Deadly Lessons: Understanding Lethal School Violence

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Moore, Mark H. / Petrie, Carol V. / Braga, Anthony A., PUBLISHER: National Academy Press, How do we make sense of the tragedy of a school shooting or even draw objective conclusions from these incidents? Deadly Lessons is the outcome of the National Research Council's unique effort to glean lessons from six case studies of lethal student violence. These are powerful stories of parents and teachers and troubled youths, presenting the tragic complexity of the young shooter's social and personal circumstances in rich detail. The cases point to possible causes of violence and suggest where interventions may be most effective. Readers will come away with a better understanding of the potential threat, how violence might be prevented, and how healing might be promoted in affected communities. For each case study, Deadly Lessons relates events leading up to the violence, provides quotes from personal interviews about the incident, and explores the impact on the community. The case studies center on: -- Two separate incidents in East New York in which three students were killed and a teacher was seriously wounded. -- A shooting on the south side of Chicago in which one youth was killed and two were wounded. -- A shooting into a prayer group at a Kentucky high school in which three students were killed. -- The killing of 4 students and a teacher and the wounding of 10 others at an Arkansas middle school. -- The shooting of a popular science teacher by a teenager in Edinboro, Pennsylvania. -- A suspected copycat of Columbine in which six students were wounded in Georgia. For everyone who puzzles over these terrible incidents, Deadly Lessons offers a fresh perspective on the most fundamental of questions: Why?

Community Work Approaches to Child Welfare

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Wharf, Brian, PUBLISHER: University of Toronto Press, Community Work Approaches to Child Welfare presents a number of case studies that illustrate alternative approaches to child welfare that recognizes the strengths and tenacity of families who live in resource poor and essentially unfriendly environments (and that would drive middle class professionals to distraction). The strengths of these families can be harnessed to improve their situation and that of others. Community work approaches are provided by accessible organizations that involve families in the design and implementation of programs that affect them and that are dedicated to developing the capacity of communities to care for children and families. The case studies range from urban child welfare agencies in Toronto and Winnipeg, to the rural setting of Hazelton, B.C. and to examples of First Nation communities that have taken control of child welfare. The studies are written by Canadian scholars who are widely recognized for their innovative research and writing in community work and child welfare. Community Work Approaches to Child Welfare is also an indictment of the policies and practices that now govern the provision of child welfare services in Canada. The indictment argues that the policies that hold parents, and particularly single parent women, responsible for the care of their children without regard for the circumstances in which these families live is neither realistic nor helpful. It further holds that individualized and office based practice dominated by a paradigm of risk turns clients into objects thereby robbing them of their dignity and strengths. Community approaches make a viable alternative. Brian Wharf is Professor Emeritus, School of Social Work and Faculty of Human and Social Development, University of Victoria. During his career at this university he was Director, School of Social Work, Dean, Faculty of Human and Social Development, Professor in a multi- disciplinary graduate program and Acting Director, School of Public Administration. He is the author/editor of numerous books the most recent being Connecting Policy and Practice in the Human Services, with Brad McKenzie.

The Path of Economic Growth

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Lowe, Adolph, PUBLISHER: Cambridge University Press, The writings on the theory of economic growth share almost without exception two characteristics - they deal exclusively with steady growth or equilibrium dynamics, and they try to predict the actual course of long-term development on the basis of greatly oversimplified behaviour assumptions. This book, first published in , studies the many variants of a disequilibrium path, which growth processes pursue under the impact of major growth stimuli - changes in labour supply, in natural resources, and in technology. The study gives direction to public policies, sharply distinguishing between the requirements of market economies and of planned systems.

Ecoagriculture: Strategies to Feed the World and Save Wild

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: McNeely, Jeffrey A. / Future Harvest / Scherr, Sara J., PUBLISHER: Island Press, Although food-production systems for the world's rural poor typically have had devastating effects on the planet's wealth of genes, species, and ecosystems, that need not be the case in the future. In "Ecoagriculture," two of the world's leading experts on conservation and development examine the idea that agricultural landscapes can be designed more creatively to take the needs of human populations into account while also protecting, or even enhancing, biodiversity. They present a thorough overview of the innovative concept of "ecoagriculture" - the management of landscapes for both the production of food and the conservation of wild biodiversity. The book: examines the global impact of agriculture on wild biodiversitydescribes the challenge of reconciling biodiversity conservation and agricultural goalsoutlines and discusses the ecoagriculture approachpresents diverse case studies that illustrate key strategiesexplores how policies, markets, and institutions can be re-shaped to support ecoagricultureWhile focusing on tropical regions of the developing world -- where increased agricultural productivity is most vital for food security, poverty reduction, and sustainable development, and where so much of the world's wild biodiversity is threatened -- it also draws on lessons learned in developed countries. Dozens of examples from around the world present proven strategies for small-scale, low-income farmers involved in commercial production."Ecoagriculture" explores new approaches to agricultural production that complement natural environments, enhance ecosystem function, and improve rural livelihoods. It features a wealth of real-world case studies that demonstrate the applicability ofthe ideas discussed and how the principles can be applied, and is an important new work for policymakers, students, researchers, and anyone concerned with conserving biodiversity while sustaining human populations.

A Word or Two

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Andreae, Christopher, PUBLISHER: PublishAmerica, A walrus sort of book. Remember Lewis Carrollas verse? aaThe time has come, a the Walrus said, / aTo talk of many things: / Of shoes a and ships a and sealing-wax a / Of cabbages a and kings...aa In this book of miscellaneous essays, to , the author makes wry, funny, touching, familiar, and unexpected observations of all sorts of things that have occurred during his time spent living variously in city, country, and suburbia. (His time living on Mars goes discreetly unmentioned.) His odd mix of unpretentiously contentious themes ranges from a brusque bookseller who turns out to be affable, to a suicidal sheep who opts for life after all, to an eccentric schoolmaster who wags his finger while quoting T. S. Eliot, to the questionable state of Queen Elizabethas fingernails. Discombobulating but rarely disastrous encounters abound a with precocious six-year-olds, mischievous mice, platefuls of inedible seashells, and a quiet American in Edinburgh looking for a girl heas never met. A good bedtime, or anytime, read written by an adept wordsmith.
