Although comprehensive and ecological approaches to early childhood prevention are commonly advocated, there are few examples of long-term follow-up of such programs. In this monograph, we investigate the medium- and longterm effects of an ecological, community-based prevention project for primary school children and families living in three economically disadvantaged neighborhoods in Ontario, Canada. The Better Beginnings, Better Futures (BBBF) project is one of the most ambitious Canadian research projects on the long-term impacts of early childhood prevention programming to date.

The US Supreme Court is an institution that operates almost totally behind closed doors. This book opens those doors by providing a comprehensive look at the justices, procedures, cases, and issues over the institution’s more than 200-year history. The Court is a legal institution born from a highly politicized process. Modern justices time their departures to coincide with favorable administrations and the confirmation process has become a highly-charged political spectacle played out on television and in the national press. Throughout its history, the Court has been at the center of the most important issues facing the nation: federalism, separation of powers, war, slavery, civil rights, and civil liberties. Through it all, the Court has generally, though not always, reflected the broad views of the American people as the justices decide the most vexing issues of the day. The Historical Dictionary of the U.S. Supreme Court covers its history through a chronology, an introductory essay, appendixes, and an extensive bibliography. The dictionary section has over 700 cross-referenced entries on every justice, major case, issue, and process that comprises the Court’s work. This book is an excellent access point for students, researchers, and anyone wanting to know more about the Supreme Court.

Sowohl fur Sozialabgaben (Renten-, Kranken-, Arbeitslosen- und Pflegeversicherung, sowie die Umlagen U1 und U2, ebenso Unfallversicherung) als auch bei Steuern gelten teilweise andere Regelungen fur Selbstandige als fur Arbeitnehmer. Dieses Buch untersucht, ob sie im Ergebnis zur gleichen Abgabenbelastung fuhren. Dabei wird berucksichtigt, dass teilweise nicht nur die Abgaben, sondern auch die Leistungen der Sozialversicherungen bei Selbstandigen anders sind als bei Arbeitnehmern. Es zeigt sich, dass teilweise erhebliche Belastungsunterschiede bestehen. Ziel der im Buch vorgestellten Reformvorschlage ist es, diese Belastungsunterschiede abzubauen. Dazu werden zunachst die Grunde untersucht, aus denen Selbstandige und Arbeitnehmer bislang unterschiedlich behandelt werden. Ferner werden die wesentlichen Ursachen fur Belastungsunterschiede in Deutschland isoliert und anschliessend unter Berucksichtigung ausgewahlter auslandischer Beispiele (Niederlande, OEsterreich, Belgien und Schweiz) Reformmassnahmen ausgearbeitet.

As software systems become increasingly large and complex, the need increases to predict and control the effects of software changes. This book captures the latest information on the science and art of determining what software parts affect each other. It is a handy one-volume source of useful information about software change impact analysis techniques and technical results. The book frames the field, focuses attention, and tempers expectations. The book provides a battery of ideas for doing impact analysis better. The reader will gain a healthy respect for the strengths and limitations of impact analysis technology and a solid background that will provide valuable for years to come. The book identifies key impact analysis definitions and themes and illustrates those themes through a collection of representative papers. It includes reports on software source code dependency analysis and software traceability analysis and proposes how results from both areas can more effectively support impact analysis in software engineering repositories. It also describes why impact representation and determination techniques are at the heart of both source dependency analysis and traceability analysis. The papers provide fundamental information of enduring value and were selected by how well they illustrate the important themes and how well they equip the reader with a solid understanding for tackling impact analysis problems.

Based on interviews with eleven prominent education professionals, this work seeks public recognition of an often overlooked, yet vitally important, professional in the public school system: the school business administrator. The interviewees discuss the reasons they chose their profession, how they prepared for it, and their responsibilities behind the scenes of public education. Their thoughts about public education and the administrator's role in providing it reveal rare insight into managing the resources for the education of our nation's children.
