Songs from an Earlier Century

"Spector disentangles the dilemmas of corruption control by asking "what works?" – a question he answers on levels ranging from history and institutions to human psychology. Corruption is often a process of negotiation, and this book shows how we can help such negotiations fail. In these pages, reformers, scholars and citizens will find new challenges and fresh perspectives on age-old problems." 
Michael Johnston, Charles A. Dana Professor of Political Science, Emeritus, Colgate University, USA

"Spector brings his decades-long experience in combating corruption to produce an impressive analysis of why reform efforts to eradicate corruption have had only minimal success. It is a must read for policy makers concerned with finding new pathways to sustainably tackle corruption." 
Shaukat Hassan, former Senior Policy Advisor, Canadian International Development Agency

"Fighting corruption is incredibly hard. Few have more experience designing, implementing and assessing anti-corruption programs than Dr. Spector. Students of governance, reformers, and anti-corruption practitioners should keep this book nearby to chart their course through treacherous waters." 
Juhani Grossmann, Team Leader, Basel Institute on Governance, Switzerland

&quot;THE VANDERBEEKERS TO THE RESCUE is almost a case study in why these kinds of series are so captivating for young readers: Above all, while the happy ending might be a foregone conclusion, there is great satisfaction in seeing how their favorite characters untangle the knot this time.&rdquo; - The New York Times.&nbsp;&nbsp; &quot;Once again Glaser produces a charming novel reminiscent of classic and contemporary family story mainstays by Edward Eager, Jeanne Birdsall, and others, but she adds depth with racial diversity, evocative city details, and complex socio-economic issues.... Satisfying as a stand-alone and a welcome return for those who consider the Vanderbeekers part of their own family.&quot;&#160;&mdash;Kirkus&nbsp;&nbsp; &quot;Glaser ticks all the boxes of a classic middle-grade ensemble piece....funny, with character-grounded quirkiness, just enough slapstick, and no winking over kids&rsquo; heads....The whole thing is a little retro, very welcoming to the reader, and sweet to the core.&quot;&mdash;Horn Book&nbsp;&nbsp; &quot;Glaser manages the large cast of characters with ease.... A satisfying addition to the Vanderbeeker series.&quot;&mdash;Booklist&nbsp;&nbsp; &#160;

The authors have given us a tour de force analysis of school climate in all of its complexity. They systematically analyze key problems in the study of bullying, cyberbullying, sexual victimization, and teacher aggression, among other topics, and in each chapter identify conceptual and methodological problems and propose new directions for research and practice. They bolster their arguments with compelling examples and empirical evidence from their many years of
international research. They argue thoughtfully and persuasively for broadening our conception of bullying and peer aggression, raising cogent points that should influence all future research in this field. The book is a cornucopia of research ideas and insights that every researcher of peer aggression
and school climate will find invaluable. This work will inspire new directions and advances in school climate research.
