Normalisation, the theoretical framework that underpins the
movement of services for people with disabilities from long stay
hospitals, has recently become the focus of much academic and
professional attention. As the community care debate has moved into
the public arena, it has attracted a certain amount of criticism,
acknowledging the political and philosophical conflicts that
surround it. Normalisation: A Reader for the Nineties provides a
much needed, informed appraisal of this controversial practice and
combines various perspectives on the subject, including applied
behavioural analysis, social policy and psychodynamic approaches.
Thus it explores the discrepancies between the ideal and the
reality and extends the debate by drawing comparisons, with other
political and social ideologies.
Women and Early Modern Cultures of Translation: Beyond the Female
Tradition is a major new intervention in research on early modern
translation and will be an essential point of reference for anyone
interested in the history of women translators. Research on women
translators has often focused on early modern England; the example
of early modern England has been taken as the norm for the rest of
the continent and has shaped research on gender and translation
more generally. This book brings a new European perspective to the
field by introducing the case of Germany. It draws attention to
forty women who can be identified as translators in sixteenth- and
seventeenth-century Germany and shows how their work does not fit
easily into traditional narratives about marginalization and
subversiveness. The study uses the example of Germany to argue
against reading the work of translating women primarily through the
lens of gender and to challenge claims about the existence of a
female translation tradition which transcends the boundaries of
time and place. Broadening our perspective to include Germany
provides a more nuanced and informed account of the position of
women within European translation cultures and forces us to rethink
gender as a category of analysis in translation history. The book
makes the case for a new 'woman-interrogated' approach to
translation history (to borrow a concept from Carol Maier) and as
such it will provide a blueprint for future work in the area.
Integration is now a key expectation within the delivery of health
and social care services in the UK and internationally. However, it
still remains difficult to achieve and sustain in practice. Based
on learning from successful, and unsuccessful, integrated care
initiatives, this book is an invaluable guide for those responsible
for leading, managing and delivering integrated care across health,
social care and housing. Written by an experienced team of
researchers who have studied, led and supported integrated care for
many years Integrated Care in Practice draws on latest evidence,
innovative practice and helpful theory. It provides insights into
the common pitfalls that such initiatives can encounter and
demonstrates positive approaches to anticipating and responding to
such challenges. Throughout, real-case examples are provided, and
concepts and models are connected with the realities of day-to-day
life for those working within these services. Integrated care is a
goal to aspire to - this book helps to explain how we can turn this
goal into practical action and positive outcomes.
How might a small Haitian village lacking basic power, sanitation,
waste collection and a limited water supply, achieve a measure of
infrastructural self-sufficiency? What means might be developed to
provide these basic services relying primarily on local natural
resources? Could these services create local jobs? This was the
problem statement set out for the farming settlement of Fouche, a
hamlet spread out along a main road running through Les Palmes
district in the central/SW region of Haiti. Fouche lies on the
coast about 10 miles west from Leogane, the epicenter of the
devastating January 12, 2010 earthquake. Infrastructural Ecologies
for Fouche, Haiti adopts a multi-objective, holistic design
approach reliant on an integrated planning process. Exchanges
across the sectors of agriculture, water, energy and waste "close
the loops" of energy and resource flows. Editors: Hillary Brown,
Alvaro Munoz Hansen, & Arthur Getman
Esther Clark Short was a Native American woman who went West. She
was a claim jumper, an enterprising business woman, and the founder
of the town of Vancouver, Washington. She lived in a time when the
Pacific Northwest was a place of danger and opportunity. PIONEER
MOTHER:THE LIFE AND TIMES OF ESTHER SHORT, explores not only her
life but the lives of the famous people she knew in the swirl of
tumultuous times.
An integrated, holistic model for infrastructure planning and
design in developing countries. Many emerging nations, particularly
those least developed, lack basic critical infrastructural
services-affordable energy, clean drinking water, dependable
sanitation, and effective public transportation, along with
reliable food systems. Many of these countries cannot afford the
complex and resource-intensive systems based on Western,
single-sector, industrialized models. In this book, Hillary Brown
and Byron Stigge propose an alternate model for planning and
designing infrastructural services in the emerging market context.
This new model is holistic and integrated, resilient and
sustainable, economical and equitable, creating an infrastructural
ecology that is more analogous to the functioning of natural
ecosystems. Brown and Stigge identify five strategic infrastructure
objectives and illustrate each with examples of successful projects
from across the developing world. Each chapter also highlights
exemplary preindustrial systems, demonstrating the long history of
resilient, sustainable infrastructure. The case studies describe
the use of single solutions to solve multiple problems, creating
hybridized and reciprocal systems; "soft path" models for water
management, including water reuse and nutrient recovery; post
carbon infrastructures for power, heat, and transportation such as
rural microhydro and solar-powered rickshaws; climate adaptation
systems, including a multi-purpose tunnel and a "floating city";
and the need for community-based, equitable, and culturally
appropriate projects.
This edited collection examines the means to create, maintain, and
enhance welcoming colleges and universities in the United States
and abroad with personal accounts, case studies, models, programs,
and other frameworks written by practitioners in higher education.
The contributors explain how they have created inviting classrooms;
established friendly educational experiences both within and beyond
the classroom; engaged faculty and enhanced the teaching
experience; and developed instruments to assess invitational
strategies in higher education from a global perspective.
