shift in the lens of the teachers and management within early
childhood services to incorporate new ways of working with,
alongside, and in collaboration with family, whanau (a Maori term
referring to an extended family), and the wider community.
The Soviet Union and India (1989) examines the costs and benefits
to the Soviet Union of its substantial economic and military
involvement with India, and assesses how India fits into Soviet
policies towards southwest Asia and China. It analyses the effects
on Soviet-Indian relations of the invasion of Afghanistan and of
the military buildup in Pakistan; how changing domestic and global
priorities in Moscow and New Delhi will affect the relationship;
and what the role of the West should be.
The pacifist principle, so cogently expressed in the Declaration to
Charles II, has led succeeding generations of Quakers to consider
the application of this principle to international affairs. William
Penn's 'Essay towards the Present and Future Peace of Europe',
which proposes international machinery for keeping the peace, is
the first of a series of Quaker contributions to a body of thought
which has been given some practical expression during the twentieth
century. Originally published in 1962, the present lecture is not
occasioned by a significant anniversary of William Penn's essay,
published in 1693, but by the urgent relevance of its ideas to the
current international impasse. The lecture is based on the
assumption that the tradition of Quaker political thinking which
Penn initiated remains a living and vital one, to whose cultivation
and renewal Friends can rightly devote a measure of their time,
their energy and their concern. This requires that Friends think
deeply about the nature of the present struggle for world power and
the measures that can be taken to abate it; about the direction
which existing international institutions should take in order to
promote the present and the future peace of the world; and about
the role of a religious society both within and without the realm
of politics. Of necessity and intention, the lecture asks more
questions than it can answer.
Consisting of papers that have appeared recently in International
Geology Review, Middle American Terranes, Potential Correlatives,
and Orogenic Processes focuses on Middle American terranes in which
tectonic processes, including flat-slab subduction, for orogenic
development are examined at various times since the late
Mesoproterozoic: at 1 Ga, through the Paleozoic, and into the
Cenozoic. Many papers relate the evolution of the Middle American
terranes over the past billion years to global scale events, and a
second theme running through the book relates to the
supercontinents, Rodinia and Pangea, the geometry of their
amalgamation and breakup, and the processes responsible. Highlights
include: * An update on the geographic record, tectonic setting,
and provenance of these terranes * Documentation of allocthonous
nature and position peripheral to Amazonia of the ~1 Ga basement of
southern Mexico * Data demonstrating that the basement rocks were
involved in several Phanerozoic tectonic events * An examination of
new evidence of a Late Paleozoic event associated with the
amalgamation of Pangea overprinting the ~1 Ga basement and the
Paleozoic units lying chiefly to the west and south of it * An
exploration of the following potential correlatives: (1) events in
Europe on the northern margin of Gondwana; (2) the Late
Silurian-Devonian Acadian orogeny in the Appalachian, which is
inferred to have resulted from flat-slab subduction related to
overriding a plume; and (3) Mesozoic-Cenozoic events along the
western margin of Laurentia * A discussion of possible mechanisms
for the initiation of orogeny, flat-slab subduction in the Laramide
orogeny, and hypotheses relating to the amalgamation and breakup of
supercontine

The threat of unstoppable plagues, such as AIDS and Ebola, is always with us. In Europe, the most devastating plagues were those from the Black Death pandemic in the 1300s to the Great Plague of London in 1665. For the past 100 years it has been accepted that Yersinia pestis, the infective agent of bubonic plague, was responsible for these epidemics. This book combines modern concepts of epidemiology and molecular biology with computer-modeling. Applying these concepts to the analysis of historical epidemics, the authors show that they were not, in fact, outbreaks of bubonic plague. Biology of Plagues offers a completely new interdisciplinary interpretation of the plagues of Europe, and establishes them within a geographical, historical, and demographic framework. This fascinating detective work will be of interest to readers in the social and biological sciences, and lessons learned will underline the implications of historical plagues for modern-day epidemiology.

It's been 45 years since the end of the Zurvan reign. The Earth is
a peaceful planet where solar panels cover the deserts and green
pastures feed communities who have phased out currency in place of
a local trade system. Michael and Melody are benevolent Sararan
leaders who have assembled a democratically elected council in
Geneva to regulate the less populated world, but a darkness grows
in the west. Letters from Native American tribes find their way to
the council describing a disturbing resonance near Shaktis sunken
palace. With the Zurvan Order having signed a treaty of alliance
years before, the royal Immortal couple is puzzled as to the origin
of this mysterious demonic signal. Meanwhile, Melody's ambassador
finds who she believes to be the reincarnation of Pavonis: a young
adventurous girl from the Balkans named Devonia. All Melody wants
is a pupil to teach, but Michael wants a son, and becomes
increasingly weary from both his wife's reluctance to bear children
and his deteriorating mental state from engaging in shadow wars in
Africa. Between Michael's perception of betrayal he feels from
Melody, and his complex emotions regarding his forced
indoctrination into the Zurvan Order almost a half century earlier,
Michael seeks meaning at his mother's grave where a former enemy
befriends him there; a woman who knew him at his darkest hour, her
web of seduction spun and waiting...
