A comprehensive study of the mergers affecting the railway industry from 1970 to the present and the relaxation of federal regulations that contributed to them.

According to available estimates, only .3% of the total fresh water is usable for the world's entire human and animal populations. Some experts have observed that in the near future, the earth will face severe scarcity of water, resulting in an insufficient amount of water to sustain our ever increasing future needs. Others believe that such pessimistic estimates are unwarranted.Due to conflicting opinions and data-interpretations, the future ...

The Caribbean basin has experienced many economic changes in the new global environment. This work examines the role producer services, specifically the major accounting firms, play in the sustainability and expansion of the Caribbean basin economies.

An insider's account of how presidential commissions create public policy for privacy protection, energy accountability, and privatization. The author describes the process designed by private citizens, culminating in needed legislation.

This is a survey of a seminal and intensely controversial period in British history, from the union of the Crowns of England and Scotland in 1603 to the union of the Kingdoms in 1707. The book explores the intersecting histories of the Stuart monarchies and considers how events in each nation were shaped by being part of a multiple kingdom as well as by their own internal dynamics. Throughout, special attention is given to the personalities an...

In this original contribution to Dickinson biography and criticism, James Guthrie demonstrates how the poet's optical disease -- strabismus, a deviation of the cornea -- directly affected her subject matter, her poetic method, and indeed her sense of her own identity.Dickinson's illness compelled her to remain indoors with her eyes heavily bandaged for months at a time, especially during the summer. Guthrie maintains that these extended period...

Shows how the mechanics and underlying structure of military strategy works.

As an old proverb puts it, _Two Jews, three opinions._ In the long, rich, tumultuous history of the Jewish people, this characteristic contentiousness has often been extended even unto Heaven. Arguing with God is a highly original and utterly absorbing study that skates along the edge of this theological thin ice_at times verging dangerously close to blasphemy_yet also a source of some of the most poignant and deeply soulful expressions of hum...

It is not uncommon that a group of scientists from many different disciplines join a working group, discuss a topic of interest and edit a volume of articles related to this topic. They may even agree on a jointly written introduction or conclusion . The study group "Environmental Standards" established in 1987 as an expert panel of the German Academy of Sciences and Technology in Berlin broke with that common tradition and became involved in ...

This volume incorporates energy into the corpus of economic analysis and develops a new empirical model of production based on the two universal factor inputs - broadly defined energy and broadly defined organization.

An encyclopedic work that integrates American Indian law and Native American political and legal traditions.

Recently, there has appeared a new type of evaluating partial differential equations with Volterra integral operators in various practical areas. Such equations possess new physical and mathematical properties. This monograph systematically discusses application of the finite element methods to numerical solution of integrodifferential equations. It will be useful for numerical analysts, mathematicians, physicists and engineers. Advanced under...

This volume describes research topics in theoretical materials science, encompassing the computational methods and techniques for understanding the physical principles in growth methods of optoelectronic materials and related surface problems.

Long overlooked, transport is emerging as an important policy area for the European Union and is a growing source of political tension. This broad-based analysis of the European transport industry includes an in-depth examination of the four major modes: rail, road, air, and shipping, also the EU's growing cross-border transport links. Ross frames this discussion with a look at the role of transport in the overall European political economy-pa...

Devoted to a comprehensive exploration of abuse and its role in the genesis of pain, this book will enable clinicians to identify pain-prone behaviour and to deal with the issues and challenges that patients with this condition present.

Over a hundred nurses, including nurse leaders such as Beverly Malone, Marla Salmon, and Joyce Fitzpatrick, contribute stories, essays, and personal reflections on mentorship. Their voices and the author's research, suggests that nurses are inventing a new, evolving, and very meaningful paradigm, which reaps mentorship's classic benefits: career success and advancement, personal and professional satisfaction, enhanced self-esteem and confidenc...

Constructivism is one of the most influential theories in contemporary education and learning theory. It has had great influence in science education. The papers in this collection represent, arguably, the most sustained examination of the theoretical and philosophical foundations of constructivism yet published. Topics covered include: orthodox epistemology and the philosophical traditions of constructivism, the relationship of epistemology...
