A Cat in the Throat?
This playful discussion of English and French idioms seeks to examine some of the odd and curious ways that each language expresses its everyday emotions, situations, and events. At times, the two languages are perfectly in agreement regarding the best descriptive metaphor. But as often as not, they vary wildly, and the differences are frequently interesting, and often quite amusing. Where it was useful, we provide a brief history of the expressions, and show how their meanings have changed through the lifetimes of the idioms. As we note in the Preface, one hope for our study was to discover some clues as to what makes French French and English English!David Carney, Benoit Carré
The Pages of History
This volume is a collection of documents that have, in some critical way, shaped our world. Each is quite short, taking up no more than one or two pages. There are five general categories of documents: American Statesmen, Freedom and the Human Spirit, the World Wars of the Twentieth Century, Faith and Religion, and Art, Science, Wisdom, & Understanding. The contents of the documents include speeches, addresses, prefaces, proclamations, manifestos, declarations, and testaments; each appeared at a significant moment in world history. Each document is preceded by a short commentary that explains the specific circumstance in which it came to be, and also its broader historical context.

Young People and Parenting Obligations of the State
This book explores how the increasing need for specific kinds of parental engagement impacts care-experienced young peoples' trajectories. Previous Australian studies have found that care-experienced young people demonstrate poorer outcomes in health, education, and the criminal justice system throughout their life course. However, this multi-layered case study is the first to specifically address barriers in obtaining higher education—an effective tool for social mobility. In particular, the authors unpack how university marketing relies on young people to have a parent who understands tertiary education transitions to help them navigate post-school pathways to careers or higher education, as well as how policies might fail to help students who do not have such a figure in their lives. The authors offer suggestions for policy change in Australia while providing a basis for global comparisons and recommendations for how care-experienced young people and their support networks can overcome present challenges.
Principles of CASE Tool Integration
Computer Aided Software Engineering (CASE) tools typically support individual users in the automation of a set of tasks within a software development process. Such tools have helped organizations in their efforts to develop better software within budget and time constraints. However, many organizations are failing to take full advantage of CASE technology as they struggle to make coordinated use of collections of tools, often obtained at different times from different vendors. This book provides an in-depth analysis of the CASE tool integration problem, and describes practical approaches that can be used with current CASE technology to help your organization take greater advantage of integrated CASE.
