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.

France shows no signs of relinquishing its remaining overseas outposts which are located from the tropics to the poles--Martinique, Guadeloupe, French Guiana, Saint Pierre, and Miquelon in the western hemisphere, Reunion and Mayotte in the Indian Ocean, New Caledonia, French Polynesia and Wallis and Futuna in the Pacific as well as its claims on Antarctica and several sub-Antarctic islands. France's Overseas Frontier examines the DOM-TOMs in the context of France's colonial history and contemporary politics. It devotes chapters to constitutional change, demographic and economic development, politics, culture and identity, the strategic and geopolitical interests of France in the DOM-TOMs, and the emergence of independence movements in several of the territories.

Phantom: A Harry Hole thriller (Oslo Sequence 7)

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Nesbo, Jo, PUBLISHER: Random House, Following from Jo Nesbo's electrifying international best-sellers "The Snowman" and "The Leopard," now comes "Phantom," which plunges the brilliant, deeply troubled, now former police officer Harry Hole into a full-tilt investigation on which his own tenuous future will come to depend. When Harry left Oslo again for Hong Kong--fleeing the traumas of life as a cop--he thought he was there for good. But then the unthinkable happened. The son of the woman he loved, lost, and still loves is arrested for murder: Oleg, the boy Harry helped raise but couldn't help deserting when he fled. Harry has come back to prove that Oleg is not a killer. Barred from rejoining the police force, he sets out on a solitary, increasingly dangerous investigation that takes him deep into the world of the most virulent drug to ever hit the streets of Oslo (and the careers of some of the city's highest officials), and into the maze of his own past, where he will find the wrenching truth that finally matters to Oleg, and to himself.

His one, all-consuming thought is of his beloved wife, who had been with him on the ill-fated ship. "Present Day"--It should have been a fatal accident, but Amanda Poole inexplicably vanishes from her car the instant before it crashes. She is shaken but untouched, except for certain strange and unwanted abilities that she now possesses. Her well-ordered life as curator of Pittock Mansion begins to crumble, as Amanda realizes that someone, or something, wants her dead. The heavenly thread that binds these two seemingly unrelated lives stretches back to Amanda's troubled childhood and to Michael's idyllic marriage.

As their nightmares become real and every belief is tested, they find that all paths lead to the Angel's Key and to lost legends of angels and demons.

Struggle for Hegemony in India : The Colonial State,

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Joshi, Shashi, PUBLISHER: Sage Publications (CA), Struggle for Hegemony in India describes the role of the Communist Party of India during the freedom struggle () and constructs the experience of its interaction with others as well as with social and political reality. By combining the perspectives of "history from below" with "history from above," this study sharpens the reader's understanding of historical events and processes. Moreover, the author places macro-structures such as the colonial state, political parties, trade unions, and mobilizations of workers and peasants in a context of interaction and interdependence. Students of history, sociology, and political science will find this important book essential reading. "Shashi Joshi displays considerable grasp of detail without losing sight of the broad contours of her story, which is related with fluent authority. She is clearly well-grounded in Marxist literature and has placed her thesis of Communist failure within the matrix of Marxist concepts." --Asian Affairs

Owst's Preaching in Medieval England has remained a seminal work on the topic of English sermons of the period . In studying a largely neglected but important aspect of the medieval religious experience, the author adds considerably to our understanding of the pre-Reformation church. The book is in three parts - the preachers, the circumstances of the preaching and reception, and the sermons themselves. In the first section Owst discusses the different classes of preacher, the secular clergy, monks and particularly the wandering friars, famous for their preaching. In the second part he studies the experience of sermons, how, where and when they were delivered, and to whom. The examination of the sermons covers not only their content and language, but also the surviving manuals on preaching and eloquence, and advice to preachers. This wide ranging and scholarly book remains a crucial work on medieval preaching. Acquista Ora
