It is now widely accepted that transport is becoming increasingly
unsustainable and that strong policy intervention is required to
reduce both the growth in transport demand and the environmental
costs of transport. This book challenges conventional approaches to
transport by moving away from trend based analysis towards the use
of scenarios to identify alternative sustainable transport futures.
It both summaries the development of EU transport policy and
presents a critique. The policy context is widened to include the
global changes taking place in economics, society and technology.
It develops new methodologies for policy making for the next 25
years.

From the time when Alexander the Great conquered the world and
almost until the Romans lost theirs, a small village in Thy
survived all sorts of challenges, among these climate change,
opening and closing of the Limfjord estuary and possibly wars, in a
location well away from the 'civilised' world. Preserved partly by
the inhabitants continuous use of chalk for floors and forecourts
and partly by subsequently having been covered by accumulating
layers of sand or clay, large amounts of bones, bone tools,
ceramics, metal objects, macrofossils and many other materials have
now been excavated and analysed. This work was done by a small team
consisting of an archaeologist, a zoologist and a couple of experts
in macrofossils. The results considerably widen our knowledge about
husbandry, agriculture, hunting, fishing, bone tool making, metal
work, textiles and much more from the period considered. Important
finds such as whale-bones, a single cockerel, maybe even a donkey
are among the more exotic finds that broaden the bigger picture.
The analysis also shows how the village mound evolved, with houses
being expanded or made smaller, and farms being relocated over
time. The Smedegard publication presents much of what is missing in
terms of our knowledge of many Iron Age settlements in Denmark and
can help the reader to achieve a more vivid impression of life in
the Early Iron Age of Denmark.
Audra K. Jensen' son began reading when he was only two years old.
She shares her experiences -- both the challenges and joys - of
raising a child with autism and hyperlexia - an early and obsessive
interest in the written word associated with social deficits and
significant difficulty in understanding verbal language. The author
stresses the importance of diagnosis of the condition for
successful implementation of effective teaching strategies and
encouragement of more typical childhood development. As well as
useful advice, this guide provides a comprehensive reading
curriculum specially designed for young, challenged children to
help promote their reading ability. When Babies Read also offers
practical suggestions on how to modify teaching and therapy
programmes to suit a child's individual learning style, how to
create and use social stories with the hyperlexic child, and how to
obtain an appropriate education for the hyperlexic child. A chapter
dedicated to the older child with hyperlexia includes strategies
for dealing with entrenched behaviours and attitudes. This
practical guide will prove invaluable for parents of children with
autism and hyperlexia.

The contributors to this topical volume explore the role of family
support in promoting the welfare of children and their families.
They show how children can be supported in the development of their
full potential despite adverse experiences. Family support enables
children to access the variety of resources available to them in
the multiplicity of contexts in which they live.;This book
integrates concepts and experiences from an international
perspective, different levels of analysis (society, community and
family) and different loci of intervention (education, social
services and local government). Specific areas covered include:
principles of family and social support; social networks and social
change in the family and the community; reciprocal; support between
families,schools and the community; restoring the balance of
control between parents and children; supporting young people who
misuse drugs.;"Family Support" presents current knowledge about
family support and sets out directions for future developments in
thinking and service provision. It shows how an understanding of
the complexity and potential of family support can inform and
enrich the work of educators, professio
