The team behind the award-winning APE returns with an inspiring
look at a range of endangered species sure to engage every child
who loves animals.
Tigers are pretty special -- and so are ground iguanas and partula
snails and even white-rumped vultures. But these and many other
animals are in danger of disappearing altogether, joining the dodo,
the marsupial wolf, the great auk, and countless other animals we
will never see again. Using the experiences of a few endangered
species as examples, Martin Jenkins highlights the ways human
behavior can either threaten or conserve the amazing animals that
share our planet. Vicky White's stunning portraits of rare
creatures offer a glimpse of nature's grace and beauty -- and give
us a powerful reason to preserve it.

New Labour's modernisation agenda has produced an avalanche of
change that has posed formidable challenges for everyone involved
in social work, whether as service users, practitioners or
managers. "Modernising Social Work" provides a radical appraisal of
the far-reaching changes in their theoretical, historical and
policy contexts. The book is organised into three sections that
consider: the inter-relationship of modernisation and
managerialism, modernisation's impact on service users and the ways
in which social workers and front-line managers seek to exercise
professional discretion for the benefit of service users within a
workplace culture of intensified scrutiny and control. Analysis of
a range of key developments in all three areas reveals the
modernisation agenda as complex and contested. The book's three
sections cover the main issues of the modernisation agenda, making
it ideal for teaching. Locating the issues in their theoretical,
historical and policy contexts meets the needs of student readers
and experienced social workers will appreciate the emphasis on
empirical research as well as practice experience.
