This timely book is an investigation of the highly debated
questions: do coroners' recommendations save lives and how often
are they implemented? It is the first socio-legal investigation of
coroners' recommendations from several countries. Based on an
extensive study, it analyses Coroner's Court findings and
litigation from Canada, England, Ireland, Australia and Scotland as
well as over 2000 New Zealand coroners' recommendations and
includes more than 100 interviews and over 40 surveys. The book
probes coroners', organisations' and families' experiences of the
Coroner's Court in detail and includes substantial quotations from,
and discussion of, their experiences. The data analyzed
demonstrates that while coronial recommendations can be useful
tools for intervention and policy development, coroners'
contribution to morbidity and mortality prevention at the
population level requires further development. In addition to
coroners, lawyers, health practitioners, families, organisations
and policy makers, researchers from Law, Medicine and the Social
Sciences will find this pioneering volume an important and
illuminating resource. Contents: 1. Learning From Death 2. Coronial
Jurisdictions 3. Coroners' Recommendations 4. Do Coroners'
Recommendations ''Disappear Into A Black Hole?'' 5. The Promise Of
Saved Lives: Coroners' Preventive Function 6. Mandatory Responses
To Coroners' Recommendations 7. Dying For Change Index
In Humanitarian Law in Action within Africa, Jennifer Moore studies
the role and application of humanitarian law by focusing on African
countries that are emerging from civil wars. Moore offers an
overview of international law, including its essential vocabulary,
and describes four particular subfields of international law:
international humanitarian law, international human rights law,
international criminal law, and international refugee law. After
setting forth this overview, Moore considers practical mechanisms
to implement international humanitarian law, focusing specifically
on the experiences of Uganda, Sierra Leone, and Burundi. Through
the case studies of these countries, Moore describes transitional
justice's fundamental components: criminal, social, and historical.
Although the African continent has gone through some of the world's
greatest humanitarian emergencies, issues such as violence against
women, child soldiers, and genocide are not unique to Africa, and
as such, the study of humanitarian law by examining Africa's
experience is important to conflict resolution and reconstruction
throughout the world.

This book takes a wide-ranging and non-dogmatic view of SDG12,
tackling various approaches as to how production and consumption
can provide for human well-being while minimizing destructive
effects on the biophysical environment. With chapters focusing on
circular economies, product accounting systems, and sustainable
procurement, this volume presents technical information in an
accessible way and provides a much-needed overview of activity and
approaches to achieving the development goal. The authors provide a
thorough understanding of the history and effectiveness of SDG 12
by juxtaposing competing theories of sustainable production and
consumption, from critics who advocate a "degrowth" agenda to
explicitly neo- liberal approaches. They also examine the
underlying contradictions in these theories and the degree to which
these competing approaches can complement one another.

Young children become confused and hurt when their parents
constantly argue, then decide to divorce. This sensitively written
book assures boys and girls that children are in no way responsible
for their parents' inability to get along together. It lets kids
know that although one parent chooses to move away from the home,
both parents continue to love their little boy or girl. Both Mom
and Dad will continue to spend happy times with them. Even very
young children have concerns and anxieties, and Let's Talk About
It! books are written and illustrated especially for them. Parents
are advised to read these books aloud while their preschooler
listens and looks at illustrations of the boys and girls in each
story. Many children in early grades will be able to read the
stories for themselves. Let's Talk About It! books encourage
children to explore their feelings, and then to speak openly about
things that trouble them.

While there has been rapid growth in the creation and use of 3D
data over the last decade, the ongoing development and evolving
usage of these data have left many unresolved questions about their
stability, durability, and long-term accessibility. Â 3D Data
Creation to Curation: Community Standards for 3D Data Preservation
collects the efforts of the Community Standards for 3D Data
Preservation (CS3DP) initiative—a large practicing community of
librarians, researchers, engineers, and designers—to move toward
establishment of shared guidelines, practices, and standards. Using
a collaborative approach for standards development that promotes
individual investment and broad adoption, this group has produced a
work that captures the shared preservation needs of the whole
community. Â Chapters cover best practices for 3D data
preservation, management, metadata, legal issues, and access.
Beginning with surveys of current practices, the authors provide
recommendations for implementing standards and identify areas in
which further development is required. A glossary of key terms and
acronyms is included for easy reference. Â 3D Data Creation
to Curation is intended for a broad audience from 3D data novices
to seasoned practitioners, as well as those who may not be involved
in the creation of the data but are tasked with curating,
migrating, and sustaining access to these data long-term.
According to most histories of French archives and libraries, the
nineteenth century was a period of slow but steady recovery from
the trauma of the revolutionary era. In contrast, Moore argues that
the organization of archives and libraries in nineteenth-century
France was neither steady nor progressive. By following the
development of the Ecole des Chartes, the state school for
archivists and librarians, Moore shows that conceptions of "order"
changed dramatically from one decade to the next. More important,
she argues that these changing notions of "order" were directly
connected to contemporary shifts in state politics. Since each new
political regime had its own conceptions of both national history
and public knowledge, each one worked to "restore order" in a
different way.
Every child has secrets, and many secrets are fun to keep, for
instance, a surprise birthday gift for Mom, or a secret handshake
with a young friend. But sometimes, children have secrets that make
them feel bad, and these secrets are best shared with their
parents, or with some trusted older person. A child who is bullied
might be inclined to keep it secret, but it's always best to tell
parents about it. Or children who are touched intimately and
improperly by an older person will soon feel better if they reveal
the secret to parents. This book helps kids distinguish between
good and bad secrets. Even very young children have concerns and
anxieties, and Let's Talk About It! books are written and
illustrated especially for them. Parents are advised to read these
books aloud while their preschooler listens and looks at
illustrations of the boys and girls in each story. Many children in
early grades will be able to read the stories for themselves. Let's
Talk About It! books encourage children to explore their feelings,
and then to speak openly about things that trouble them.
