In recent years, new areas of Egyptological research have opened up, and aspects briefly examined in the past have come under more concentrated focus. Chariot construction, harnesses and equipment, and the use of chariots, especially in battle, have been well-examined and understood, but the driving force of the chariot ? the horse ? has been overlooked, until now. This publication sheds light, for the first time, on the real origins of the Egyptian horse and tells the story of its journey to the valley of the Nile. Using the beauty and the informative detail contained in a myriad of tombs and temples, as well as the osteological evidence, Dr Turner has revealed the nature and appearance of the Egyptian horse and the changes that took place in it over time as the Egyptians mastered its use and adapted it to their specific needs.00As Egypt began to adapt to this new resource, ownership and use of the horse percolated through the social hierarchy from the pharaoh downwards. It avoided mundane uses and always remained a special creature, instilled with spirit, energy and prestige, and a particular source of pride for those fortunate enough to possess a chariot team. Egypt was irrevocably changed by the arrival of the horse, Equus Caballus. Aggressive kings used massed chariot divisions to create and expand Egypt's New Kingdom empire. New occupations and new logistical activities and technologies developed to support them, and the appreciation of the horse per se seeped into art and literature.

Why does our society think it is okay to hit children? Almost everyone thinks it is wrong to abuse a child. But many parents and teachers believe it is okay to spank children, rap their knuckles, slap their faces, pull their hair and yank their arms, as long as the punishment does not result in serious injury or death, and is intended to improve a child’s behaviour. Susan M. Turner explores the historical, psychological, sociological and legal foundations of this belief from a philosophical perspective and argues why it should be abandoned. Something to Cry About presents evidence from recent studies showing that all forms of corporal punishment pose significant risks for children and that none improves behaviour in the long term. Dr. Turner also examines Section 43 of the Canadian Criminal Code — a law that protects those who punish children in their care by allowing them to hit the children as long as such punishment is “reasonable,” even though Canadian case law shows that “reasonable” has included breaking a child’s fingers. Turner presents a comprehensive argument in favour of repeal. In Something to Cry About, Turner takes a definite stand, but does so in a way that invites critical dialogue. Her work is the first to set out the debate over corporal punishment in multidisciplinary terms pertinent to Canadian society. She brings together in one place a wide variety of thought and data which can be consulted by all Canadians concerned with the welfare of children.

In 1986, with the help of the Bureau of Justice Assistance, U.S. Department of Justice, three California counties (Los Angeles, Ventura, and Contra Costa) designed an experiment to implement intensive supervision probation (ISP) programs as an alternative form of supervision for high-risk probationers. This report focuses on the outcomes of the three ISP programs. The California ISPs had higher failure rates than ISP programs in other states. The findings indicate that this higher failure rate occurred because the offenders in the California demonstration samples were more serious and at higher risk of recidivism. Moreover, the California ISP participants had arrest rates virtually identical to those for offenders on routine probation or parole. The results suggest that ISP programs, as implemented in this study, are not effective for high-risk offenders--if effectiveness is judged solely by recidivism rates. In addition, greater emphasis on drug treatment is particularly important for ISP.
