Civil Engineering Practice Examination #2 provides 40
multiple-choice civil engineering exam problems to help civil
engineers prepare for their professional licensing examinations.
This practice examination follows the specifications of the breadth
examination (morning session), as defined by the National Council
of Examiners for Engineering and Surveying (NCEES). This exam
includes 8 questions from each of the 5 civil engineering
sub-disciplines tested during the morning session of the Civil PE
Exam: Water Resources/Environmental, Geotechnical, Structural,
Construction and Transportation. Civil Engineering Practice
Examination #2 should be used as an assessment tool for the
test-taker to evaluate his or her strengths and weaknesses within
the field of civil engineering.
Across the political spectrum, unwed fatherhood is denounced as one
of the leading social problems of today. "Doing the Best I Can" is
a strikingly rich, paradigm-shifting look at fatherhood among
inner-city men often dismissed as "deadbeat dads." Kathryn Edin and
Timothy J. Nelson examine how couples in challenging straits come
together and get pregnant so quickly--without planning. The authors
chronicle the high hopes for forging lasting family bonds that
pregnancy inspires and pinpoint the fatal flaws that often lead to
the demise of the couple's romance. They offer keen insight into a
radical redefinition of family life, where ties between parents are
peripheral and the father-child bond is central.
Drawing on years of fieldwork, "Doing the Best I Can "shows how
mammoth economic and cultural changes have transformed the meaning
of fatherhood among the urban poor. Intimate interviews with more
than one hundred fathers make real the significant obstacles that
low-income men face at every step in the familial process: from the
difficulties of romantic relationships to decision-making dilemmas
at conception, the often celebratory moment of birth, the hardships
that accompany the early years of the child's life, and beyond.

mammoth economic and cultural changes have transformed the meaning
of fatherhood among the urban poor. Intimate interviews with more
than 100 fathers make real the significant obstacles faced by
low-income men at every step in the familial process: from the
difficulties of romantic relationships, to decision-making dilemmas
at conception, to the often celebratory moment of birth, and
finally to the hardships that accompany the early years of the
child's life, and beyond.
