The book presented here describes an outstanding attempt, not only
to include children's views but to partner with children to develop
the concept of well-being and to study the phenomenon as the
children understand it. The authors do this by placing the concept
of children's well-being within the existing discourses on the
topic and by developing their unique theoretical approach to the
concept. Then, and based on what children told them, the authors
identify different domains and dimensions of children's well-being
and touch upon its multifaceted nature. The book concludes with
drawing research and policy implications from an integrated summary
of the study's findings and lists indicator concepts that present
an alternative framework and conceptualisation of well-being from a
child standpoint.

What if a teacher's most promising pupil is also her most
dangerous? Aspiring writer Vera Lundy hasn't entirely overcome her
own adolescence when she agrees to teach at a tiny private school.
A recent murder has already put their small New England town on
edge when Vera bonds with a student who's eerily reminiscent of her
younger self. Amid a growing sense of menace, Vera finds herself in
the vortex of danger--and suspicion.

In organizations, teams are often charged with generating new
ideas. This book provides insights into two questions related to
creativity in teams. What processes are in play when creativity
emerges? What are the conditions that enable creativity within
teams? Participants in groups develop new ideas through
collaboration and learning. One pattern is for members to engage in
dialogue with socially influenced new ideas coming from their work.
Another pattern is the development of socially constructed ideas
that emerge as a product of the group's interaction. While
functional group dynamics and having a purpose are important,
additional conditions within the groups provide the fertile ground
upon which creative groups' ideas grow. Creative teams display a
set of facilitating conditions that enable new idea generation.
Professionals in training and development, team coaching and OD
will find this information useful as they develop organization
members' abilities to engage in creativity in the group
environment. In addition, practitioners who are expected to
generate new, creative solutions will gain insights into how they
can contribute more effectively to their groups.

"A new edition of the book that received the Historic
Preservation Book Prize and the American Society for Landscape
Architects' Honor Award"
Since publication of the first edition of "Saving America's
Countryside" in 1989, the fight to save America's rural resources
has met with much success. Approaches considered experimental just
a decade ago--greenways and heritage areas, for example--are now
widespread. Yet at the same time, such disquieting developments as
continuing suburban sprawl, the weakening of federal laws, and the
so-called property rights movement all suggest that work remains to
be done.
"Saving America's Countryside" was the first and is still the
only comprehensive, step-by-step guide to protecting the natural,
historic, scenic, and agricultural resources of a rural community.
The authors show how to organize a conservation effort, inventory
available resources, pass effective new laws, set up land trusts,
take advantage of federal programs, and change public
attitudes.
The thoroughly revised and updated second edition reports on
changes in conservation over the past eight years and adds a
chapter on making economic development compatible with rural
conservation. It includes new case studies, more than fifty new
illustrations, and a section on heritage tourism. As in the
previous edition, the detailed case studies document a variety of
successful--and often surprisingly innovative--conservation efforts
by residents of rural communities throughout the United States.
