Black Working Wives
"Bart Landry's Black Working Wives is a very comprehensive account of the family revolution in America. I learned a great deal reading this thoughtful book. Landry’s discussion of the dual career marriages of black women decades before the feminist revolution, and the lessons they provide not only for understanding dynamic changes in American families but also for anticipating the future of the modern two-career family, is insightful and persuasive."—William Julius Wilson, author of The Bridge over the Racial Divide "Bart Landry's Black Working Wives is a perceptive analysis that connects the historical circumstances of Black women to the transformation of modern American family structur...
The Architecture of the Mind
Providing a comprehensive development and defense of one of the guiding assumptions of evolutionary psychology: that the human mind is composed of a large number of semi-independent modules, this book is a useful reading for those with an interest in the nature and organisation of the mind.
The Seismogenic Zone of Subduction Thrust Faults
Subduction zones, one of the three types of plate boundaries, return Earth's surface to its deep interior. Because subduction zones are gently inclined at shallow depths and depress Earth's temperature gradient, they have the largest seismogenic area of any plate boundary. Consequently, subduction zones generate Earth's largest earthquakes and most destructive tsunamis. As tragically demonstrated by the Sumatra earthquake and tsunami of December 2004, these events often impact densely populated coastal areas and cause large numbers of fatalities. While scientists have a general understanding of the seismogenic zone, many critical details remain obscure. This volume attempts to answer such fu...
Are You Being Served?
This publication presents tools and techniques for measuring service delivery in health and education and people's experiences from the field in deploying these methods. It begins by providing an introduction to the different methodological tools available for evaluating the performance of the health and education sectors. Country specific experiences are then explored to highlight lessons on the challenges, advantages and disadvantages of using different techniques to measure quality in a variety of different contexts and of using the resulting data to affect change. This book is a valuable resource for those who seek to enhance capacity for the effective measurement of service delivery in order to improve accountability and governance and enhance the quality of service delivery in developing countries.
NHERI 2015-2025: A Decade of Discovery in Natural Hazards Engineering
Natural hazards such as earthquakes, landslides, windstorms, wildfires, tsunamis and storm surge are all occurring with increased frequency and intensity. These events often cause significant disruptions to our built environment consisting of buildings, roads, bridges, parks, streets, and systems that provide transportation, water, power, and more, bringing to the forefront our need for solutions. In the last three years, the U.S. experienced an average of 20 billion-dollar disasters per year, up from 12.8 billion- ollar disasters per year in the 2010s and 6.7 billion-dollar disasters per year in the 2000s (NOAA). Research in natural hazards engineering aims to develop tools and methods that...
