This edited volume examines innovative ways of preparing,
supervising, and evaluating principals and explores factors that
promote effective leadership practices. Chapter authors consider
how principals' leadership practices affect teachers' instruction,
satisfaction, commitment, retention, and effectiveness, and present
evidence that principals can influence key student outcomes as
well. Covering topics such as school leaders' use of time, their
efforts to reduce implicit bias, how leadership practices are
associated with teachers' workplace attitudes, leadership and
student achievement, and how school leaders can best be supported
under new federal legislation, this volume is a "must read" for
educational leadership and policy faculty, school and district
administrators, and researchers committed to promoting effective
principal leadership.

The Peninsular war was not only one of the great periods in British
military history, it was also a war in which guerillas exerted a
major influence, and as such, has continued relevance today.
Salamanca established Wellington as one of the great military
commanders of any age and it is one of the battles which produced
significant results. As well as the battle the campaign contains
two of the most memorable sieges ever under-taken by British arms,
those of Ciudad Rodrigo and Badajoz. This book, originally
published in 1972, uses eye-witness accounts with the result that
the reader can hear the principal characters explain their actions
and see the battlefield through the eyes of the men who were there.
The English Civil War of 1642-6 was one of the most formative
periods of British history. This book, originally published in
1974, was one of the first to explore in depth the situation of the
common soldier - how he was trained, clothed, equipped , fed and
paid; how he amused himself, was disciplined and cared for
medically. As well as discussing aspects such as uniforms, pensions
and the drill & establishment for artillery, cavalry, pike and
musketeers, a typical Civil War battle is dissected into 7 phases,
exploring the part played by both officers and men.

These notes describe how to average and fit numerical data that
have been obtained either by simulation or measurement. Following
an introduction on how to estimate various average values, they
discuss how to determine error bars on those estimates, and how to
proceed for combinations of measured values. Techniques for fitting
data to a given set of models will be described in the second part
of these notes. This primer equips readers to properly derive the
results covered, presenting the content in a style suitable for a
physics audience. It also includes scripts in python, perl and
gnuplot for performing a number of tasks in data analysis and
fitting, thereby providing readers with a useful reference guide.

Botanical, a new series from Reaktion, is the first to integrate
horticultural writing with a broader account of the cultural and
social impact of plants. "Oak," one of the first two books in the
series, narrates the biography of the tree that since time
immemorial has been a symbol of loyalty, strength, generosity, and
renewal. Peter Young explores how the oak, native to the northern
hemisphere and found in locations as diverse as the Americas and
tropical Asia, has played an important role in state-building, art,
folk tales, poems, and songs. Starting with the pagan societies
that venerated the oak, Young examines how the tree was used in
other religions, revealing how it was believed to be a gateway
between worlds in Celtic mythology and later became sacred to Thor
in Norse mythology. He follows the oak as it was adopted by many
Western European countries as a national symbol, including England,
France, and Germany. The United States Congress designated the oak
as America's national tree in 2004, and it is the state tree of
Iowa, Connecticut, Illinois, Maryland, New Jersey, and Georgia.
Individual oak trees have also gained historical importance, such
as the Charter Oak in Hartford, Connecticut, which became a symbol
of American independence. In addition to tracing the history of the
tree itself, Young investigates oak as a wood used to make
furniture, bridges, wine casks, homes, ships, weapons, and even the
electric chair, and he describes how the tree has been used as a
food source--its fruit, the acorn, was eaten in ancient Greece,
ancient Iberia, and Korea, and it was a traditional food of Native
Americans. Packed with information and beautiful illustrations,
"Oak" tells the fascinating tale of this stately, durable member of
the natural world.
Let’s Dance: A Celebration of Ontario’s Dance Halls and Summer
Dance Pavilions is a nostalgic musical journey, recapturing the
unforgettable music of youth and lasting friendships, the days when
the live mellow sounds of Big Bands wafted through the air –
Louis Armstrong, the Dorsey Brothers, Bert Niosi, Art Hallman,
Johnny Downs, Mart Kenney, Bobby Kinsman, Ronnie Hawkins …
Throughout the 1920s to the ’60s, numerous legendary entertainers
drew thousands of people to such memorable venues as the Brant Inn
in Burlington, Dunn’s Pavilion in Bala, the Stork Club at Port
Stanley, to the Club Commodore in Belleville and the Top Hat
Pavilion in North Bay – and the hundreds of other popular dance
venues right across Ontario. From the days of jitney dancing
through the introduction of jazz and the Big Bands era to the
sounds of some of Ontario’s best rock groups, people of all ages
came to dance and some to find romance on soft summer nights.
