Professional Ideologies and Preferences in Social Work - A Global Study (Hardcover, New): Idit Weiss, John Gal, John C. Dixon Professional Ideologies and Preferences in Social Work - A Global Study (Hardcover, New)
Idit Weiss, John Gal, John C. Dixon
R1,956 Discovery Miles 19 560 Ships in 10 - 15 working days

Weiss, Gal, Dixon, and their contributors provide the first large-scale cross-national and cross-cultural examination of the views and the perceptions of social workers through this analysis of graduating social worker students on the threshold of their careers in social work. They identify and analyze the graduating social work students' attitudes towards the sources of social distress, the preferred ways to deal with social problems, the goals of social work, and their professional preferences with regard to client groups, types of professional activity, and place of work. Since first being practiced more than a century ago, social work has become an international profession and is today an integral part of the social services in many different countries. However, as Weiss, Gal, Dixon, and their contributors make clear, there is a distinct lack of ideological consensus over the goals, tasks, desired technologies, major client groups, the preferred sector in which to operate, and a variety of other issues. Throughout its history, social work has undergone a constant process of change; nonetheless, despite the existence of a common professional core, social work is quite clearly socially constructed and takes very different forms in the various national settings throughout the world. This book provides the first large-scale cross-national and cross-cultural examination of the views and perceptions of social workers through an analysis of graduating social worker students at the threshold of their careers in social work. The country chapters identify and analyze the graduating social work students' attitudes towards the sources of social distress, the preferred ways to deal with social problems, the goals of social work, and their professional preferences with regard to client groups, types of professional activity, and place of work. Experts on social work provide analyses on Australia, Brazil, Canada, Germany, Hong Kong, Hungary, Israel, the United Kingdom, the United States, and Zimbabawe.

Periglacial Geomorphology - Binghamton Geomorphology Symposium 22 (Paperback): John C. Dixon, Athol D. Abrahams Periglacial Geomorphology - Binghamton Geomorphology Symposium 22 (Paperback)
John C. Dixon, Athol D. Abrahams
R1,172 Discovery Miles 11 720 Ships in 12 - 19 working days

This book, first published in 1992, contains the proceedings of the 22nd Binghamton Geomorphology Symposium, and highlights the quantity and diversity of periglacial geomorphic research being undertaken in Arctic and alpine environments. The articles explore a variety of geomorphic processes and examine the potential impacts of global change on the nature and extent of permafrost and seasonal ice phenomena.

Tires, Suspension and Handling (Paperback, 2nd Revised edition): John C. Dixon Tires, Suspension and Handling (Paperback, 2nd Revised edition)
John C. Dixon
R2,063 Discovery Miles 20 630 Ships in 10 - 15 working days

This book provides detailed coverage of the theory and practice of vehicle cornering and handling. Much of the material in this book is not available elsewhere, including unique information on suspension analysis, understeer/oversteer, bump steer and roll steer, roll centers, limit handling, and aerodynamics. Each chapter ends with a wide selection of problems, providing an ideal review. This book is an excellent resource for vehicle designers and engineering students who want to better understand and analyze the numerous factors affecting vehicle handling.

Source-to-Sink Fluxes in Undisturbed Cold Environments (Hardcover): Achim A. Beylich, John C. Dixon, Zbigniew Zwolinski Source-to-Sink Fluxes in Undisturbed Cold Environments (Hardcover)
Achim A. Beylich, John C. Dixon, Zbigniew Zwolinski
R4,496 Discovery Miles 44 960 Ships in 12 - 19 working days

Amplified climate change and ecological sensitivity of polar and cold climate environments are key global environment issues. Understanding how projected climate change will alter surface environments in these regions is only possible when present day source-to-sink fluxes can be quantified. The book provides the first global synthesis and integrated analysis of environmental drivers and quantitative rates of solute and sedimentary fluxes in cold environments, and the likely impact of projected climate change. The focus on largely undisturbed cold environments allows ongoing climate change effects to be detected and, moreover, distinguished from anthropogenic impacts. A novel approach for co-ordinated and integrative process geomorphic research is introduced to enable better comparison between studies. This highly topical and multidisciplinary book, which includes case studies covering Arctic, Antarctic, and alpine environments, will be of interest to graduate students and researchers in the fields of geomorphology, sedimentology and global environmental change.

Social Security in Global Perspective (Paperback): John C. Dixon Social Security in Global Perspective (Paperback)
John C. Dixon
R1,339 Discovery Miles 13 390 Ships in 10 - 15 working days

Dixon examines the social security systems of 172 countries. Focusing on the diverse array of approaches existing today, he explores global social security patterns, recent developments, and future issues, and he assesses and ranks social security programs and systems. By providing a global perspective on social security, Dixon enables scholars, students, and social security administrators to place national and perhaps regional social security policy debates into their larger, regional and global settings. The volume is intended for scholars and graduate students in the broad fields of social work, social welfare, and social security.
