Jay Leeuwenburg was diagnosed with Type I Diabetes only days after his 12th birthday. From his first day in an unfamiliar Oregon hospital, 2,200 miles from his suburban St. Louis home, Jay’s attitude toward living his life to the fullest was, "Yes I Can!" He quickly accepted responsibility for managing his disease. Blessed with a combination of competitiveness, intelligence, confidence and athletic ability, he took charge of his diabetes, and thus took charge of his life. Testing his parents’ patience and his doctors’ knowledge, Jay pushed ahead with every imaginable athletic and

Poised to become the dominant Asia-Pacific power, China yet remains an elusive international player. In this timely text, Denny Roy shows how the drive for security and power underlying Chinese foreign policy is reinforced by other important factors, including China’s internal political struggles and unique, historically driven perceptions of international affairs. Providing a wide-ranging assessment of China’s foreign policy, the author explores the PRC’s relationships with key international organizations and countries, including the United States, Japan, Russia, Korea, Indi

For centuries, various great powers have both exploited and benefited Taiwan, their designs for this island frequently clashing with the desire of local inhabitants to control their own destiny. Such conflicts have shaped Taiwan?s multiple, and frequently contradictory, identities. Denny Roy contends that Taiwan?s political history is best understood as a continuous struggle for security. Eschewing the usual emphasis on the high politics of the recent era, he offers a comprehensive narrative of the island?s political history from the first Chinese settlements to the Chen Shui-bian presidency.

This book is concerned with electromechanical systems, particularly the interaction between and the control of the electrical (electronic) and mechanical components. As electronics is becoming increasingly important in controlling machines, the problems of mechanical engineering can be less and less separated from those of electronic engineering and control engineering. This graduate-level text fills a gap in the literature by considering these problems from a unified perspective; it requires only a background in undergraduate mechanical engineering as a prerequisite. The first part of the boo

This fascinating and timely book discusses these questions and investigates the possible answers that can be given response. Denny Borsboom provides an in-depth treatment of the philosophical foundations of widely used measurement models in psychology. The theoretical status of classical test theory, latent variable theory and positioned in terms of the underlying philosophy of science. Speci
