Striving for Military Stability in Europe By Jane Sharp 2006 | 311 Pages | ISBN: 0203001311 | EPUB | 1 MB First Published in 2004. This new book traces the changing relationship between Russia and NATO through the prism of conventional arms control, and focuses on the negotiation, implementation and adaptation of the Conventional Armed Forces in Europe (CFE) Treaty. It shows that arms control agreements reflect rather than affect rela tions between parties. The CFE Treaty codified parity between NATO and the Soviet-led Warsaw Treaty Organization (WTO) in November 1990, reflecting the status quo at the end of the cold war. The benefits were short lived for Russia, however. Although still widely viewed in the West as the cornerstone of security and stability in post-cold war Europe, from the Russian perspective the treaty was soon overtaken by events. With the collapse of the WTO and the Soviet Union in 1991, it became impossible to talk of a military balance between east and west in Europe, especially as all the former WTO states opted for membership in NATO. This study details how the other state parties worked hard to adjust and adapt the treaty to meet Russian concerns about its new weakness relative to NATO, and the issues that complicated Russian acceptance of CFE limits. This book will be of great interest to all students of Russia, NATO, European politics, international relations and strategic studies in general.

Strategies for Therapy with the Elderly : Living with Hope and Meaning, 2nd Edition By Claire Brody; Vicki Semel 2005 | 300 Pages | ISBN: 0826180116 | EPUB | 1 MB Newly revised and updated In this second edition, Brody and Semel contend that meaningful and successful therapy can be accomplished with an aging population, debunking the belief that the elderly can not pick up or put into practice newly acquired information. Rather, the way in which therapy with aging adults is approached may affect the way in which the therapist initially experiences and reacts to the client because of stereotypes about aging.: This book encompasses three major areas of work with elderly clients aged 60 years and older: .; Living in nursing homes; Living in assisted living housing, while participating in community-oriented activities for the aged; Living independently and being seen in private practice. It comprises a variety of approaches, ranging from eclectic small group formats for nursing home residents, group and individual counseling in assisted living settings, and home care for the elderly, to psychoanalytic therapy techniques in private practice. Illustrative case examples used throughout the book bring to life successful strategies and interventions.: New areas of focus include: .; Treatment of stress and mental disorders; Alzheimer's disease; Caregiving issues at home; Expanded information on Medicare coverage issu RapidGator https://rg.to/file/811bb560a9294e4d28083e44a50644f1/wds4x.7z.html Fileaxa https://fileaxa.com/lis7zswoabti/wds4x.7z Fikper https://fikper.com/haeRxkf6ef/wds4x.7z.html

Strategies for Cotton in West and Central Africa : Enhancing Competitiveness in the "Cotton-4" By Ilhem Baghdadli; Hela Cheikhrouhou; Gael Raballand 2007 | 112 Pages | ISBN: 0821371312 | PDF | 1 MB Based on comprehensive empirical studies, the paper identifies key reforms and defines strategies to enhance the competitiveness of the cotton sector in West and Central Africa. Lessons learned from the 1990s suggest that transferring public property to private enterprises is not enough, by itself, to put the sector back on a sustainable path. The cotton sector in most West and Central African countries is critical in terms of its contribution to GDP and exports as well as poverty reduction. Until recently, the cotton sector was characterized by a vertically integrated monopolistic structure, whereby all transactions in the chain including, ginning, transportation and input supply were handled by the State Owned cotton company. However during the late 1990s, a number of internal and external factors created the need to reassess the structure of the cotton industries in the region. This assessment revealed that, in this new context, vertically integrated monopolies were too costly to ensure vertical coordination of the cotton supply chain. Areas of improvement are associated with the following three targets: 1- increasing yields to produce larger volumes, 2- reducing cost and increasing the reliability of grading, 3- enhancing sales revenues. The paper explains how these targets can be effectively pursued through sector reforms.

Strategic Culture and Italy's Military Behavior : Between Pacifism and Realpolitik By Paolo Rosa 2016 | 159 Pages | ISBN: 1498522815 | EPUB | 1 MB Italy, although it considers itself to be a middle-sized power on par with France, the United Kingdom, and Germany, has been incapable of playing an international role comparable to theirs, instead keeping a low-profile foreign policy. This has not been due to any material constraints-Italy's profile has remained consistently low, through economic times both good and bad-but rather to the country's strategic culture, a mixture of realpolitik and pacifist tendencies. This book sets out to analyze the influence of Italy's strategic culture on its foreign policy. It conducts an exploratory case-study to show if hypotheses generated by the strategic culture approach can shed some light on the puzzling Italian behavior in the international arena (puzzling because Italy shows a less assertive foreign policy vis-à-vis other middle powers in the same rank). The first chapter considers the main interpretations of Italian foreign policy and their limitations. The second and third chapters review the literature on strategic culture, stressing its utility for the Italian case. The fourth chapter describes the country's strategic culture through the Liberal, Fascist, and Republican periods, and the fifth chapter analyzes the influence of ideational factors on Italy's behavior abroad. Conclusions sum up the various emerging evidences. Scholars of political science, international relations, strategic studies, and comparative politics will find this work to be of interest.

Strangers and Pilgrims Once More : Being Disciples of Jesus in a Post-Christendom World By Addison Hodges Hart 2014 | 94 Pages | ISBN: 1467440450 | EPUB | 1 MB In this book Addison Hodges Hart articulates some crucial questions for contemporary Christians: What sort of church must we become in today's post-Christendom world, where we can no longer count on society to support Christian ideals? What can we salvage from our Christendom past that is of real value, and what can we properly leave behind? How do we become "strangers and pilgrims" once more, after being "at home" in Christendom for so long? Summoning readers to wise and faithful discipleship in our post-Christendom age, Hart suggests both how Christ's disciples can say "yes" to much that was preserved during the age of Christendom and why they should say "no" to some of the cherished accretions of that passing epoch.

Straight Talk to Teachers : Twenty Insane Ideas for a Better Classroom By Bruce J. Gevirtzman 2009 | 201 Pages | ISBN: 1607090376 | EPUB | 1 MB In a no-holds-barred, candid delivery, Straight Talk to Teachers: Twenty Insane Ideas for a Better Classroom drives directly to the core of what makes an extraordinary teacher, and presents an honest appraisal of why some teachers fail. Bruce J. Gevirtzman speaks to teachers, about teachers, and for teachers. He says, 'This book will provide readers with a hearty laugh-but it also may cause some of them to scream. Rarely does anyone talk about the best ways of helping teachers to become better, because these truths are sometimes scary.' Gevirtzman is convinced that our greatest teachers are hard working, emotionally well adjusted, and incredibly enthusiastic-about their students, their subject matter, and their jobs. By telling it straight, this book can make a huge difference in the way teachers go about their work.

Storytelling and Science : Rewriting Oppenheimer in the Nuclear Age By David K. Hecht 2015 | 212 Pages | ISBN: 1625341423 | EPUB | 1 MB No single figure embodies Cold War science more than the renowned physicist J. Robert Oppenheimer. Although other scientists may have been more influential in establishing the institutions and policies of the nuclear age, none has loomed larger in the popular imagination than the "father of the atomic bomb." Americans have been drawn to the story of the Manhattan Project Oppenheimer helped lead and riveted by the McCarthy-era politics that caught him in its crosshairs. Journalists and politicians, writers and artists have told Oppenheimer's story in many different ways since he first gained notoriety in 1945. In Storytelling and Science, David K. Hecht examines why they did so, and what they hoped to achieve through their stories. From the outset, accounts of Oppenheimer's life and work were deployed for multiple ends: to trumpet or denigrate the value of science, to settle old scores or advocate new policies, to register dissent or express anxieties. In these different renditions, Oppenheimer was alternately portrayed as hero and villain, establishment figure and principled outsider, "destroyer of worlds" and humanist critic. Yet beneath the varying details of these stories, Hecht discerns important patterns in the way that audiences interpret, and often misinterpret, news about science. In the end, he argues, we find that science itself has surprisingly little to do with how its truths are assimilated by the public. Instead its meaning is shaped by narrative traditions and myths that frame how we think and write about it.

Stochastic Two-Dimensional Microscopic Traffic Model: Theory and Applications (Lecture Notes in Intelligent Transportation and Infrastructure) by HongSheng Qi English | July 27, 2024 | ISBN: 9819735963 | 398 pages | EPUB | 95 Mb Microscopic traffic model serves as the foundation of traffic flow theory and is the basis for applications such as traffic simulation, autonomous vehicle simulation, and digital twin technology. Conventional traffic models have primarily focused on the longitudinal dimension and have been deterministic in nature. However, vehicles' movements involve both longitudinal and lateral dimensions, and their dynamics are inherently stochastic. Therefore, a two-dimensional treatment is essential. This book explores the theory and application of stochastic two-dimensional microscopic traffic models, including the development of theory, establishment of methods, and applications to autonomous vehicles. The book is organized into three sections: data, theory, and application. In the data section, various open-source trajectory data are analyzed and noise reduction techniques are discussed. In the theory section, various two-dimensional traffic models are developed. In the application section, the potential applications of these models are discussed, including behavioral inferences and lateral wandering. This book will be a useful reference for students, researchers and engineers in the fields of vehicle engineering and traffic technology.

Steaming In: The Classic Account of Life on the Football Terraces By Colin Ward 2013 | 192 Pages | ISBN: 1471126048 | EPUB | 1 MB Colin Ward spent much of the 1970s and 1980s on the terraces of football grounds around the country, and following England across the continent. It was a time when passionate support of your team did not mean wearing the team shirt and subscribing to your club's TV station. Instead, it often meant having to defend your part of the stadium against attacks from opposition fans, confrontations with the police, and some decidedly hair-raising encounters.Although, post-Hillsborough, this seems like a vanished era, the world of the football hooligan still has the power to fascinate. No one has captured the atmosphere with the same authenticity as Ward, who reveals the truth behind the easy headlines: the camaraderie, the unexpected friendships between rival groups, the characters who attained near mythical status. Controversial, provocative and above all brilliantly told, Steaming Intakes the reader right to the heart of the action.

Statistical Mechanics of Liquids and Solutions: Intermolecular Forces, Structure and Surface Interactions by Roland Kjellander English | December 19, 2024 | ISBN: 1032257288, 1032261625 | 490 pages | MOBI | 3.51 Mb Statistical Mechanics of Liquids and Solutions: Intermolecular Forces, Structure and Surface Interactions by Roland Kjellander English | December 19, 2024 | ISBN: 1032257288 | 490 pages | MOBI | 3.51 Mb The statistical mechanical theory of liquids and solutions is a fundamental area of physical sciences with important implications in other fields of science and industrial applications. Statistical Mechanics of Liquids and Solutions: Intermolecular Forces, Structure and Surface Interactions is the second in a series of two on this subject. While the first volume introduced equilibrium statistical mechanics in general and statistical mechanics of liquids and solutions at an introductory level, the present volume presents an advanced treatment of the subject and penetrates much deeper into liquid state theory. A major theme in both books is the intimate relationship between forces in a fluid and the fluid structure - a relationship that is paramount for the understanding of the subject of interactions in dense fluids. Using this microscopic, molecular approach, the text emphasizes clarity of physical explanations for phenomena and mechanisms relevant to fluids, addressing the structure and behavior of liquids and solutions under various conditions. A notable feature is the author's treatment of intermolecular interactions in liquids and solutions that include interactions between nanoparticles, macroparticles, and surfaces. The book provides an in-depth treatment of simple liquids, molecular fluids, particle dispersions, dense ionic fluids and electrolyte solutions with molecular solvent, both in the bulk and in confinement. It contains a unified exact treatment of electrolyte solutions, ionic liquids and polar fluids as well as approximate theories and applications. Statistical Mechanics of Liquids and Solutions will be an invaluable resource for graduate and postgraduate students in physics, chemistry, soft matter science, surface and colloid science and related fields, as well as professionals and instructors in those areas of science.

State Tax Policy : A Primer By David Brunori 2016 | 177 Pages | ISBN: 1442272864 | EPUB | 1 MB State tax systems are in trouble. Revenue collecting methods developed more than a half century ago are straining to deal with 21st century economies. Globalization and e-commerce are changing the way people work and purchase goods; devolution has steadily shifted responsibility from the federal government to the states; tax incentives have become the weapon of choice in the battle to attract business investment. All of this, in an environment where anti-tax messages have become a staple of political campaigns, have made creating tax policy more challenging than ever before. In the updated fourth edition of State Tax Policy, David Brunori analyzes these and other critical challenges facing state governments. He identifies the important issues, and examines possible solutions in formulating and implementing state tax policy. State Tax Policy is the only book that provides students and professionals with a concise, approachable, and up-to-date introduction to the intricacies of state tax policy.
