Kevin is a sometimes-violent teenager with severe emotional
disturbance in a family environment of poverty and stress. In this
ethnography of a children's mental health care team, communication
scholar Christine S. Davis delves deeply into how members of the
team create hope for themselves, for Kevin, and for his family
using a strengths orientation and future focus. A rich, evocative
narrative that highlights multiple voices and interpretations,
Davis provides a multilayered study of how social service workers
can motivate and heal troubled families in challenging
environments. The volume includes clinical and practice
considerations for those working in the social welfare system

Topological defects have recently become of great interest in
condensed matter physics, particle physics and cosmology. They are
the unavoidable remnants of many symmetry breaking phase
transitions. Topological defects can play an important role in
describing the properties of many condensed matter systems (e.g.
superfluids and superconduc tors); they can catalyze many unusual
effects in particle physics models and they may be responsible for
seeding the density perturbations in the early Universe which de
velop into galaxies and the large-scale structure of the Universe.
Topological defects are also of great interest in mathematics as
nontrivial solutions of nonlinear differential equations stabilized
by topological effects. The purpose of the Advanced Study Institute
"Formation and Interactions of Topo logical Defects" was to bring
together students and practitioners in condensed matter physics,
particle physics and cosmology, to give a detailed exposition of
the role of topo logical defects in these fields; to explore
similarities and differences in the approaches; and to provide a
common basis for discussion and future collaborative research on
common problems.
"A Giant for Justice" tells the amazing true story of legendary
educator and retired president of the Washington Teachers' Union,
William H. "Bill" Simons. He accomplished dozens of great strides
for teachers' rights and made a long and lasting impact on scores
of educators, students, and parents during his twenty-five years of
service.
Compassionately told by one of the teachers who worked with him,
this compelling biography showcases Bill's vision, efforts, and
achievements, including strikes and walkouts to Congress, in which
the author, herself, participated. The biography features reprints
of official correspondence from Bills' desk, dozens of stunning
photographs spanning Bill's life, and other archival documents.
Also included at the end of the book are two chapters dedicated to
tributes written to Bill by some of the many friends, family,
former students, and colleagues whose lives he impacted.
Not just a heartwarming account celebrating the life and
accomplishments of a great man, "A Giant for Justice" serves as a
prototype for other unions to expand and enhance their successes.
Generations of union leaders to come can turn to this book for a
concise statement of Bill's work and use it to guide them in their
own pursuit of justice.
A guide to all aspects of leadership, for any student who wants to
become a supervisor or manager in the tourism and hospitality
industry. The main focus is on managing workplace operations.
Emphasis is also placed on the management of staff, including job
design, selection and training, and monitoring workplace
performance. The book also deals with policies and procedures in
detail, including occupational health and safety.
