Overview: "Barry" is a seventeen-year-old single white male. He has blond hair and blue eyes, weighs 150 pounds, and is five feet eleven inches tall. He was arrested in California at age sixteen for assault and robbery. Because he was underage he was initially segregated in a one-man cell while in county jail. Then, upon admission to a state prison recep­ tion and classification facility, he was housed in a special dormitory for young, inexperienced inmates who would be at risk within the general population. Upon completion of his screening Barry‘s counselor recommended that he be sent to a pe

Overview: Focuses on social justice as a key factor of democratic social policies.Illustrates global issues such as migration, integration, and recognition of immigrants‘ skills and educational level.Combines dThis is an open access book which focuses on different aspects of education, employment, and successful integration of migrants in three countries: Norway, Sweden, and Switzerland. The chapters in this book reflect on these issues from micro, meso and macro perspectives; some are based on interviews with migrants and people who work with them, others on documents and literature about mig

Overview: Presents major works by Rainer Lepsius for the first time in English language.Offers new insights into the work of Max Weber and institutional theory.Provides a sound analytical understanding of the sThis book presents a collection of essays on institutional theory written by the German sociologist and Weber-expert M. Rainer Lepsius. Based on Weber’s work, the author develops concepts of institutional theory, which he subsequently applies to topics such as National Socialism, democratization processes, German unification, and the institutionalization of the European Union. By showing

Overview: This book is primarily about the methodological questions involved in attempts to understand two of the most peculiar phenomena in physics, both occurring at the lowest of temperatures. Superconductivity (the disappearance of electrical resistance) and superfluidity (the total absence of viscosity in liquid helium) are not merely peculiar in their own right. Being the only macroscopic quantum phenomena they also manifest a sudden and dramatic change even in those properties which have been amply used within the classical framework and which were thought to be fully understood after t

Overview: Kompakt und verständlich:.Medienpädagogik aus Sicht der KommunikationswissenschaftDieses Buch führt ein in das interdisziplinäre Feld der Medienpädagogik. Es stellt die Dimensionen, Modelle und Theorien vor, welche empirischen Studien und angewandten Projekten zugrunde liegen. Die Entwicklung der Medienpädagogik wird historisch und im internationalen Vergleich aufgezeigt. Mediensozialisation, Medienerziehung und Mediendidaktik werden miteinander in Verbindung gebracht. Medienpädagogische Forschung und die Konsequenzen für Ausbildung und pädagogische Praxis werden diskutiert. Das Lehr

Overview: Explores the interplay between theoretical prediction and experimental discovery.Rich in useful figures and references.Discusses the historical evolution of the role of theory in materials scienceThis book presents nanomaterials as predicted by computational modelling and numerical simulation tools, and confirmed by modern experimental techniques. It begins by summarizing basic theoretical methods, then giving both a theoretical and experimental treatment of how alkali metal clusters develop into nanostructures, as influenced by the cluster‘s "magic number" of atoms. The book continu
