A recent survey shows 7 out of 10 workers 45 years or older plan to working during their retirement years.......2006-10-16

A recent survey shows 7 out of 10 workers 45 years or older plan to working during their retirement years, assuring that by 2010, over half American workers will be older than 55. This will radically change the workplace: and THE NEW WORKPLACE charts these predicted changes, from how to work past retirement years to understanding the many work options baby boomers will enjoy.

Book Description

Members of Congress and interest groups fiercely struggle over the seemingly unimportant procedural details of legislation such as the provisions for judicial review. Charles R. Shipan, in a study based on a detailed consideration of congressional debates over communications legislation, argues that the actors realize that current procedural choices will structure future alternatives and thus are willing to expend considerable resources over these issues. Using a rational choice framework, Shipan argues that provisions for judicial review, such as the specification of which agency actions are reviewable and which courts have review authority, are among the issues over which interested parties struggle because these issues will significantly affect the outcome of important future court action.

Shipan tests his theory in a detailed exploration of the development of communications legislation during the 1920s and 1930s. This is a rich period in which to study the importance of judicial review provisions, for, while most political actors accepted the courts as part of the regulatory process, the concept of assigning broad decision-making powers to agencies was new and controversial. In addition, regulation of radio was both an important issue and one fraught with uncertainty, thus inducing members of Congress and interest groups to attempt to plan ahead for future actions. Shipan examines the motivations, actions, and choices of both interest groups and members of Congress. He then looks at the impact of the choices made on later court action in the communications legislation.

This book will appeal to political scientists and legal scholars interested in the politics of judicial review, the courts, legislative politics, and communication policy.

Charles R. Shipan is Assistant Professor of Political Science, University of Iowa, and is a Robert Woods Johnson Fellow, University of Michigan.

Book Description

Ocean Biogeochemical Dynamics provides a broad theoretical framework upon which graduate students and upper-level undergraduates can formulate an understanding of the processes that control the mean concentration and distribution of biologically utilized elements and compounds in the ocean. Though it is written as a textbook, it will also be of interest to more advanced scientists as a wide-ranging synthesis of our present understanding of ocean biogeochemical processes.

The first two chapters of the book provide an introductory overview of biogeochemical and physical oceanography. The next four chapters concentrate on processes at the air-sea interface, the production of organic matter in the upper ocean, the remineralization of organic matter in the water column, and the processing of organic matter in the sediments. The focus of these chapters is on analyzing the cycles of organic carbon, oxygen, and nutrients.

The next three chapters round out the authors' coverage of ocean biogeochemical cycles with discussions of silica, dissolved inorganic carbon and alkalinity, and CaCO ₃. The final chapter discusses applications of ocean biogeochemistry to our understanding of the role of the ocean carbon cycle in interannual to decadal variability, paleoclimatology, and the anthropogenic carbon budget. The problem sets included at the end of each chapter encourage students to ask critical questions in this exciting new field. While much of the approach is mathematical, the math is at a level that should be accessible to students with a year or two of college level mathematics and/or physics.

Customer Reviews:

great textbook for oceanography students.......2007-03-10

This book will introduce you to the basics and important concepts of biogeochemical oceanography. It's a good reference book and I think it will be helpful for graduate students to prepare for their qualification exams.

Book Description

Statistical evaluations of exploration data are the basis for decisions to be made at various stages of an exploration project. In contrast to other geostatistical books, Statistical Evaluations in Exploration for Mineral Deposits focuses not only on theory, but examples are also given, frequently originating from experience in mineral exploration by the author who worked worldwide for a mining company. Together with its companion volume, Economic Evaluations in Exploration, the book illustrates methods used in exploration campaigns and mining activities. It is intended as a vademecum for geologists who are forced to make quick decisions regarding an exploration project. It also addresses scientists and students involved in teaching or in mineral economic evaluations, recommendations or decisions.

Completely revised and updated, this Directory now includes biographies of members of the executive branch who have served since 1977. There are more than 20% more biographies in this work than in the last edition. Where appropriate, older entries have been updated. The Directory contains career biographies of all cabinet heads, as well as of presidents, vice-presidents, and presidents of the Continental Congress. All individuals confirmed in office by the Senate have been included. Each biography includes the most significant dates in the subject's life, family and other personal information, religious affiliation where available, service prior to and after cabinet duty, and place of death and interment. In addition, each biography contains a short bibliographic reference to important primary and secondary works to be consulted for additional information. Indexes, consisting of tables to enable the researcher to more easily relate the individual to his times and place and service, are included.

Researchers in American political history who have adequate library facilities at their disposal may discover basic information about most of them without too much difficulty. For those who wish to make a study of a particular department or administration, the effort may be tedious and time-consuming. It is for individuals such as these, as well as for the general student of political history, that this volume has been compiled and written.

Book Description

In recent years, many members of the intellectual community have embraced a radical relativism regarding knowledge in general and scientific knowledge in particular, holding that Kuhn, Quine, and Feyerabend have knocked the traditional picture of scientific knowledge into a cocked hat. Is philosophy of science, or mistaken impressions of it, responsible for the rise of relativism? In this book, Laudan offers a trenchant, wide-ranging critique of cognitive relativism and a thorough introduction to major issues in the philosophy of knowledge.

A Relativist Roast.......2007-07-26

This very esoteric book is obviously not for the layperson, so it should be evaluated for how well it connects with its intended audience - philosophers of science and students thereof. The first segment of this audience will be inspired (positively or negatively), but the second segment will not. Here Larry Laudan has advanced the relativist school of the philosophy of science via a rather unique use of the old Greek dialogue, with a fictional discussion among four characters that are composites of various influential philosophers. Here the conversationalists are Pragmatist, Positivist, Realist, and Relativist in a discussion at a fanciful conference on epistemic relativism and scientific knowledge. Granted, this method is considerably effective in advancing how the four schools of thought would approach the issue. But alas, such is the state of modern philosophy that even fictional philosophers are dry and pedantic. It's a very odd fantasy in which the characters argue for dozens of pages over pathologically obsessive theoretical minutiae and the author makes no attempt at connecting with the outside world. Here the fictional philosophers, just like many real philosophers, fail to make any impact with the people they study or those they claim to teach. Consequently, despite his rather unique writing method it is difficult to determine what point Laudan is trying to make about his school of relativism, because the book's conversationalists reach no conclusions and merely blame each other for failing to have all the answers about the state of human knowledge. Once again, just like real philosophers, who can do little more than argue for years about things that the real world left behind long ago. [~doomsdayer520~]

Great introduction to modern epistemology.......2003-01-20

The book is structured as a transcript of a debate between philosophers attending a symposium on the role of science and relativism; each represents one of the major epistemic positions -- logical positivism, pragmatism, realism, and relativism. They don't come to a unified conclusion, of course -- what else would you expect from philosophers? -- but in the process of the discussion, a lot of core issues in modern epistemology are covered in a way easily accessible to a layman. The discussion is generally framed in terms of relativistic position on various epistemic issues, and each opposing philosophical scheme's counter to such.

This book is the best introduction to modern epistemology that I have ever read. It is relatively small, which is a blessing, even though the writing is simple as far as philosophical texts go; and it is deep enough to both inform, and stimulate further meaningful inquiry. I would stongly recommend this book to anyone approaching epistemology and philosophy of science for the first time.
