In contrast to the Cold War era the new European order is
characterised by uncertainty, fluidity and new security challenges
including separatism, ethnic conflict and intra-state conflict.
This book examines the process of change and its implications for:
transatlantic relations, institutional development, regional
stability and NATO's rationale. Balkan instability forms a major
theme of the work illustrating the challenge for policy-makers. The
book concludes with a discussion of NATO enlargement and relations
with Russia.
Since the end of the Cold War, international institutions have had to rise to challenges of instability and insecurity in Europe. Fergus Carr and Theresa Callan examine the changing nature of European security, cooperation, and conflict. A key theme is the development of the new European security architecture and the roles of NATO, the Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe, the European Union and the United Nations as security providers in contemporary Europe.
'This is the best nuts-and-bolts guide for improving teaching and
learning in our schools. Carr and Harris have been successful in
every school district they have consulted in. Now we have access to
their insight and experience in a book that is perfectly laid out
with examples and worksheets to guide successful instructional
improvement. If you're serious about instructional leadership, this
is the one book you need on your desk'-Kenneth W. Eastwood,
Superintendent , Middletown City School District, NY Although
schools and districts across the country have made notable strides
in their instructional programs, educators continue to struggle
with developing curriculum that addresses each learner's needs and
strengths, is aligned to instruction and assessment, supports
standards-based learning, and results in increased student
learning. In this book, the authors provide a curriculum and
improvement process that not only shows school leaders how to
design a strong, coherent curriculum but also leads the reader
through the critical processes of implementing and then evaluating
that curriculum for instructional improvement. This resource is
packed with ready-to-use tools that can be tailored to meet
site-specific needs and includes examples from schools and
districts, proven strategies, guidelines and worksheets, graphics
and vignettes that illustrate key points, and questions that
promote reflection. The book addresses key issues, including - How
is curriculum put together? - Who should be involved and what
should be included? - How should we go about it and how long will
it take? - What should be considered during implementation? - How
is curriculum evaluated? Whether you are experienced or just
getting started, Improving Standards-Based Learning provides an
accessible framework with numerous tools for developing a
curriculum that can generate substantive improvement in teaching
and learning.

No single individual did more to promote sea turtle research and
conservation than Archie Carr (1909-1987). So entwined did he
become with these creatures and the fight against their
overexploitation and loss of habitat that the largest wildlife
refuge for loggerhead turtles in the world was named in his honor,
and World Sea Turtle Day is celebrated internationally on his
birthday, June 16. Carr's work with sea turtles began in the 1940s.
His many publications written for general readers, including his
1956 classic The Windward Road,alongside numerous articles for
National Geographic and other publications, brought widespread
attention to the plight of these animals. So Excellent a Fishe,
first published in 1967, combined everything the careful researcher
had learned in more than two decades of fieldwork. This
groundbreaking book answered many then-unresolved questions about
sea turtle behavior, including those about their remarkable
migrations. In large part because of the endearing charm of Carr's
narrative style, it remains a beloved and often-consulted volume in
the field. This new edition captures Carr's gentle humor, his
passionate fascination with sea turtles, and his intense love of
sharing his knowledge with readers. A foreword by Karen Bjorndal,
director of the Archie Carr Center for Sea Turtle Research, brings
the story up to date even as it reveals how prescient Carr was more
than 45 years ago.
Selected Writings of Irmengard Rauch represents that portion of
Irmengard Rauch's articles which center on contemporary and
historical Germanic linguistic phenomena. They thus speak to the
principal North, East, and West Germanic dialects. Her authored
books The Old High German Diphthongization: A Description of a
Phonemic Change (1967); The Old Saxon Language: Grammar, Epic
Narrative, Linguistic Interference (1992); Semiotic Insights: The
Data Do the Talking (1998); The Gothic Language: Grammar, Genetic
Provenance and Typology, Readings (2003, 2011); The
Phonology/Paraphonology Interface and the Sounds of German Across
Time (2008) stand on their own. Her contributions to linguistic
fieldwork are documented in BAG-Bay Area German Linguistic
Fieldwork Project (2015). Rauch's writings spanning half a century,
from the early sixties to the present, encompass an array of
subjects from the state of the art, to multiple language
components, that is, segmental and prosodic phonological,
morphological, syntactic, semantic, and pragmatic topics informing
Germanic languages, as well as to literature and to nonverbal
communication. Linguistic and interdisciplinary methods imbue all
of her writings. At the University of Michigan, Ann Arbor, where
Generative Grammar made early inroads, she was trained as an
American structuralist, reaping the benefits of the functionalist
Prague School, preceded by Saussure, the Neogrammarians, Darwin,
Rask, Grimm (all 19th-century instigators of linguistics as a
science), and of the founding of the LSA. Since the early seventies
she opened her methods of analysis to the semiotic approach of
Locke, Saussure, and Peirce. Consequently, Rauch's writings exploit
the combined approaches of linguistics and semiotics. These are the
inextricable work-horses, which in combination, enhance her
arguments detailing given linguistic problems that define the field
of General and Germanic Linguistics and thus feed the
multi-disciplinary research interests of both seasoned researchers
and neophytes.
"Moral schools are founded on authenticity, integrity, and
democracy. This is an essential guide for educators who are

Few pastors continue to read their Hebrew Old Testament after
seminary. One reason is that it is too time-consuming, since many
words have to be looked up in the dictionary. The Reader's
Hebrew-English Lexicon of the Old Testament, now for the first time
complete in one volume, enables the pastor and the student to read
the Hebrew Old Testament with relative ease. Listed in sequence by
chapter and verse are all words that occur fewer than fifty times
in the Old Testament, complete with translation (based on Brown,
Driver, and Briggs' Lexicon) and numbers indicating how often the
word occurs in the particular book and in the Old Testament as a
whole. At the end of each entry is the page number in Brown,
Driver, and Briggs' Lexicon where a discussion of the word can be
found. Appendixes list all Hebrew words occurring more than fifty
times in the Old Testament and all Aramaic words occurring more
than ten times.
