From the publisher: "Periodic, high-profile incidents of school violence both in the United States and around the world have understandably resulted in public demand for increased school safety. This demand has, in turn, led to school safety policies and practices that have raced ahead of empirical research. This situation is now changing. In both the United States and across the world a continuing flow of government-funded research studies now make it possible for schools and communities to implement school safety programs that are founded on sound scientific research. This 41-chapter handbook is the first attempt to comprehensively profile (on a worldwide basis) the emerging field of school violence and safety research and practice. It covers the full range of school violence from harassment and bullying to serious physical assault. It also examines existing school safety programs and the research and theories that guide them. Examinations of current issues and projections of future research and practice are embedded within the discussions. In short, it helps map the boundaries of this rapidly growing, multidisciplinary field of study. Key features of this important new book include: Balance of Breadth and Depth. Coverage includes 41 chapters that provide an in-depth profile of the following aspects of school violence and school safety: 1. foundations 2. assessment and measurement 3. prevention and intervention, and 4. implementation. ? Evidence-based Practice. Avoiding a one-size-fits-all approach to prevention and intervention, the focus throughout is on the application of evidence-based practice to those factors most commonly associated with school violence and safety. Implications for Practice. A critical component of each chapter is a summary table delineating the implications for practice of the foregoing research.". First Printing of the First Edition.

Hardcover. Condition: Very Good. 1st Edition. 2 volumes in one: 384 pages with plates, diagrams, tables and index; 384 pages with diagrams, plates, tables and index. Royal octavo (9 1/4" x 6 3/4") bound in half green cloth with marbled stiff boards. Volumex XXXII (32) and XXXIII (33). (Bibliotheca van der Linde-Niemeijeriana:5957) First editions.  The Wiener Schachzeitung, an Austrian chess magazine, published in German which was one of the great magazines of chess ran from 1898 through 1916 and then from 1923 through 1938. Originally founded in 1855 by Ernst Falkbeer, but was only published for nine months. In 1887 it enjoyed a rebirth, but even this publication lasted only nine months. In 1898 Hugo Fahndrich, Alexander Halprin and Georg Marco re-established the name again. As time went on Georg Marco became the sole editor and even the publisher. Marco edited the magazine until 1914 and during that period it became the best chess magazines in the world (Golombek:342). When it was renamed in 1923 it was called the Neu Wiener Schach-Zeitung and was edited by I R Wahle and A Lewitt; however, within a year it had recaptured its old title and in 1926 another great editor, Albert Becker, took over. With the German invasion of Austria, it ceased publication. An attempt to revive it after the end of World War II failed. The witty pen of Hans Kmoch gave distinction to the magazine and every now and then he would edit a faschings (carnival) number that was genuinely funny. Condition: 2 volumes bound together.
