Unlike the many volumes on research that are mostly theoretical, this book originated in the classroom and grew out of the students' own needs to design and conduct satisfactory research in order to meet academic requirements. It is also designed to help experienced researchers in their research ventures. In fulfilling this purpose, the author uses simple, straightforward language. He also provides appropriate examples and illustrations to enable the reader to grasp the basic concepts of research. The book will prove a useful guide for students and researchers in social sciences and humanities who wish to transform research theory into real and feasible research projects.Social sciencesResearchMethodologyHumanitiesResearchMethodologyElectronic books.Social sciencesResearchMethodology.HumanitiesResearchMethodology.300.72Mligo Elia Shabani900740MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910465610203321Introduction to research methods and report writing2058180UNINA02126oam 2200505zu 450 99620919890331620210807003248.0(CKB)111026746708138(SSID)ssj0000451175(PQKBManifestationID)12156249(PQKBTitleCode)TC0000451175(PQKBWorkID)10460270(PQKB)11685513(EXLCZ)9911102674670813820160829d1993 uy engtxtccrLEOS 1993, Summer Topical Meeting Digest on Optical Microwave Interactions, July 19-21, 1993 ; Visible Semiconductor Lasers, July 21-22, 1993 ; Impact of Fiber Nonlinearities on Lightwave Systems, July 26-27, 1993 ; Hybrid Optoelectronic Integration and Pa[Place of publication not identified]Institute of Electronics and Electrical Engineers1993Bibliographic Level Mode of Issuance: Monograph0-7803-1284-8 Optoelectronic devicesCongressesMicrowave opticsCongressesMicrowave integrated circuitsCongressesNonlinear opticsCongressesElectrooptical devicesCongressesEngineering & Applied SciencesHILCCApplied PhysicsHILCCOptoelectronic devicesMicrowave opticsMicrowave integrated circuitsNonlinear opticsElectrooptical devicesEngineering & Applied SciencesApplied Physics621.381/3Lasers and Electro-optics Society (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers)LEOS Summer Topical MeetingsPQKBBOOK996209198903316LEOS 1993, Summer Topical Meeting Digest on Optical Microwave Interactions, July 19-21, 1993 ; Visible Semiconductor Lasers, July 21-22, 1993 ; Impact of Fiber Nonlinearities on Lightwave Systems, July 26-27, 1993 ; Hybrid Optoelectronic Integration and Pa2538185UNISA03395nam 2200565 450 991016270740332120221225221823.00-300-22768-X10.12987/9780300227680(CKB)3710000001044016(DE-B1597)540365(DE-B1597)9780300227680(MiAaPQ)EBC5268832(OCoLC)971018865(Au-PeEL)EBL5268832(CaONFJC)MIL990497(MiAaPQ)EBC7022540(Au-PeEL)EBL7022540(EXLCZ)99371000000104401620221225h20172017 uy 0engur|||||||||||txtrdacontentcrdamediacrrdacarrierPresidents' secrets the use and abuse of hidden power /Mary GrahamNew Haven, Connecticut :Yale University Press,[2017]©20171 online resource (256 p.)0-300-22374-9 Includes bibliographical references and index.Frontmatter -- CONTENTS -- ACKNOWLEDGMENTS -- Introduction -- 1.

Barack Obama: A Twenty-First-Century Bargain? -- Conclusion -- NOTES -- INDEXHow presidents use secrecy to protect the nation, foster diplomacy, and gain power Ever since the nation's most important secret meeting-the Constitutional Convention-presidents have struggled to balance open, accountable government with necessary secrecy in military affairs and negotiations. For the first one hundred and twenty years, a culture of open government persisted, but new threats and technology have long since shattered the old bargains. Today, presidents neither protect vital information nor provide the open debate Americans expect. Mary Graham tracks the rise in governmental secrecy that began with surveillance and loyalty programs during Woodrow Wilson's administration, explores how it developed during the Cold War, and analyzes efforts to reform the secrecy apparatus and restore oversight in the 1970s. Chronicling the expansion of presidential secrecy in the Bush years, Graham explains what presidents and the American people can learn from earlier crises, why the attempts of Congress to rein in stealth activities don't work, and why presidents cannot hide actions that affect citizens' rights and values.PresidentsUnited StatesDecision makingOfficial secretsUnited StatesFreedom of informationUnited StatesExecutive privilege (Government information)United StatesPresidentsDecision making.Official secretsFreedom of informationExecutive privilege (Government information)352.3790973Graham Mary1944-1074260MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910162707403321Presidents' Secrets2572119UNINA
