Diplomatic Deceits

Government, Media, and East Timor

By: Rodney Tiffen

The Australian media has played a key role in debates over Australia's East Timor policy since the mid-1970s. - Introduced by the ABC's multi-awarding-winning reporter Chris Masters, this is the first book to analyse the interaction of newspapers, broadcasters, politicians, diplomats and the public during this turbulent period. - It provides a vivid insight into the key role of the media in this controversial issue. - Australia's foreign affairs policymakers decided to adopt a 'pragmatic' rather than 'principled' approach to East Timor - That policy unravelled over the subsequent quarter century, under constant pressure from public opinion, the media, and international disapproval. - In the long run, argues Rodney Tiffen, Australia's stance was neither pragmatic nor principled.

Latinos in the New Millennium

An Almanac of Opinion, Behavior, and Policy Preferences

By: Luis R. Fraga,John A. Garcia,Rodney E. Hero,Michael Jones-Correa,Valerie Martinez-Ebers,Gary M. Segura

Latinos in the New Millennium is a comprehensive profile of Latinos in the United States: looking at their social characteristics, group relations, policy positions and political orientations. The authors draw on information from the 2006 Latino National Survey (LNS), the largest and most detailed source of data on Hispanics in America. This book provides essential knowledge about Latinos, contextualizing research data by structuring discussion around many dimensions of Latino political life in the US. The encyclopedic range and depth of the LNS allows the authors to appraise Latinos' group characteristics, attitudes, behaviors and their views on numerous topics. This study displays the complexity of Latinos, from recent immigrants to those whose grandparents were born in the United States.

The Matrix of Race

Social Construction, Intersectionality, and Inequality

By: Rodney D. Coates,Abby L. Ferber,David L. Brunsma

Topically organized and drawing on the most up-to-date theories and perspectives in the field, The Matrix of Race, Second Edition examines the intersecting, multilayered identities of contemporary society, and the powerful social institutions that shape our understanding of race. Leading scholars Rodney D. Coates, Abby L. Ferber, and David L. Brunsma use a storytelling approach to illustrate how racial inequality has produced drastically different opportunities, experiences, and outcomes within all aspects of life, from schools, housing, medicine, and workplaces to our criminal justice and political systems. Readers are equipped with a historical perspective, theoretical framework, and diverse view of race and racial ideologies so that they can confidently participate and contribute to dialogues and practices that will ultimately dismantle race and racial structures. This title is accompanied by a complete teaching and learning package.

Go Long

Why Long-Term Thinking Is Your Best Short-Term Strategy

Go Long

Why Long-Term Thinking Is Your Best Short-Term Strategy

By: Dennis Carey,Brian Dumaine,Michael Useem,Rodney Zemmel

800-CEO-READ BESTSELLER Featured in Fortune, Harvard Business Review, and Entrepreneur, Go Long is "mandatory reading for the CEOs and boards of all public companies," according to David M. Rubenstein, co-founder and co-executive chairman of The Carlyle Group. The lifespans of companies are growing shorter each day. Why do some companies thrive and grow, while others fail? Inspired by the CEO Academy, the annual off-the-record gathering of chief executives organized by the authors, reveals how some of the world's most prominent business leaders resisted short-term pressures to successfully manage their organizations for the long term, and in turn, aim to create more jobs, more satisfied customers, and more shareholder wealth. In Go Long, authors Dennis Carey, Brian Dumaine, Michael Useem, and Rodney Zemmel take you behind the scenes to witness the business decisions that are enabling leading organizations to outsmart and outlast the competition. Why did CEO Larry Merlo allow CVS to take a $2 billion hit—on purpose? How did former CEO Alan Mulally maneuver Ford's $48 billion turnaround? How did director Maggie Wilderotter and her fellow board members engage top management to embark on an unusual exercise to help Hewlett Packard Enterprise build a long-term strategy? Why did former CEO Paul Polman turn back to Unilever's original mission of leading with a purpose to fuel profits? How did former Verizon CEO Ivan Seidenberg convince his investors and board to allow him to make a $150 billion bet? How did former CEO George Buckley find a way to address investor calls for 3M to spend less on research and development while still finding a way to innovate? These leaders argue that a short-term mindset might satisfy investors for this quarter or next, but there's a heavy price to be paid. Instead, they argue, long-term thinking is your best short-term strategy. "Considering the enormous harm that short-term investing has done not only to companies, but to countries as well, this book should be required reading in boardrooms everywhere. A concise, powerful call for responsible, long-term business practices."—Kirkus Reviews "A must-read. If you're looking to build or lead a company that grows consistently not just from quarter to quarter, but year to year … this book is for you."—Indra Nooyi, Board of Directors, Amazon; former Chairman and CEO, PepsiCo, Inc.

Family Medicine

Obstetrical Ultrasound

By: John R. MacMillan Rodney

Write a review Read reviews Take a Quiz Solve Book Puzzle

Family Medicine

Obstetrical Ultrasound

By: John R. MacMillan Rodney

Specialization has driven medical practice over the last century. Expanding knowledge has increased the physician workforce but has decreased the proportion of general family doctors, leaving rural areas with critical physician shortages. In 1978 almost half of family physicians delivered babies. By 2005 this number decreased to 23 percent. Although many recognize the broad medical and surgical skills required in remote Africa, few recognize the need for similar skills among doctors in rural America. These physicians blend family and emergency medicine with specific skills from obstetrics, gynecology, and general surgery. Many family doctors provide extensive women’s health services, including cancer screening, prenatal care, and cesarean delivery. This work is written for these physicians. In rural areas, most women cannot leave their communities to have children. Extensive travel for prenatal care and delivery has detrimental economic and social consequences. Although rural counties provide quality care, they cannot afford an array of technicians, nurses, and physicians trained in obstetrics, gynecology, surgery, neonatology, and critical care. Drawing from my mentors’ and family’s experiences in Texas and Tennessee, I realized that there was no formal ultrasound curriculum for family doctors providing rural obstetrical care. The majority of texts have been written for ultrasound technicians performing examinations and subspecialists interpreting the acquired images. Historically, family physicians have played a prominent role in obstetrical patient safety and care, as seen through the continued success of the Advanced Life Support in Obstetrics (ALSO) curriculum. Although the ALSO course provides valuable training, I argue that a formal program for physician performed obstetrical ultrasound is equally, if not more, important. Ultrasound is the basis for obstetrical risk stratification. Without basic skills, physicians may inadvertently put mothers and children at risk. For example, a physician in west Texas should not trend beta hCG levels over two days when evaluating a suspected ectopic pregnancy. Any suspected threat to pregnancy should be investigated immediately at the point of care to avoid unnecessary delays that may lead to maternal or fetal death. This text serves as a rational but not exhaustive introduction to obstetrical ultrasound for the physician providing women’s health services in remote or resource-poor settings. This text distills volumes of information found in advanced obstetrical textbooks as well as recent American and European literature. The referenced articles come from a variety of journals and represent many specialties. Ultimately, we desire to promote patient safety and improve care and welcome any suggestions or ideas that help achieve this goal. Thank you for selecting this text; we hope it serves you and your patients well.

Religious Diversity in Southeast Asia and the Pacific

National Case Studies

By: Gary D. Bouma,Rodney Ling,Douglas Pratt

Religious diversity is now a social fact in most countries of the world. While reports of the impact of religious diversity on Europe and North America are reasonably well-known, the ways in which Southeast Asia and Asia Pacific are religiously diverse and the ways this diversity has been managed are not. This book addresses this lack of information about one of the largest and most diverse regions of the world. It describes the religious diversity of 27 nations, as large and complex as Indonesia and as small as Tuvalu, outlining the current issues and the basic policy approaches to religious diversity. Southeast Asia and the Pacific Islands are portrayed as a living laboratory of various religious blends, with a wide variance of histories and many different approaches to managing religious diversity. While interesting in their own right, a study of these nations provides a wealth of case studies of diversity management – most of them stories of success and inclusion.

Outbreak

Cases in Real-World Microbiology

By: Rodney P. Anderson

Outbreak: Cases in Real-World Microbiology, 2nd Edition, is the newest edition of this fascinating textbook designed for introductory microbiology students and instructors. Thoroughly revised, this collection of case studies of real-world disease outbreaks, generously illustrated in full color, offers material that directly impacts college-level students, while the book's unique presentation offers instructors the flexibility to use it effectively in a number of ways. More than 90 outbreak case studies, organized into six sections according to the human body system affected, illustrate the wide range of diseases caused by microbial pathogens. The studies are presented at differing levels of difficulty and can be taught at all undergraduate levels. Each case study includes questions for students to think about, discuss, and answer, and the book includes an appendix that directs students to the specific reference material on which each case was based, providing the opportunity to investigate further and to apply the reference content to the case being studied. Each of the six sections of the book concludes with a College Perspective and a Global Perspective case study. The College Perspective provides a direct and practical link between the microbiology course and the daily lives of students. The Global Perspective connects students with outbreaks that have occurred in countries around the world to facilitate understanding of the social, religious, economic, and political values at play in the treatment and prevention of infectious disease. At the end of every section, detailed descriptions offer concise yet complete information on each disease involved in that section.

Key West in History

By: Rodney Carlisle,Loretta Carlisle

Key West is a unique travel destination whose history is so rich, it can be confusing for first-time visitors. Tourists walk through a mix of nineteenth-, twentieth-, and twenty-first‒century historic homes and attractions in a blur of fascinating impressions. They get no clear picture of the evolution of the city from its beginnings to the present and no sense of how all of the sites fit into history nor of the significance of Key West in American social, military, and intellectual history. Key West in History changes all of that. More than a typical, site-by-site guidebook, this book presents over 50 Key West sites in historical context—an invaluable resource for the visitor or student who wants a deeper understanding of how the city represents different eras of American and Floridian history, and how specific sites reflect important periods and trends in the past. Each chapter describes the events of a period of Key West history, and is accompanied by photographs of selected sites that represent that period.

Handbook of Road Ecology

By: Rodney van der Ree,Daniel J. Smith,Clara Grilo

Winner of the IENE Project Award 2016. This authoritative volume brings together some of the world’s leading researchers, academics, practitioners and transportation agency personnel to present the current status of the ecological sustainability of the linear infrastructure – primarily road, rail and utility easements – that dissect and fragment landscapes globally. It outlines the potential impacts, demonstrates how this infrastructure is being improved, and how broad ecological principles are applied to mitigate the impact of road networks on wildlife. Research and monitoring is an important aspect of road ecology, encompassing all phases of a transportation project. This book covers research and monitoring to span the entire project continuum – starting with planning and design, through construction and into maintenance and management. It focuses on impacts and solutions for species groups and specific regions, with particular emphasis on the unique challenges facing Asia, South America and Africa. Other key features: Contributions from authors originating from over 25 countries, including from all continents Each chapter summarizes important lessons, and includes lists of further reading and thoroughly up to date references Highlights principles that address key points relevant to all phases in all road projects Explains best-practices based on a number of successful international case studies Chapters are "stand-alone", but they also build upon and complement each other; extensive cross-referencing directs the reader to relevant material elsewhere in the book Handbook of Road Ecology offers a comprehensive summary of approximately 30 years of global efforts to quantify the impacts of roads and traffic and implement effective mitigation. As such, it is essential reading for those involved in the planning, design, assessment and construction of new roads; the management and maintenance of existing roads; and the modifying or retrofitting of existing roads and problem locations. This handbook is an accessible resource for both developed and developing countries, including government transportation agencies, Government environmental/conservation agencies, NGOs, and road funding and donor organisations.
