Authoritative and contemporary research on the economic expansion
of Southern China is collected in this major new volume which
explores models and patterns of development in Guangdong, with
particular emphasis on the differences across this economically
vibrant region. Economic and Social Development in South China
brings together research by a pioneering team of academic
researchers and includes statistical data on the Pearl River Delta
as well as analysis of the metropolitan development in Guangzhou
municipal city, civil service reform and social policy in Shenzhen,
Guangzhou's municipal leadership and the basic level elections in
the region since 1979. Other issues discussed include foreign
outward direct investment from Guangdong, the creation of effective
environmental law, foreign investment in Guangdong and the
emergence of private education in the Pearl River Delta. Southern
China's creative approaches to the difficulties and problems
encountered since reforms began in the 1970s is rigorously analysed
and explored by scholars with exceptional access to local sources
and data. Economic and Social Development in South China shows how
the use of competing models of economic development encouraged by
the authorities will influence and shape the future of the country
as a whole.
Originally published in 1983 Approaches to Welfare provides a
unique introduction to the study of social welfare in Britain. The
contributions, by distinguished figures in the field of social
welfare and social policy, explore all the dimensions of the study
of social welfare demonstrating that not only have social policies
changed in the forty years since the establishment of the welfare
state, but so too have approaches to their analysis. The
contributors consider these changes in relation to a wide range of
social welfare issues, illuminating the diversity and variety
within the contemporary study of social policy.

First published in 1998, this volume examines how women in general
and how the socio-economic and cultural factors affect the health
and nutritional status of the mother, reproductive status,

childbirth, lactation and more.
First published in 1998, this volume features case studies which
reflect the central mission of the ICSW (International Council on
Social Welfare) to advance social justice, welfare and development.
Contributors including practitioners, policy makers and academics
have produced articles rich in reflections on real-life projects
and experiences, representing countries at various stages of
economic and social development. Issues discussed include poverty
alleviation, social development trends in late 20th century Asia,
and opportunities and education for women and the disabled, along
with international priorities for social welfare and development.
This title was first published in 2000: There has been considerable
academic interest in the innovative development programme taking
place in Kerala, India. Much has been published on the specific
"achievements" of the programme, such as literacy, health care,
communication and demographic indicators. However, lurking beneath
the surface are the harsh realities of chronic unemployment,
poverty and deprivation among the elderly and weaker sections of
the society, the oppression of women and the inefficiency of the
government. These problems are revealed in this book through
in-depth empirical research undertaken by a native Keralan. In the
light of this material, this text questions whether the Kerala
model of development should indeed be regarded as worth emulation.

This book presents the most extensive general review of the pitcher
plants of the Americas yet undertaken -- it is a substantive
overview of the systematics, biology, ecology, biogeography, and
conservation of the five genera of American pitcher plants (s.l.),
including three genera of true pitcher plants (Darlingtonia,
Heliamphora, and Sarracenia) and two genera of carnivorous tank
bromeliads (Brocchinia, Catopsis). Here is information about some
45 species, hybrids, and cultivars, consolidated and presented in
detail, along with more than 200 spectacular color photographs.
This beautiful and informative study of these alluring plants will
be appreciated by a wide audience of naturalists, botanists,
ecologists, biogeographers, resource managers, and
horticulturalists -- among others!
