Inventors such as Harold Farnes Silver can be counted among the few souls who reshape their time and place. Silver belongs in the company of such figures as Cyrus McCormick and fellow Utah natives John Moses Browning and Philo Farnsworth, for he created machines that transformed whole industries. An entrepreneur as well, he built corporations on the foundation of his inventions. He then shared his success and business acumen through civic service that strengthened the communities with which he was affiliated, especially Denver, Colorado, where he made his home. During World War II, as owner of a still fledgling business, he piloted the effort that brought inland shipyards hundreds of miles from the ocean to the city by the Rocky Mountains. As a philanthropist and as an organizer or participant in countless causes and business organizations, he left a rare legacy of public service through private means in Denver and elsewhere. Mastery of mechanical invention made Harold Silver's business and civic achievements possible. He was born into a family of mechanical engineers, craftsmen in iron and steel. Their trade was with mines, smelters, farms, and food factories, businesses whose products were the mainstays of the western economy. Sugar, from sugar beets, and coal were among the most important of those products. In the twentieth century new technology continued to alter farms and mines, but as midcentury approached, coal mines and sugar factories still employed many antiquated labor-intensive methods. Mechanization, chemistry, and automation had only begun to redefine the nature of work and production in these industries. Harold Silver had an unequaled role in creating the machinery that accelerated that process. He invented new means of receiving and processing sugar beets and extracting sugar from them, dramatically reducing labor needs and increasing production capabilities. Having revolutionized the sugar beet business, he then created a new way of obtaining sugar from its other major source, sugar cane. His influence on coal mining was perhaps even more important, earning him a place among America's greatest inventors. Silver's continuous coal miner, a teethed monster of a machine, tore out coal by the wall, moved it from the mining face, and loaded it for transport to the surface. It replaced back-breaking hand labor by miners, integrated the various tasks of several less-efficient machines, and made coal mining safer, less expensive, and more productive. Harold Silver faced a fair share of controversy and hardship along his road to achievement and success. From his youth in Salt Lake City as part of a polygamous and broken Mormon family to his own permanent break with his youngest son, episodes of personal tragedy as well as joy and public accomplishment shaped a life that has received insufficient notice.

Postmodern, istilah yang sangat menggelegar ini, telah menjadi narasi baru dalam berbagai bidang, apakah itu bidang filsafat, seni, kebudayaan, ekonomi, kemasyarakatan, dan termasuk juga, tentunya seperti diuraikan dalam buku ini, dalam bidang hukum. Tanpa terlalu banyak kasak-kusuk, paham postmodern ini ternyata telah mampu menjungkirbalikkan hampir semua paham, teori, doktrin, mitos, bahkan sesembahan umat manusia yang selama ini dianut, baik secara konservatif maupun secara moderat. Dengan sangat lantang, paham postmodern ini melabrak paham-paham lain seperti paham komunisme, sosialisme, kapitalisme, liberalisme, logika, ilmu pengetahuan, teknologi, moral dan etika, dan berbagai narasi besar lainnya. Sedikit lebih awal dari perkembangan paham postmodern ini, telah berkembang pula berbagai pola pikir yang umumnya dikembangkan oleh kaum pembangkang terhadap berbagai konsep pemikiran yang kala itu dianut oleh mayoritas umat manusia, yang kemudian melahirkan berbagai teori kritis, kanan atau kiri, semacam yang dikembangkan oleh aliran Frankfurt di Jerman. Khusus dalam bidang hukum, berkembang pula aliran yang juga mempunyai karakteristik memberontak, yaitu aliran legal realism, yang menjungkirbalikkan aliran hukum kala itu yang sangat didominasi oleh metode ilmu pengetahuan, yang berupa metode ilmiah-abstraksi-sillogisme, yang membuat hukum seakan terbang menerawang jauh dari bumi tempatnya berpijak. Ketiga faktor tersebut, yakni postmodern, aliran kritis, dan legal realism, akhirnya melahirkan suatu paham revolusioner dalam bidang hukum yang kemudian dikenal dengan the critical legal studies itu. Ternyata, aliran hukum kritis ini, dengan berbagai konsep, teori, dan analisisnya yang cukup elegan tetapi menohok itu, perkembangannya telah sangat bergema dan bergemuruh dalam teori dan filsafat hukum, sehingga dapat dipastikan bahwa ke depan, aliran hukum ini bukan lagi sekedar basa-basi pemikiran orang-orang ekstrem. Meskipun ke mana arah mereka melaju juga belum jelas benar kelihatannya. Inilah gambaran dari isi buku ini sehingga tentunya buku ini akan sangat bermanfaat, menarik, dan menggelitik bagi siapa saja sarjana hukum yang mempunyai visi dan ingin mempunyai pengetahuan tentang teori hukum yang tetap up to date. Selamat mambaca!!!

Dalam Bab 1 dibahas hubungan antara teori dan praktek, yaitu di satu pihak hubungan antara administrasi pembangunan (praktek), dan di pihak lain ilmu Administrasi Pembangunan (teori). Kemudian dalam Bab 2 diterangkan metode penelitian ilmiah yang harus dipakai dalam ilmu-ilmu sosial untuk dapat menghasilkan jenis pengetahuan ilmiah spesifik yang diperlukan itu. Kemudian dalam penutup, akhirnya dinilai kembali hasil (result) yang diperoleh dari upaya memecahkan masalah yang bersangkutan. Sebagai petunjuk untuk pembaca buku ini, barangkali berguna untuk diketahui bahwa pembagian ke dalam empat bagian tersebut berdasar logika pendekatan proses pemecahan masalah yang disajikan.

America faces a crisis in education and its accompanying effects on the nation's economic and social life. Educators and policy makers need to document the extent of this crisis, to gauge its potential impact, and to develop educational strategies that would boost achievement; this has turned the spotlight on educational assessment - the procedures, practices, and tools that educators use to measure the progress of students, both as individuals and groups. This book deals with a range of issues within the field of educational assessment, with an emphasis on those issues that have sparked the public policy debate in recent years. Much of this volume concerns itself with the impact of testing on various subgroups of the population - blacks, Hispanics, young children, and children considered to be of `below average' ability. Taken together, the contributions to this volume represent a broad range of views on differential test performance. (This book is part of the subseries of books based on the Ford Foundation's National Commission on Testing and Public Policy. Previous titles in this program include Gifford & Wing/Test in Defense, Gifford & O'Connor/Changing Assessments, Gifford/Test Policy and the Politics of Opportunity Allocation, and Gifford/Test Policy and Test Performance.)

This work provides a cross-section of current research on second-language speech. Issues covered include: the influence of the first language; the contexts of speech-sounding learning; the perception-production relation; the nature of speech language capacity.
One of the fundamental goals of theoretical linguistics is to make explicit the
language learner's internalized grammar. To this end, the study of an inter-
language phonology - particularly a foreign accent - is a way to investigate and
