Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not
used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad
quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are
images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to
keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the

Promoting the inclusion of climate change and sustainability issues
within the primary curriculum, this cutting-edge guide provides
age-appropriate activities, curriculum links and opportunities for
progression in knowledge and skills across lower and upper KS2.
Designed to bring contemporary issues to life, the set of
progressions include engaging and detailed lesson plans based
around the Science National Curriculum throughout KS2. The book
introduces essential curriculum concepts and teaches species
identification, showing pupils how to encourage care and action for
the natural world through outdoor activities linked to key
curriculum goals. It demonstrates ways to progress children’s
learning through leadership in a model science curriculum and by
the reformation of their own school grounds. Situating this
teaching outside the classroom ensures that the developing concepts
and knowledge are grounded in the real world, and being outdoors
also has huge benefits for children’s mental health and
wellbeing. The guidance and templates for development planning are
underpinned by current research, while vivid case studies bring
these ideas to life.

This is a practical guide for CEOs and corporate managers who
want to improve their ability to develop corporate strategy, chart
the direction of their organization, and involve their key
executives in the successful implementation of that strategy.
Robert describes a unique and proven method for setting and
implementing strategy and for dealing with the qualitative
variables that face an organization. The work begins with an
examination of the common pitfalls of strategic planning.
Subsequent chapters introduce the concept of strategic thinking (a
necessary prerequisite to strategic planning), and treat common
obstacles and misperceptions. After the concepts have been clearly
elucidated, the author goes on to describe their implementation in
a variety of corporate settings.
Leadership, not necessarily a national industrial policy, is the
key to restoring America's competitiveness in the global
economy--and the key to leadership is the ability to think, not
management charisma or personality traits alone. Consultant Michel
Robert maintains that management must master a set of mental
skills, critical thinking he calls them, and use them to develop a
coherent strategy that others in the organization will accept.
Moreover, effective leaders encourage innovative thinking and apply
its decisively when problems arise. These skills can be acquired
by, and communicated to all levels of the organization. Codifying
them and presenting them systematically here for the first time,
Robert shows how he and his colleagues at Decision Processes
International have introduced them to their various client
organizations with measurable success. Robert advises management to
think globally, but act locally and to keep in mind that human
resources are growing scarcer, while the need for quality and
innovation is growing greater. He defines the three fundamental
skills of leadership, distinguishes between strategic and
innovative thinking, and describes how both contribute to sound
decision making. After illustrating what he means by the leader as
strategist, innovator, decision maker, process manager, and
implementor, he shows how these roles are played in, and contribute
to the creation of, learning organizations. He offers readers a
clear, useful method to assess the critical thinking ability of
their own organizations, then defines the point at which strategy,
innovation, and decisiveness intersect in the total package of
management skills. Illustrated with charts, diagrams, and
checklists, developed for DPI's clients, The Essence of Leadership
will be of particular interest and help to executives at all levels
and in all industries and organizations and to students of
management in the academic community.
Child abuse is typically considered to be the most severe form of
early adversity to which children or adolescents can be subjected.
Maltreated young people seen as at the highest risk are likely to
be placed in out-of-home care for their own protection, including
foster care, kinship care, group care, or independent living. Young
People in Out-of-Home Care is based on more than two decades of
applied research and evaluation, conducted since 2000, as part of
the ongoing Ontario Looking After Children (OnLAC) Project. The
OnLAC project was based on a new child welfare approach known as
Looking After Children, developed in the UK in the late 1980s and
1990s, to reform and improve services to vulnerable young people
who were being looked after in out-of-home care. When launched in
2000, the OnLAC project “Canadianized” the UK approach and
partnered with the Ontario Association of Children’s Aid
Societies (OACAS) and some 20 children’s aid societies in the
province. Since 2007, the Ontario government has mandated that
local societies use the OnLAC method to plan services and monitor
outcomes. Since 2000, the Ontario Looking After Children (OnLAC)
project has gathered information on results and well-being from
interviews with more than 35,000 young people in care, their
caregivers, and their child welfare workers. Young People in Out-
of-Home Care presents major project findings and lessons that
promise to improve young people’s education, development, health,
social and family relationships, mental health, and preparation for
transition to community life.
Exactly as it says on the cover each poem or writing are me
imagining myself to be. A collection of connections with myself
through life, these being: love, happiness, sadness, pain, joy etc.
The world that we live in is unique to each person and each person
is so unique there is no one else like you in the world, the whole
world lives in you. Yet many people see themselves living in the
world and feel so separate from it. The book consists of each
individual writing on the left hand page and a blank page on the
right for you to imagine yourself to be. It is not what you write
is your gift, it is your ability to do so. If you don't write
anything that too is your ability. The collection of photos, that
is me imagining the world to be and for you it is you imagining the
world to be. I will never see the world that lives in you. How
could I for there is no one else like you that exists and never
will be. So read and write and see the world that lives in you.

The 11 th IFIP International Conference on Very Large Scale
Integration, in Montpellier, France, December 3-5,2001, was a great
success. The main focus was about IP Cores, Circuits and System
Designs & Applications as well as SOC Design Methods and CAD.
This book contains the best papers (39 among 70) that have been
presented during the conference. Those papers deal with all aspects
of importance for the design of the current and future integrated
systems. System on Chip (SOC) design is today a big challenge for
designers, as a SOC may contain very different blocks, such as
microcontrollers, DSPs, memories including embedded DRAM, analog,
FPGA, RF front-ends for wireless communications and integrated
sensors. The complete design of such chips, in very deep submicron
technologies down to 0.13 mm, with several hundreds of millions of
transistors, supplied at less than 1 Volt, is a very challenging
task if design, verification, debug and industrial test are
considered. The microelectronic revolution is fascinating; 55 years
ago, in late 1947, the transistor was invented, and everybody knows
that it was by William Shockley, John Bardeen and Walter H.
Brattein, Bell Telephone Laboratories, which received the Nobel
Prize in Physics in 1956. Probably, everybody thinks that it was
recognized immediately as a major invention.
