I just love sunny days! A: To tell you the truth, I don’t care for them. I don’t want to get dark. D: I do. The sun helps our bodies produce vitamin D. A: Also, it’s boiling when it’s sunny and humid. D: I won’t argue with that. However, it’s so lovely when it’s sunny, dry, and just a little windy. A: Not for me. Rainy days are still the best. D: Really? Why? A: I love the sound of rain, and it makes everything smell so clean and fresh. Part A： 丹尼斯：妳看那萬里無雲的天空，我實在好喜歡晴天！ 愛波： 老實跟你說，我不喜歡晴天。我不想曬黑。 丹尼斯：我倒是想曬黑，陽光能幫助人體製造維他命D。 愛波： 而且晴朗又潮濕的天氣簡直要把人給熱暈了。 丹尼斯：關於那點我沒話說，不過，晴朗乾燥又有微風吹拂的天氣相當怡人。 愛波： 我不覺得。還是下雨天最好。 丹尼斯：是嗎？為什麼？ 愛波： 我喜歡下雨的聲音，而且雨水讓所有的東西聞起來都好清新。 Part B April and Dennis are changing their plans because of the weather. 愛波與丹尼斯因為天氣要更改他們的計畫。 (Dennis = D ; April = A) D: I have some bad news. We have to cancel our picnic tomorrow. A: Why? It’s only a little cloudy. D: Well, I just checked the weather report, and a storm’s coming. A: What? I didn’t hear anything about a typhoon. D: No. I’m talking about a storm with thunder, lightning, and heavy rain. A: Oh, I see. What do you suggest we do? D: I don’t want to take any chances. Let’s put the picnic off. A: OK, if you think that’s the best thing to do. Part B 丹尼斯：我有個壞消息，我們必須取消明天的野餐。 愛波： 為什麼？只是有點陰天而已。 丹尼斯：嗯，我剛剛查了天氣預報，有暴風雨要來。 愛波： 什麼？我沒聽說有颱風啊。 丹尼斯：不是的，我是說有打雷、閃電和豪大雨的那種暴風雨。 愛波： 喔，原來如此。那你建議我們要怎麼做？ 丹尼斯：我完全不想冒險，就把野餐延後吧。 愛波： 好，如果你覺得那是最好的做法。 Part C April and Dennis are preparing for a bad storm. 愛波與丹尼斯在為一場強烈的暴風雪做準備。 (April = A ; Dennis = D) A: Wow! It’s really foggy out. D: It’s only going to get worse, so we need to prepare for the big snow storm. A: Right. We already have warm blankets and new batteries for the flashlights. D: Good. It’s going to be really cold and snowy. A: If it drops down to freezing, then the water in the pipes will turn into ice. D: Correct, so we need to collect and save water for drinking and cleaning. A: OK. I’ll start doing that now. D: Great. I’ll check how much food we have. Part C 愛波： 哇！外面一片霧茫茫的。 丹尼斯：天氣只會愈來愈糟，所以我們要做好準備，迎接強烈暴風雪。 愛波： 對。我們已經有保暖的毯子，也有手電筒要用的新電池。 丹尼斯：很好，天氣會變得很冷，還會下雪。 愛波： 如果氣溫降到冰點，那水管裡的水會結冰。 丹尼斯：是啊，所以我們需要儲水來飲用和清潔。 愛波： 好的，我現在就去儲水。 丹尼斯：好，我去看一下我們有多少食物。

Exploring the relationship and interaction between economic interests and normative non-trade values, this book argues that the emergence and development of non-trade values is based on a complex dialectic interaction between selfish economic interests and normative values, and examines how their structural interdependence has given rise to a remarkable evolution in international trade. Conceiving this relationship as an intricate dialectic one that is neither purely value-driven, nor purely economic-interest-driven, it addresses the emergence, function, and role of non-trade values in international trade with a synthetizing approach and explores the results of their interaction in international economic intercourse. Approaching the non-trade issues of trade in a holistic manner, the book demonstrates that trade can operate smoothly only if it is framed by an architecture of normative value standards and international trade liberalization has reached the level where further development calls for cooperation also in fields that, at first glance, may appear to be non-trade in nature.

Indigenous sociology makes visible what is meaningful in the Indigenous social world. This core premise is demonstrated here via the use of the concept of the Indigenous Lifeworld in reference to the dispossessed Indigenous Peoples from Anglo-colonized first world nations. Indigenous lifeworld is built around dual intersubjectivities: within peoplehood, inclusive of traditional and ongoing culture, belief systems, practices, identity, and ways of understanding the world; and within colonized realties as marginalized peoples whose everyday life is framed through their historical and ongoing relationship with the colonizer nation state. The Oxford Handbook of Indigenous Sociology is, in part, a response to the limited space allowed for Indigenous Peoples within the discipline of sociology. The very small existing sociological literature locates the Indigenous within the non-Indigenous gaze and the Eurocentric structures of the discipline reflect a continuing reluctance to actively recognize Indigenous realities within the key social forces literature of class, gender, and race at the discipline's center. But the ambition of this volume, its editors, and its contributors is larger than a challenge to this status quo. They do not speak back to sociology, but rather, claim their own sociological space. The starting point is to situate Indigenous sociology as sociology by Indigenous sociologists. The authors in The Oxford Handbook of Indigenous Sociology, all leading and emerging Indigenous scholars, provide an authoritative, state of the art survey of Indigenous sociological thinking. The contributions in this Handbook demonstrate that the Indigenous sociological voice is a not a version of the existing sub-fields but a new sociological paradigm that uses a distinctively Indigenous methodological approach.

Despite the Australian Constitution implying school education to be a state responsibility, the Commonwealth has increasingly interfered with state school education. The Australian Government Muscling in on School Education therefore offers a historical account of this government involvement in Australian education, from federation to the present day, providing a much-needed, fully updated and relevant overview the topic. Arguing that education has become an arena for competing political forces, this book examines the powerful influence of the Commonwealth over education and the political motives behind it, exploring how politics influences aspects of the curriculum, teaching standards, assessment and reporting, funding, teacher selection and policy more broadly. Ultimately questioning whether this influence is in the interests of the members of the community who depend on education, the book holds government engagement in education to account. Taking the major epochs of federalism as an organizing framework, the book’s chapters include explorations of: The efficiency dynamic and the progressive years (1919–39) Postwar imperatives and the Menzies years (1949–72) Coordinative federalism and treading softly: the Whitlam years (1972–5) and Fraser years (1975–83) Corporate federalism: the Hawke/Keating years (1983–96) Supply-side federalism and globalization: the Howard years (1996–2007) National control and the Rudd, Gillard, Abbott, Turnbull and Morrison years (2007–15) A thorough and significant examination of the historical engagement of the Australian government in education, this book is essential reading for student teachers and postgraduate students in education studies and politics.

Actionable strategies for the design and construction of fire-resistant structures This hands-on guide clearly explains the complex building codes and standards that relate to fire design and presents hands-on techniques engineers can apply to prevent or mitigate the effects of fire in structures. Dedicated chapters discuss specific procedures for steel, concrete, and timber buildings. You will get step-by-step guidance on how to evaluate fire resistance using both testing and calculation methods. Structural Fire Engineering begins with an introduction to the behavioral aspects of fire and explains how structural materials react when exposed to elevated temperatures. From there, the book discusses the fire design aspects of key codes and standards, such as the International Building Code, the International Fire Code, and the NFPA Fire Code. Advanced topics are covered in complete detail, including residual capacity evaluation of fire damaged structures and fire design for bridges and tunnels. Explains the fire design requirements of the IBC, IFC, the NFPA Fire Code, and National Building Code of Canada Presents design strategies for steel, concrete, and timber structures as well as for bridges and tunnels Contains downloadable spreadsheets and problems along with solutions for instructors
