A Mother's Job The History of Day Care 1890-1960
Americans today live with conflicting ideas about day care. We criticize mothers who choose not to stay at home, but we pressure women on welfare to leave their children behind. We recognize the benefits of early childhood education, but do not provide it as a public right until children enter kindergarten. Our children are priceless, but we pay minimum wages to the overwhelmingly female workforce which cares for them. We are not really sure if day care is detrimental or beneficial for children, or if mothers should really be in the workforce. To better understand how we have arrived at these present-day dilemmas, Elizabeth Rose argues, we need to explore day care's past. A Mother's Job is the first book to offer such an exploration. In this case study of Philadelphia, Rose examines the different meanings of day care for families and providers from the late nineteenth century through the postwar prosperity of the 1950s. Drawing on richly detailed records created by social workers, she explores changing attitudes about motherhood, charity, and children's needs. - Category: Books Reading - New Item: 461410072

Mobile Communications
The rapid growth and convergence of mobile communications has led to a need for new techniques and solutions and a demand for knowledgeable communication professionals who have a firm grasp of the background theory and technologies and who also understand the future trends and possibilities within the field. In this book Jochen Schiller draws on extensive experience to present an essential grounding in mobile communications, explaining current developments in industry and research and providing a detailed technical background to the area. The book covers all of the important aspects of mobile and wireless communications from the Internet to signals, access protocols and cellular systems, all presented in a clear and structured way, with a focus on the crucial area of digital data transfer. The early chapters give a concise overview of mobile communications applications, history and market, and provide a foundation in wireless communication, wireless transmission and Medium Access Control. The book goes on to devote a chapter to every of the 5 different groups of wireless network technologies: telecommunications systems, satellite systems, broadcast systems, wireless LAN and wireless ATM. The final chapters on the network layer and transport layer address problems and provide solutions using well-known Internet protocols such as TCP/IP within a mobile environment, concluding with a focus on WWW and Wireless Application Protocol (WAP). If you are a professional networking engineer or manager wanting to know how mobility will affect applications, security and networks, this book will be an invaluable resource. Mobile Communications will enable you to: • recognise and understand the future trends in networking • understand design decisions • follow through paths of migration from fixed networks towards mixed fixed/mobile networks Features: • easy access to specific topics through self-contained chapters • quick reference and learning tools: summary of every chapter; signposted references to relevant standards, organizations and research work; end of chapter questions for self-testing/study; appendix of acronyms • wide range of examples, applications scenarios and case studies • accompanying web site contains up-to-date developments and links to related mobile and wireless communications sites, figures and PowerPoint™ slides • covers digital systems such as CDMA, GSM, and DECT • covers up-to-date technologies in all areas of mobile communications with extensive examples and special features: telecommunications (GSM and UMTS); broadcast (DAB); wireless LANs (IEEE 802.11, HIPERLAN and Bluetooth); wireless ATM (QoS) and Internet Protocols (IP and TCP) 0201398362B04062001 - Category: Books Reading - New Item: 461410834

Selling War The British Propaganda Campaign Against American 'Neutrality' in World War II
'British propaganda brought America to the brink of war, and left it to the Japanese and Hitler to finish the job'. So concludes Nicholas Cull in this absorbing study of how the United States was transformed from isolation to belligerence in the years before the attack on Pearl Harbor. From the moment it realized that all was lost without American aid, the British Government employed a host of persuasive tactics to draw the U.S. to its rescue. With the help of talents as varied as those of matinee idol Leslie Howard, Oxford philosopher Isaiah Berlin and society photographer Cecil Beaton, no section of America remained untouched and no methodfrom Secret Service intrigue to the publication of horrifying pictures of Nazi atrocities - remained untried. The British sought and won the support of key journalists and broadcasters, including Edward R. Murrow, Dorothy Thompson, and Walter Winchell: Hollywood film makers also played a willing part. Cull details these and other propaganda activities, covering the entire range of the British effort. A fascinating story of how a foreign country promoted America's involvement in its greatest war, Selling War will appeal to all those interested in the modern cultural and political history of Britain and the United States. - Category: Books Reading - New Item: 461513671

Elizabeth I The Competition for Representation
The Competition for Representation emphasizes Elizabeth's self-creation and the process of contestation that this construction necessitated. It differs significantly from the wealth of material available on Elizabeth because instead of assuming either that Elizabeth was in full control of how she was represented or that she was controlled by the special-interest group surrounding her, my focus is the very issue of her agency. That is, I concentrate on Elizabeth's actions and words (as nearly as they can be determined) in order to ascertain the conscious and unconscious strategies through which she worked to created an identity beyond accepted gender definitions. - Category: Books Reading - New Item: 461513683

A Commentary on Horace's Epodes
This is by far the most detailed commentary yet on Horace's Epodes. The line-by-line commentary on every epode is prefaced by a substantial interpretative essay which offers a reading of that poem and synthesises existing scholarship. These essays, the first of their kind, will provide essential critical orientation to undergraduates approaching the Epode-book for the first time. - Books Reading - New - 461720795

Universities and Intellectual Property Ownership and Exploitation
The vital role played by universities in producing creative and innovative products (protected by intellectual property) is becoming increasingly recognized both by policy makers and by the universities themselves. The universities are now often looking to tighten up their policies on intellectual property so as to maximize revenue, for instance through spin-off companies; but this arguably restricts the free flow of knowledge and scientific progress. The authors look in detail at this highly topical subject, both from a policy and a practical legal point of view, drawing upon research covering universities in a wide-range of countries including the UK, Australia, Japan, Europe and North America. - Books Reading - New - 461410364

The Rise of Conservation in South Africa Settlers Livestock and the Environment 1770-1950
This is a major and innovative contribution to the environmental history of settler societies and of South Africa. The Cape, like Australia, became a major exporter of wool. Vast numbers of sheep flooded its semi-arid plains and rapidly transformed its fragile natural pastures. This book analyses the development of conservationalist ideas over the long term in South Africa as a response to these problems. - Books Reading - New - 461514146
