Overview: Written by experts, Gives a modern approach, Comprehensive in ScopeWorries about the moral standard of younger generations are of all ages. The older generation tends to believe that the moral education of young people deserves special attention, because their moral development does not reach the level adults hope for. This observation does not mean that the older generation is necessarily wrong, but what it indisputably does show is that they attach high importance to morality and moral education. But, what characterises a moral person? What influences people to behave morally? What

Overview: Can insurance be used as a means to obtain compliance withenvironmental policy? Answering this question requires examination ofa broad mosaic of academic issues, including current systems availablefor providing compensation and deterrence, use of contracts (includinginsurance) as substitutes for tort law, limitations of regulatorypolicy-making by government agencies, pre-conditions for creation ofinsurance products, and market mechanisms necessary for insurance tobe purchased or sold. The purpose of .Managing Environmental Risk..Through Insurance. is to highlight the potential role t

Overview: The foundation of linear systems theory goes back to Newton and has been followed over the years by many improvements such as linear operator theory, Laplace Transformation etc. After the World War II, feedback control theory has shown a rapid development, and standard elegant analysis and synthesis techniques have been discovered by control system workers, such as root-locus (Evans) and frequency response methods (Nyquist, Bode). These permitted a fast and efficient analysis of simple-loop control systems, but in their original "paper-and-pencil" form were not appropriate for multip

Overview: Focuses on the role, influence, and value of music for family members and particularly for mothers.Makes women‘s emotional, physical, and cognitive labor in the process of musically (and otherwise) nu.This book examines how gender and class discourses shape ‘musical mothering‘ by incorporating knowledges from sociology, psychology, cultural studies, and education. Chapters detail the fundamental and functional role that mothers play in children‘s musical development alongside children‘s agency in influencing familial experiences. Music plays an essential role in the lives of mothers

Overview: Dramatic shortfalls in crop production in various regions of the world have led some people to question the relatively inefficient use of cereal grains for feeding meat animals instead of their direct use for human food. There is no doubt, however, that meat offers a nutritionally valuable, attractive and widely accepted food, the world demand for which increases daily. Thus it is not enough simply to condemn the consumption of meat as an irresponsible extravagance; rather it is preferable to examine how the demand for meat can be met most efficiently and effectively, which requires
