"Education Law provides a comprehensive survey of the legal problems and issues that confront school administrators and policy makers. The greater the likelihood of litigation or error in a particular area of professional practice, the more extensive the discussion. The book is organized in accordance with the authors' belief that students need to read cases to understand the subtlety and richness of the law - but that for legal neophytes, cases without discussion and interpretation are often difficult to comprehend. Thus the text both explains the important concepts of principles of education law and presents court decisions to illuminate them. By employing this structure, the book combines the strengths of the traditional casebook and those of the legal treatise. It also discusses the implications of the law for educational policy and practice."--Jacket.

Siegfried Kracauer

**Die Angestellten** (Untertitel: *Aus dem neuesten Deutschland*) ist ein Buch von Siegfried Kracauer aus dem Jahr 1930. Es wurde in viele Sprachen übersetzt und zählt zu den klassischen Schriften der Soziologie, obwohl es von der Fachwissenschaft weniger rezipiert wurde als von der nichtsoziologischen Öffentlichkeit. Kracauer schildert im Buch die von den Betroffenen unbemerkte Proletarisierung und die ideologische „Obdachlosigkeit“ der Angestellten. (Quelle: Wikipedia)

Technological alliances have begun to change the way high-technology companies conduct research and development. While most companies still carry out R&D in isolation, the secretive, closed laboratory is becoming a thing of the past. Flexible Innovation, the first study of these changes within the Canadian context, is a comprehensive look at the state of technical collaboration in high-technology firms and a guide-book for formulating and facilitating technical alliances. Basing his study on in-depth interviews in more than 130 companies across Canada, Jorge Niosi analyses the scope of collaborative research activities - both domestic and international - in the fields of biotechnology, electronics, advanced materials, and manufacturing of transportation equipment. He describes successful patterns of collaboration, obstacles and limitations, and the role of public policy, universities, and government laboratories in technological alliances and compares Canadian partnerships and public policy with similar patterns in Europe, the United States, and Japan.
