The study of Regal and Republican Rome presents a difficult and yet exciting challenge. The extant evidence, which for the most part is literary, is late, sparse, and difficult, and the value of it has long been a subject of intense and sometimes heated scholarly discussion. This volume provides students with an introduction to a range of important problems in the study of ancient Rome during the Regal and Republican periods in one accessible collection, bringing together a diverse range of influential papers. Of particular importance is the question of the value of the historiographical evidence (i.e. what the Romans themselves wrote about their past). By juxtaposing different and sometimes incompatible reactions to the evidence, the collection aims to challenge its readers and invite them to join the debate, and to assess the ancient evidence and modern interpretations of it for themselves.

A Black man's struggle through the military in America. The author kept a journal of activities throuhout his life. After being asked numerous time to put into words those achievements to inspire readers to look into the life of a child who heard over time "most likely not to succeed"and rose above those negative comments. The author shares his early years, college, military career and assignments, private industry, his minstry as a Pernament Deacon, and founder of a Safety and Environmental Engineering and Construction company.

This book aims to explore the social and cultural issues within the economic changes that have given rise to service work. Written by specialists in their respective fields, this book draws together authors from interdisciplinary areas that are carrying out significant research into gender and service work within an international context.

FINANCIAL MATHEMATICS BY CLARENCE H. RICHARDSON, PH. D.

All Rights Reserved Thin book, or any parts thereof, may not be reproduced in any form without written per mission from the authors and the publishers. Based on Business fathematics, I. L. Miller, copyright 1935 second edition copyright 1939 and Commercial Algebra and Mathematics of Finance, I. L. Miller and C. H. Richardson, copyright 1939 by D. Van Nostrand Company, Inc. PRINTED IN THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA PREFACE This text is designed for a three-hour, one-year course for students who desire a knowledge of the mathematics of modern business and finance. While the vocational aspects of the subject should be especially attractive to students of commerce and business administration, yet an understanding of the topics that are considered interest, discount, an nuities, bond valuation, depreciation, insurance may well be desirable information for the educated layman. To live intelligently in this complex age requires more than a super ficial knowledge of the topics to which we have just alluded, and it is pal pably absurd to contend that the knowledge of interest, discount, bonds, and insurance that one acquires in school arithmetic is sufficient to under stand modern finance. Try as one may, one cannot escape questions of finance. The real issue is shall we deal with them with understanding and effectiveness or with superficiality and ineffectiveness Whilethis text presupposes a knowledge of elementary algebra, we have listed for the students convenience, page x, a page of important formulas from Miller and Richardson, Algebra Commercial Statistical that should be adequate for the well-prepared student. Although we make frequent reference to this Algebra in this text on Financial Mathematics, the necessary formulas are found in this reference list. In the writing of this text the general student and not the pure mathe matician has been kept constantly in mind. The text includes those tech niques and artifices that many years of experience in teaching the subject have proved to be pedagogically fruitful. Some general features may be enumerated here 1 The illustrative examples are numerous and are worked out in detail, many of them having been solved by more than one method in order that the student may compare the respective methods of attack. 2 Line diagrams, valuable in the analysis and presentation of problem material, have been given emphasis. 3 Summaries of important formulas occur at strategic points. 4 The exercises and problems are nu frierous, and they are purposely selected to show the applications of the theory to the many fields of activity. These exercises and problems are abundant, and no class will hope to do more than half of them. 5 Sets iv Preface of review problems are found at the ends of the chapters and the end of the book. A few special features have also been included 1 Interest and dis count have been treated with unusual care, the similarities and differences having been pointed out with detail. 2 The treatment of annuities is pedagogical and logical. This treatment has been made purposely flexible so that, if itis desired, the applications may be made to depend upon two general formulas. No new formulas are developed for the solution of problems involving annuities due and deferred annuities, and these special annuities are analyzed in terms of ordinary annuities. 3 The discussion of probability and its application to insurance is more extended than that found in many texts. In this edition we are including Answers to the exercises and problems...

When H. Richardson, a young dedicated patrolman is asked to join a group of veteran detectives he sees it as an opportunity to rise in the department. This has been his dream, to be a cop-to be a detective. He will soon learn about the streets and about the choices that forces dedicated cops over the edge-all in the name of good. He will find that sometimes it is dangerous on both sides of the line and he will take you on that journey as he crosses that line in this novel-"Lines Crossed."

You are taken deep inside the inner-workings of a narcotics unit and their procedures from working with informants-to the undercover, and the arrest. Also shown is the corruption that goes on by the police and prosecutors. Richardson incorporates his personal and love life and how it is affected by his undercover work to make this and enjoyable fast-paced read.

This is a poignant tale with lessons for everyone-police officers, hustlers and the common citizen. You will learn that there are good people on the streets and behind the badge and what forces them over the edge.

A Sketch of the Life and Character of Col. Alexander W. Doniphan
by D. C. Allen
A horse soldier's war
Doniphan's Expedition was an interesting sideshow of the American-Mexican War. His force, composed of men raised in Missouri, moved down the Santa Fe trail eventually meeting in battle and defeating a Mexican Army many times its own size at the Battle of Sacramento. What makes this book fascinating is that it is a narrative of these remarkable men and this noteworthy achievement from within the ranks and by the pen of a very ordinary private soldier. The march, the camp and the battlefield are brought graphically to life within its pages. Essential reading for those fascinated by the Mexican War, the history of the West and the experiences of ordinary Americans in war time. Available in soft cover and hard cover with dust jacket.

This book documents the failed attempt of successive social studies curriculum to create a sustainable mythic structure of Canadian identity, and it situates teachers in the uneasy space between the modernist concepts of national identity prescribed in the curriculum and the lived world of the classrooms they experience daily. In The Death of the Good Canadian, George H. Richardson endeavors to represent the ambivalence of curriculum delivery in an era when there is frequently a striking dissonance between the rigid boundaries that the modernist curriculum creates between national self and other, and the more hybrid and problematic sense of national identity formation as an ongoing process of the articulation of cultural difference, which is suggested by the plural classrooms of the twenty-first century.

Drawing on critical pedagogy, post-colonial analysis, hermeneutic interpretation, and reconceptualist curriculum frameworks, the twenty chapters in this edited collection address, from interrelated perspectives, a gap in the scholarly literature on the theory, practice, and policy of global citizenship and global citizenship education. The book provides readers with analyses and interpretations of the existing state of global citizenship education in post-secondary institutions, and stimulates discussion about the field at a time when there is an intense debate about the current drive to "internationalize" tertiary education and the role global citizenship education should play in that process. International and interdisciplinary in its examination of post-secondary global citizenship education, the book will be useful in courses that focus on policy formation, curriculum development and theorizing in the field.

This book highlights the theoretical foundations of and experimental techniques in photothermal heating and applications involving nanoscale heat generation using gold nanostructures embedded in various media. The experimental techniques presented involve a combination of nanothermometers doped with rare-earth atoms, plasmonic heaters and near-field microscopy. The theoretical foundations are based on the Maxwell's and heat diffusion equations. In particular, the working principle and application of AlGaN:Er3+ film, Er2O3 nanoparticles and -NaYF4:Yb3+,Er3+ nanocrystals for nanothermometry based on Er3+ emission are discussed. The relationship between superheated liquid and bubble formation for optically excited nanostructures and the effects of the surrounding medium and solution properties on light absorption and scattering are presented. The application of Er2O3 and -NaYF4:Yb3+,Er3+ nanocrystals to study the temperature of optically heated gold nanoparticles is also presented. In closing, the book presents a new thermal imaging technique combining near-field microscopy and Er3+ photoluminescence spectroscopy to monitor the photothermal heating and steady-state sub-diffraction local temperature of optically excited gold nanostructures.
