Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not
used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad
quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are
images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to
keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the
original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain
imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made
available for future generations to enjoy.
As authors, we are convinced that the time has finally arrived in
academe for an extensive, experience?based, firsthand, seamless
examination of what we are calling crossover pedagogy. There is no
book?length examination of facultystudent affairs administrators
collaboration in the academic realm anywhere. Nobody has yet to
produce a case?based, hands?on, book?length treatment of how (and
why) faculty and student affairs administrators can co?teach,
co?author, and co?consult with one another as co?equal educators
and campus leaders-with each group complementing the other in terms
of their special skills, knowledge, background, and experiences.
Without coming to practical terms with the case for collaboration
that the above authors make, the why rationale developed in these
publications on the topic of faculty?administrator collaboration
(sometimes referred to as "blended" efforts) around the
teaching?learning venture is lost in the logistics of technical
policy issues and challenges.
Traditionally, psychoanalytic treatment has been a lengthy
endeavour, requiring a long-term commitment from patient and
analyst, as well as vast financial resources. More recently,
short-term approaches to psychoanalytic treatment have
proliferated. One of the most well-known and thoroughly studied is
the groundbreaking method of Intensive Short-term Dynamic
Psychotherapy, developed by Dr. Habib Davanloo. Having trained
directly with Dr. Davenloo, the author has written a clear, concise
outline of the method that has come to be regarded as a classic in
the field. The book is organised in a systematic fashion, analogous
to the process of therapy itself, from initial contact through to
termination and follow-up. Detailed clinical examples are presented
throughout the text to illustrate how theory is translated into
techniques of unparalleled power and effectiveness.
Essays, based on five years of survey research in Iowa and case
study examples from across the United States, examine the
implications of telecommunications technologies for rural community
development. Supported by data from five years of survey and case
study research, telecommunications adoption and use is explored in
nine sectors of the rural community to determine the influence
these organizations and institutions have on telecommunications
development within the broader rural community. These sectors
include local government, economic development, business,
newspapers, library services, health care, university extension to
communities, and farming. Also considered are the factors that
promote and retard telecommunications development, particularly the
impact of telecommunications policy, the availability of
state-of-the-art infrastructure and service, and the involvement of
telephone companies in local community development. Using a
community development framework, this work discusses the physical,
financial, human and social capitals necessary for holistic
community development and the significance of critical mass, the
roles of internal and external networks, as well as vertical and
horizontal linkages, and the importance of visionary leadership and
the championing of telecommunications.
Social Science and telecommunications scholars will appreciate
the interdisciplinary approach these case studies represent. In
addition, this research is intended to assist local leaders,
community service providers, businesses, community officials, and
state policy makers in capturing the potential benefits of
innovative telecommunications technologies for local economic
development, while avoiding potential problems and pitfalls. Essays
are organized in three sections. The first presents theory, policy,
and issues within a community development framework. The second
discusses perspectives and actions of community sectors in their
adoption and use of telecommunications. The third examines what
occurs within an organization as it implements a new
telecommunications system. Charts and graphs enhance the text and a
glossary of terms is provided.
This witty and charming collection of ten short fantasies includes
a story, set in the Enchanted Forest, about Queen Cimorene's Frying
Pan of Doom; a zany yarn about a magical blue chipmunk with a
passion for chestnuts; and an eerie tale of a caliph who turns his
vizier's daughter into a wolf.
Learn how to smoke cannabis in a way that reduces the health risks
of smoking. As an herbal remedy, cannabis can lift your mood and
can treat a long list of ailments. But the way that most of us take
a hit of pot needlessly takes a hit on our health. It is high time
for health-conscious cannabis consumers to learn a new way of
smoking that reduces its risks. In Mindful Marijuana Smoking, Mark
Mathew Braunstein offers sound advice on every phase of the
cannabis smoking experience, presenting health tips based on solid
science. Whether with rolling papers, hand pipes, waterpipes, or
herbal vaporizers, each method of cannabinoid delivery has both
risks and rewards. Chapters are devoted to each method so that you
can learn how to maximize their benefits and reduce their hazards,
as well as how to protect your health even before you take a puff.
And once you've inhaled the smoke, this book assures you that you
don't need to hold your breath to reap all the benefits of
cannabis. Additionally, this book teaches readers how to assure an
herb's purity, as both black market and corporate cannabis keep
dirty secrets about how they were grown, and readers will learn
about the potential impurities in rolling papers and vaping oils.
The stronger the dose, the less you need to toke, so you'll find
instructions on how to properly store cannabis to retain its
potency. Finally, after you've smoked, you'll find guidance on why
and how to relieve your parched mouth and to replenish nutrients
that are depleted by smoking. Potheads and patients, tenderfoot
tokers and seasoned stoners, dabbling dilettantes and cannabis
connoisseurs, all need to read this book. By following its many
health tips, when you light up, you can lighten up.
The Encyclopedia of Archival Writers, 1515-2015, is a reference
work that includes the profiles of authors of literature about
records and archives in the Western world who have shaped the
records and archives field over a span of 500 years. The 144
archival writers from 13 countries who are included in this volume
were selected by an international advisory board on the basis of
their impact on the records and archives profession and discipline,
the presence of their publications in educational programs' reading
lists, and the frequency of reference to their work. Among the
writers included in this volume are Albertino Barisone of Padua
(1587-1667), Sir Hilary Jenkinson of England (1882-1961), Adolf
Brenneke of Germany (1875-1946), Theodore R. Schellenberg of the
United States (1903-1970), Robert-Henri Bautier of France
(1922-2010), Terry Cook of Canada (1947-2014), Vicenta Cortes
Alonso of Spain (1925-), Eric Ketelaar of the Netherlands (1944-),
Aurelio Tanodi of Argentina (1914-2011), Scott Maclean of Australia
(1919-2003), and Verne Harris of South Africa (1958 - ). Arranged
in alphabetical order, each entry includes a biography,
intellectual contributions, and a brief essential bibliography. A
total of 113 educators, professionals and students in the records
and archives field-55 of whom are also profiled in this
Encyclopedia--contributed to this volume. There is no other book in
any language that focuses on the life and work of authors of
records and archives literature. In fact, there is not easily
available information on such writers. Thus, most entries involved
quite a bit of research on dead writers and interviews with the
living ones. Several living writers supported this work by
accepting to author their own entry
The Annual Beltsville Symposium provides a forum for interaction
among scientists involved in research that has vital impact on
agriculture and on the agricultural sciences. The 10th Symposium in
the series, Biotechnology for Solving Agricultural Problems,
focuses on the use of a revolutionary new set of tools,
biotechnology, and attempts to define the set in terms of its
applications in agriculture. Biotechnology has already contributed
to the genetic improvement of agricultural products. Procedures
that were impossible to test or to implement in the past because of
technological limitations are now routinely used by many
scientists. Four areas that have benefitted from advances in
biotechnology are covered in the symposium proceedings. These areas
include genetic manipulation, nutrition, health and disease, and
natural resource management. The 31 invited speakers have
identified programs of basic and applied research on plants,
animals, and insects that fall within these broad areas. Their
research strategies included such techniques as germline
modification, gene mapping, monoclonal antibody production, and
gene transposition. These strategies have tapped new well springs
of information and technologies ranging from the regulation of gene
expression (and with it, the regulation of development, growth,
disease resistance, and nutrient metabolism) to degradation of
pesticides and toxic wastes. The applications of biotechnology to
agricultural research have opened virgin vistas with enormous
potential. The new biotechnological techniques and those that will
evolve with their use will contribute markedly to the capacity of
the agricultural sciences to advance the well-being of the human
race.
Case studies explore how women's rights shape state responses to
sex trafficking and show how politically empowering women can help
prevent and combat human trafficking Human trafficking for the sex
trade is a form of modern-day slavery that ensnares thousands of
victims each year, disproportionately affecting women and girls.
While the international community has developed an impressive
edifice of human rights law, these laws are not equally recognized
or enforced by all countries. Sex Trafficking and Human Rights
demonstrates that state responsiveness to human trafficking is
shaped by the political, social, cultural, and economic rights
afforded to women in that state. While combatting human trafficking
is a multiscalar problem with a host of conflating variables, this
book shows that a common theme in the effectiveness of state
response is the degree to which women and girls are perceived as,
and actually are, full citizens. By analyzing human trafficking
cases in India, Thailand, Russia, Nigeria, and Brazil, they shed
light on the factors that make some women and girls more
susceptible to traffickers than others. This important book is both
a call to understanding and a call to action: if the international
community and state governments are to responsibly and effectively
combat human trafficking, they must center the equality of women in
national policy.
National Archives store materials relating to the history of a
nation, usually operated by the government of that nation. This is
the first ever comprehensive source of information about national
archives around the world covers the national archives of all 195
countries recognized by the United Nations (the 193 member states
and the 2 that non-member observer states: The Holy See and the
State of Palestine) as well as Taiwan (Republic of China). Of the
196 countries, 54 are in Africa, 49 in Asia, 44 in Europe, 33 in
Latin America and the Caribbean, 14 in Oceania, and 2 in Northern
America. All countries maintain a repository for government and
historical records; whether all allow public access will be
determined through research for this work. The National Archives of
all 196 countries will be included in this work (see Appendix A).
Each entry contains: *general information about the archive and
when it is open to researchers (if applicable), * historical
information about the institution and how it developed,
*information about the archives today (its mission, functions,
organization, services, and a description of its physical and
digital infrastructures), and *a current focus section spotlighting
one part of the collection's holdings.

The Bilingual Advantage draws together researchers from education,
economics, sociology, anthropology and linguistics to examine the
economic and employment benefits of bilingualism in the US labor
market, countering past research that shows no such benefits exist.
Collectively, the authors draw on novel methodological approaches
and new data to examine the economics of bilingualism for the new
generation of bilinguals entering a digital-age globalized
workforce. The authors also pay considerable attention to how to
best capture measures of bilingualism and biliteracy, given the
constraints of most existing datasets.

The world has long awaited compelling and unmistakable evidence for
the validity of dynamic psychotherapy. A review in the present book
shows that such evidence has been accumulating over the past ten

This book is an accessible and comprehensive guide to the theory
and practice of short-term treatment. It opens with a chapter on
the theoretical foundations of the method before leading to its

In 2003-2006, Patricia Henderson lived in the South African
province of KwaZulu-Natal where she recorded the experiences of
people living with HIV/AIDS. In this illuminating study, she
recounts the concerns of rural people and explores local
repertoires through which illness was folded into everyday life.
The book spans a period when antiretroviral medication was not
available, and moves on to a time when the treatment became
accessible. Hope gradually became manifest in the recovery of a
number of people through antiretroviral therapies and 'the return'
of bodies they could recognise as their own. This research implies
that protracted interaction with people over time, offers insights
into the unfolding textures of everyday life, in particular in its
focus on suffering, social and structural inequality, illness,
violence, mourning, sensibility, care and intimacy.
