Work, Family, Health, and Well-Being grew out of a conference held
in Washington, D.C. in June 2003 on "Workforce/Workplace Mismatch:
Work, Family, Health, and Well-Being" sponsored by the National
Institutes of Health (NIH). The text considers multiple dimensions
of health and well-being for workers and their families, children,
and communities. Investigations into the socioeconomic gradient in
health within broad occupational categories have raised important
questions about the role of specific working conditions versus the
role of conditions of employment such as wages and level of job
security afforded a worker and his/her family in affecting health
outcomes. Organized into seven parts, this text: *provides an
overview of changes in work and family time and time use;
*dedicates a section focusing specifically on employers and
workplaces; *explores disciplinary perspectives on work, family,
health, and well-being; *focuses on the most studied work and
family nexus, the interrelationship between parental employment,
especially maternal employment and the child's well-being;
*examines gender differences in the division of labor, the effect
of marriage on health, the shifting nature of care-giving
throughout life, and the role of work on various health and
well-being outcomes; *explores occupational health literature; and
*focuses on the unique work-family issues faced by low-income
families and workers in low-wage jobs. This book appeals to anyone
in the fields of psychology, sociology, family studies,
demographics, economics, anthropology, and social work.
The Beautiful History charts the fascinating story of Britain
through football club badges. From Premier League giants to
non-league sides, it features over 100 clubs, with each badge
coming alive to reveal the story behind it, whilst also giving
events in history an exciting and engaging twist, as it takes you
on a footballing journey from the dinosaurs to the digital age.
What does Colchester United's eagle tell us about Roman Britain?
Why do the badges of three football clubs feature the Mayflower,
the ship on which the Pilgrim Fathers set sail for the New World?
Why does the Norwich City canary celebrate 16th-century refugees,
and which team honours the Battle of Britain and why? The Beautiful
History holds all the answers and links football to key dates like
1066 and 1588, with tales that are often surprising, quirky or
laugh-out-loud funny. An engaging, informative and fun book for
fans of all ages, it includes activities, places to visit, a
football timeline and quiz.

All six episodes of Victoria Wood's BAFTA award-winning 1980s
sketch show in which she showcases her mischievous perception of
daily life. The tongue-in-cheek blend of songs, sketches and the
tacky soap opera 'Acorn Antiques,' sees Wood ably assisted by
friends including Julie Walters, Celia Imrie, Patricia Routledge
and Susie Blake.
The Beautiful Badge tells the fascinating story behind the UK's
football club badges, from 1860s hand-embroidered symbols on
home-knitted jerseys to today's multi-million pound brands. The
book not only covers hammers, cannon and Liver birds but also
reveals the link between Peterhead FC and Viz comic; which TV
celebrity designed Aldershot Town FC's badge; and whose GBP10
doodle became the opposition's badge. Some clubs have sported ten
or more different badges over the decades, ranging from their
town's coat of arms to cartoon insects and initials. Promotion,
moving to a new stadium or an owner with controversial views often
results in a new badge. The book plots the influence of fashion,
technology and fans, and investigates the tensions between clubs
and supporters over changes to their beloved badge. Do you know why
your club's badge looks the way it does? The Beautiful Badge is
essential reading for football enthusiasts, historians, designers
and anyone who enjoys putting their feet up in the boot room.

Advanced cementitious composites can be designed to have
outstanding combinations of strength (five to ten times that of
conventional concrete) and energy absorption capacity (up to 1000
times that of plain concrete). This second edition brings together
in one volume the latest research developments in this rapidly
expanding area. The book is split into two parts. The first part is
concerned with the mechanics of fibre reinforced brittle matrices
and the implications for cementitious systems. In the second part
the authors describe the various types of fibre-cement composites,
discussing production processes, mechanical and physical
properties, durability and applications. Two new chapters have been
added, covering fibre specification and structural applications.
Fibre Reinforced Cementitious Composites will be of great interest
to practitioners involved in modern concrete technology and will
also be of use to academics, researchers and graduate students.
Nostalgia is a topic that most lay people are familiar with, but,
until recently, few social scientists understood. Once viewed as a
disease, nostalgia is now considered to be an important
psychological resource. It involves revisiting personally cherished
memories that involve close others. When people engage in
nostalgia, they experience a boost in positive psychological states
such as positive mood, feelings of social connectedness,
self-esteem, self-continuity, and perceptions of meaning in life.
Since nostalgia promotes these positive states, when people
experience negative states (such as loneliness or meaninglessness),
they use nostalgia to regulate distress. This book explains in
detail what nostalgia is, how views of it have changed over time,
and how it has been studied by social scientists. It explores
issues like how common nostalgia is and whether people differ in
their tendency to be nostalgic. It looks at the triggers and
inspiration for nostalgia, and the emotional states that are
associated with it. Finally, the psychological, social, and
behavioral effects of engaging in nostalgia are discussed. This
volume provides the most comprehensive overview to date of the
social scientific research into the complex and intriguing
phenomenon of nostalgia. It will be of interest to a range of
students and researchers in psychology and beyond, and its
accessible writing style and engaging anecdotes will also be
appreciated by a wider, non-academic audience.
This volume looks at school-university partnerships from
sociocultural perspectives of learning that view participation in
social practice as fundamental to the process of learning. Its two
major themes - school-university partnership and sociocultural and
social theories of learning - have both been treated extensively in
the literature. It is the bringing together of these two themes
that makes this book unique. In this examination of an evolving
model of school-university partnership, the Unified Professional
Development Project in Hong Kong, the authors analyze the learning
that takes place as the participants (student-teachers, mentor
teachers, and university supervisors) mutually engage in the
enterprise of improving teaching and learning in schools,
developing shared practices, and creating new communities of
practice. Although it describes one specific context, the book is
not just about this locale. Rather, the Unified Professional
Development Project is used as a context for theorizing more
generally a social theory of learning for school-university
partnerships that is relevant to any other similar context. This
book will interest teacher educators, researchers in teacher
education and teacher development, policy makers, and school
practitioners who are involved in school-university partnerships.

Published in 1900. From Atoms to Warships and everything in
between, Robert Routledge lists a vast and varied illustrated
collection of the revolutionary advances in engineering and
pioneering discoveries of the 19th century.
This extensively revised second edition of The Geopolitics Reader
draws together the most influential and significant geopolitical
readings from the last hundred years. A compendium of divergent
viewpoints of global conflict and change, it includes readings from
Halford Mackinder, Theodore Roosevelt, Adolf Hitler, George Kennan,
Samuel Huntington, Edward Said, Osama Bin Laden and American
neoconservatives. It draws on the most illuminating examples of
imperial, Cold War and contemporary geopolitics, as well as new
environmental themes, global dangers and multiple resistances to
the practices of geopolitics. Whilst retaining a coherent five part
structure, the selection of readings has been updated to account
for recent developments in the critical study of geopolitics and
the post 9/11 geopolitical landscape (including issues in
technoscience, biowarfare, oil politics, and terrorism), and key
questions address issues of the transformed nature of threats in
the new millennium, the debate over the hegemonic position of the
US, and non-American perspectives on contemporary geopolitics.
Skilfully guiding the reader through the divergent viewpoints of
global conflict and change, the editors, all leading geopolitical
authorities, provide comprehensive introductions and critical
commentaries at the start of each section. Illustrated with
provocative cartoons, this second edition of The Geopolitics Reader
is the ideal textbook for introductory classes on international
relations, world politics, political geography and, of course,
geopolitics, provoking lively discussion of how questions of
discourse and power are at the centre of the critical study of
geopolitics.
