Unimolecular Reactions

Unimolecular Reactions

Kenneth A. Holbrook; Michael J. Pilling; Struan H. Robertson

John Wiley Sons Inc
1996
sidottu
Representing major advances in this area of gas kinetics in the last twenty-five years, Unimolecular Reactions has been considerably rewritten to include important recent progress in both theory and experiment. New chapters cover the treatment of reactions with 'loose' transition states, the Master equation, and the approximate forms of Statistical Adiabatic Channel Theory. Extensive illustrations highlight both established activation methods and newer techniques such as the use of infrared and UV lasers, overtone excitation, molecular beam experiments and mass spectrometric methods.

God-Apes and Fossil Men

God-Apes and Fossil Men

Kenneth A. R. Kennedy

The University of Michigan Press
2000
sidottu
Until recently the scientific study of the prehistoric peoples of India, Pakistan, Sri Lanka, and the South Asian borderlands has been neglected, beyond some cursory comments in the popular literature about archaeological discoveries. Here is a book that offers much more: a broad survey of all prehistoric cultures of the Indian subcontinent from Paleolithic to Iron Age times.Written in a style accessible to the general reader, the book pioneers a new approach involving the integration of data from archaeological, paleontological, ecological, and anthropological investigations to offer a comprehensive picture of the origins, diversity, and lifeways of southern Asian populations. Complex scientific ideas are clearly and carefully explained in early chapters as the author considers the theories of human origins in Asia and the significance of the fossils of anthropoid apes recovered from the Siwalik hills (the "God-Apes"). Thereafter the text carries the story of human life on the subcontinent through distinct cultural periods from the Paleolithic to the Iron Age.Over the course of the book Kenneth A. R. Kennedy demonstrates that South Asian paleoanthropology has been formed by two intellectual forces: Western scientific traditions and native Vedic traditions. The interactions of Western and South Asian scholars have produced a unique approach to the study of ancient populations in this part of the world.No other book exists today on this subject, and God-Apes and Fossil Men: Paleoanthro-pology of South Asia serves as a model for future studies of ancient peoples and places.Kenneth A. R. Kennedy is Professor of Ecology, Anthropology, and Asian Studies in the Division of Biological Sciences, Cornell University. He has over thirty-five years of field and laboratory research in India, Pakistan, Sri Lanka, and the borderlands.

Settlement and Unsettlement in Early America

Settlement and Unsettlement in Early America

Kenneth A. Lockridge

Cambridge University Press
2003
pokkari
In this synthesis of recent work on early America, Kenneth Lockridge portrays a society divided against itself and unable to arrive at a generally acceptable basis for political order. The special circumstances of American life eroded the foundations of social and political stability, and continued to do so until long after the Revolution. The original stream of emigration deposited in the New World a great many people unwilling to accept any person, principle, or institution as a legitimate source of authority. The claims of would-be American gentlemen were subjected to unyielding scrutiny. Rejecting all claims to higher social, political, and religious authority. A highly mobile populace kept its distance from putative hierarchs by venturing again and again beyond the perimeters of settled social institutions. This recurring process of settlement and unsettlement encouraged an active scepticism regarding all pretensions to hierarchy, and it reaffirmed a commitment to local authorities, locally legitimated.

Local Environmental Struggles

Local Environmental Struggles

Kenneth A. Gould; Allan Schnaiberg; Adam S. Weinberg

Cambridge University Press
1996
sidottu
In recent years, environmentalism in the US has increasingly emerged at the community level, focusing on local ecological problems. Correspondingly, the American environmental movement has exhorted its supporters to 'think globally' but 'act locally'. The authors examine this modern environmental mantra by analysing the opportunities and constraints on local environmental action posed by economic and political structures at all levels. The difficulties involved in local activism are explored in three case studies - a wetlands protection project, water pollution of the Great Lakes, and consumer waste recycling. The final chapter then reflects on the challenges facing citizen-worker movements in each case study, and concludes that, despite the inherent difficulties, any successful attempt at mobilisation must have a local component.

Democracy and Coercive Diplomacy

Democracy and Coercive Diplomacy

Kenneth A. Schultz

Cambridge University Press
2001
sidottu
In this book, first published in 2001, Kenneth Schultz explores the effects of democratic politics on the use and success of coercive diplomacy. He argues that open political competition between the government and opposition parties influences the decision to use threats in international crises, how rival states interpret those threats, and whether or not crises can be settled short of war. The relative transparency of their political processes means that, while democratic governments cannot easily conceal domestic constraints against using force, they can also credibly demonstrate resolve when their threats enjoy strong domestic support. As a result, compared to their non-democratic counterparts, democracies are more selective about making threats, but those they do make are more likely to be successful - that is, to gain a favorable outcome without resort to war. Schultz develops his argument through a series of game-theoretic models and tests the resulting hypothesis using both statistical analyses and historical case studies.

There's an Elephant in Our School

There's an Elephant in Our School

Kenneth A Scott

Kenneth Scott
2020
sidottu
Is there an Elephant in your school? The belief of those in positions of power that they can improve student achievement with the stroke of a pen constitutes the pathway by which herds of elephants find their way into our local boardrooms, district offices, and classrooms. Elephants represent the programs and priorities initiated by education administrators to increase student achievement and graduation rates in response to such dictates. Such initiatives often seem counter to what teachers know to be in the best long-term interest of their students. While an Elephant can represent any number of such short-sighted initiatives, "The Elephant in our School" really represents the culture that has emerged within our schools where critical skills such as effective communication, collaboration, work-ethic and creativity take a back seat to easily measured and increasingly irrelevant short-term measures of student performance.

The Reality Between

The Reality Between

Kenneth a Lucas

iUniverse
2004
pokkari
In "The Reality Between, author Ken Lucas takes up where Elisabeth Kü bler-Ross left off. Lucas elegantly makes the case that although psychotherapists have limited the use of Kü bler-Ross's "Five Stages of Grief" to physical death, patients can be taught to see anger, depression, and even addiction in their own grief context. "The Reality Between shows how therapists can train themselves to hear the dozens of grief states their patients are experiencing at every single moment! Most psychotherapists fail to see their patients drowning in grief. Anger and depression are grief stages, not simply "stressors" or stand-alone issues. Most people die unhappily in the middle of Kü bler-Ross's grief stages. As humans, we have a duty to become just as fluid and dynamic as the ever-changing world around us. Placing grief into a much larger, more fundamental Eastern context is a must for every psychotherapist.

Economic Discrimination and Political Exchange

Economic Discrimination and Political Exchange

Kenneth A. Oye

Princeton University Press
1993
pokkari
Did bilateral and regional bargaining choke off international commerce and finance in the 1930s and prolong the Great Depression? Is the open world economic system now being placed at risk by explicitly discriminatory practices that erode respect for the GATT, the IMF, and the IBRD? Most political economists would answer in the affirmative, warning that bilateral and regional preferences are at best inefficient and at worst catastrophic. By contrast, Kenneth Oye shows how economic discrimination can foster international economic openness by facilitating political exchange.

Cooperation under Anarchy

Cooperation under Anarchy

Kenneth A. Oye

Princeton University Press
1986
pokkari
This path-breaking book offers fresh insights into a perennial problem. At times, the absence of centralized international authority precludes attainment of common goals. Yet, at other times, nations realize mutual interests through cooperation under anarchy. Drawing on a diverse set of historical cases in security and economic affairs, the contributors to this special issue of World Politics not only provide a unified explanation of the incidence of cooperation and conflict, but also suggest strategies to promote the emergence of cooperation.

The Clowns Are in Charge of the Circus

The Clowns Are in Charge of the Circus

Kenneth A Scott

Kenneth Scott
2020
sidottu
This book was written as a guide to help you determine if clowns have taken control of your circus. If those who are making decisions are not accountable for the results of their decisions; if the principles of your organization are routinely susceptible to short term goals or the slightest criticism; if there exists a general lack of regard and appreciation for the thoughts and opinions of those closest to the actual work of the organization; or if your performance is measured by someone that does not have a clue about what you do; then it is a good chance that clowns have taken control of your circus.The ideas contained within the text emerged from personal experience as a education administrator and human resource professional. Inspiration for many of the quotes were drawn from the book of Proverbs. The book offers an account of how the nature of "clowns" have not changed over the centuries. leaders

Interdisciplinary Interpretation

Interdisciplinary Interpretation

Kenneth A. Reynhout

Lexington Books
2013
sidottu
The past fifty years has seen the emergence of an energetic dialogue between religion and the natural sciences that has contributed to a growing desire for interdisciplinarity among many constructive theologians. However, some have also resisted this trend, in part because it seems that the price one must pay for such engagement is much too high. Interdisciplinary work appears overly abstract and methodologically restrictive, with little room for systematic theologians self-consciously operating within a particular historical tradition. In Interdisciplinary Interpretation: Paul Ricoeur and the Hermeneutics of Theology and Science, Kenneth A. Reynhout seeks to address this concern by constructing an alternative understanding of interdisciplinary theology based on the hermeneutical thought of Paul Ricoeur, generally recognized as one of the most interdisciplinary philosophers of the twentieth century. Appealing to Ricoeur’s view of interpretation as the dialectical process of understanding through explanation, Reynhout argues that theology’s engagement with the natural sciences is fundamentally hermeneutical in character. As such, interdisciplinary theologians can faithfully borrow meaning from the sciences through a process of “interdisciplinary interpretation,” a process that can honestly attend to the legitimate challenges posed by the natural sciences without automatically requiring the evacuation of theological norms and convictions. Reynhout’s creative appropriation of Ricoeur’s hermeneutics succeeds in providing a novel interdisciplinary vision, not only for theology but also for interdisciplinary work in general.

The Church in Anglican Theology

The Church in Anglican Theology

Kenneth A. Locke

Ashgate Publishing Limited
2009
sidottu
This book is the first systematic attempt to describe a coherent and comprehensive Anglican understanding of Church. Rather than focusing on one school of thought, Dr Locke unites under one ecclesiological umbrella the seemingly disparate views that have shaped Anglican reflections on Church. He does so by exploring three central historical developments: (1) the influence of Protestantism; (2) the Anglican defence of episcopacy; and (3) the development of the Anglican practice of authority. Dr Locke demonstrates how the interaction of these three historical influences laid the foundations of an Anglican understanding of Church that continues to guide and shape Anglican identity. He shows how this understanding of Church has shaped recent Anglican ecumenical dialogues with Reformed, Lutheran, Orthodox and Roman Catholic Churches. Drawing on the principle that dialogue with those who are different can lead to greater self-understanding and self-realization, Dr Locke demonstrates that Anglican self-identity rests on firmer ecclesiological foundations than is sometimes supposed.

Calculated Risks

Calculated Risks

Kenneth A. Rogers; Marvin G. Kingsley

Ashgate Publishing Limited
2007
sidottu
This well-documented study examines one of the increasingly pressing problems for US homeland security: the storage and management of radioactive waste. Despite pressing homeland security and energy security concerns associated with highly radioactive waste, political considerations have prevented policy makers from adopting adequate long-term solutions to the problem. This book explores nuclear waste problems through the broader lens of federal, state and local government and the resultant constraints on policy that emerge within the American political system. Presenting specific case studies to highlight the deficiencies in current policy and planning as well as the possibility of terrorist activity, it is highly suited to courses on security studies and environmental politics.
