Book Description

“Organizational Change and Gender Equity wonderfully illuminates the way a national context can impact the many daily balancing acts of working families. Drawing together articles about the US, the UK, Australia, Sweden and Denmark, the editors and authors show us what huge difference it makes what one’s government and what one’s culture is. This book is must reading for scholars, policy makers, and working parents alike.” Arlie Russell Hochschild, University of California, Berkley The historic view of work and family as separate spheres of social life with little effect on each other is no longer valid. Likewise, the traditional roles of men and women in most advanced industrialized societies have changed drastically. Women are becoming as likely as men to be in the paid labor force, even during their early childbearing years, and are often interested in occupying the full range of occupations at all levels of organizational hierarchies. Men are also increasingly more engaged in taking on an active role in family life, especially in developing close relations with children. Social scientists in several countries are now engaged in research which focuses on how companies are changing to help individuals combine work and family roles, in a way that would yield benefits to work organizations, make progress toward the goal of gender equity, and contribute to the well-being of employees and their families. Nineteen of these scholars, representing three continents and a wide range of disciplines, including anthropology, business, economics, education, law, psychology, social work, and sociology, have contributed original chapters to Organizational Change and Gender Equity. While most chapter authors have academic affiliations, most have also been substantially involved in direct work with companies or gender equity and/or work-family issues. The book is divided into three main parts. The first part takes up what is known about mothers and fathers at the workplace, in order to explore problems working parents have that workplace practices and policies can worsen or solve. The second part covers workplace programs and policies relevant to work-family and gender issues in four societies. The last part of the book encompasses case studies of organizations undergoing change. Scholars, researchers, and graduate students in the fields of management, human resources, international studies, family studies, and gender studies will all benefit from the fresh perspectives in Organizational Change and Gender Equity.

Book Description

Challenges of Astronomy in a unique collection of thirty astronomy experiments ranging from ancient astronomy to cosmology. Each of the experiments contains one or more challenges for the reader. The progression is from the Earth outward through the solar system to the stellar and galactic realm. Topics include the shape of the sky, Stonehenge as a stoneage abacus, determination of the size of the Earth, the distance of the Moon and planets, Kepler's laws, planetary mass and density, the temperatures and atmospheres of planets, the speed of light, the distances of stars, the nature of the quiet and active Sun, photometry and spectroscopy, stars clusters and variable stars, fundamental properties of stars, and Olber's paradox.
Challenges of Astronomy is a translation and extensive revision of a German-language resource book for secondary school teachers of science. Physical science teachers will find this edition too a rich resource of experiments to their own milieus, but it is suitable for many other English-language readers too, from northern and southern hemisphere locations. The beginning experiments are suitable for bright high school and non-science major university students while the later experiments which offer increasingly difficult challenges are more suitable for sciences majors. Amateurs with a variety of skills will find this hands-on book entertaining, informative, and useful.

A wonderful introduction to astronomy.......2004-11-04

This is a very readable and informative textbook. While the initial exercises require far less scientific sophistication than the later ones, it is definitely written with potential scientists in mind (astronomy undergraduates in particular). It starts with some very preliminary material on our perception of the shape of the sky, followed by the use of sky charts and then an explanation of Stonehenge as a tool to calculate eclipses. The next twenty or so chapters deal with the fundamentals of doing planetary astronomy, while the final chapters move us outside the Solar System. It includes several useful appendices, including ones on coordinate systems, error analysis, and planetary positions.

If you are interested in astronomy, this is a great place to start.

Book Description

This volume of Macromolecular Symposia contains chapters dedicated to different aspects of modern polymer science. Highly skilled researchers produced texts with detailed information on several subjects, such as, hybrid materials, detection of electric charges trapped in polymer systems, supramolecular structures in rubber blends, compatibilization of elastomer-based blends, rubber/organoclay nano-composites, new stereospecific catalysts and conductive polymer blends. Most of these subjects are extremely new and likely to appear in polymer textbooks only in the latter part of the 21 ^st century.

Book Description

FROM THE PREFACE In the years since the first edition, I have continued to consider ways in which the texts could be improved. In this regard, I researched several topics including how people learn (learning styles, etc.), how the brain functions in storing and retrieving information, and the fundamentals of memory systems. Many of the changes incorporated in this second edition are a result of this research. The changes were field-tested during a three-year period in which I taught a water and wastewater mathematics course for Palomar Community College, San Marcos, California. · All the fundamental math concepts and skills needed for daily water/wastewater treatment plant operations. This first volume, "Basic Math Concepts for Water and Wastewater Plant Operators," provides a thorough review of the necessary mathematical concepts and skills encountered in the daily operations of a water and wastewater treatment plant. Each chapter begins with a skills check to allow the student to determine whether or not a review of the topic is needed. Practice problems illustrate the concepts presented in each section.

Applied Math for Wastewater Operators.......2003-03-20

This book is a must have for individuals in the wastewater treatment field. I have used this book to instruct and train operators in preparation of certification exams. It covers all aspects and processes of wastewater treatment.

The included workbook has perforated pages that makes it easy to make copies to work out the problems. Anyone who studies the material in this book will have no problems with the math portion of certification exams.

Book Description

This handbook provides water treatment operators thorough coverage of the common math problems they use daily and is designed for study for Certification testing. The four sections match the four (4) Grade Levels of Certification. Each section includes 100 math problems for that level followed by detailed solutions on how to work out each problem. There is also a 10 question test (with answers) at the end of each Chapter. Appendices cover common equations, conversation tables and formulas, units of measures, and a list of chemicals.
