William Nylen begins by discussing North Americans' love-hate relationship with politics and politicians, then shows how Brazilians feel the same way (as do many citizens of democracies throughout the world). He argues that this is so because contemporary democracies have increasingly trickled up and away from so-called "average citizens." We now live in a world of "Elitist Democracies" essentially constructed of, by and for moneyed, well-connected and ethically-challenged elites. Fortunately, there are alternatives, and that's where Brazil offers valuable lessons. Experiments in local-level participatory democracy, put into practice in Brazil by the Workers Party show both the promise and the practical limitations of efforts to promote "popular participation" and citizen empowerment.
This updated Ninth Edition of Accounting Theory: Conceptual Issues
in a Political and Economic Environment continues to be one of the
most relevant and comprehensive texts on accounting theory. Authors
Harry I. Wolk, James L. Dodd, John J. Rozycki provide a critical
overview of accounting as a whole as well as touch on the financial
issues in economic and political contexts, providing readers with
an understanding of how current United States accounting standards
were derived and where we might be headed in the future. Readers
will find learning tools such as questions, cases, problems and
writing assignments to solidify their understanding of accounting
theory and gain new insights into this evolving field.

For eighty years, students of parliamentary democracy have argued
that durable cabinets require majority party government. Lawrence
Dodd challenges this widely held belief and offers in its place a
revisionist interpretation based on contemporary game theory. He
argues for a fundamental alteration in existing conceptions of the
relationship between party systems and parliamentary government.
The author notes that cabinet durability depends on the coalitional
status of the party or parties that form the cabinet. This status
is created by the fractionalization, instability, and polarization
that characterize the parliamentary party system. Cabinets of
minimum winning status are likely to endure; as they depart from
minimum winning status, their durability should decrease.
Hypotheses derived from the author's theory arc examined against
the experience of seventeen Western nations from 1918 to 1974.
Making extensive use of quantitative analysis, the author compares
behavioral patterns in multiparty and majority party parliaments,
contrasts interwar and postwar parliaments, and examines the
consistency of key behavioral patterns according to country. He
concludes that a key to durable government is the minimum winning
status of the cabinet, which may be attained in multiparty or
majority party parliaments. Originally published in 1976. The
Princeton Legacy Library uses the latest print-on-demand technology
to again make available previously out-of-print books from the
distinguished backlist of Princeton University Press. These
editions preserve the original texts of these important books while
presenting them in durable paperback and hardcover editions. The
goal of the Princeton Legacy Library is to vastly increase access
to the rich scholarly heritage found in the thousands of books
published by Princeton University Press since its founding in 1905.

"Augmentative and Alternative Communication Intervention: An
Intensive, Immersive, Socially Based Delivery Model" is ideal for
school based speech-language pathologists, and an excellent
resource for interventionists (special education teachers, ABA
therapists) and speech-language pathologists in other settings,
that wish to develop an intensive, immersive Augmentative and
Alternative Communication (AAC) based intervention through the
three phases of the intervention process: assessment, intervention
planning, and intervention implementation.Written by an SLP who has
worked in a public school setting and saw to the application of
theory to practice, the text provides detailed information
regarding working with children who have complex communication
needs, and the background knowledge necessary for successful
implementation of the intervention approach. Included are
considerations for vocabulary selection for the beginning
communicator, how to create a symbolically rich environment,
detailed intervention approaches, and progress monitoring
strategies that establish appropriate, measurable goals. AAC will
no longer be an alternative means of communication, but a best
practice means of teaching communication in the SPL or
interventionist repertoire.
