How do baby mammals grow? Food! And with a lot of help from their
mothers. This book shares the life cycle story of eight different
mammal babies from habitats across the globe. Readers learn
essential facts about each animal's birth, nursing, weaning,
hunting or foraging skills, and other techniques that they must
learn from their mother (and community) before they can be "all
grown up."As they page through the expansive panoramic
illustrations, readers explore the vast diversity of the mammal
world and learn about those things that unite all mammals. The
written text foregrounds the importance of mother's milk in infancy
and learning to find food as each animal matures; the lifelike
visual text provides more information about each species, including
their habitat, family group, and relative size. The animals in the
book are drawn from habitats across the globe and are arranged from
shortest to longest childhoods.An extensive free Teacher's Guide
provides further information and hands-on activities to expand
opportunities for learning. This book is designed for students ages
7-10 (grades 2-5). Content aligns with the NGSS (detailed
articulation is outlined in the Teacher's Guide).

explores some of the key concepts, methodologies, and dilemmas of
researching Asia-Pacific affairs. The book deals with key questions
about the Asia Pacific: Why should we study policy from the ground

Why is regionalism important and how do global powers play a role?
Should Asia-Pacific researchers embrace the design-based revolution
in the social sciences? Muddy Boots and Smart Suits is for

The idea for this volume grew out of a previous collaboration
between Jeffrey McCausland and Douglas Stuart. Arguing that the
bilateral relationship between the United States and the United
Kingdom was both underappreciated and understudied, they organized
a series of conferences in 2005 which brought together a group of
well-known American and British academics, journalists, and
policymakers to discuss political, military, and economic aspects
of the "special relationship." The conference proceedings,
published by the Strategic Studies Institute of the U.S. Army War
College under the title U.S.-UK Relations at the Start of the 21st
Century, proved to be extremely popular- requiring a second
printing and generating followon public discussions on both sides
of the Atlantic.1 Conversation during these public events tended to
focus on one basic question and a couple of ancillary questions:
Was the U.S.-UK relationship unique? If so, in what respects? And
why?
In 2003 Australia conceived, financed and led a Pacific-wide
intervention into Solomon Islands to prevent the collapse of that
state. The Regional Assistance Mission to Solomon Islands (RAMSI)
was to remain there for fourteen years, costing over $2 billion and
involving thousands of soldiers, police and public servants from
Australia and across the Pacific. It was remarkably successful in
an age of disastrous interventions. And yet, by the time it was
withdrawn, RAMSI had largely vanished from the Australian public's
mind.Helpem Fren is the first comprehensive history of Australia
and the RAMSI intervention. Drawing on still-classified official
documents and over thirty interviews, it records the preconditions,
motivations and dynamics of RAMSI between 2003 and 2017. Providing
an intimate look at the challenges of interventions and development
assistance generally, Helpem Fren is also a portrait of the
personalities involved and the complex interactions between two
systems that couldn't be more different in culture, wealth, size
and capacity.As Australia confronts the most challenging
environment in the Pacific for seventy years, Helpem Fren offers
readers a deeper understanding of the recent history of Australia's
involvement with Solomon Islands and the Pacific.
