Conceived as a response to the economic naAvety and implicit
metropolitan bias of many 1950s and 60s studies of a ~the sociology
of developmenta (TM), this volume, first published in 1975,
provides actual field studies and theoretical reviews to indicate
the directions which a conceptually more adequate study of
developing societies should take.
Much of the book reflects strongly the influence of Andre Gunder
Frank, but the contributors adopt a critical attitude to his ideas,
applying them in empirical situations within such African and
American countries as Kenya, Guyana, Tanzania and Peru. Others
pursue the lines of enquiry opened up by Latin American theories of
economic a ~dependencya (TM) and by the new school of French
economic anthropology.

This overview of best practices for encouraging literacy helps
teachers reflect on their own teaching style as they explore
innovative approaches to learning. It contains hundreds of
practical ideas to meet the particular needs of every student. Each
strategy includes a brief discussion of the issues and then focuses
on ready-to-use ideas for any classroom. Some of the topics
addressed include: joining the literacy club--from conditions for
literacy learning and gender issues to supporting literacy growth
and using parents as partners; structures for literacy learning--
from creating a print environment and guided reading to independent
reading and tutoring struggling students;reading strategies--from
tapping into background knowledge and monitoring comprehension to
encouraging oral, written, and visual response;writing strategies--
from using notebooks and tricks of the trade to writing in genre
and applying the conventions of language;organizing a literacy
classroom-- from timetabling and involving the library to essential
classroom resources in all genres.
"Literacy Techniques for Building Successful Readers and
Writers" also includes checklists and guidelines--many in
reproducible form--for easy classroom use.

This is the story of Gary Grey Moth who desperately wants to be
seen and Florence Butterfly who has had enough of being noticed.
What would happen if they swapped cardigans and could each be the
bug they always wanted to be? This fast-paced and perceptive story
is about expectations and identity, told from the unlikely but
utterly relatable perspectives of a moth and a butterfly. They're
not so different, if you really think about it. Â From
Melbourne-based author Charlotte Lance and internationally renowned
artist David Booth (also known as Ghostpatrol), comes this
humorous, insightful coming-of-age junior fiction novel,
illustrated in 2/c throughout. Â "Perspective is everything
in this illustrated chapter book, which revolves around two insects
who couldn’t be more different....Booth’s grayscale doodles,
accented with yellow, are the perfect complement for this quirky
celebration of self-expression." BooklistÂ
Strategy Journeys starts from the premise that strategic planning
suffers from a bad press: it can be seen as complex, technical,
remote from the day-to-day reality of an organisation, undertaken
by an elite specialist executive group, producing threatening
changes whose rationale is barely understood - or, perhaps worse
still, having no worthwhile impact at all. For many senior
executives, strategic planning is too daunting a task, which is why
they often seek help from those with the expertise to guide the
process: they have a severe lack of confidence in their own ability
to design, plan and implement such an important and major project.
Yet organisations have never had greater need for a flexible,
resilient and engaging approach to strategic planning than now. How
do those leading an organisation know where to start, what approach
to take and how to go about the process of strategic planning?
David Booth aims to help them by demystifying the concept and
propounding a 'first principles' approach to developing a strategic
plan within the context of the individual organisation and with the
flexibility to adapt the process to focus on what really matters.
He suggests the key questions that should be asked when considering
embarking on a strategic planning 'journey' to help design and
guide the process.
This title explores the psychological processes involved in the
selection and consumption of foods and drink. The exposition is
firmly linked to research evidence on the cognitive, socio-economic
and physiological influences on the desire to eat and drink. The
basic theory is that appetite is a learned response to a recognized
complex of cues from foods, the body and the social and physical
environment.; The volume starts with infant-care giver interactions
in feeding, then moves on to consider how physical and social
maturation in Western culture affects attitudes to foods,
concentrating on the phenomena of ordinary dieting and the extremes
of disordered eating. The concluding chapters deal with the process
within the lives of individual consumers which causes the same
eating habits to form in different segments of society. It also
looks at food technology, marketing and governmental regulation.;
"The Psychology of Nutrition" tackles questions about what goes on
in eaters' and drinkers' minds about the foods and beverages they
are consuming, and about the cultural meaning of the eating
occasion in industrialized cultures.

At one time or another, everyone has said "I am thirsty". Yet what
causes this sensation of thirst? It is obvious that a certain
quantity of fluid must be present for the body to function
normally. How does a water deficit in the body then influence
drinking habits? But supposing the physiological need is met, what
about the psychological need or social need? Water is certainly the
most necessary fluid; then why do we humans often prefer other
beverages, even at great cost of effort or money or health? The
subject of thirst and drinking behavior are uniquely discussed in
this book. For the first time both the physiological and the
psychological aspects of water and beverage consumption are
examined in one volume. The many recent developments concerning how
a lack of water is signalled physiologically and processed neurally
to affect drinking behavior are critically surveyed. Prospects for
understanding the cultural and sensory influences on beverage
consumption are mapped out. The thirty-one chapters by authorities
in the field were all mutually reviewed and revised in the light of
precirculated comments and round-table discussions. Together they
provide a complete picture of the current state of knowledge on
what determines fluid consumption in human beings and animals.

Finsler's papers on set theory are presented, here for the first
time in English translation, in three parts, and each is preceded
by an introduction to the field written by the editors. In the
philosophical part of his work Finsler develops his approach to the
paradoxes, his attitude toward formalized theories and his defense
of Platonism in mathematics. He insisted on the existence of a
conceptual realm within mathematics that transcends formal systems.
From the foundational point of view, Finsler's set theory contains
a strengthened criterion for set identity and a coinductive
specification of the universe of sets. The notion of the class of
circle free sets introduced by Finsler is potentially a very
fertile one although not very widespread today. Combinatorially,
Finsler considers sets as generalized numbers to which one may
apply arithmetical techniques. The introduction to this third
section of the book extends Finsler's theory to non-well-founded
sets. The present volume makes Finsler's papers on set theory
accessible at long last to a wider group of mathematicians,
philosophers and historians of science. A technical background is
not necessary to appreciate the satisfying interplay of
philosophical and mathematical ideas that characterizes this
work.
