"Wartime Dissent in America" tells the story of U.S. wartime
dissent by exploring the speeches, pamphlets and essays of war
opponents in every major American war since the Revolutionary War.
This history and anthology summarizes each war, with special
emphasis on the jeopardy and impact of dissent during each period.
Far more than an anthology, the book explores the history and
development of American wartime dissent. It is, at once, a valuable
collection of the nation's vital statements of wartime dissent,
while also telling the broader story in which this tradition of
dissent developed and played out. Robert Mann illuminates the
constitutional and moral philosophies used to oppose war over more
than two centuries.

This stimulating book explores the many ways in which social group
workers approach diversity. Capturing the Power of Diversity
represents a range of interests and approaches to the challenges
faced by group workers throughout the world. It illustrates the
complexity, creativity, and excitement of the diversity concept and
it explores how practitioners manage and adjust to diversity and
use its power constructively. The contributing authors discuss
macro approaches to inequality in social, political, and economic
spheres and address concerns about the fit of group work into the
social work curriculum and practitioners'techniques. In this
guidebook, readers can discover how to emphasize social group work
to enhance the education of social work students and to help
professionals deal more effectively with cultural
diversity.Capturing the Power of Diversity covers practice, theory
building, teaching, research, and various age and ethnic groups.
Chapters explore topics related to: the value and importance of
using social group work practice at the macro level educational and
practice dimensions of diversity the necessity of dealing with
inequality the macro system and its economic and political
consequences teaching and practice issues emerging from the effects
of race and class on practiceAn enlightening reference and guide,
Capturing the Power of Diversity is a much-needed source of
information for social work practitioners and students who are
interested in how diversity impacts social group work and are
curious as to how to make group work more effective.

The transition to adulthood is a longer and more complex process
than it was just a few decades ago, and a growing number of youth
and young adults experience significant challenges in the
establishment of an autonomous and independent lifestyle when
compared to previous generations. Successful high school graduation
followed by employment is no longer the inevitable trajectory for
young people, especially in the current socio-economic context
where jobs are less accessible and more demanding in terms of
specialized skills and higher academic qualifications. Unable to
rely on family for emotional and financial support, vulnerable
youth, who grow up in substitute care, are especially effected by
the lengthening of this transition to adulthood. The dismal
outcomes for youth growing up in care are by now well-documented,
and more recently, a range of models have been proposed to help
advance our understanding of these outcomes and how to forestall
them. However, the literature on leaving care has long suffered
from the absence of theory that could guide meaningful
intervention. In response to this gap, Leaving Care and the
Transition to Adulthood offers a comprehensive overview of the
newest contributions to this area in relation to theory, in
addition to the Theory of Emerging Adulthood, while also featuring
cutting-edge research and best practices that support adjustment
across a range of domains for this population. International in
scope, this book focuses on bringing together major advances that
span the literature on transitioning to adulthood within the care
system, offering a unique and important contribution to the field.

Avalon, a site of great power, revered since ancient times as an
entrance to, and exit from, the Otherworld. "The Isle of Avalon"
illustrates and describes the physical and sacred topography of the
Isle as well as its symbols, architecture and history. This is an
updated and revised edition of the first book to provide a coherent
context in which to understand Avalon's many mysteries. Nicholas
Mann shows that the landscape features of the Isle and Tor,
including the Glastonbury Zodiac, the Abbey, the Tor Labyrinth and
the St Michael Ley Line are congruent expressions of Avalon's
remarkable qualities as a focus for the magical and spiritual power
of the English landscape.
Geospace features highly dynamic populations of charged particles
with a wide range of energies from thermal to ultra-relativistic.
Influenced by magnetic and electric fields in the terrestrial
magnetosphere driven by solar wind forcing, changes in the numbers
and energies of these particles lead to a variety of space weather
phenomena, some of which are detrimental to space infrastructure.
This book presents an overview of the latest discoveries and
current scientific understanding of the coupling of electromagnetic
waves and charged particles during magnetic storms, and explains
the observed dynamics of these particle populations. The book
furthermore includes investigations relevant to understanding and
forecasting this space environment and the adverse impacts of space
weather. High-energy electrons and ions in the Van Allen radiation
belts and the ring current are of particular interest and
importance with regard to the operation of space-based
technological infrastructure upon which 21st century civilisation
increasingly relies. This book presents the latest research on the
sources, transport, acceleration and loss of these energetic
particle populations, as well as their coupling during geospace
magnetic storms.
Liebe Leserin, lieber Leser, aile reden von der Vision. Es ist die
Sehnsucht nach einem Vor- stellungsbild, das die Menschen im
Untemehmen wieder begei- stert. Urn ihnen Sinn zu geben flir ihre
Arbeit. Es ist aber auch ein Zeichen, daB die Fiihrung selbst nach
etwas sucht, auf das man wieder stolz sein kann. Am sUirksten ist
das Bediirfnis dort, wo man Visionen nach auBen verkiindet. In
Untemehmen, in denen Geschaftsberichte, PresseverOffentlichungen,
Firmenbroschiiren Visionen beschreiben. Schon formuliert und auf
Glanzpapier ge- druckt. Werbebroschiiren ohne Liebe und
Dberzeugung. Denn bellende Hunde beiBen nicht. Die Vision richtet
sich mit ihrer Botschaft vor allem nach innen. Sie formuliert ein
gemeinsam getragenes Wir-Gefiihl und biindelt Energien als Ausdruck
von Licht und Liebe im Untemehmen. Nach auGen braucht man Visionen
nicht zu verkiinden. Weil sie von alleine strahlen, wenn sie
ziinden. Jeder AuBenstehende spUrt, daB da im Untemehmen etwas
geschehen ist, weil die Anzie- hungskraft, die Sympathie, die
gegenseitige Akzeptanz und Zu- neigung sich verandert haben. Immer
dann, wenn Untemehmen ihre Visionen nach auGen vorzeigen, kann man
davon ausgehen, daB sie innen keine Kraft haben. Es ist nur die
Sehnsucht, die wir nach auBen durch ein schones Bild kaschieren,
wenn uns innen die Leere bedriickt. Wie bei so vielen Begriffen,
die in den letzten Jahren aufkamen, wird die neue Idee von der
Gefahr begleitet, daB wir nur an der OberfUiche bleiben. Der
Begriff wird verwassert. Dabei ist es so einfach, Visionen von
"Nicht-Visionen" zu unterscheiden: o Visionen sind Ausdruck der
menschlichen SchOpfungskraft.
The purpose of this book is to aid you in identifying natural
ivory, ivory look-a-likes, and manufactured imitations using
non-destructive testing techniques with readily available
equipment. With 128 pages and 168 photographs you will be able to
confidently identify these materials.
Due to the distributed nature of information collection in wireless
sensor networks and the inherent limitations of the component
devices, the ability to store, locate, and retrieve data and
services with minimum energy expenditure is a critical network
function. Additionally, effective search protocols must scale
efficiently and consume a minimum of network energy and memory
reserves. A novel search protocol, the Trajectory-based Selective
Broadcast Query protocol, is proposed. An analytical model of the
protocol is derived, and an optimization model is formulated. Based
on the results of analysis and simulation, the protocol is shown to
reduce the expected total network energy expenditure by 45.5
percent to 75 percent compared to current methods. This research
also derives an enhanced analytical node model of random walk
search protocols for networks with limited-lifetime resources and
time-constrained queries.
