This book will help educators make sense of the many patterns and behaviors are seen in the Net Generation but not quite understood. Educating the Net Generation is a privilege and a challenge. They expect a great deal of us, just as we do of them. To find the right balance point, we need to understand each other well. We hope this book helps as you educate the Net Generation-and as they educate us.

One of the foremost challenges for contemporary Europe is the integration of new immigrants and their children. The second generation constitutes a rapidly growing and highly visible group of metropolitan youth that faces the dilemma of navigating their ethnic identities in a world that puts a premium on assimilation. This volume examines the lives of the second generation in fifteen European cities, from their educational background to their professional lives to their own cultural and religious identities“This book is both theoretically and empirically important, as no other work has been

In most IEA countries a new investment cycle in power generation is looming and a window of opportunity exists to push for a cleaner and more efficient generation portfolio and help build a more sustainable infrastructure lasting over the next 40-50 years. This book looks at recent trends and prospects for investment in power generation as well as the main drivers and barriers, giving special emphasis to the question of how uncertainties may affect investment decisions. Uncertainties on: CO2 constraints, power plant licensing, acceptability of nuclear power, local opposition, government suppor

The next generation of wireless devices and applications, called ¿third generation¿ or ¿3G,¿ combines two powerful innovations: wireless communications and the Internet. 3G is likely to provide substantial benefits to consumers, significant profits to producers of 3G products and services, and complementary benefits to related industries. To provide 3G applications most efficiently, adequate spectrum must be made available for commercial use. Delays in introducing 3G products and services can be costly. Government policy in allocating spectrum must weigh carefully all benefits and costs. I

Reducing carbon dioxide emissions from coal plants can cut greenhouse gas emissions. One option is to replace some coal power with natural gas (NG) generation, a low carbon source of electricity, by increasing the power output from underutilized NG plants. This report provides an overview of the issues. Contents: (1) Intro.; (2) Background on Gas-Fired Generation and Capacity: Trends; Factors Supporting the Boom in Gas-Fired Plant Construction; Carbon Dioxide Emissions; (3) Coal Displacement Feasibility Issues; Estimates of Displaceable Coal-Fired Generation and Emissions; Transmission System
