Children born into disadvantage are, by the time they start kindergarten, already at risk of dropping out of school, teen pregnancy, crime, and a lifetime of low-wage work. This is bad for all those born into disadvantage and bad for American society.Current social and education policies directed toward children focus on improving cognition, yet success in life requires more than smarts. Heckman calls for a refocus of social policy toward early childhood interventions designed to enhance both cognitive abilities and such non-cognitive skills as confidence and perseverance. This new focus on preschool intervention would emphasize improving the early environments of disadvantaged children and increasing the quality of parenting while respecting the primacy of the family and America's cultural diversity. Heckman shows that acting early has much greater positive economic and social impact than later interventions--which range from reduced pupil-teacher ratios to adult literacy programs to expenditures on police--that draw the most attention in the public policy debate. At a time when state and local budgets for early interventions are being cut, Heckman issues an urgent call for action and offers some practical steps for how to design and pay for new programs.The debate that follows delves deeply into some of the most fraught questions of our time: the sources of inequality, the role of schools in solving social problems, and how to invest public resources most effectively. Mike Rose, Geoffrey Canada, Charles Murray, Carol Dweck, Annette Lareau, and other prominent experts participate.Boston review book.Children with social disabilitiesEducation (Early childhood)United StatesEducational equalizationUnited StatesUnited StatesSocial policyEDUCATION/GeneralSOCIAL SCIENCES/Political Science/Public Policy & LawChildren with social disabilitiesEducation (Early childhood)Educational equalization372.210973Heckman James J(James Joseph),1134986OCoLC-POCoLC-PBOOK9910779402903321Giving kids a fair chance3838883UNINA01249nas 2200409- 450 991039275750332120241204164907.0(OCoLC)905868912(CKB)3880000000004476(CONSER)--2015201944(DE-599)ZDB3021483-X(EXLCZ)99388000000000447620150330a20159999 --- aengur|||||||||||txtrdacontentcrdamediacrrdacarrierBioProducts businessMonona, WI :Society of Wood Science and Technology,[2016-]Refereed/Peer-reviewed2378-1394 Forest products industryPeriodicalsWood productsPeriodicalsForest products industryfast(OCoLC)fst00932372Wood productsfast(OCoLC)fst01179332Periodicals.fastForest products industryWood productsForest products industry.Wood products.338Society of Wood Science and Technology (U.S.)JOURNAL9910392757503321BioProducts business2579029UNINA03832nam 22006135 450 991101876390332120250806181205.03-031-97035-710.1007/978-3-031-97035-1(MiAaPQ)EBC32253181(Au-PeEL)EBL32253181(CKB)40083127600041(DE-He213)978-3-031-97035-1(EXLCZ)994008312760004120250806d2025 u| 0engurcnu||||||||txtrdacontentcrdamediacrrdacarrierThe Drosophila Model in Cancer Volume II /edited by Wu-Min Deng, Cayetano Gonzaléz1st ed. 2025.Cham :Springer Nature Switzerland :Imprint: Springer,2025.1 online resource (492 pages)Advances in Experimental Medicine and Biology,2214-8019 ;14823-031-97034-9 Chapter 1.

SVC112; from hummingbirds to Head and Neck Cancer.This volume brings together a series of review articles that highlight new advances in using the fruit fly, Drosophila melanogaster, to study a wide range of cancer-related topics. Building on the foundation of Volume I, the articles demonstrate how research in Drosophila continues to uncover important developmental, cellular, and molecular mechanisms underlying tumor growth, progression, and systemic interactions. Readers will appreciate how the fly’s simple genetics and powerful experimental tools make it a flexible and effective model for studying cancer. Drosophila offers unique opportunities to answer key questions about how uncontrolled cell proliferation begins and progresses into cancer—questions that can be very difficult to explore in other systems. This book is a valuable resource for researchers interested in using the Drosophila model to better understand cancer biology and to help find new strategies to combat this disease.Advances in Experimental Medicine and Biology,2214-8019 ;1482CancerCancerAnimal modelsCancerGenetic aspectsCancer BiologyCancer ModelsCancer Genetics and GenomicsCancersCancer.CancerAnimal models.CancerGenetic aspects.Cancer Biology.Cancer Models.Cancer Genetics and Genomics.Cancers.571.978616.994Deng Wu-Min1836017Gonzaléz Cayetano1836018MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9911018763903321The Drosophila Model in Cancer4413635UNINA
