The very first book devoted to antique silver lemon strainers, this
is the fruit of a decade's research by a biology teacher turned
silver expert who gives equal weight to analysis and aesthetics.
Lemon strainers, normally consigned to the 'miscellany' pages of
antique silver guides, are varied, beautiful and collectable and
survive in surprising numbers considering their 150 years of use in
punch making ended 200 years ago: the author's database contains
900 examples from England, Ireland, Scotland and America. After an
extensive introduction, lemon strainers are described in 27
categories and lavishly illustrated with 268 figures.
This accessible introduction to the structure of English, general
theories in linguistics, and important issues in sociolinguistics,
is the first text written specifically for English and Education
majors. This engaging introductory language/linguistics textbook
provides more extensive coverage of issues of particular interest
to English majors and future English instructors. It invites all
students to connect academic linguistics to the everyday use of the
English language around them. The book's approach taps students'
natural curiosity about the English language. Through exercises and
discussion questions about ongoing changes in English, How English
Works asks students to become active participants in the
construction of linguistic knowledge.
For courses in Pharmacology. PHARMACOLOGY: CONNECTIONS TO NURSING
PRACTICE, 2/e tightly links pharmacology to nursing practice and
patient care, recognizing that for nurses, pharmacology is not an
abstract academic discipline but rather a critical tool to prevent
disease and promote healing and wellness. It offers unsurpassed
features designed to illuminate connections between pharmacology
and practice, from patient scenarios and practice applications to
coverage of lifespan considerations, patient education, alternative
therapies, and gender/cultural influences. Nine additional units
illuminate the actions of individual drugs on each body system and
disease. Learning is simplified through the use of prototype drugs,
as well as outstanding full-color illustrations, complemented by 45
web-based animations. This edition covers 30+ new drugs, and offers
updated information about dosages, indications, and adverse effects
throughout, including Black Box Warnings.
For all courses on pharmacology in nursing programs. This
up-to-date text helps nursing students master pharmacology by
tightly linking it to therapeutic goals and patient wellness.
Organized by body systems (units) and diseases (chapters),
PHARMACOLOGY FOR NURSES: A PATHOPHYSIOLOGIC APPROACH, 4/e provides
complete information on the drug classifications used to treat each
disease class. Students can easily locate all relevant anatomy,
physiology, pathology, and pharmacology in the same chapter where
each drug is discussed. Exclusive Nursing Process Focus features
clearly and concisely relates pharmacotherapy to patient
assessment, nursing diagnoses, planning patient outcomes,
implementing patient-centered care, and evaluating the outcomes.
This new Fourth Edition links pharmacology to patient care through
exceptionally accurate, attractive graphics, rich media resources,
extensive self-assessment tools, and features covering
complementary medicine; diverse patient/lifestyle considerations;
and evidence-based practice. It has been thoroughly updated to
reflect current pharmacologic drugs, drug classes, processes,
mechanisms, and warnings; and the newest QSEN competencies and
NCLEX question formats.
The relationships among data, evidence, and methodology in English
historical linguistics are perennially vexed. This volume - which
ranges chronologically from Old to Present-Day English and from
manuscripts to corpora - challenges a wide variety of assumptions
and practices and illustrates how diverse methods and approaches
construct evidence for historical linguistic arguments from an
increasingly large and diverse body of linguistic data.
"Napoleon and Russia" tells, for the first time, the full story of
Napoleon and his crucial relationship with Russia, from the 1790s
and Bonaparte's rise to power, through the period of Austerlitz,
Tilsit and the Russian invasion, to the Emperor's fall and its
aftermath. In doing so, it not only puts the critical events of
1812 in their proper context as part of an even greater tale - of
peace as well as war, friendship as well as enmity - but also
provides fresh insight into the Napoleonic period as a whole,
questioning many of the assumptions about the era prevalent in the
English-speaking world. The tale boasts a cast of fascinating
characters to rival any novel: the rulers, Napoleon himself,
Catherine the Great, 'Mad' Tsar Paul and the enigmatic Alexander I;
generals such as Ney, Murat, Davout, Suvorov, Kutuzov and Barclay
de Tolly; statesmen like Talleyrand, Caulaincourt, Czartoryski and
Rumiantsev; and, of course, the ordinary soldiers who fought some
of the most intriguing, bloody and important campaigns in history.
This is an enthralling story of fundamental importance in the
history of Europe and, indeed, the world.
This edited book explores the impact of globalisation on the
relationship between religion and politics, religion and nation,
religion and nationalism, and the impact that transnationalism has
on religious groups. In a post-Westphalian and transnational world,
with increased international communication and transportation, a
plethora of new religious recompositions religions now take part in
a network society that cuts across borders. This collection,
through its analysis of historical and contemporary case studies,
explores the growth of both national and transnational religious
movements and their dealings with the various versions of modernity
that they encounter. It considers trends of religious
revitalisation and secularisation, and processes of nationalism and
transnationalism through the prism of the theory of multiple
modernities, acknowledging both its pluralist world view but also
the argument that its definition of modernity is often so inclusive
as to lose coherence. Providing a cutting edge take on 21st century
religion and globalization, this volume is a key read for all
scholars of religion, secularisation and transnationalism.
Topics covered include: The fundamentals of business process
modeling, including workflow patterns, an in-depth treatment of
process flexibility, including approaches to dealing with
on-the-fly changes, unexpected exceptions, and constraint-based
processes, Technological aspects of a modern BPM environment,
including its architecture, process design environment, process
engine, resource handler and other support services, a comparative
insight into current approaches to business process modeling and
execution such as BPMN, EPCs, BPEL, jBPM, OpenWFE, and Enhydra
Shark, process mining, verification, integration and configuration;
and case studies in health care and screen business.
This book provides a comprehensive treatment of the field of
Business Process Management (BPM) with a focus on Business Process
Automation. It achieves this by covering a wide range of topics,
both introductory and advanced, illustrated through and grounded in
the YAWL (Yet Another Workflow Language) language and corresponding
open-source support environment. In doing so it provides the reader
with a deep, timeless, and vendor-independent understanding of the
essential ingredients of business process automation.
The BPM field is in a continual state of flux and is subject to
both the ongoing proposal of new standards and the introduction of
new tools and technology. Its fundamentals however are relatively
stable and this book aims to equip the reader with both a thorough
understanding of them and the ability to apply them to better
understand, assess and utilize new developments in the BPM
field.
As a consequence of its topic-based format and the inclusion of
a broad range of exercises, the book is eminently suitable for use
in tertiary education, both at the undergraduate and the
postgraduate level, for students of computer science and
information systems. BPM researchers and practitioners will also
find it a valuable resource. The book serves as a unique reference
to a varied and comprehensive collection of topics that are
relevant to the business process life-cycle.

This volume assembles the papers, presentations, and speeches from
the 50th Anniversary Meeting of the International Association of
University Presidents (IAUP) held in Oxfordshire in 2015. This book
is a companion volume to the proceedings of the 1965 inaugural
meeting of IAUP, also published by Fairleigh Dickinson University
Press. The highlight of the 50th Anniversary Meeting was an
academic conference at Oxford University on the theme of "Higher
Education in 2065." Participants were called upon to look ahead to
the next fifty years of global higher education, drawing from their
academic fields, as well as their leadership experience within and
beyond higher education. The resulting collection includes
discussions of current trends that will impact the future of
universities, as well as discussions of specific challenges likely
to face higher education institutions, both generally and in
particular regions. Some contributors outline steps that higher
education institutions and/or policymakers should adopt today to
prepare for those challenges, while others imagine the university
of the future. Edited by IAUP secretary-general emeritus Jason
Scorza, this book is dedicated to the memory of J. Michael Adams,
who served both as president of Fairleigh Dickinson University and
president of IAUP, and includes some of his final writings on the
topic of the future of global higher education. Founded in 1965,
IAUP is the world's largest association of university chief
executives from higher education institutions. Membership is
limited to individuals who serve or have served as presidents,
rectors, or vice-chancellors at accredited colleges or
universities.
Over the past several decades, the demographic populations of many
countries such as Canada as well as the United States have greatly
transformed. Most striking is the influx of recent immigrant
families into North America. As children lead the way for a "new"
North America, this group of children and youth is not a singular
homogenous group but rather, a mosaic and diverse ethnic, racial,
and cultural group. Thus, our current understanding of "normative
development" (covering social, psychological, cognitive, language,
academic, and behavioral development), which has been generally
based on middle-class Euro-American children, may not necessarily
be "optimal" development for all children. Researchers are widely
recognizing that the theoretical frameworks and models of child
development lack the sociocultural and ethnic sensitivities to the
ways in which developmental processes operate in an ecological
context. As researchers progress and develop promising forms of
methodological innovation to further our understanding of immigrant
children, little effort has been placed to collectively organize a
group of scholarly work in a coherent manner. Some researchers who
examine ethnic minority children tended to have ethnocentric
notions of normative development. Thus, some ethnic minority groups
are understood within a "deficit model" with a limited scope of
topics of interest. Moreover, few researchers have specifically
investigated the acculturation process for children and the
implications for cultural socialization of children by ethnic
group. This book represents a group of leading scholars'
cutting-edge research which will not only move our understanding
forward but also to open up new possibilities for research,
providing innovative methodologies in examining this complex and
dynamic group. Immigrant Children: Change, Adaptation, and Cultural
Transformation will also take the research lead in guiding our
current knowledge of how development is influenced by a variety of
sociocultural factors, placing future research in a better position
to probe inherent principles of child development. In sum, this
book will provide readers with a richer and more comprehensive
approach of how researchers, social service providers, and social
policymakers can examine children and immigration.

When we talk about family values, like whether children need two
parents, we are also talking about gender values, because a "yes"
answer to this question might imply that only women with husbands
should have children. In the same way, when we talk about gender
issues, such as whether men should be paid higher wages than women,
we are also talking about family issues, because a "yes" answer
suggests that husbands should be the family breadwinner. In this
updated second edition of Gender and Families, Coltrane and Adams
continue to demystify the complexities and connections between
gender and family in contemporary culture, with discussions of
race, ethnicity, and social class.
