An Appeal to Reason: A Cool Look at Global Warming

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Lawson, Nigel, PUBLISHER: Gerald Duckworth & Co Ltd, "Clear, analytical and compelling." -"ong>Theong> Economist" In this well-informed and hard-hitting response to ong>theong> scaremongering of ong>theong> climate alarmists, Nigel Lawson, former Secretary of State for Energy under Margaret Thatcher, argues that it is time for ong>usong> to take a cool look at global warming. Lawson carefully and succinctly examines all aspects of ong>theong> global warming issue: ong>theong> science, ong>theong> economics, ong>theong> politics, and ong>theong> ethics. He concludes that ong>theong> conventional wisdom on ong>theong> subject is song>usong>pect on a number of grounds, that global warming is not ong>theong> devastating threat to ong>theong> planet it is widely alleged to be, and that ong>theong> remedy that is currently being proposed, which is in any event politically unattainable, would be worse that ong>theong> threat it is supposed to avert. Argued with logic, common sense, and even wit, and thoroughly sourced and referenced, Lawson has written a long overdue corrective to ong>theong> barrage of spin and hype to which ong>theong> politicians and media have been subjecting ong>theong> public on this important issue.

Contemporary Issues in Educational Policy and School

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Hoy, Wayne K. / Miskel, Cecil, PUBLISHER: Information Age Publishing, This book is ong>theong> fifth in a series on research and ong>theong>ory dedicated to advancing our understanding of schools through empirical study and ong>theong>oretical analysis. Scholars, both young and established, are invited to publish original analyses, but we especially encourage young scholars to contribute to this series. ong>Theong> current volume is similar to its predecessors in that it provides a mix of beginning and established scholars and a broad range of ong>theong>oretical perspectives; in all 14 authors contributed to 9 separate but related analyses, which were selected for publication this year. ong>Theong>se chapters underscore ong>theong> significance of educational ong>policyong> in contemporary public education and in particular ong>theong> impact of accountability ong>policyong> on school outcomes. Public schools are increasingly being held accountable for students achieving at higher levels in both basic skills and higher-level learning outcomes. Of course, all ong>policyong> is enacted by teachers in classroom and sometimes changed or distorted in ong>theong> process. ong>Theong> challenge is to improve student outcomes without permitting accountability testing to extinguish innovation and creativity in schools. This book series on ong>Theong>ory and Research in Educational Administration is about understanding schools. We welcome articles and analyses that explain school organizations and administration. We are interested in ong>theong> "why" questions about schools. To that end, case analyses, surveys, large data base analyses, experimental studies, and ong>theong>oretical analyses are all welcome. We provide ong>theong> space for authors to do comprehensive analyses where that is appropriate and ong>usong>eful. We believe that ong>theong> ong>Theong>ory and Research in Educational Administration Series has ong>theong> potential to make an important contribution to our field, but we will be successful only if our colleagues continue to join ong>usong> in this mission.

Top Down Policy Making

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Dye, Thomas R., PUBLISHER: CQ Press, In this brief, eye-opening work, Thomas R.

In reality, Dye argues, public ong>policyong> in America, as in all nations, reflects ong>theong> values, interests, and preferences of ong>theong> governing elite."Top Down ong>Policyong>making" is a close examination of ong>theong> process by which ong>theong> nation's elite goes about making public ong>policyong>.
