Book Description
Although it is agreed that the dual development of monetary integration and territorial enlargement are likely to generate profound effects on European spatial structure, in both West and East, much uncertainty centres around the question of what changes will be brought about. This book furthers our economic understanding of the opportunities and challenges offered by these developments. The emphasis is primarily on the economic agenda associated with European integration. Part A reviews the debate on European monetary unification. Economic integration raises many issues, one which is dealt in depth is the issue of convergence versus divergence. Part B centres around the dynamics of cohesion in the EU and the associated regional policies, reflecting on experience from the past and challenges for the future. Part C sheds some light on the complexities of transition and integration of Central and Eastern European countries, the second major challenge being faced by the EU at the turn of the century.
Book Description
Legal and public policies concerning youth gun violence tend to rely heavily on crime reports, survey data, and statistical methods. Rarely is attention given to the young voices belonging to those who carry high-powered semiautomatic handguns. In Language of the Gun, Bernard E. Harcourt recounts in-depth interviews with youths detained at an all-malecorrectional facility, exploring how they talk about guns and what meanings they ascribe to them in a broader attempt to understand some of the assumptions implicit in current handgun policies. In the process, Harcourt redraws the relationships among empirical research, law, and public policy.
Home to over 150 repeat offenders ranging in age from twelve to seventeen, the Catalina Mountain School is made up of a particular stratum of boys—those who have committed the most offenses but will still be released upon reaching adulthood. In an effort to understand the symbolic and emotional language of guns and gun carrying, Harcourt interviewed dozens of these incarcerated Catalina boys. What do these youths see in guns? What draws them to handguns? Why do some of them carry and others not? For Harcourt, their often surprising answers unveil many of the presuppositions that influence our laws and policies.

Product Description
Murphy's Law: Murphy McKenna managed to get herself stuck in an unexpected, Maine blizzard, in a remote cabin with dead phones, and impassable roads. Could there be a worse time for a wounded man to show up on her doorstep? Not only is Garrett hurt, he's also apparently been out wandering in the storm with a duffel bag stuffed with money, antique jewelry, and a gun. Will Murphy's conscience allow her to turn her back on the handsome stranger who may be a thief, a bank robber, or worse ...? The Scent of Orchids: Elissa Martin arrives in Hawaii to save her cousin from Adam Wolcot. She's unprepared for the effect the man has on her, and decides the months of self-imposed exile on her Missouri farm, following her parents deaths and a failed love life have taken their toll on her mental state. The more she gets to know him, the more she convinces herself that any danger he represents to Lyla is just a figment of her imagination. Can Elissa overcome her distrust of men, and of Adam, enough to fall in love with him?

Book Description
The aim of this book, the first of its kind, is to convey an impression of this enormous variety in scent and visual appearance of orchid flowers. The interdisciplinary concept of the beautifully illustrated book (over 170 colour photographs) should guarantee that a broad spectrum of readers will find this publication appealing: people engaged in the fragrance field, professional scientists, naturalists as well as hobbyists.
"This book takes the reader into the scented world of orchids...... (It) contains an introduction to the world of orchids, a description of the orchids found on five continents and the chemistry of their aromas. (One of the unique features of this publication) is the way it has bridged the gap between the scientist and the lay person.
The book is filled with beautiful color prints of more than 170 orchids, so that the variation and exotic nature of many orchids are readily understood. To not overburden the lay reader with the detailed chemical composition of each of the aromas of the 165 orchid species examined, the author has cleverly placed the data in an appendix. This makes the book easier to read without comprising the scientific contribution of the author's work.
Finally, here is a book of excellent value which will become the reference text on orchid aromas."

Elissa Martin arrives in Hawaii to save her cousin from terrible trouble...Adam Wolcot. But she is unprepared for the effect the man has on her. She decides the months of self-imposed exile on her Missouri farm, following the deaths of her parents and a failed love affair have taken their toll on her otherwise healthy mental state. Yet, the more she gets to know him, the more she convinces herself that any danger he represents to Lyla is just a figment of her over-active imagination. Can Elissa overcome her distrust of men, and to Adam in particular, enough to fall in love with him?

Customer Reviews:
Simply excellent!.......2006-08-04
Even practicing physicists will find much here (in fact, more than a small number would benefit from a little refresher!).
An Excellent Teaching Tool.......2006-04-06
In the interest of self-disclosure I should note that I am a co-author of one of the ranking tasks in this book.
That having been said, I have found this collection of assessment tools to be a valuable addition to the various pencil and paper activities I use in my physics classes.
The idea of the ranking task is to have a student compare a umber of physically similar systems that are allowed to vary in only one or two ways. The student must rank the systems (usually from greatest to least) on the basis of one of the system's physical variables (i.e.-velocity, acceleration, electric field strength, currect, etc.). The variables that are allowed to change may or may not affect the ranking of the systems. As an example, the mass of a falling object may be allowed to vary over rocks allowed to fall under the influence of gravity only. The ranking task may ask the student to rank the systems ont he basis of which one took the longest time to fall. In this case, the mass, while different in each situation, is irrelevant to the fall time and thus would not be used to determine the ranking.
The real power of these assessment tools is that they can quickly and clearly get at a student's mis/alternative conceptions as to which physical variables might change a system's behavior. The items can be used as quiz and test questions as well as during class time as a "self-check" on "in-class check" by the educator to assist students in working through a Karplus learnign cycle of ellicit-confront-resolve and apply for a concent or concept cluster in a subject area.
In addition to ranking tasks for most of the areas found in standard first year physics curriculum that book also discusses the pedagogical theory behind the assessment tool and has an answer key. As a physics educator, I have found this resource to be extraordinarily helpful both as a source of material for my classes and as an inspiration in creating my own material. I would rcommend this for any physics educator teaching high school or college physics at the introductory level.
Ranking task Exercises in Physics.......2004-07-10
New approach to old thinking. Great learning tool. Made sense on difficult concepts.
A very useful book........2000-08-16
Students's preconcetions (misconceptions, alternative/naive/intuitive conceptions) are generally main obstacles of conceptual learning. This book merely aims to overcome that problem by providing a task of ranking for a set of physical situations. Topics are; Kinematics, Forces, 2-D motion, Work-energy, Impulse-momentum, Rotational motion, Properties of matter, Thermodynamics, Waves, Electrostatics, DC and resistive circuits, Magnetism and EM. An effective way in your teaching of physics.
