An assessment of Rudolph Giuliani's tenure as mayor of New York City gives him low marks for performance, but high marks for creating a winning public persona.

This study of innovation - its intensity, the sources used for knowledge creation, and its impacts - is based on a comprehensive survey of innovation of Canadian manufacturing firms. Attention is paid to the different actors in the system, who both compete with and complement one another. The study investigates how innovation regimes differ across size of firm and across industries. Owing to the high degree of foreign investment in Canada, special attention is paid to the performance of foreign-owned firms. The innovation regime of Canadian innovators is compared with results of studies of other industrialized countries. The picture of a typical innovator is a firm that combines internal resources and external contacts to develop a set of complementary strategies. The study finds that innovating firms depend not only on R&D, but also on ideas and technology from various other sources, both internal and external to the firm.

Solid-state ionics is at the foundation for the development of environmentally friendly devices such as batteries and fuel cells for energy storage and conversion, and chemical sensors for pollution monitoring and control. The progress of such devices is crucial for sustainable development. Further insight into the study of fundamentals of ion transport and interfacial phenomena in advanced materials, including ceramics, glasses, polymers, composites and hybrids will allow better design, fabrication and performance of devices for their extensive use. This book is intended to help promote the fundamental understanding of ionic (including protonic) and electronic transport in solids, especially of interfacial transport, including the developing field of nanostructured materials. Contributions encompass fundamental materials R&D, characterization and materials for batteries, sensors, membranes, and fuel cells. Special emphasis is given to the development of high-temperature proton conduct

Decades of research point to the need for a universal preschool education program in the U.S. to help give our nation's children a sound cognitive and social foundation on which to build future educational and life successes. In addition to enhanced school readiness and improved academic performance, participation in high quality preschool programs has been linked with reductions in grade retentions and school drop out rates, and cost savings associated with a diminished need for remedial educational services and justice services. This 2006 book brings together nationally renowned experts from the fields of psychology, education, economics and political science to present a compelling case for expanded access to preschool services. They describe the social, educational, and economic benefits for the nation as a whole that may result from the implementation of a universal preschool program in America, and provide guiding principles upon which such a system can best be founded.
