Gender Bending Detective Fiction
Since the middle of the last century, views on gender norms have shifted dramatically. Reflecting these changes, storylines that involve cross-dressing and transgender characters have frequently appeared in detective fiction--characters who subvert the conventions of the genre and challenge reader expectations. This examination of 20th and 21st century crime novels reveals what these narratives say about gender identity and gender expression and how they contributed to the evolution of detective fiction.
Case File State v. Sanchez

What happened next is in dispute, as is whether Sanchez is a gang member or just a local resident who was in the wrong place at the wrong time. This unique file focuses on gang activity and non-traditional experts whose qualifications are experience rather than education. New to ...

Strategic Environmental Assessment for Policies
Environmentally and socially sustainable policies are essential for good governance. Strategic Environmental Assessment (SEA) is the key tool for integrating environmental considerations into policies, programs and plans. This book focuses on SEA applied to policies. Through lessons learned from previous use of SEA on policies, it draws lessons on the strengths and weaknesses of current SEA methodology. It then goes on to analyze how policies are formulated and implemented and proposes a new conceptual framework for conducting SEA of policies thatpotentially could be more useful in influencing decision makers to integrate environmental sustainability considerations into policy formulation and implementation.
State V. Sanchez
State v. Sanchez is a criminal case file featuring the trial of Ernesto Sanchez, who admits to fatally stabbing Patrick Connor during a street fight between two Nita City gangs. Sanchez pleads self-defense, and the circumstances surrounding the stabbing are complicated by the testimonies of other gang and community members. This case file is particularly unique because of its focus on gang activity and its use of non-traditional experts with specialized knowledge of gang behavior. It also addresses the potential impact of racial bias during a criminal trial. Exhibits include social media evidence and a digital recording of a news interview. There are five witnesses for both the state and the defense.

The Longest Romance
Fidel Castro jailed political prisoners at a higher rate than Stalin during the Great Terror. He murdered more Cubans in his first three years in power than Hitler murdered Germans during his first six. Alone among world leaders, Castro came to within inches of igniting a global nuclear holocaust. But you would never guess any of that from reading the mainstream American media. Instead we hear fawning accounts of Castro liberating Cuba from the clutches of U.S. robber-barons and bestowing world-class healthcare and education on his downtrodden citizens. “Propaganda is vital—the heart of our struggle,” Castro wrote in 1955. Today, the concept is as valid to the Cuban regime as ever. His...
Problem-Based Learning: A Didactic Strategy in the Teaching of System Simulation
This book describes and outlines the theoretical foundations of system simulation in teaching, and as a practical contribution to teaching-and-learning models. It presents various methodologies used in teaching, the goal being to solve real-life problems by creating simulation models and probability distributions that allow correlations to be drawn between a real model and a simulated model. Moreover, the book demonstrates the role of simulation in decision-making processes connected to teaching and learning.
Advances in Evolutionary Computing for System Design
Evolutionary computing paradigms offer robust and powerful adaptive search mechanisms for system design. This book’s thirteen chapters cover a wide area of topics in evolutionary computing and applications, including an introduction to evolutionary computing in system design; evolutionary neuro-fuzzy systems; and evolution of fuzzy controllers. The book will be useful to researchers in intelligent systems with interest in evolutionary computing, as well as application engineers and system designers.
