Space is now a congested, contested, and competitive environment. Space systems must become more resilient to potential adversary actions and system failures, but changes to space systems are costly. To reduce costs, the Air Force asked RAND to identify non-materiel means doctrine, organization, training, leadership and education, personnel, facilities, and policy to enhance space resilience over the near and far terms."
The revised and updated second edition of Introduction to Cities explores why cities are such a vital part of the human experience and how they shape our everyday lives. Written in engaging and accessible terms, Introduction to Cities examines the study of cities through two central concepts: that cities are places, where people live, form communities, and establish their own identities, and that they are spaces, such as the inner city and the suburb, that offer a way to configure and shape the material world and natural environment. Introduction to Cities covers the theory of cities from an historical perspective right through to the most recent theoretical developments. The authors offer a balanced account of life in cities and explore both positive and negative themes. In addition, the text takes a global approach, with examples ranging from Berlin and Chicago to Shanghai and Mumbai. The book is extensively illustrated with updated maps, charts, tables, and photographs. This new edition also includes a new section on urban planning as well as new chapters on cities as contested spaces, exploring power and politics in an urban context. It contains; information on the status of poor and marginalized groups and the impact of neoliberal policies; material on gender and sexuality; and presents a greater range of geographies with more attention to European, Latin American, and African cities. Revised and updated, Introduction to Cities provides a complete introduction to the history, evolution, and future of our modern cities.
Demonstrating the power of teaching global literature from a critical literacy perspective, this book explores the ways that K-6 educators can infuse diverse texts into their classrooms and find support for their endeavours in teacher inquiry communities. Through carefully analyzed, ethnographically informed portraits of classroom life alternating with teachers’ own accounts of their teaching and learning experiences, it demonstrates how students are moved to question, debate, and take action in response to global texts. This multi-vocal work both emerges from and responds to tensions and debates related to the purpose and practice of literature education in a time of Common Core State Standards.

The authors of this report explore a more expansive approach to readiness assessments--one that looks beyond the narrow lens of operational readiness more typical of readiness systems in use in the Department of Defense and considers a broader set of dimensions that could affect readiness outcomes. This more expansive perspective can lead to a better understanding of the root cause of readiness shortfalls.

In this review of commercial space capabilities that could support the USSF's future space architecture and innovation ecosystem, the authors characterize capabilities and trends in the commercial market through mid-2020.
Stream Ecology: Structure and Function of Running Waters is designed to serve as a textbook for advanced undergraduate and graduate students, and as a reference source for specialists in stream ecology and related fields. This Third Edition is thoroughly updated and expanded to incorporate significant advances in our understanding of environmental factors, biological interactions, and ecosystem processes, and how these vary with hydrological, geomorphological, and landscape setting.The broad diversity of running waters – from torrential mountain brooks, to large, lowland rivers, to great river systems whose basins occupy sub-continents – makes river ecosystems appear overwhelming complex. A central theme of this book is that although the settings are often unique, the processes at work in running waters are general and increasingly well understood.Even as our scientific understanding of stream ecosystems rapidly advances, the pressures arising from diverse humanactivities continue to threaten the health of rivers worldwide. This book presents vital new findings concerning human impacts, and the advances in pollution control, flow management, restoration, and conservation planning that point to practical solutions.Reviews of the first edition:".. an unusually lucid and judicious reassessment of the state of stream ecology" Science Magazine"..provides an excellent introduction to the area for advanced undergraduates and graduate students…" Limnology & Oceanography"… a valuable reference for all those interested in the ecology of running waters." Transactions of the American Fisheries Society Reviews of the second edition:"Overall, a must for the field centre and a good starter text in stream ecology." (TEN News, October, 2007)"Highly recommended. Upper-division undergraduates through faculty." (P. R. Pinet, CHOICE, Vol. 45 (7), 2008) "... a very good, fluidly readable book which contains the latest key scientific knowledge of the ecology of running waters."

Bogen er en efterfølger til Kognitiv terapi - modeller og metoder fra 2005. I denne bog præsenteres dels opdateret kognitiv terapi ved de fleste psykiske lidelser hos voksne, dels en række af de væsentligste såkaldt tredjebølge bidrag til behandling. Bogen indeholder f.eks. kognitiv terapi ved misbrug, skizofreni, affektive lidelser, angsttilstande, spiseforstyrrelser, ADHD, ludomani, arbejdsrelateret stress og kapitlet om mindfulness, ACT, positiv psykologi, "compassion focused therapy" og neuropsykologi. Bogen giver såvel en teoretisk forståelse af de enkelte lidelser som praktiske kliniske anvisninger på vurdering og behandling. Der er endvidere skemaer til klinisk brug til alle kapitler, der kan downloades fra HRs hjemmeside. Kognitiv terapi redigeres at to kapaciteter på omådet: Nicole K. Rosenberg, chefpsykolog, leder af Klinik for angstlidelser ved Aarhus Universitetshospital og adjungeret professor.

Kognitiv adfærdsterapi (KAT) er en terapiform, der er kendetegnet ved mange diagnosespecifikke metoder, men som alle andre terapiformer har KAT også fra starten haft en solid stamme af transdiagnostiske metoder, fx sokratisk dialog og adfærdseksperiment. Det er disse metoder, som forfatterne har ønsket at fremhæve og udvikle med denne udgivelse. Bogens forfattere går desuden i dybden med metoder, som er mindre velbeskrevne i faglitteraturen, og som kan anvendes ved mange psykiske lidelser og problemstillinger, fx kontinuummetoden. Titlen Kognitiv adfærdsterapi på tværs dækker også over, at flere af metoderne nedbryder skellet mellem anden og tredje bølge inden for kognitiv terapi. Endelig er KAT kendt for at være en rationel, problemløsende terapiform, men den rummer også mange kreative, emotionsfokuserede metoder, som præsenteres i bogen, fx visualisering og metaforarbejde. Kognitiv adfærdsterapi på tværs er skrevet til klinikere i alle sektorer, der har et grundlæggende kendskab til KAT, og som ønsker at udvide deres repertoire. Bogen imødekommer et behov hos klinikere, der anvender KAT, og som ofte behandler klienter med komorbide, blandede eller atypiske tilstande eller behandler klienter med forskellige lidelser. Bogen kan læses fra den ene ende til den anden, men kapitlerne kan også læses hver for sig og fungere som et opslagsværk med vejledning og inspiration til kliniske problemstillinger.

This book addresses the specialized topic of input–output models for sustainable industrial systems. While these models are well-established tools for economic analysis, their underlying mathematical structure is also applicable to the analysis and optimization of a wide range of systems that are characterized by linear interdependencies among their components. This means that input–output models can be used for diverse networks, such as processes within industrial plants, industrial plants in a supply chain, or departmental units within an organization. The models can also be readily extended to interactions between man-made systems and the environment, e.g. flows of natural resources and/or pollutants. Furthermore, model variants with excess degrees of freedom can be formulated to allow optimization and decision-making to be integrated within the framework. This book examines how input–output models can be applied to sustainable industrial systems. Each major variant is discussed separately in a dedicated chapter, and representative case studies and supporting LINGO code are also included.

In rural America, perhaps more than other areas, high school students have the ability to contribute to the revitalization and sustainability of their home communities by engaging in oral history projects designed to highlight the values that are revered and worth saving in their region. The Arkansas Delta Oral History Project, a multiyear collaboration between the University of Arkansas and several public high schools in small, rural Arkansas towns, gives students that opportunity. Through the project, trained University of Arkansas studentmentors work with high school students on in-depth writing projects that grow out of oral history interviews. The Delta, a region where the religious roots of southern culture run deep and the traditions of cooking, farming, and hunting are passed from generation to generation, provides the ideal subject for oral history projects. In this detailed exploration of the project, the authors draw on theories of cultural studies and critical pedagogy of place to show how students’ work on religion, food, and race exemplifies the use of community literacy to revitalize a distressed economic region. Advancing the discussion of place-based education, The Arkansas Delta Oral History Project is both inspirational and instructive in offering a successful model of an authentic literacy program.
