It is becoming recognized that the multiple and complex problems of
children with emotional and behavioral problems and their families
exceed the capacity of any single service system. Emerging
School-Based Approaches for Children With Emotional and Behavioral
Problems presents educators and social service practitioners with
innovative programs and practices for these children while in
school with emphasis on inter-service collaboration. The book
fulfills a growing need for an organized discussion of how the
integrated service paradigm can be applied in the context of school
settings. Special consideration is given to the issues and problems
that are idiosyncratic to schools as institutions. Emerging
School-Based Approaches for Children With Emotional and Behavioral
Problems shows school administrators, teachers, and child service
providers conceptual, practice, and research aspects of integrated
service programs in school settings. Professionals gain insight for
planning organizational change as prominent experts and
practitioners share their work across a range of issues and
geographic sites. They explore these topics: systems of care for
children and families schools as health delivery sites parent
involvement for students with emotional and behavioral disorders

changeChapters provide readers with general information about the
features of an integrated approach, provide practical examples of
exemplary programs, and consider organizational change issues that
can facilitate or impede movement toward a more collaborative
approach. Programs presented focus on the development of more
broad-based community services, less restrictive child placement,
prevention of hospitalization and out-of-home placement,
interagency collaboration, flexible and individualized services,
and cost containment and efficiency. The integrated service
movement in children s services holds much promise as a means to
create more comprehensive and coordinated school-based systems of
care for children and families. Special education teachers and
administrators, school and child clinical psychologists, and school
counselors will find Emerging School-Based Approaches for Children
With Emotional and Behavioral Problems fundamental to their
understanding of the integrated systems approach and a helpful
guide as they undergo their own organizational changes.

The San Quentin Project collects a largely unseen visual record of
daily life inside one of America's oldest and largest prisons,
demonstrating how this archive of the state is now being used to
teach visual literacy and process the experience of incarceration.
In 2011, Nigel Poor-artist, educator, and cocreator of the
acclaimed podcast Ear Hustle-began teaching a history of
photography class through the Prison University Project at San
Quentin State Prison. Neither books nor cameras were allowed into
the facility, so an unorthodox course with a range of
inventivemapping exercises ensued: students crafted "verbal
photographs" of memories for which they had no visual
documentation, and annotated iconic images from different artists.
After the first semester, Poor says, "one student told me he could
now see fascination everywhere in San Quentin." When Poor received
access to thousands of negatives in the prison's archive, made by
corrections officers of a former era, these images of San Quentin's
everyday occurrences soon became launchpads for her students' keen
observations. From the banal to the brutal, to distinct moments of
respite, the pictures in this archive gave those who were involved
in the project the opportunity to share their stories and
reflections on incarceration.
The French Riviera: A History ranges from the Terra Amata in Nice,
occupied from 380,000 years ago and one of the oldest inhabited
prehistoric sites in the world, through to settlement by Greeks,
Romans, Franks, Ostrogoths and Visigoths, wars and revolutions, to
the establishment of the Silicon Valley of France in
Sophia-Antipolis in 1974. Michael Nelson shows the surprisingly
cosmopolitan nature of the area in the early middle ages, such as
the story of the finishing school run by Frankish kings in the 7th
century where Siagrius, the ruler of the region, had studied and
where the son of King Edwin of Northumbria in England was also
sent. The Riviera was part of Provence in France for much of its
history and was often a microcosm of France itself, with many
dynastic struggles and horrific blood-letting. Colour maps and
plates illustrate The French Riviera: A History, and it is also
full of fascinating anecdotes. Examples include the loan of a
guillotine by Nice to Grasse in the French Revolution (Nice had no
victims and Grasse had thirty) and the occasion when Jean Moulin,
the leader of the French Resistance in World War II, invited the
Germans to the opening of an art gallery in Nice which he was using
as a front. In the nineteenth and twentieth century the British and
Americans led tourism, and the Riviera was described by Somerset
Maugham as 'a sunny place for shady people'. The French Riviera: A
History is a fascinating look back over the Riviera's rich history.
Perfect to dip into, or follow the whole historical journey in one
sitting, it will make the perfect addition to any history buff's
bookcase.
Led by Cole Porter in the 1920s, Americans demonstrated that the
best season to visit the French Riviera was not the winter, as had
been the practice, but the summer. With this shift, Americans
became the dominant shapers of tourism on the Riviera in the 20th
century, yet the American achievement in revolutionizing the
economy of the South of France is largely unsung. This insightful
history details the American influence on the Riviera and the
contributions of several individuals. It pays particular attention
to such writers and artists as Edith Wharton, Gerald Murphy, Henry
Clews, F. Scott Fitzgerald and Ernest Hemingway, whose work drew
energy from their stays in the Riviera and in turn helped to cement
an idyllic image of the Riviera in the American popular
consciousness.

On the first anniversary of Donald Trump's presidency, Michael
Nelson, one of our finest and most objective presidential scholars,
published Trump's First Year, a nonpartisan assessment that was
widely hailed as the best account of one of the most unusual years
in presidential history. At the midpoint of Trump's term, Nelson
has updated his book to include the second year, which if anything
has proven to be even more remarkable. Beginning with an
examination of the dramatic 2016 election, Nelson's book follows
Trump as he takes office under mostly favorable conditions, with
relative stability at home and abroad and his party in control of
both houses of Congress. Trump leveraged this successfully in some
ways, from the confirmation of his nominee Neil Gorsuch to the
Supreme Court to the passage of his tax-reform bill. But many more
actions were perceived as failures or even threats to a safe,
functional democracy, including immigration policies defied by
state and local governments, volatile dealings with North Korea,
unsuccessful attempts to pass major legislation, and the inability
to fill government positions or maintain consistent White House
staff. As Nelson demonstrates in a substantial addition to the
original book, Trump's effectiveness, or lack thereof, did not
change significantly in his second year in office, but his approach
often did. With the Mueller investigation and the midterm elections
looming, Trump threw off his advisors' restraints and acted more
directly on his impulses, reverting to the instincts and rhetoric
that had won him the election. While opposition to Trump remained
strong in many quarters, resistance among GOP leaders crumbled as
they were confronted with their constituents' support of the
president.Published on the second anniversary of Trump's
inauguration, Nelson's book offers the most complete and up-to-date
assessment of this still-unfolding story.

and the larger political system.
Bringing together a host of distinguished scholars, Michael
Nelson's The Elections of 2016 reliably delivers a nuanced analysis
of yet another momentous cycle of political contests. No other

expertise in this title. Whether discussing particular races or
taking a broader look at the national trends, these contributors

mere months after the election, each chapter, written specifically
for this volume, offers readers historical perspective as well as a
look forward at the implications for the American political system.
Following the election of Donald Trump, the office of the U.S.
president has come under scrutiny like never before. Featuring
penetrating insights from high-profile presidential scholars, The
Presidency provides the deep historical and constitutional context
needed to put the Trump era into its proper perspective.Identifying
key points at which the constitutional presidency could have
evolved in different ways from the nation's founding days to the
present, these scholars examine presidential decisions that
determined the direction of the nation and the world.
Nothing embodied Franklin D. Roosevelt's campaign to lastingly
embed the New Deal in the major institutions of American government
more than his effort to pack the Supreme Court. Vaulting Ambition,
the inaugural volume in the Landmark Presidential Decisions series,
presents a balanced assessment of FDR's 1937 effort to
fundamentally change the highest court in the land.Unlike most work
on the subject, Michael Nelson centers his study on the president's
series of decisions to reform the Court, rather than on the Court's
responses. At the heart of the book is an analytical narrative of
FDR's crusade to expand the Court and pack it with those
sympathetic to his cause. While keeping this story front and
center, Vaulting Ambition also presents the Court-packing effort as
part of FDR's larger campaign to shape the executive branch
bureaucracy, Congress, the Supreme Court, and the Democratic Party
all in service to enduringly entrench the New Deal into US
government and politics. Although FDR never achieved the mastery
over the entire federal government that he sought, his efforts to
expand and transform the three branches of government and the
Democratic Party were of great consequence and endured long beyond
his tenure. Nelson offers a clear understanding of how FDR's
campaign sheds essential light on today's raging controversy over
changing the Supreme Court.
