Computer Aided Software Engineering (CASE) tools typically support
individual users in the automation of a set of tasks within a
software development process. Such tools have helped organizations
in their efforts to develop better software within budget and time
constraints. However, many organizations are failing to take full
advantage of CASE technology as they struggle to make coordinated
use of collections of tools, often obtained at different times from
different vendors. This book provides an in-depth analysis of the
CASE tool integration problem, and describes practical approaches
that can be used with current CASE technology to help your
organization take greater advantage of integrated CASE.
Most of today's familiar fairy tales come from the stories of
Charles Perrault, the Brothers Grimm, and Hans Christian Andersen,
but this innovative study encourages us to explore the marvelous
tales of authors from the early modern period Giovanni Straparola,
Giambattista Basile, Madame Marie-Catherine D'Aulnoy, and others
whose works enrich and expand the canon. As author Jo Eldridge
Carney shows, the queen is omnipresent in these stories, as much a
hallmark of the genre as other familiar characteristics such as the
number three, magical objects, and happy endings. That queens
occupy such space in early modern tales is not surprising given the
profound influence of so many powerful queens in the political
landscapes of early modern England and Europe. Carney makes a
powerful argument for the historical relevance of fairy tales and,
by exploring the dynamic intersection between fictional and actual
queens, shows how history and folk literature mutually enrich our
understanding of the period.
"High and Mighty Queens" of Early Modern England is a truly interdisciplinary anthology of essays including articles on such actual queen regnants as Mary I and Elizabeth I, and queen consorts such as Anne Boleyn, Anna of Denmark, and Henrietta Maria. The collection also deals with a number of literary representations of earlier historical queens such as Cleopatra, and semi-historical ones such as Gertrude, Tamora, and Lady Macbeth, and such fictional ones as Hermione and the queen of Cymbeline, all of them Shakespeare characters. This fascinating look at Renaissance queens also examines myth and folklore, Romantic or Victorian representations, and the depictions of queens like Catherine de Medici of France in twentieth century film.

The past several decades have witnessed a growing recognition that
environmental concerns are essentially property rights issues.
Despite agreement that an absence of well-defined and consistently
enforced property rights results in the exploitation of air, water,
and other natural resources, there is still widespread disagreement
about many aspects of America's property rights paradigm. The
prominent contributors to Who Owns the Environment? explore
numerous theoretical and empirical possibilities for remedying
these problems. An important book for environmental economists and
those interested in environmental policy.

Mike Carney was born on the Great Blasket Island in 1920 in that
unique, isolated Irish-speaking community. Mike left in 1937 to
seek a better future in Dublin and eventually settled in
Springfield, Massachusetts, with other former islanders. The death
on the island of his younger brother set off a chain of events that
led to its evacuation, in which Mike played a pivotal role. This is
the story of his life and his efforts to promote Irish culture in
America, to preserve the memory of The Great Blasket, to respect
roots left behind and to set down roots in a new land. Written as
Mike approached the age of 93, this memoir is probably the last of
a long line of books written by Blasket Islanders. * Similar to: An
Irish Navvy - the Diary of an Exile and The Hard Road to Klondike
St. Alphonsus writes: "a single bad book will be sufficient to
cause the destruction of a monastery." Pope Pius XII wrote in 1947
at the beatification of Blessed Maria Goretti: "There rises to Our
lips the cry of the Saviour: 'Woe to the world because of scandals
' (Matthew 18:7). Woe to those who consciously and deliberately
spread corruption-in novels, newspapers, magazines, theaters,
films, in a world of immodesty " We at St. Pius X Press are calling
for a crusade of good books. We want to restore 1,000 old Catholic
books to the market. We ask for your assistance and prayers. This
book is a photographic reprint of the original. The original has
been inspected and many imperfections in the existing copy have
been corrected. At Saint Pius X Press our goal is to remain
faithful to the original in both photographic reproductions and in
textual reproductions that are reprinted. Photographic
reproductions are given a page by page inspection, whereas textual
reproductions are proofread to correct any errors in reproduction.
This is a gallery post. This is an exhibit seldom seen. It is not
an attempt to gain monetary profit. In fact, it is the hope of the
author, that upon completion, readers bestow this work to anyone
thought of as a worthy beneficiary. Violin Murder is merely a
playbill meant to accompany any role of the screenplay that life
may have the reader experience. Please take thankfully from this
poetic pamphlet and give it generously to friends, family, and
strangers alike.
