When can contexts and diversity be resources, rather than risks,
for children's developmental pathways? Scholars, policy makers, and
practitioners increasingly realize that middle childhood matters as
a time when children's pathways diverge, as they meet new and
overlapping contexts they must navigate on their way to adolescence
and adulthood. This volume shines new light on this important
transition by tracing how these contexts -- cultural, economic,
historical, political, and social -- can support or undermine
children's pathways, and how children's own actions and the actions
of those around them shape these pathways. With a focus on
demographic changes taking place in the U.S., the volume also maps
how experiences of diversity, reflecting culture, ethnicity,
gender, and social class, matter for children's life contexts and
options. Chapters by a team of social scientists in the MacArthur
Foundation Research Network on Successful Pathways through Middle
Childhood present the fruits of ten years of research on these
issues with diverse cultural and ethnic communities across the U.S.
These include: *a set of models and measures that trace how
contexts and diversity evolve and interact over time, with an
epilogue that aligns and compares them; *surprising new findings,
quantitative and qualitative, with cases showing how children and
families shape and are affected by their individual, recreational,
institutional, and cultural experiences; and *applications to
policy and practice for diverse children and families. The
importance of these new models, methods, findings, and applications
is the topic of commentaries by distinguished scholars with both
U.S. and international perspectives. The book is intended for
researchers, practitioners, and policy makers, as well as students
in psychology, sociology, and education.
Lusi and Davies have provided an excellent reference resource for
students and graduates alike. The number of well-defined, relevant
and clear images allow quick understanding for anyone interested in
the fascial anatomy of the horse. This small book is perfect to
have in your bag, allowing the student or clinician to find all the
information they need on-site. - Sophie Neasham, final year
veterinary student, University of Veterinary Medicine in Kosice,
Slovakia Key features: The first book in equine anatomy to
illustrate the fascial (soft connective tissue) connections of the
equine forelimb. Clear, high-quality images (with reference images
included on each page) help readers identify aspects of the limb
photographed. A brief introduction to the forelimb musculoskeletal
anatomy (with images) helps readers familiarize themselves with
muscles and bones portrayed in photographs. Focused discussions
highlight the practical applicability of the fascial connections
illustrated. Accompanying video clips demonstrate connectivity of
the fascial system particular lines of tension. The first of its
kind in equine anatomy, this clear, concise anatomical guide
illustrates the fascial (soft connective tissue) connections of the
equine forelimb. Based on dissections of fresh equine cadaver
limbs, it provides a visual map for equine physical therapists,
veterinarians and horse riders, helping them to understand how
pathologies, injuries, or movement abnormalities of the equine
forelimb arise and/or progress from one area of the limb to
another. The fascial system is one of the primary systems acted
upon by equine physiotherapists and is of increasing interest to
horse riders looking to achieve structural integration and balanced
movement in their horse. With this in mind, key points in each
chapter highlight everyday situations in which knowledge of the
fascial system may assist in understanding horse movement and
injury. This practically applicable anatomical atlas is the ideal
reference for horse owners, body workers and veterinarians alike.
