"Law and Ethics in Children's Nursing" is an important and
practical guide on the legal and ethical spects of child healthcare
that enables nurses to understand the legal and ethical principles
that underpin everyday nursing practice. It explores the concept of
childhood and children's rights, the extent to which their rights
are upheld in a variety of settings, and the relationship between
law and ethics and how they interact in resolving problems and
dilemmas that commonly arise in practice.
With case studies, learning outcomes and scenarios throughout,
"Law and Ethics in Children's Nursing" places the care and
treatment of children in a legal and ethical framework, and
explores the way in which legal and ethical aspects of children's
nursing differ from those of adults. It explores general principles
such as autonomy and consent, confidentiality, accountability and
negligence. It then goes on to look at specialist areas such as
abortion, sterilisation, research, mental health, organ donation,
child protection and death.
Social Media and Strategic Communications provides comprehensive
and original scholarly research that exhibits the strategic
implementation of social media in both advertising and public
relations. Policies, codes of ethics, and recommendations set by
business organizations for best practices are also examined.
Various research methodologies are employed to analyze the
communication strategies applied by advertisers and public
relations practitioners who have embraced social media as an
integral part of their operations in order to develop and maintain
strong and lasting relationships with customers and the public.
There were around 281 million international migrants throughout the
world in 2020, nearly 4% of the global population. In the decades
to come, thanks to ongoing conflict, violence, political
instability and the effects of climate change, these numbers will
only rise. This book adopts a broad perspective of psychological
science, encompassing both causal and normative behavior, to
explore topics related to immigration including gentrification,
"crimmigration," and trust between immigrants and host-society
authorities. To some, immigrants represent a threat to the
established population's jobs, standard of living, communities,
culture, language, and safety. Others view immigrants as offering
economic benefits to society including new sources of labor and
consumption, and new technical skills and knowledge--not to mention
the economic and personal benefits immigrants and their families
might gain as well. While most immigrants leave their home
countries for job opportunities, millions of others have been
driven away due to conflict, extreme violence, political
instability, and climate change. Authors in this book provide
psychological reports of the immigration experience in North
America, Europe, Australia, New Zealand, and South America, and
address the challenges of integrating immigrants and refugees in
host societies. While critically assessing the immigration crisis
globally, this book offers practical solutions to problems of
contemporary immigration derived from theoretical constructs such
as the contact hypothesis and the common group identity model,
while also highlighting key areas of ongoing and future research.
This compilation aims to analyse students' learning during STEM
activities in the following categories: real-world problem solving
and knowledge about the topic under discussion. This study is part
of a larger project that comprises five school clusters and
involves students from several grades. Next, the authors develop,
validate and apply an attitude and learning environment
questionnaire for gifted female students to evaluate
technology-based science instruction by comparing regular and
technology-based science classrooms. Additionally, Science Teaching
and Learning: Practices, Implementation and Challenges reports the
methods and outcomes of a study that explored the impact of a
six-month school-scientist partnership involving a New Zealand
science research institute and a group of 164 9-10 year olds. The
authors investigate the effects of learning boxes on 5th grade
students' academic achievement and retention in science classes. In
order to realize this goal, a quantitative research method
including an experimental design was used. The concluding study
considers Kuhn's concept of how scientific revolution takes place
based on individual elements or tenets of the nature of science,
and explores the interrelationships within the individual elements
or tenets of the nature of science.

Dexter Hemingway: The Twenty-Two Toed Tabby was an idea I played
with after taking a children's writing class at UCLA. My first
attempt was to just write a story which I sent to a few magazines.
I soon realized that merely hearing a short story wasn't enough and
a children's book would be perfect. It became a rhyming story, but
was also completely non-fiction. It all began when I took a trip to
our family's orange ranch in Woodlake, California. It was a place I
could go to in the country and just enjoy the scenery. I also hoped
to find a silver and black Tabby kitten for my daughter. I went
through all the ads in the paper, but the few I found would not be
ready for adoption for two weeks and I would be gone by then.
However, one woman told me about a place in another small town
where a woman was suppose to have 800 cats. I didn't believe this,
but got her name and talked to her on the phone. She wanted to be
sure if I adopted a kitty that it would be taken care of properly.
After our conversation she gave me directions and I went to a small
town about 40 minutes away. She had a home on the Kings Canyon
River and once I said hello and she let me in I no longer doubted
that she truly did have 800 cats. Cats covered every counter and
piece of furniture in her home. There was an infirmary for sick
kittens and cats, two rooms with kittens ready for a home, an old
house near the river where feral cats lived, and a few hundred more
running all over. She gave me a tour and then I could go into each
room and decide which kitten would go home with me. It was
impossible to choose until one came flying from a cat tree right
onto my lap. Of course, it was a silver and black Tabby. He had
chosen me and as we left she told me he was a good luck cat because
he was a polydactyl. His paws were perfect, but each had an extra
toe. The kitten was quite sick and very nervous. He still takes
medication at five years, but he is a wonderful big male cat. I
hope a child will not only be entertained, but realize being
different can be just as wonderful as not being a normal child.
Perhaps even more special.
Victory snatched from imminent defeat
This book by the American, Admiral Sims will be a revelation to
many. The British public had no idea that by the time America
entered the First World War on 6th April, 1917 the Allied cause was
on the brink of falling to the might of Imperial Germany. No plan
had been conceived to ensure that vital materials would reach
Britain by sea without them falling prey to the omnipresent U-Boat
menace. Thousands of tons of essential war supplies were going to
the bottom of the Atlantic Ocean each week and serious Allied
analysts believed that Britain would last less than four months
before surrender was inevitable. Given what we now know of the
great German land offensives of the final phase of the war, the
consequences for the Allies, without a solution to the issue of
maritime supply, could have been catastrophic. The solution came in
the form of the creation of the convoy system and its effectiveness
was due in no small part to the addition of the U. S. N. destroyer
fleet to support the activities of the Royal Navy. This book
describes how the German U-Boat threat was finally overcome and how
this impacted on the Allied victory. Sims also gives much
operational detail including the activities of the deadly decoy's,
the 'Q' ships, and the operations of the 'King Cobras' of the
undersea war-the anti-submarine submarines.' This is the view and
account of a senior officer in a position to experience and
describe for posterity the strategic and tactical issues of the
anti U-Boat campaign and it describes in detail the many methods
and types of craft employed together with anecdotes, reports and
eyewitness accounts of the action on and under the waves.
Recommended.
Leonaur editions are newly typeset and are not facsimiles; each
title is available in softcover and hardback with dustjacket; our
hardbacks are cloth bound and feature gold foil lettering on their
spines and fabric head and tail bands.

When Cornelius Vanderbilt died in 1877, America's first great
industrial combination had become an established fact. In that year
the Standard Oil Company of Ohio controlled at least ninety per
cent of the business of refining and marketing petroleum. A new
portent had appeared in our economic life, a phenomenon that was
destined to affect not only the social and business existence of
the every-day American but even his political and legal
institutions.
1921. One of the great reformers in naval gunfire and employment of
destroyer ships; Commander of U.S. Naval Forces in European waters
during World War I, Sims adopted the use of naval convoys and
promoted the construction of destroyers to counter Germany's use of
unrestricted submarine warfare. He served as President of the Naval
War College in 1917 and from 1919 to 1922. Victory at Sea, his book
on Anglo-American naval cooperation in the war at sea during World
War I, won the Pulitzer Prize in history in 1920. Contents: When
Germany was Winning the War; The Return of the Mayflower; The
Adoption of the Convoy; American Destroyers in Action; Decoying
Submarines to Destruction; American College Boys and Subchasers;
The London Flagship; Submarine Against Submarine; The American Mine
Barrage in the North Sea; German Submarines Visit the American
Coast; Fighting Submarines from the Air; The Navy Fighting on the
Land; and Transporting Two Million American Soldiers to France.
