Written in a language rarely heard in modern devotion, the poems in "Rib Cage" show old communities disintegrating, extended families dispersing, and people in economic or personal distress struggling for dignity and a clear sense of their predicaments.

Human Development Report: International Cooperation at a

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: United Nations Development Program, PUBLISHER: Oxford University Press, USA, Five years after signing the Millennium Declaration, and at the start of the 10-year countdown to the target date for the Millennium Development Goals, the world's governments are at a crossroads. If they continue with business as usual, will be the year in which the pledge of the Millennium Declaration is broken. If they act now to deliver on their pledges to the world's poorest people, they can make the start of a decade for development, helping countries to get back on track for achieving the Millennium Development Goals by and forging a new, more equitable pattern of globalization. This year's Human Development Report takes stock of human development, including progress towards the MDGs. Looking beyond statistics, it highlights the human costs of missed targets and broken promises. Extreme inequality between countries and within countries is identified as one of the main barriers to human development--and as a powerful brake on accelerated progress towards the MDGs. New approaches to international cooperation are vital if the promise of the Millennium Declaration is to be realized. Practical action is needed to make the next 10 years a "decade for development." Focusing on aid, trade and security--three of the central pillars of international cooperation-- Human Development Report sets out a bold analysis of the problems and identifies solutions. It argues that rich countries need to move beyond encouraging words to align their policies with the commitments made in the Millennium Declaration.

Young children are curious about almost everything, especially their bodies. And young children are not afraid to ask questions. What makes me a girl? What makes me a boy?

Through lively, comfortable language and sensitive, engaging artwork, Robie H. Harris and Michael Emberley address readers in a reassuring way, mindful of a child's healthy desire for straightforward information.

Socioemotional Development and Health from Adolescence to

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Pulkkinen, Lea / Kaprio, Jaakko / Rose, Richard, PUBLISHER: Cambridge University Press, This book is based on two longitudinal studies of behavior development, both conducted in Finland, a living laboratory setting for longitudinal research. Much of the book reports results from a longitudinal study begun in Jyvaskyla, Finland, in , when its participants were school children. This longitudinal study is complemented by two Finnish twin-family studies, with parallel measures and overlapping aims, to yield insights into genetic and environmental sources of variation in early development and later outcomes. An array of findings from the two sets of longitudinal studies are presented, set within a theoretical framework of socioemotional development, and focused on both individual and familial predictors of health-related outcomes from childhood to early adulthood. Many contributors to this edited volume represent a second-tier of Finnish-USA collaborators. They analyzed data from the longitudinal studies as part of their advanced training, and their contributions to the book report recent results of such analyses.
