The ISIS from Space cover story explores how satellite data have given RAND researchers an unprecedented look at life inside the Islamic State. A second feature — on the economic returns of early childhood investments — presents evidence that well-implemented programs work, especially for children in disadvantaged families. The Voices column features RAND Europe's Barbara Janta, who shares lessons for the United States from Britain's approach to free child care. A Q&A with Susan Marquis, RAND's distinguished chair in policy analysis and dean of the Pardee RAND Graduate School, takes readers inside workers' fights to improve conditions in the Florida tomato fields, describing how they transformed those fields into some of the best agricultural workplaces in America, without the need for new legislation, regulation, or government participation. The Giving column showcases Frank and Marcia Carlucci, longtime supporters of RAND and Pardee RAND.
