Immigration, Internal Migration, and Local Mobility in the U.S.
This volume provides an important assembly of research findings for all who are interested either in changing or reinforcing present immigration policy. Both comprehensive and up-to-date, the study of the demographic, economic, and social interaction between immigration and internal mobility in the U.S. is based on a fresh analysis of the most recent data from all major available sources. Covering the past century through the present, the research reflects the concerns and problems of communities that receive migrants, as well as those of the migrants themselves. It provides a factual basis for negotiation between the strong demands for liberalized immigration laws and the equally strong pub...
A Treatise on Migration
This is an interdisciplinary textbook on internal and international migration. It is designed to provide comprehensive information on these phenomena to senior and graduate students who have had a basic course in statistics. It is intended to be the sole or supplementary course book for migration courses to students of departments of demography, economics, sociology, anthropology, political science, geography, environmental studies, and public policy.

Crime, Shame and Reintegration
Crime, Shame and Reintegration is a contribution to general criminological theory. Its approach is as relevant to professional burglary as to episodic delinquency or white collar crime. Braithwaite argues that some societies have higher crime rates than others because of their different processes of shaming wrongdoing. Shaming can be counterproductive, making crime problems worse. But when shaming is done within a cultural context of respect for the offender, it can be an extraordinarily powerful, efficient and just form of social control. Braithwaite identifies the social conditions for such successful shaming. If his theory is right, radically different criminal justice policies are needed - a shift away from punitive social control toward greater emphasis on moralizing social control. This book will be of interest not only to criminologists and sociologists, but to those in law, public administration and politics who are concerned with social policy and social issues.
Five Types of Learning
The late Dr. Donald E. Carline taught at the University of ColoradoBoulder, where he imparted timeless wisdom unto his students focusing on K-12 education. He emphasized five types of learning: sensory experience learning, memory, motor learning, problem solving/critical thinking, and social-emotional learning. In Five Types of Learning, one of Carlines former studentsCarole Bogue, Ph.D.presents the philosophy and thinking behind each type of learning, drawing on Carlines material and lectures that he delivered in a wonderful, storytelling manner. Bogue also reveiws the recent literature in the five areas of learning and how to facilitate them. She finds significant support for Carlines view...
