This book offers a compilation of biographies of the world's leading soldiers, sailors and airmen, from earliest times right up to the Gulf War. From Agrippa to Zhukov via Cromwell, Hitler, Napoleon, and Schwarzkopf, the 3,000 entries in this reference work provide detailed profiles of the world's greatest military leaders and thinkers. Each entry includes an overview of the subject and details of the major wars, battles and campaigns in which they participated and a narrative of their life, including an evaluation of the subject's character, abilities and contributions, together with a brief bibliography of books on each subject.

Whether written by a school psychologist, BCBA, or skilled practitioner of any variety, all behavior intervention plans face the same difficulty—the writer and implementer are not the same person. Too frequently, successful BIPs are discounted and discarded by those responsible for implementation. Many BIPs are simply filed, rather than followed. Without additional burden to time-constrained professionals, this book addresses how to effectively and efficiently increase implementation fidelity. Using a systems analysis approach to school climate, interwoven with ample case studies, school psychologists will be guided through eleven chapters of a step-by-step process to effectively create and implement behavior intervention plans.
