As part of a larger study on the future of the post-World War II liberal international order, RAND researchers analyze the health of the existing order and offer implications for future U.S. policy. The study's overall conclusion is that the postwar order continues to enjoy many elements of stability but is increasingly threatened by major geopolitical and domestic socioeconomic trends that call into question the order's fundamental assumptions.

The importance of protein-protein interactions in biological systems is a rapidly emerging research theme and the revolution that is taking place in our understanding of plant genomics is enabling us to make exciting discoveries that have implications for both the fundamental and applied plant sciences. This book provides, at research and professional level, an overview of our current understanding of the significance of protein-protein interactions in plant biology. Each chapter considers the biochemical mechanism of the protein-protein interaction and its functional significance, and draws comparisons with similar interactions in animal cells.

Communication and Sport: Surveying the Field

Communication and Sport: Surveying the Field examines a wide array of topics necessary for students to understand sports media, rhetoric, culture, and organizations from micro to macro-level issues. Everything from youth to amateur to professional sports is addressed through varied useful lens such as mythology, community, and identity. Communication and Sport introduces readers to the traditions and vocabulary found in communication scholarship as it then explains what distinguishes communication from related disciplinary approaches, such as sociology, anthropology, history, and cultural studies. Subsequent chapters explore such issues as: fan cultures; racial identity and gender in sports media; politics and nationality in sports; parent/child relationships and player/coach interactions in sports; sports and religion; and crisis communication in sports organization. In response to changes in the sporting landscape, the Fifth Edition features an extensive structural change and reorganization with newly designed units and chapters in addition to introducing a new coauthor Nicky Lewis.

Equity in Data

Equity in Data

Building a better data culture can be the path to better results and greater equity in schools. But what do we mean by data?Your students are not just statistics. They aren't simply a set of numbers or faceless dots on a proficiency scale. They are vibrant collections of experiences, thoughts, perspectives, emotions, wants, and dreams. And taken collectively, all of that information is data—and should be valued as such.Equity in Data not only unpacks the problematic nature of current approaches to data but also helps educators demystify and democratize data. It shows how we can bake equity into our data work and illuminate the disparities, stories, and truths that make our schools safer and stronger—and that help our students grow and thrive.To this end, the authors introduce a four-part framework for how to create an equitable data culture (along with a complementary set of data principles). They demonstrate how we can rethink our approach to data in the interest of equity by making five shifts:Expand our understanding of data.Strengthen our knowledge of data principles.Break through our fear of data.Decolonize our data gathering processes.Turn data into meaningful, equitable action.We have an opportunity to realign school data with what students want out of their educational experiences. When we put equity first, we put students first.

A "how to" guide for planning and executing an effective and successful family evacuation in times of necessity: fire, flood, earthquake, nuclear disaster and other emergencies. At least half the human race lives in coastal areas or other localities that might require them to evacuate. The Evacuation Book will help families living in these risky areas to organize themselves ahead of time in order to leave in an orderly manner. This book also provides solutions to remaining in a damaged home, traveling safely through dangerous areas, and starting life over if returning home is not possible. The authors believe that The Evacuation Book will provide families the means to maintain sanity and save lives in an age of increasing disaster and unpredictability. What questions will this book help me answer? You will learn: -How to begin your planning process (simple checklist) -How to determine most likely threats (how to make a simple survey of area threats) -How to set up a simple and inexpensive storage system so supplies can be easily stored and if necessary transported on short notice (how to properly store supplies inexpensively, how to pack containers, how to load your vehicle) -How to determine where to go if you must leave home (how to select a destination, how to make prior arrangements with friends or family) -How to plan, if you become a refugee. What to do when you arrive at your destination (you have escaped the disaster area, but now what?) -How to begin a new life if need be (if your home and job have been destroyed, you will have to start over) -In a forced evacuation, overcoming the chaos and danger is the primary focus of your efforts. Through reasonable planning, and thoughtful preparation, you will more likely be able to move yourself and your loved ones successfully and safely to a destination of your choosing.
Localization for $THH(ku)$ and the Topological Hochschild and Cyclic Homology of Waldhausen Categories
The authors develop a theory of $THH$ and $TC$ of Waldhausen categories and prove the analogues of Waldhausen's theorems for $K$-theory. They resolve the longstanding confusion about localization sequences in $THH$ and $TC$, and establish a specialized devissage theorem. As applications, the authors prove conjectures of Hesselholt and Ausoni-Rognes about localization cofiber sequences surrounding $THH(ku)$, and more generally establish a framework for advancing the Rognes program for studying Waldhausen's chromatic filtration on $A(*)$.
