When Mr and Mrs Little (Hugh Laurie and Geena Davis) visit an
orphanage to find a brother for their son George (Jonathan
Lipnicki) they come away with a charming talking mouse called
Stuart. After initial misgivings, George and Stuart begin to get on
famously, and everything seems to be going perfectly; but unknown
to the family, the neighbourhood cats have ganged together with the
sole intention of getting rid of Stuart. Co-written by M. Night
Shyamalan ('The Sixth Sense') and featuring state-of-the-art
computer-generated effects and Michael J. Fox as the voice of
Stuart.
In this sequel to 'Lady and the Tramp', the original duo's
offspring, mischievous pup Scamp (voiced by Scott Wolf), is always
getting into trouble. After running away from home he meets lovely
stray Angel (Alyssa Milano) and the streetwise Buster (Chazz
Palminteri), who enrolls Scamp in the Junkyard Dogs gang. However,
how long will Scamp be happy in his new, collar-free surroundings?
Wife, mother, and award-winning producer of the sleeper hit "What
the Bleep Do We Know ?" Betsy Chasse thought she had it all figured
out...until she realized she didn't. She didn't know anything about
happiness, love, spirituality, or herself...nothing, nada, zilch.
In a book that's anything but quiet, Chasse takes readers on a
playful romp through the muddy fields of life and spirituality.
Witty, yet unflinching, Chasse exposes her own experience tipping
sacred cows and dissects the fragile beliefs we all hold so dear.
Because the truth is, we each have a choice to believe the stories
we tell ourselves or create new ones.
A candid, no-nonsense confession, Chasse's story gives readers the
freedom to break free from their old patterns and gleefully frolic
through fields, cow tipping at will and in the process, create a
new reality for themselves.
John R. Commons is one of the few reformers of the past century
whose major works are still actively read, whose ideas are still
debated, and whose principles are still applied to the analysis of
contemporary problems. His life spanned the years of America's
"Great Transformation," from a nation of shopkeepers, farmers, and
small towns to one of giant corporations, landless laborers, and
crowded cities. He became involved in almost every aspect of
America's response to the damaging side effects of that
transformation. A Worker's Economist begins with John Commons'
childhood and education and continues through his life as a
scholar, teacher, administrator, and reformer. Commons' list of
accomplishments are great in number and overall effect. He worked
on the staff of the first government commission to investigate the
economic and social consequences of corporate mergers. He served as
a public representative on the commission that investigated
industrial violence and workplace relations. He was a participant
observer in America's largest and most historic mineworkers'
strike. He wrote and administered the nation's first constitutional
worker compensation law. He developed principles of social reform
and public administration that his students carried into the design
and administration of the Social Security system as well as Lyndon
B. Johnson's War on Poverty. John Dennis Chasse reviews Commons'
major works, describes the people with whom he worked, and follows
the fortunes of the unions that were intrinsic to his vision of
"collective democracy." As a final testament to Commons'
importance, Chasse considers his legacy as it endures in the work
of his students and beyond.
Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not
used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad
quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are
images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to
keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the
original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain
imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made
available for future generations to enjoy.

Im Buch wird aus Schilderungen von Kindern deutlich, wie sie sich,
ihre Familie, ihr Umfeld unter Armutsbedingungen sehen. Eine
einzigartige Analyse der verheerenden, vielschichtigen Auswirkungen
von Armut auf Kinder. Das Buch liefert die Ergebnisse einer
qualitativen Studie, die die Lebenslage von Kindern im
Grundschulalter aus der Perspektive der Kinder untersucht. Es
handelt sich um eine der ersten Studien, die auf Eigenaussagen der
Kinder basiert. Insgesamt zeigt sich, dass die Prozesse zunehmender
Benachteiligung und des mehrdimensionalen Ausschlusses von Kindern
eine theoretische, empirische und konzeptuelle Herausforderung fur
die Soziale Arbeit darstellen. Es wird vor allem das bislang
unzureichende Instrumentarium der Kinder- und Jugendhilfe deutlich.
Im Ergebnis diskutiert das Buch Vorschlage fur eine konzeptionelle
Umorientierung der Jugendhilfe.
In den medialen und politischen Diskursen um Unterschicht tauchen
in den letzten Jahren neue Toene auf: die Unterschicht versperre
sich selbst den Weg in die aufnahmebereite Gesellschaft, indem sie
sich durch eine eigene Kultur von ihr abschotte. Deswegen sei die
Erziehung der Unterschicht bis hin zu staatlichem Zwang - Foerdern
und Fordern, Kontrolle der Sozialisationsrisiken, praventive
Programme - erforderlich. Diese in Deutschland teils subtile, teils
laute Re-Moralisierung der Unterschichtfrage steht im Zentrum
dieses Lehrbuchs. Neben dem Diskurs um die Unterschicht wird die
Entwicklung gesellschaftlicher Gruppen in prekaren Lebenslagen, in
Armut und in der Gefahr der Exklusion dargestellt - gestutzt durch
die Erschliessung des wissenschaftlichen Diskurses um Ungleichheit,
Ausgrenzung, Arbeit, Familienformen, underclass und
Zivilgesellschaft.
Der Leser hat ein umfangreiches Buch vor sich. Was erwartet ihn?
Der Text ist trotz reflektierender Abschnitte kein theoretisches
Werk. Es ist in erster Linie der Bericht uber eine empirische
Studie, die naturlich ihre theoretischen Voraussetzungen hat und
diese auch offenlegt, doch die Ergebnisse laden zum Disput ein.
Zentrale Begriffe der Armutstheorie, wie Lebenslagen und soziale
Ungleichheit, benachteiligte und arme Lebenslagen, die
Differentialitat von Lebenslagen, die subjektive Gestaltung von
Lebenslagen und die Handlungs chancen der lebensweltlichen Akteure,
sind noch in vieler Hinsicht offen. Fur die sozialpadagogische
Perspektive bzw. den sozialpadagogischen Zugang zu sozialen
Problemen werden einige Vorschlage gemacht. Gibt es sozialpadago
gische Forschung? Zumindest gibt es einige besondere Aspekte an
sozialen Problemen, die unsere Forschung beachten sollte. Armut
gilt in dieser Studie als paradigmatischer Begriff im Sinne der
Verstandigung uber einen Problemzusammenhang von benachteiligten Le
benslagen, von denen Sozialhilfebezug eine - doch nicht die einzige
- ist. Armut wird mithin als heuristischer Begriff verwandt. Armut
schliesst notwen dig materielle Benachteiligung ein; doch wo hort
sie auf? Da nicht vorab be stimmt werden sollte, wo eine Grenze fur
Benachteiligung lag, wurde eine Einkommensgrenze von 60% als
Obergrenze fur alle Stichproben verwendet; unterhalb dessen waren
Lebenslagen-und Lebensfuhrungs-Unterschiede eine offene
Forschungsfrage. Im Kontext eines lebenslagebezogenen Ansatzes von
Armutsforschung wie auch einer Theorie sozialer Arbeit werden
Benachteiligung und Armut im Feld mehrerer Dimensionen menschlichen
Lebens verstanden, so Wohnung, Bildung und Ausbildung, Arbeit,
soziale Teilhabe und Integration, Gesundheit usw. Die Studie bleibt
hier vorwiegend deskriptiv auf die Darstellung der Ergebnisse
bezogen."
