bibliographical and biographical
references for each region, including the addresses of campaigners,
this guide is essential for researchers, scholars, local historians
and students alike.
While franchising promotes economic and social welfare objectives,
Elizabeth Crawford Spencer argues that monitoring and regulation
are needed to address potential areas of abuse of the form that can
result in costly market inefficiencies. This unique study surveys
franchise-specific legislation worldwide as a starting point for a
thorough examination and analysis of the role of both private and
public regulation of the sector in the context of current
theoretical approaches to regulating contractual relationships. The
book concludes that properly calibrated regulation can minimize
inefficient allocations of power and risk and lead to maximum
economic and social benefits by promoting the development of small
business, enabling the growth of entrepreneurial skills, and
facilitating economic well-being and independence among SMEs.This
comparative survey will prove to be invaluable for academics in
franchising marketing, management, law and practice. The Regulation
of Franchising in the New Global Economy will also appeal to
franchise law practitioners, consultants, policymakers and those
wishing to influence policy on all sides of the debate in the many
jurisdictions that are engaging in the processes of adopting, or
reviewing, franchise regulation.
Elisabeth Crawford's new study departs from the commonly held
notion that universalism and internationalism are inherent features
of science. Showing how the rise of scientific organizations around
the turn of the century centered on national scientific
enterprises, Crawford argues that scientific activities of the late
nineteenth century were an integral part of the emergence of the
nation-state in Europe. Internationalism in science, both
theoretical and practical, began to hold sway over scientists only
when economic relations and transportation and communication
facilities began to cross national boundaries. The founding of the
Nobel prize in 1901 confirmed the internationalization of science.
The workings of the Nobel institution rested on an international
community of scientists who forwarded candidates for the prizes.
Along with the candidates and eventual prizewinners, they
constituted the Nobel population, which, in the fields of chemistry
and physics between 1901 and 1939, numbered more than a thousand
scientists of greater and lesser renown from 25 countries. Crawford
uses the Nobel population for prosopographic studies that shed new
light on national and international science between 1901 and 1939.
Her four studies examine critically the following problems: the
upsurge of nationalism among scientists of warring nations during
and after World War I and its consequences for internationalism in
science, the existence of a scientific center and periphery in
Central Europe, the effective use of the Nobel prizes in an
organization whose primary purpose was to further national science,
and the elite conception of science in the United States and its
role in the success of thenational scientific enterprise. Two
introductory chapters provide necessary background by discussing
research methodology, and national and international science
between 1880 and 1914.

International private law had become increasingly legislation based
and subject to European and global regulation. It is essential for
students to have ready access to the statutes and other core
materials. This volume provides ready access to a wide-ranging
selection of materials on those areas of private law in which a
foreign element may arise. It includes UK and Scottish statutes and
statutory instruments, EU materials and International Conventions.
New material includes the European Union (Withdrawal) Act 2018, as
amended by the 2020 Act, and the 2019 Hague Convention, and covers
prospective amendments relating to jurisdiction and family law
consequent to the UK's exit from the EU. Amended provisions are
reproduced in parallel with the current law.

Create a pathway to equity by detracking mathematics The
tracked mathematics system has been operating in US schools for
decades. However, research demonstrates negative effects on
subgroups of students by keeping them in a single math track,
thereby denying them access to rigorous coursework needed for
college and career readiness. The journey to change this involves
confronting some long-standing beliefs and structures in education.
When supported with the right structures, instructional shifts,
coalition building, and educator training and support, the
detracking of mathematics courses can be a primary pathway to
equity. The ultimate goal is to increase more students’ access to
and achievement in higher levels of mathematics
learning–especially for students who are historically
marginalized. Based on the stories and lessons learned from the San
Francisco Unified School District educators who have talked the
talk and walked the walk, this book provides a model for all those
involved in taking on detracking efforts from policymakers and
school administrators, to math coaches and teachers. By sharing
stories of real-world examples, lessons learned, and prompts to
provoke discussion about your own context, the book walks you
through:Â Designing and gaining support for a policy of
detracked math courses Implementing the policy through practical
shifts in scheduling, curriculum, professional development, and
coaching Supporting and improving the policy through continuous
research, monitoring, and maintenance. This book offers the
big ideas that help you in your own unique journey to advance
equity in your school or district’s mathematics education and
also provides practical information to help students in a detracked
system thrive.
Before you read this book you better have a sweet tea or mint julep
close by, you'll need something, because this book is steaming hot.
