Street Lights of the World
Street Lights of the World is the ultimate visual guide to this often overlooked architectural accessory. Most people never notice the street lights around them and cannot imagine why anyone would. Fortunately for us, someone did notice and has created a surprisingly interesting collection of photographs. The photographs are divided by country and, within the United States, they are further divided by state. Even a casual look at the book will bring an enjoyable discovery of how different shapes, materials and design can bring such different visual effects. Those who spend more time with the book will be amazed at how street lights differ around the world and across time. It highlights the range of variations that exist both in the standards and globes of street lights, and how those variations can enhance the environment. This collection was accumulated over thirty years and by many photographers, but it is presented not only in an understandable order, but in an attractive order. A short history of street lights precedes two hundred pages of illustrations.

Or, if you are using the Internet, but do not feel very confident in what you are ...
Handbook on Decision Support Systems 2
As the most comprehensive reference work dealing with decision support systems (DSS), this book is essential for the library of every DSS practitioner, researcher, and educator. Written by an international array of DSS luminaries, it contains more than 70 chapters that approach decision support systems from a wide variety of perspectives. These range from classic foundations to cutting-edge thought, informative to provocative, theoretical to practical, historical to futuristic, human to technological, and operational to strategic. The chapters are conveniently organized into ten major sections that novices and experts alike will refer to for years to come.
Power, Knowledge, and Politics
If knowledge is power, then John Hird has opened the doors for anyone interested in public policymaking and policy analysis on the state level. A beginning question might be: does politics put gasoline or sugar in the tank? More specifically, in a highly partisan political environment, is nonpartisan expertise useful to policymaking? Do policy analysts play a meaningful role in decision making? Does policy expertise promote democratic decision making? Does it vest power in an unelected and unaccountable elite, or does it become co-opted by political actors and circumstances? Is it used to make substantive changes or just for window-dressing? In a unique comparative focus on state policy, Pow...
Interdisciplinary Perspectives on E-Collaboration: Emerging Trends and Applications
"This book focuses on e-collaboration technologies that enable group-based interaction, and the impact that those technologies have on group work"--Provided by publisher.
Social Experimentation and Public Policymaking
Social experimentation randomly assigns individuals or groups to coverage by the policy of interest or a control group and then the groups are compared in terms of outcome. Greenberg (economics, U. of Maryland), Linksz (mathematics, science, and engineering, Community College of Baltimore County), and Mandell (policy sciences, U. of Maryland) seek to assess whether the substantial investment in social experimentation in the United States has resulted in significant public policy changes. After explaining the general concepts behind social experimentation, they analyze five case studies and determine that they are not of decisive importance in state policy making, but they often serve useful purposes of policy formation.

Web-based Education
Successful use of information and communication technologies depends on usable designs that do not require expensive training, accommodate the needs of diverse users and are low cost. There is a growing demand and increasing pressure for adopting innovative approaches to the design and delivery of education, hence, the use of online learning (also called E-learning) as a mode of study. This is partly due to the increasing number of learners and the limited resources available to meet a wide range of various needs, backgrounds, expectations, skills, levels, ages, abilities and disabilities. The advances of new technology and communications (WWW, Human Computer Interaction and Multimedia) have made it possible to reach out to a bigger audience around the globe. By focusing on the issues that have impact on the usability of online learning programs and their implementation, Usability Evaluation of Online Learning Programs specifically fills-in a gap in this area, which is particularly invaluable to practitioners.
