Maryland Notary Public Handbook 2027

Independent Guide: Become a Maryland Notary, Complete the Course, Perform Every Notarial Act, Avoid Costly Mistakes

Liberating Voices in School

A collection of eye-opening natural experiments, showing how economists uncover cause-and-effect relationships and reveal insights about our world. Does having a daughter change how a congressperson votes? How did a nineteenth-century doctor help discover germs? Is it better to go first or second in a penalty shootout? Why don’t diplomats pay their parking tickets? Do leaders really matter? These are all questions economists ask. Some of these questions are serious, others less consequential. But all are interesting—and can be answered by way of the natural experiment. A natural experiment is an event in the real world that neatly divides people into a treatment group and a control group—and it is one of the greatest tools in the economist’s toolkit. In Daughters, Diplomats, and Death, Patrick Gourley discusses why and how economists have leveraged this powerful method to answer questions that were long thought unanswerable. In the vein of Freakonomics, Nudge, and The Tipping Point, the book takes the reader on a lively and engaging tour of some of the most fascinating natural experiments, explaining how they work, how they help social scientists answer questions, and what conclusions they reached. The experiments illuminate a wide range of timely issues in health, education, reproductive issues, and the environment, lending rich and much-needed nuance to the complex debates that shape today’s headlines.

How Economists Use Natural Experiments to Decipher Our World

Daughters, Diplomats, and Death

Physical education (PE) is a significant component of children's balanced development because it connects physical activity with physical literacy, health, social interaction, confidence, and lifelong participation in active lifestyles. It should not be understood simply as a period for playing games or releasing energy. Quality physical education provides structured opportunities through which children learn movement skills, develop physical competence, understand health, cooperate with others, and develop positive attitudes towards physical activity. 
The importance of physical activity during childhood is well established. The World Health Organization (WHO) recommends that children and adolescents aged 5-17 years undertake an average of at least 60 minutes of moderate-to-vigorous physical activity each day, including activities that strengthen muscles and bones at least three days a week. Physical education at school is one of the institutional settings through which children can acquire the knowledge, skills and confidence necessary to become physically active.

What lies underneath digital platforms—their invisible architecture and governance that determine everything visible. Every time you unlock your phone, stream a show, or start your car, you’re entering a world shaped by thousands of engineering decisions you’ll never see. Most platform conversations fixate on their visible canopy—business models, user experience, competitive strategy—the “leaves,” in a sense. Platforms by Amrit Tiwana excavates their roots. The book begins with a simple DNA test that separates authentic from faux platforms, then traces the forces turning tractors, pacemakers, and elevators into platforms. Using the platform trinity, the author explores principles behind why platforms behave so differently, why superior technology doesn’t always win, and why—unlike products that reach a final form—platforms never stop evolving. From there the book explains platforms’ two hidden root systems: The first system, architecture, shows how Lego-like “modular” design, frozen interfaces, and prefab building blocks let thousands of outsiders contribute pieces that snap into colossal systems. The second system, governance, describes where architecture confronts human behavior. Elegant architecture flails with poor governance, so both demand discipline.

Studies in Postwar American Political Development

Corporations in the United States have for many decades sought to preserve and extend their power by claiming attributes and privileges reserved for natural persons.

Liberalism and the Reinvention of the Modern Corporation presents a political history of corporate "identity politics." Wielding arguments derived from social movements in search of equity and equality, corporate advocates used identity-based claims not to "right" historical wrongs, but to peel back popular regulations designed to provide access to healthcare, safer workplaces and communities, and elections free from the influence of concentrated wealth. Looking beyond the courtroom, Kathleen J. Frydl argues that members of Congress played the decisive role in securing identity-based corporate powers. By couching their efforts to assist corporations as "fair play," legislators turned modern liberalism into a strictly procedural philosophy, devoid of substantive claims and uninterested in power differentials. In a sweeping narrative, Liberalism and the Reinvention of the Modern Corporation places corporate identity politics at the heart of the modern conservative movement, the crisis of liberalism, and the fractured politics that define the current American political moment.

Liberalism and the Reinvention of the Modern Corporation

This book bridges a critical gap in macroeconomics and development economics. Using a series of micro-founded models of endogenous growth, based on the Allais-Samuelson overlapping generations (OLG) approach, it explores how gender gaps in education, labor supply, earnings, and political participation interact with economic performance and public policy. It examines the role of entrenched social norms regarding women's role and evaluates the impact of targeted interventions such as childcare subsidies, pay transparency legislation, and investments in human capital, health, and infrastructure. Combining analytical rigor with calibrated simulations, the book provides a policy-relevant lens for understanding gender-based constraints and policies in developing economies, with case studies including Brazil and Morocco. It will be a valuable pedagogical resource for graduate-level courses in macroeconomics and development economics, as well as specialized modules in labor economics and public economics.

An Overlapping Generations Approach

Gender Equality and Economic Growth

This edited book addresses the paradox of sustainability amidst the complexities of economics, enterprises, environment, and society. It delves into the economic, social, and environmental dimensions, examining not only the interconnections and alignments, but also the conflicts across various levels of sustainable development.&nbsp;With the United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) as a backdrop, the book addresses the trending topic of sustainability among economists, scholars, practitioners, environmentalists, policymakers, and the general public. Despite the SDGs’ projected realization by the 2090s, significant "why not" challenges remain. Current research, policies, and practices are often fragmented, relying on specialized or professional works.The contents of this book transcend geographical, sectorial, and professional boundaries to examine the intersections and paradoxes among the three dimensions of sustainability, provoking further debates and generating societal impacts. The book is divided into four parts: the first three present original research from various disciplines addressing specific concerns of each sustainability dimension. The fourth part includes perspectives of practitioners such as founders of social enterprises and non-profits, alongside editorial analysis of the complexities and paradoxes of sustainability for theoretical, practical, and policy recommendations.Adopting a holistic approach, this book offers actionable insights and strategies to address sustainability challenges, fostering ecosystem resilience and long-term global development.

This edited book examines the paradox of sustainability across the intertwined realms of economics, enterprises, environment, and society. It delves into the economic, social, and environmental dimensions of sustainable development, analyzing their interconnections, alignments, and persistent conflicts across multiple levels.&nbsp;Against the backdrop of the United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), the book engages with one of the most pressing global debates of our time. Although the SDGs are projected to be fully realized only by the 2090s, significant "why not" challenges remain. Current research, policies, and practices often&nbsp;operate in silos, relying on specialized or profession-specific approaches that overlook systemic tensions.Transcending geographical, sectorial, and disciplinary boundaries, this book brings together diverse perspectives to illustrate the intersections and paradoxes among the three dimensions of sustainability. It&nbsp;provokes deeper debate and aims to generate meaningful societal impact. The book is organized into four parts: the first three present original research addressing the specific concerns of each sustainability dimension,&nbsp;while the fourth offers business cases, management perspectives, and a concluding editorial synthesis. This final chapter highlights the complexities and paradoxes of sustainability and proposes&nbsp;sustainable innovation as a pathway toward triple alignment across economic, social, and environmental goals.Adopting a holistic and integrative approach, the book provides actionable insights and strategies for addressing sustainability challenges, strengthening ecosystem resilience, and advancing long-term global development.

The studies collected in this volume offer multidisciplinary perspectives on modern Gdäsk. The chapters provide insight into the city's literature and culture, analysing works by leading Polish authors, exploring the complexities of the commemoration of the Jewish presence, as well as illuminating the city's Christian heritage, enshrined in its Bibles and churches. A similar focus on the past and the present marks the studies of the models of education in Gdäsk before the Second World War and after the fall of communism. Finally, linguistic analyses of internet corpora address the issues of the living language spoken in Gdäsk as well as used to describe the city. Collectively, the contributors paint a picture of an open, vibrant and innovative city proud of its multicultural and multilingual past.

These political, philosophical, and literary essays mark the first collection of theoretical writing from the acclaimed novelist and French feminist writer Monique Wittig. “Among the most provocative and compelling feminist political visions since The Second Sex. These essays represent the radical extension of de Beauvoir’s theory, its unexpected lesbian future. Wittig’s theoretical insights are both precise and far-reaching, and her theoretical style is bold, incisive, even shattering.” —Judith Butler, Johns Hopkins University

A clear, nontechnical guide to why cryptocurrency exists, how it reshapes trust and money, and why it matters beyond speculation. How do we build trust in a digital world where institutions, platforms, and intermediaries increasingly mediate money, identity, and ownership? In Cryptocurrency and Blockchain, Marco Di Maggio offers an essential guide to cryptocurrencies and blockchains—two of the most misunderstood technological and economic transformations of the digital age. Rather than focusing on price charts, hype cycles, or programming details, Di Maggio explains why these technologies exist, what problems they attempt to solve, and why they matter for people who are not crypto insiders. Using plain language, analogies, and real-world examples, the book explains how cryptocurrencies reshape core concepts of money, property, markets, and governance. The author explores topics such as how and why Bitcoin is used as a financial fallback, what stablecoins are and how they have become critical infrastructure for global payments, and how NFTs introduced a new notion of ownership and identity on the internet. Written for curious readers, journalists, students, policymakers, and professionals, Cryptocurrency provides a conceptual framework for understanding crypto as infrastructure, not ideology—helping readers see past the noise to grasp the deeper forces reshaping money, trust, and coordination in the digital economy.
