paperback. Condition: Good. Our good condition books are generally good for reading but not for gifting or collecting. They could have imperfections such as creasing, fanning, inscriptions, margin notes, yellowing, staining on edge or cover or pages, bumps, scuffs, etc etc (sometimes multiple of these). It's a wide category that encompasses anything that isn't almost-new down to anything that is slightly better than poor. We would NOT recommend gifting Good books - these should be considered reading copies. Our books are dispatched from a Yorkshire former cotton mill. We list via barcode/ISBN so please note that the images are stock images and may not be the exact copy you receive, furthermore the details about edition and year might not be accurate as many publishers reuse the same ISBN for multiple editions and as we simply scan a barcode or enter an ISBN we do not check the validity of the edition data when listing. If you're looking for an exact edition please don't order (at least not without checking with us first, although we don't always have time to check). We aim to dispatch prompty, the service used will depend on order value and book size. We can ship to most countries, see our shipping policies. Payment is via Abe only.…

Hardbound. Condition: As New. New. Contents 1. Laying the foundations determining policies securing support and setting a pattern for education in penal institutions. 2. The development of centralized leadership for correctional education. 3. Solving practical problems making education function within prison walls. 4. Does correctional education pay dividends. 5. A statistical interpretation of the New York State program of correctional education. 6. Summary of recommendations. Appendix. Modern prison education attempts to bring the best practices of public education into the prison and to adapt them to the prison situation. It also attempts to develop these practices so that they will function satisfactorily in protecting society against further depredation by criminals. The problems involved in building genuine education programs and making them function as effective agencies in reforming the attitudes and habits of men and women who have rebelled in one way or another against social controls are numerous and complex. From the formulation of the philosophy and the establishment of objectives through the molding of the public opinion securing cooperation from institutional heads and personnel planning and organizing a program to devising techniques which will arouse and maintain the interests and efforts of the inmates the path of the prison educator is beset with problems as interesting as they are unique and puzzling. This is one frontier which is by no means closed. And although they must use different techniques tools and weapons the pioneers in correctional education face a region almost untracked and in the opinion of those responsible for this book full of possibilities for improvement. This book cites concrete examples of how the foregoing problems have been and are being solved in a practical manner. 187 pp.…

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book studies the magnetic properties of Heusler alloys, specifically their behavior above their transformation point. These alloys, made of copper, aluminum, and manganese, can be either paramagnetic or ferromagnetic. The author examines the change in their magnetic strength based on composition and temperature. The transformation point is shown to differ depending on whether the temperature is rising or falling, and Curie's law is found to not apply above this point. By examining these properties through experiments, the author uncovers the alloy's ability to exist in two distinct magnetic states, influenced by the temperature at which it is heated or cooled. The book contributes to the understanding of the magnetic behavior of Heusler alloys and their potential applications. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item.…
