5 Wild and Woolly Mammoths: Revised Edition (Trophy Picture Books (Paperback) )  Aliki (Illustrator)
Harpertrophy February 28, 1998 0064461793 Paperback NF; Mammoth sketch and signed by author inside front cover.  
0/8 Book Weight (Lbs/Oz); 11 x 9 x 0.2 inches; 32 pages; From Publishers Weekly. With all-new art, substantially changed text, new charts and a new trim size, the revised edition of Aliki's Wild and Woolly Mammoths, first published in 1977, could almost be a brand-new book from the popular picture book author. Its subject, of course, remains the same. Preserved for 39, 000 years under snow and ice, the body of a woolly mammoth was discovered in Siberia in 1900. Using information from this site along with more recent archeological findings, scientists have determined when and where these ancestors of the elephant lived? And how they were hunted by hungry cave dwellers. With concise text and informative art, Aliki illuminates the timeless appeal of these long-gone animals? And drops a gentle warning about the possible fate of tusked descendants (HarperCollins, $14.95 32p ages 4-8 ISBN 0-06-026276-1 Jan. ) . Copyright 1996 Reed Business Information, Inc. . --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title. . From School Library Journal. Kindergarten-Grade 3-This revision of a popular title (1977) provides a fascinating glimpse of woolly mammoths and the cave dwellers who hunted them. The text has been revamped and is more complex than in the earlier edition, with many interesting additions and sidebars reflecting new archaeological discoveries. The book is now geared to a second or third grade reading level, but would still make a fascinating read-aloud for younger children. The format has been enlarged, allowing for a more attractive, less cramped layout. The illustrations are beautifully done in watercolor and pencil and allow the mammoth to appear a realistic, yet almost mythical creature, which suits its extinct status. Overall, a good book has been transformed into an even better one. ? Melissa Hudak, North Suburban District Library, Roscoe, IL.

12 Ndito Runs  Anderson, Laurie Halse
Henry Holt & Company 1996 0805032657 Hardcover VG+/NONE  
0/14 Book Weight (Lbs/Oz); 0.5 x 8.5 x 10.5 inches; 32 pages; From School Library Journal: PreSchool-Grade 1? Young readers and listeners will follow Ndito on a joyous romp through the Kenyan countryside as she heads to school. Dressed in a uniform, she begins her journey running through her village, passing various inhabitants in their native dress. As she heads out onto the savanna, she imagines being a number of animals, which are pictured, including a dik-dik, crane, and flamingo. Van der Merwe, a South African artist, makes a promising picture-book debut as her acrylic paintings fill the pages, bringing both the African countryside and the young protagonist to life. In her acknowledgments, Anderson points out how "Most children in the Kenyan highlands grow up running miles each day to get to school, and several have gone on to join the ranks of the fastest runners in the world. " Even with the increasing number of multicultural titles being published, few have this book's melding of illustration and text. Pair it with one of Hugh Lewin's "Jafta" stories to take youngsters on a trip to a different part of the world. ? Tom S. Hurlburt, La Crosse Public Library, . Copyright 1996 Reed Business Information, Inc. . From Booklist: Ages 4+-8. A small girl in the Kenyan highlands runs barefoot from her village home to school. As she runs, she calls up animal dreams to keep her company--she gallops like a wildebeest, hops like a dik-dik, floats like a gazelle--and feels herself part of the world she loves. There's not much story: the journey is a way to tell us about her place and her way of life, but it is an exciting world and the wild animals are a natural part of it. An author's note points out that most children in the Kenyan highlands run miles each day to school, and several have gone on to become world-champion runners. The simple, poetic words and the vital brown-and red-shaded acrylic paintings express Ndito's exhilaration and her connection with nature and with people. She sees crowned cranes sweep across the sky and thousands of flamingos take to the air at the waterhole, and the shadows and sunlight of the early morning weave rhythmic patterns that run with her to school.

14 Every Officer is a Leader: Transforming Leadership in Police, Justice, and Public Safety  Anderson, Terry D.
CRC September 28, 1999 1574441183 Hardcover AN/NONE; Minor edge scuffing bottom rear; otherwise AN  
2/7 Book Weight (Lbs/Oz) ; 9.3 x 6.4 x 1.2 inches; 437 pages; Review: For anyone eager and serious about developing leadership that equips people for a high performance workplace, this book is an absolute must. n-William C. Bean, Chairman Strategia, Previous Chief Financial Officer, IBM Training. Every Officer is a Leader is becoming a reality in the New Westminster Police Service. For the past two and a half years we have applied the principles and practices from Transforming Leadership to conduct an organizational needs assessment, implement a strategic plan, and facilitate team development. These principles have also been instrumental in personnel development in our organization. Knowledge and insights gained from this book, together with training, have challenged staff to build additional leadership competencies into their careers and relationships. Practicing the complex set of skills set out in this book enables our leaders to strengthen community policing initiatives. As a result, our Police Service and our community are becoming increasingly positive environments in which to work and live. -Peter Young, MBA, Chief of Police in New Westminster, British Columbia. With Transforming Leadership, Terry Anderson took readers on a journey of self-discovery on the way to becoming effective agents of positive change. In every Officer is a Leader the road winds through public safety organizations through the use of experiences and examples from law enforcement, but the destination remains consistent. I recommend this book to anyone determined to play an active role in 21st century police leadership. -Professor Ted Herbert, Director, Police Leadership Education, Dalhousie University, Halifax, Canada n nBook Description nEvery Officer is a Leader: Leadership Transformation in Law Enforcement and Criminal Justice, authored by leadership expert Terry Anderson and several well known leaders in the law enforcement and criminal justice profession, responds to the need for a comprehensive leadership development model for the education and training of police, justice and public safety supervisors , managers and front line officers. He examines how leadership development has a profound impact on the morale and performance of individual officers, teams, and organizations, illustrating in depth and detail how police and other justice and public safety leaders (in corrections, fire, customs, immigration, security, courts, etc. ) can implement the Transforming Leadership process, skills, and principles. The recent focus (during the past 10 years) on community policing initiatives has made competency based leadership skills training essential for front line officers. The author's innovative contribution is a focus on the necessity to build "a leadership organization" before - and to an extent, while - you move ahead into building a "learning organization " that is responsive to community and internal organizational needs. The personal, team, and organization development skills discussed in this book are necessary pre-requisites to successful implementation of any neighborhood or community policing initiatives. Every Officer is a Leader: Leadership Transformation in Law Enforcement and Criminal Justice provides a model for integrating other models into a holistic leadership development framework. It furnishes a map for developing critical leadership skills with self-assessment, includes the developmental aspects of leadership expert Terry Anderson's previous book on Transforming Leadership, and applies them to law enforcement and criminal justice. Anderson and his contributing authors add clarity, perspective, and examples to show how individual leaders can develop themselves, and one another, into high-performance team leaders and officers who motivate others to respond to issues that affect the morale, health, and safety of the communities in which they serve. This new focus adds a perspective on security issues that affect police, justice and public safety organizations.

27 Critical Mass  Ball, Philip
Arrow Books Ltd February 3, 2005 0099457865 Paperback VG+; Minor corner crease rear; no interior marks  
1/1 Book Weight (Lbs/Oz); 7.6 x 5.1 x 1.4 inches; 656 pages; From Publishers Weekly. Ball (an NBCC award finalist for Bright Earth) enthusiastically demonstrates how the application of the laws of modern physics to the social sciences can greatly enrich our understanding of the laws of human behavior: we can, he says, make predictions about society without negating the individual's free will. He opens his lucid and compelling study with an account of Thomas Hobbes's mechanistic political philosophy and shows how Adam Smith, Kant, Auguste Comte and John Stuart Mill expanded on Hobbes's scientific but anti-utopian theories of government and society. Ball notes a return to such a scientific view of the social sciences in the past two decades, and he examines the application of physical laws to economics, politics, even the inevitable synchronization of a theater audience's applause. First, he exhaustively details the development of key concepts in contemporary physics, such as self-organization, phase transitions, flocking behavior, chaos, bifurcation points, preferential attachment networks and evolutionary game theory. Next, he shows how social scientists apply these concepts to the study of human organization. Ball's primary assertion is that we must attend to the relationship between global phenomena and local actions. In other words, noticing the impact of individual decisions on laws and institutions is more worthwhile than trying to predict the behavior of individuals (as Ball's discussion of the logic of voting habits makes all too clear) . Ball's carefully argued disagreements with conventional economic theory make for particularly engaging reading. Nonspecialist readers who enjoy a steep learning curve will relish the thought-provoking discussions Ball provides. Photos, illus. . Copyright © Reed Business Information, a division of Reed Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved. --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title. . From Booklist. In this wide-ranging investigation of pioneering attempts to explain social behavior by applying formulas borrowed from physics, Ball explains how maverick social theorists are now using discoveries about molecular motion and crystal formation to predict the behavior of various human groups, including crowds of soccer fans and clusters of pedestrians. Ball acknowledges that past "political arithmeticians" have often dehumanized their subjects by adopting mechanistic assumptions about individual psychology and have sometimes legitimated totalitarian rulers by giving them a putatively scientific charter. But Ball's numerous detailed examples of the new social physics show how statistical models from physics can yield highly reliable predictions for large-group outcomes without abridging the unpredictable freedom of individual choice. These same examples teach that a consistent physics of society yields not an ideological straitjacket stipulating how people should act but rather a detailed portrait of how people do act. Because the new social physics can help managers and policy makers in dozens of fields, this accessibly written book will attract a very diverse audience. Bryce Christensen.

30 Peter Pan : The Original Tale Of Neverland, Complete And Unabridged  Barrie, J. M.
Simon & Schuster November 30, 2000 0743214498 Hardcover NF/NONE  
2/14 Book Weight (Lbs/Oz); 11.4 x 11.3 x 0.7 inches; 144 pages; Book Description. . Peter Pan, J. M. Barrie's tale of the boy who wouldn't grow up, remains one of the most beloved children's books ever written. For nearly a hundred years, kids across the world have drifted off to sleep dreaming about Tinker Bell and the Lost Boys, pixie dust and ticking clocks, crocodiles and Captain Hook. But in spite of the story's visual richness, it has never been illustrated photographically until now. . In this lavishly produced edition of the unabridged adventure classic, designer and illustrator Raquel Jaramillo interprets Peter Pan through her wondrous photographic imagery. By blending illustration, photography, and computer technology, she blurs the lines between fiction and reality. The result is fresh and startlingly beautiful -- pure magic. Neverland comes alive with the immediacy and drama of a movie. Pirates stalk savage forests, mermaids swim through sun-kissed seas, children fly above undiscovered islands. Portrayed with a flesh-and-blood intimacy, the beloved characters of Peter Pan, Wendy Darling, Captain Hook, Tinker Bell, and Nana seem more real than ever before. . Part ghost story, part love story, tender, funny, and wise, Peter Pan is a haunting work that appeals equally to boys and girls. But in the wake of numerous abridged retellings, the famous Disney adaptation, and other big-screen updates, the true nature of the novel has been somewhat forgotten, its impact diminished with each passing generation. Jaramillo's stunning re-creation secures the legacy of the tale, in all its complexity, for a second century. It will prove to be as ageless as Peter himself.
