Arresting Citizenship: The Democratic Consequences of American Crime Control
ISBN: 9780226137834 / Angielski / Miękka / 2014 / 312 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. The numbers are staggering: One-third of America's adult population has passed through the criminal justice system and now has a criminal record. Many more were never convicted, but are nonetheless subject to surveillance by the state. Never before has the American government maintained so vast a network of institutions dedicated solely to the control and confinement of its citizens.
A provocative assessment of the contemporary carceral state for American democracy, Arresting Citizenship argues that the broad reach of the criminal justice system has fundamentally recast the...

The Modern Prison Paradox: Politics, Punishment, and Social Community
ISBN: 9781107613850 / Angielski / Miękka / 2013 / 308 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. In The Modern Prison Paradox, Amy E. Lerman examines the shift from rehabilitation to punitivism that has taken place in the politics and practice of American corrections. She argues that this punitive turn has had profoundly negative consequences for both crime control and American community life. Professor Lerman's research shows that spending time in America's increasingly violent and castigatory prisons strengthens inmates' criminal networks and fosters attitudes that increase the likelihood of criminal activity following parole. Additionally, Professor Lerman assesses whether America's...

Dance Works: Stories of Creative Collaboration
ISBN: 9780819500243 / Angielski Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. Ride along with choreographer Allison Orr and her civic collaborators as they reflect on their dances together In 2001, Allison Orr made a dance with 13 City of Austin firefighters. Over the next 20 years, her unique practice of collaborating with city employees flowered into civic storytelling through movement at public pools, tableaus of power line workers shimmying up 40' poles in front of 5000 people, and intricate choreography of trash trucks on a misty tarmac. Part memoir, part guide, the artist reflects on her major collaborations and shares interviews with people she's made dances...

The Chancellor as Courtier: Bernhard Von Bulow and the Governance of Germany, 1900-1909
ISBN: 9780521530576 / Angielski / Miękka / 2003 / 368 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. Bernhard von Bulow was the longest-serving Reich Chancellor of Imperial Germany under Kaiser Wilhelm II. Appointed State Secretary of the Foreign Office in 1897 and Chancellor in 1900, he played a crucial role in the political history of the German Empire for twelve important years before the First World War. Bulow was chosen by Wilhelm II to be 'his Bismarck' and he was widely regarded as the most talented and intelligent of Bismarck's successors. Nevertheless his Chancellorship failed to fulfil its political promise, and when he resigned in 1909 he left a bitter legacy of domestic...

Demography, Education, and the Workforce
ISBN: 9781440835896 / Angielski / Miękka / 2009 / 184 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. Demographics, as Peter Drucker famously pointed out, is one of the seven sources of entrepreneurial opportunity. Why are demographics so important? Consider the quality and quantity of the U.S. labor force. Birth rates largely determine the size of the future workforce, and the numbers of younger and older people affect public spending on education. What's more, patterns in marriage and child-bearing affect the labor force, and migration and immigration alter the mix of job skills, languages, and cultures in the U.S. workforce. While business and government must react to these trends,... Demographics, as Peter Drucker famously pointed out, is one of the seven sources of entrepreneurial opportunity.

Cultural Perspectives on the Mathematics Classroom
ISBN: 9780792329312 / Angielski / Twarda / 1994 / 215 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. Mathematics teaching and learning have been dominated by a concern for the intellectual readiness of the child, debates over rote learning versus understanding and, recently, mathematical processes and thinking. The gaze into today's mathematics classroom is firmly focused on the individual learner. Recently, however, studies of mathematics in social practices, including the market place and the home, have initiated a shift of focus. Culture has become identified as a key to understanding the basis on which the learner appropriates meaning. The chapters in this timely book attempt to engage...

Nonlinear System Dynamics
ISBN: 9781468464962 / Angielski / Miękka / 2012 / 350 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. Engineers, scientists, and applied mathematicians are habitually curious about behavior of physical systems. More often than not they will model the system and then analyze the model, hoping to expose the system's dynamic secrets. Traditionally, linear methods have been the norm and nonlinear effects were only added peripherally. This bias for linear techniques arises from the consum mate beauty and order in linear subs paces and the elegance of linear indepen dence is too compelling to be denied. And the bias has been, in the past, for tified by the dearth of nonlinear procedures, rendering...

Parallel Evolution of Parallel Processors

Study the past, if you would divine the future. -CONFUCIUS A well written, organized, and concise survey is an important tool in any newly emerging field of study. This present text is the first of a new series that has been established to promote the publications of such survey books. A survey serves several needs. Virtually every new research area has its roots in several diverse areas and many of the initial fundamental results are dispersed across a wide range of journals, books, and conferences in many dif- ferent sub fields. A good survey should bring together these results. But just a...

Come the Sweet by and by

Come the Sweet By and By is the first recipient of the Juniper Prize, an award granted yearly by the University of Massachusetts Press for an outstanding poetry manuscript. "The unifying theme of these poems," writes Ms. Lerman, "is getting by--no matter how strange, difficult, absurd or grievous are the circumstances you find yourself in, there must be a way to survive them." "Many of these poems are love poems, written at the point where love stopped being easy and somehow became a question of faith, a matter of believing that despite what happens, in the end, the love that's left...

Agricultural Cooperatives in the U.S. and Israel: Comparative Performance of Cooperatives and Investor Owned Firms
ISBN: 9781540891532 / Angielski / Miękka / 2017 / 106 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. Persistent overborrowing in Israeli cooperative agriculture led to a severe financial crisis in 1986. The overborrowing may have been caused by the moral-hazard behavior and horizon problems inherent to cooperative organizations. The possible link between cooperative attributes and financial performance is tested by examining the behavior of agricultural cooperatives in two culturally different environments (the U.S. and Israel) and by comparing the performance of cooperatives to that of investor-owned firms (IOFs). Israeli agricultural cooperatives appear to have consistently followed a much...
