Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Doctor Samantha Turner serves as the medical examiner for the city of Sheridan, Wyoming, and it seems that she's getting a bit too much work lately. After all, the M.E.'s job isn't full time and Sam does have other things to do. Unfortunately, one of them is dealing with Derek Turner, her late husband's son, a man who claims to be a foreign correspondent and who makes it clear that Sam is "my father's second wife, not my stepmother."" "Someone in Washington wants information about Sam's latest corpse, a woman who had been part of the Witness Protection Program, and they figure Derek can get what's needed from Sam without any trouble. Which just goes to show you that it doesn't pay to underestimate her." "After all, even though the police refuse to see a pattern in the murders that are occurring on the holidays, Sam knows better. She even knows which one is a copycat killing. The only one who will listen is Derek, and he has his own agenda. That leaves the doctor with one move - and if things don't play out just right, that move is a sacrifice."--BOOK JACKET.Title Summary field provided by Blackwell North America, Inc.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This first full-scale history of the development of the American suburb examines how "the good life" in America came to be equated with the a home of one's own surrounded by a grassy yard and located far from the urban workplace. Integrating social history with economic and architectural analysis, and taking into account such factors as the availability of cheap land, inexpensive building methods, and rapid transportation, Kenneth Jackson chronicles the phenomenal growth of the American suburb from the middle of the 19th century to the present day. He treats communities in every section of the U.S. and compares American residential patterns with those of Japan and Europe. In conclusion, Jackson offers a controversial prediction: that the future of residential deconcentration will be very different from its past in both the U.S. and Europe.

Download or read book Coping With Rapid Growth In Rural Communities written by Bruce A. Weber and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2019-03-04 with total page 263 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book integrates the most current research findings on the economic, demographic, fiscal, and social consequences of rapid growth in rural communities and offers strategies that can be used to mitigate the often disruptive impact of that growth. While working extensively with government officials and citizens in rural communities, Drs. Weber and Howell became aware of the need for a compilation and synthesis of the research on rural growth; they subsequently invited scholars working in selected topic areas to contribute to that effort. The resulting papers were refined during a meeting sponsored by the Western Rural Development Center, edited, and brought together in this volume. Incorporating 1980 census data, the book outlines the spectrum of changes associated with rapid growth in rural areas, presents specific options for managing rapid growth, and suggests a model that communities can use for impact assessment and for monitoring the effectiveness of various management strategies.

Download or read book Migration in Britain written by Tony Fielding and published by Edward Elgar Publishing. This book was released on 2012 with total page 212 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 'This landmark book sets new standards in the analysis of internal migration in the UK. With a focus on the "drivers of migration", knowledge of economic, social, demographic, political, and environmental factors is advanced. Identifying the impacts of environmental change and future trends of migration, the book delivers impressive, original, up-to-date findings of UK internal migration. The book is an essential resource for students, scholars and practitioners grappling with the complexities of emergent and entrenched patterns and processes of migration.' Darren P. Smith, Loughborough University, UK 'Fielding's book on contemporary internal migration in Britain comprises a magisterial review of a complex topic. It moves very logically from the description of the migration patterns through discussion of the key drivers onto policy-oriented speculation about future developments in the light of alternative scenarios of economic, social and environmental change. The author has a refreshingly direct and authoritative style that puts his own personal stamp on the book, making for a compelling but also thought-provoking read.' Tony Champion, Newcastle University, UK 'Fielding provides us with a fascinating, authoritative and up-to-date picture of internal migration in the UK, together with a masterful synthesis of the explanations that underpin the spatial patterns of migration at regional and sub-regional scales. He exposes some of the paradoxes apparent in historical migration behaviour and he also speculates creatively on what might be the impacts of environmental vis à vis socio-economic drivers on internal migration in the future under different scenarios.' John Stillwell, University of Leeds, UK Those who need to migrate the most perhaps due to low paid or insecure jobs tend to actually migrate the least, while those who need to migrate the least for example those who have secure, well-paid jobs tend to actually migrate the most. This is one of the many paradoxes about internal migration in Britain that are explored in this topical and timely book by Tony Fielding. Migration in Britain takes a fresh look at the patterns of migration at both the regional and local levels and develops new theoretical frameworks and novel methods to explain these patterns. It anticipates British society and its internal migration flows fifty years hence in the absence of climate change, and comes to judgments about how and in what ways these migration flows might be affected by climate change. Developing new approaches to explain migration patterns, this book will appeal to academics, researchers, postgraduate and undergraduate students of population migration, as well as businesses concerned with housing and utilities. Anyone with a general interest in migration issues including the impacts of, and adaptation to, climate change, will find much to interest them in this insightful book.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The report presents findings from the 2018 revision of World Urbanization Prospects, which contains the latest estimates of the urban and rural populations or areas from 1950 to 2018 and projections to 2050, as well as estimates of population size from 1950 to 2018 and projections to 2030 for all urban agglomerations with 300,000 inhabitants or more in 2018. The world urban population is at an all-time high, and the share of urban dwellers, is projected to represent two thirds of the global population in 2050. Continued urbanization will bring new opportunities and challenges for sustainable development.

Download or read book The Changing American Countryside written by Emery N. Castle and published by . This book was released on 1995 with total page 592 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The literature on rural America, to the extent that it exists, has largely been written by urban-based scholars perpetuating out-of-date notions and stereotypes or by those who see little difference between rural and agricultural concerns. As a result, the real rural America remains much misunderstood, neglected, or ignored by scholars and policymakers alike. In response, Emery Castle offers The Changing American Countryside, a volume that will forever change how we look at this important subject. Castle brings together the writings of eminent scholars from several disciplines and varying backgrounds to take a fresh and comprehensive look at the "forgotten hinterlands." These authors examine the role of non-metropolitan people and places in the economic life of our nation and cover such diverse issues as poverty, industry, the environment, education, family, social problems, ethnicity, race, religion, gender, government, public policy, and regional diversity The authors are especially effective in demonstrating why rural America is so much more than just agriculture. It is in fact highly diverse, complex, and interdependent with urban America and the international market place. Most major rural problems, they contend, simply cannot be effectively addressed in isolation from their urban and international connections. To do so is misguided and even hazardous, when one-fourth of our population and ninety-seven per cent of our land area is rural. Together these writings not only provide a new and more realistic view of rural life and public policy, but also suggest how the field of rural studies can greatly enrich our understanding of national life.

Book excerpt: The Handbook of Urban Studies provides the first comprehensive, up-to-date account of the urban condition, relevant to a wide readership from academics to researchers and policymakers. It provides a theoretically and empirically informed account embracing all the different disciplines contributing to urban studies. Leading authors identify key issues and questions and future trends for further research and present their findings so that, where appropriate, they are relevant to the needs of policymakers. Using the city as a unifying structure, the Handbook provides an holistic appreciation of urban structure and change, and of the theories by which we understand the structure, development and changing character of cities.

This book was released on 2011-06-01 with total page 177 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This study analyzes strategic and programming issues arising from the emerging deconcentration and decentralization reforms in Cambodia and informs the debate on the pace and strategic direction of these reforms. The study looks at the evolving legal and regulatory framework pointing to the gaps and inconsistencies that need to be addressed for a coherent framework over time. The study elaborates on the large cast of complex, and sometimes competing, institutions and the challenges of setting up an equitable and transparent intergovernmental financing system. Evaluating the strengths and weaknesses of the government's 10-year national program, the study suggests some critical steps for successful implementation of the reforms, including the need to develop a clear reform policy framework, obtain better coordination among government agencies and between the government and development partners, clarify uncertainties in the assignment of functions between tiers of government, design a robust system on intergovernmental financing, and develop capacities to implement the reforms. The study also suggests some important considerations for ADB programming, including how to best support the deconcentration and decentralization reforms at the central, subnational, and sector levels.

Download or read book Decentralization of Education written by Ketleen Florestal and published by World Bank Publications. This book was released on 1997-01-01 with total page 52 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In practice, most education systems have both centralized and decentralized elements. Planners involved in a decentralizing reform must identify which components of the system are more appropriately managed at the central level and which at the local level. This book is intended to inform education policymakers, planners, and practitioners about international experience in the legal aspects of decentralizing basic education. It also provides a basic understanding of how laws and regulations can be used for education reform. For purposes of the discussion, decentralization is used to describe efforts to transfer decision making power in basic education from the administrative center of a country to authorities closer to users. The term is also used in a more technical sense to describe one of the many forms this type of reform can take, and in this sense it is contrasted with deconcentration and devolution as educational reforms. The first section examines the general legal aspects of decentralization, and the second looks more closely at decentralization laws and regulations. The third section is, in effect, a checklist of items that should be included in decentralization laws, and the fourth section provides a road map to help the planner prepare and implement the laws required for reform. Although an effort has been made to keep the discussion general enough for use in many countries, the analysis is based on the legal systems of the Western world or those that they inspired.
