Worst Things First
For any government agency, the distribution of available resources among problems or programs is crucially important. Agencies, however, typically lack a self-conscious process for examining priorities, much less an explicit method for defining what priorities should be. Worst Things First? illustrates the controversy that ensues when previously implicit administrative processes are made explicit and subjected to critical examination. It reveals surprising limitations to quantitative risk assessment as an instrument for precise tuning of policy judgments. The book also demonstrates the strength of political and social forces opposing the exclusive use of risk assessment in setting environmental priorities.

Tara's Mother
The long-lived Samadeya-Qayin, ally of the Almighty and check against Pelik-Qayin, who is something more than an evil twin, clash once more. Amy Rea, Samadeya's adopted daughter and First Lord of the Admiralty, was shot down aboard her flagship Victory at Trafalgar. But two powerful lookalike women emerge from the smoke and blood--Amy's flag officer Joane O'Donnell and the mysterious Amethyst Meathe. Both play a vital role in Thomas Rourke's battle against the French despot at Mount Sainte Jean, near Waterloo. Joane takes on prominent military role in now-allied new France. But Amethyst still has battles to fight--first with lead enemy nation Spain, then with Ireland's own King Frederick and his would-be replacements back home. She succeeds her mentor as "The Mother"--High Queen of Low Tara, becomes queen maker for several nations, and continues Amy Rea's battle against God's enemies. Who are she and Joane, really, and will Amethyst and the band of brothers and sisters she inherited from Amy Rea live to see a new, better, and peaceful Ireland emerge from the ashes of war?
The Wonderful World of Mathematics
The National Council of Teachers of Mathematics (NCTM) has articulated goals in the pursuit of mathematics literacy that include learning to value mathematics, becoming confident in one's mathematics abilities, becoming a mathematical problem solver, learning to communicate mathematically, and learning to reason mathematically. Literature that explores mathematical concepts seems to be a natural tool for attaining those goals. The NCTM formed a committee to read and review books and to prepare the manuscript for this annotated bibliography of children's books in mathematics.
