Life Skills Education for Youth
This open access volume critically reviews a diverse body of scholarship and practice that informs the conceptualization, curriculum, teaching and measurement of life skills in education settings around the world. It discusses life skills as they are implemented in schools and non-formal education, providing both qualitative and quantitative evidence of when, with whom, and how life skills do or do not impact young women’s and men’s lives in various contexts.

University of California, Berkeley
This book "offers an insider's view of the first school in the University of California system. The Beaux-Arts master plan by John Galen Howard created a classic setting for early buildings by Bernard Maybeck, Julia Morgan, and Greene & Greene, and later buildings by John Carl Warnecke, Edward Larrabee Barnes, Charles Moore, Donlyn Lyndon, William Turnbull, and landscape architecture by Lawrence Halprin. The campus is unique for its breadth of architectural works by California designers. [This book], featuring over 100 buildings, is fascinating to read and an easy-to-use companion for a walking tour. With a foreword by Berkeley's Chancellor Robert M. Berdahl, and striking photographs by author Harvey Helfand, this is the definitive guide to the history and architecture of the first public institution of higher learning in California"--Inside front cover.

Mark Twain's Notebooks & Journals, Volume II
The twelve notebooks in volume 1 provided information about the eighteen years in which the most profound, even dramatic, changes took place in Clemens' life. He early achieved the limits of his boyhood ambition by becoming a steamboat pilot on the Mississippi River, a position there is no reason to believe he would have abandoned if the Civil War had not forced him to do so. In fleeing from a war which principle and temperament prevented him from supporting, Clemens entered into the first stages of his literary career by serving as a reporter for newspapers in Virginia City and San Francisco. When the restricted experiences available to a local reporter had been thoroughly explored, he move...
Forming Sleep
Forming Sleep asks how biocultural and literary dynamics act together to shape conceptions of sleep states in the early modern period. Engaging with poetry, drama, and prose largely written in English between 1580 and 1670, the essays in this collection highlight period discussions about how seemingly insentient states might actually enable self-formation. Looking at literary representations of sleep through formalism, biopolitics, Marxist theory, trauma theory, and affect theory, this volume envisions sleep states as a means of defining the human condition, both literally and metaphorically. The contributors examine a range of archival sources—including texts in early modern faculty psych...
The University of California
At 150 years following its founding in 1868, the University of California is regarded by many as the most successful and highly respected public research university in the world. This book is an analysis of the structural, policy, operational, and environmental matters that have contributed to the success of the University of California, what makes UC tick and what approaches have made it tick best. The book can also serve as a reference work, and for that reason many cross-references among chapters have been included, along with a substantial index and many citations in footnotes.
