Product Description
School Design Henry Sanoff Educators often overlook the positive impact of changing the environment of the school itself when considering how to improve the quality of education. School Design shows how to create more effective schools through a design process that involves teachers, students, parents, administrators, and architects. It reveals how to create school environments that develop the whole child, instill enthusiasm for learning, and encourage positive social relationships. Readers discover how to integrate design research, design participation, and design development to optimize school settings. Numerous case studies identify different techniques for increasing participation through the building design approach. These examples provide strategies for involving teachers, parents, and others in decision making. Included are real-life designs for early childhood, middle, high, and higher education environments. Detailed, practical methods show how to:

• Link behavioral objectives to spatial needs
• Achieve spatial efficacy without compromising education
• Match children’s developmental needs to facility requirements
• Promote greater variety in physical facilities to accommodate various teaching and learning styles
• Gain more valuable feedback from teachers, parents, students, and local citizens on building performance

Conventional parallel computational architectures
Although this reference does not discuss physiological plausible computation models, it provides a fairly easy to read yet serious introduction to conventional parallel computation architectures.

Its a book worth reading by really interested candidates.
The person who has gone through the book thouroughly need not to say that its worth having such a excellent book.The problems given at the end of each chapter dwell oneself into the deeper understanding of the subject andit would have been nice if you could make the Solutions Manual available oninternet. ...

Product Description
A beautifully illustrated textbook of the history, theory and current state of international organizations from the global UN system to the regional bodies and thousands of NGOs which increasingly oversee aspects of international affairs and the world’s transition to a new global order.This new and timely textbook recounts the historical and theoretical development of the international system in a lively analysis of the critical role of international organizations for the development of global governance. It examines the full spectrum of international organizations--regional and global intergovernmental, nongovernmental, and transnational organizations--and clarifies the important position that international organizations have in the emerging global system. James Muldoon skillfully guides the uninitiated through the tangled world of international organizations, pointing out along the way important events and key factors which have shaped their creation and evolution, and makes the esoteric subject of international organizations accessible and very engaging for a new generation of students and scholars.In our world of massive and rapid change, international organizations are at the vanguard of a worldwide movement to build a new world order based on the principles of global governance. The international system established in the wake of World War II is coming undone, argues James Muldoon, and the cornerstones of 20th century international relations--the Westphalian nation-state system, the Wilsonian principles of collective security and self-determination, and the faith in technological and scientific progress--are being undermined by the forces of globalization and fragmentation that characterize the post-Cold War world. At center stage of this dramatic transition to a new global order is a throng of international organizations which must contend with the increasing disarray of international relations and still manage the many latent and new problems on the international agenda. The Architecture of Global Governance recounts the history and theoretical underpinnings of international organizations in a lively analysis of the particular role of international organizations in the development of today’s international system and the global system of the future. Muldoon skillfully guides the uninitiated through the tangled world of international organizations, pointing out along the way important events and key factors which have shaped their creation and evolution. This new and timely textbook makes the esoteric subject of international organizations accessible and very engaging for a new generation of students and scholars. Appraising the dynamics of systemic transformation and the challenges posed by expanding global interdependence, The Architecture of Global Governance puts international organizations in their proper context and restores the study of international organizations as a vibrant and critical field of contemporary international relations. ...
