Examining resettlement practices worldwide and drawing on
contributions from anthropology, law, international relations,
social work, political science, and numerous other disciplines,
this ground-breaking volume highlights the conflicts between
refugees' needs and state practices, and assesses international,
regional and national perspectives on resettlement, as well as the
bureaucracies and ideologies involved. It offers a detailed
understanding of resettlement, from the selection of refugees to
their long-term integration in resettling states, and highlights
the relevance of a lifespan approach to resettlement analysis.

How does society form and transform individuals? Sociology has been
asking this question since its inception and “socialization”
has been analyzed from different vantage points by various
prominent thinkers. Socialization offers an overview of some of
these perspectives in the classic work of key theorists and
contemporary research that has either developed or challenged these
ideas. The book argues that, while socialization has sometimes been
framed as an outdated, static approach, it in fact remains highly
relevant and continues to provide valuable insight into how we come
to act and think as we do. Drawing on a wide variety of empirical
examples, the book offers a lively, accessible account of primary
and secondary socialization, and how they interconnect. By
considering socialization as a process that continues throughout
the life course, the book highlights the dynamic and enduring ways
in which the social world is involved in shaping and reshaping
individuals, shedding productive light on the effects of class,
gender, and race, as well as on inequality and domination.
Socialization will appeal to students and scholars in sociology, as
well as other disciplines such as psychology and education.
Adventure isn't just for boys! It’s been 10 years since the men
of the village left to fight in The Great War. Ten years since they
left the women, children and the older generation for a conflict
far away from home and that they knew almost nothing about, except
that it was about the security of their nation, their valley, their
families. Ten years have passed since anyone has had any news of
the war... But the women, rather than feeling sorry for themselves,
quickly took charge of village matters. This is how the Order of
Shepherdess Warriors was formed, a group of female fighters chosen
among the most courageous and acrimonious, to protect not only
their flocks, but also the village! Molly is happy because as soon
as she turns 10 she can finally start training and if she’s good
enough she can join the order, and work out why there are more and
more ferocious wolves in the valley. This quest will take her far
beyond the boundaries of the land she knows, into the sorcerers’
forest and on the trail of her missing parents. Shepherdess
Warriors is the odyssey of a young heroine living great adventures
in a medieval-fantasy universe inspired by Celtic legends. An
endearing story, suitable for most all ages, which gives pride of
place to family and community ties, carried by warm, charming
graphics and a scenario rich in humor with twists and turns. Winner
of the 2022 Angouleme Prize - Best Title for Ages 8-12 & Up!

Discrete Mathematics for New Technology has been designed to cover
the core mathematics requirement for undergraduate computer science
students in the UK and the USA. This has been approached in a
comprehensive way whilst maintaining an easy to follow progression
from the basic mathematical concepts covered by the GCSE in the UK
and by high-school algebra in the USA, to the more sophisticated
mathematical concepts examined in the latter stages of the book.
The rigorous treatment of theory is punctuated by frequent use of
pertinent examples. This is then reinforced with exercises to allow
the reader to achieve a "feel" for the subject at hand. Hints and
solutions are provided for these brain-teasers at the end of the
book. Although aimed primarily at computer science students, the
structured development of the mathematics enables this text to be
used by undergraduate mathematicians, scientists and others who
require an understanding of discrete mathematics. The topics
covered include: logic and the nature of mathematical proof set
theory, relations and functions, matrices and systems of linear
equations, algebraic structures, Boolean algebras and a thorough
treatise on graph theory. The authors have extensive experience of
teaching undergraduate mathematics at colleges and universities in
the British and American systems. They have developed and taught
courses for a varied of non-specialists and have established
reputations for presenting rigorous mathematical concepts in a
manner which is accessible to this audience. Their current research
interests lie in the fields of algebra, topology and mathematics
education. Discrete Mathematics for New Technology is therefore a
rare thing; areadable, friendly textbook designed for
non-mathematicians, presenting material which is at the foundations
of mathematics itself. It is essential reading.
A fun present for cat lovers everywhere: a light-hearted self-help
guide to help you live more like your cat LET YOUR CAT BE YOUR LIFE

work they don't want to do? As if! Do cats rush around hectically
when they'd rather be licking their paws and looking out of the
window? Please. Cats are free. They are calm, observant, wise,
elegant, charismatic and proud. In fact, cats have found nothing
less than the secret of how we should all live, whatever species we
are! And in this book, Stephane Garnier will show you what he's
learned over fifteen years of closely observing his cat, and teach
you all the ways in which you too can apply the secrets of cats to
your own life - at work, at home and with your friends. Unplug your
laptop. Throw away your alarm clock. It's time to live like your

Beginning in the twelfth century, taxation increasingly became an
essential component of medieval society in most parts of Europe.
The state-building process and relations between princes and their
subject cities or between citizens and their rulers were deeply
shaped by fiscal practices. Although medieval taxation has produced
many publications over the past decades there remains no synthesis
of this important subject. This volume provides a comprehensive
overview on a European scale and suggests new paths of inquiry. It
examines the fiscal systems and practices of medieval Europe,
including essential themes such as medieval fiscal theory and the
power to tax; royal and urban taxation; and Church taxation. It
goes on to survey the entire European continent, as well as
including comparative chapters on the non-European medieval world,
exploring questions on how taxation developed and functioned; what
kinds of problems authorities encountered assessing their fiscal
power; and the circulation of fiscal cultures and practices across
cities and kingdoms. The book also provides a glossary of the most
important types of medieval taxes, giving an essential definition
of key terms cited in the chapters. The Routledge Handbook of
Public Taxation in Medieval Europe will appeal to a large audience,
from seasoned scholars who need a comprehensive synthesis, to
students and younger scholars in search of an overview of this
critical subject.

Take a Detailed Look at the Practice of Drystone Retaining Wall
Construction Drystone retaining walls make very efficient use of
local materials, and sit comfortably in their environment. They
make an important contribution to heritage and to the character of
the landscape, and are loved by many people who value the skill and
ingenuity that has gone into their construction, as well as simply
how they look. And yet, in engineering terms, they are complex.
They can deform significantly as their loading changes and their
constituent stones weather. This gives them ductility-they deal
with changes by adapting to them. In some ways, they behave like
conventional concrete retaining walls, but in many ways they are
better. They cannot be designed or assessed correctly unless these
differences are understood. Implementing concepts that require no
prior knowledge of civil engineering, the authors: Explain the
behavior of earth retaining structures Provide a theoretical
framework for modeling the mechanical stability of a drystone
retaining wall Outline reliable rules for constructing a drystone
retaining wall Include charts to support the preliminary sizing of
drystone retaining walls Examine the relevance of drystone in terms
of sustainability Describe more advanced methods of analysis
Drystone Retaining Walls: Design, Construction and Assessment draws
on theoretical work and full-scale practical testing to explain how
these structures work, without presuming that the reader has
received an engineering education. The book goes on to give enough
detail to give the professional engineer confidence in the methods
used in design and assessment, and insight into what matters most
in the way in which drystone retaining walls are built. It shows
how to design ne
