Begin the Millennium Rhyme presents the authors original song lyrics over five decades, at the end of the twentieth century, into the new millennium. Raised in the American West in the 1950s and 1960s, Richardson chronicles a personal narrative in 124 song lyrics, the internal and cultural shifts, tenor, and style of his era, reflecting the influences of folk-rock and Americana songwriting. His writing takes the reader on a journey of short stories in rhyme, of time and place. These crafted stories are married to rhythm and melody, as sung on guitar, solo, or performed in band arrangements and sound recordings. This collection offers autobiographical and social observations of an American songwriter in the late twentieth century.
This book presents a narrative review of current models of recovery and empowerment on people with severe mental disorders, and the impact of these models and approaches on assistance policies. The authors review conceptual frameworks, research findings, key predictors of recovery and empowerment, evaluation instruments and criteria, and user and families' perspectives on recovery and empowerment. Contemporary ideas of recovery, often referred to as personal recovery, emerged in the USA in the 1970s and 1980s through first person accounts of the lived experience of mental health problems and through accompanying consumer and human rights movements. However, the origins of the recovery movement in mental health can be traced back over several hundred years. The books describes many of these historical influences and the roots of today's approaches to recovery. It also provides a detailed discussion of the concept of, and approach to, empowerment. Whilst acknowledging the diverse definitions of recovery and the associated challenges of its meaningful measurement, the authors also aim to engage with the concept of recovery. Many studies of recovery are helpfully brought together here for the reader, but personal recovery, as a process and outcome, should be much more central to mental health research. A diverse audience of mental health professionals, teachers, students, and researchers, will find this a valuable reference source.
Teachers, schools and education authorities invariably hide their considerable lights and their public relations techniques are often inadequate for broadcasting the invaluable work accomplished in schools. This book offers clear-cut and highly –practical advice for every teacher from pre-school to sixth form on how to get the educational message across to parents. Over the past decades it has become an acute professional concern for teachers to involve parents as closely as possible in the educational process. The book acknowledges that educational salesmanship must be adapted to the cultural norms of its customers and that many teachers, because of their background and training, have reservations about their role as publicists. Set out here is a logical and orderly path of action to help everyone from the most extrovert to the most diffident.

St. Louis' story stands for the story of all those cities whose ambitions and civic self-image, forged from the growth of the mercantile and industrial eras, have been dramatically altered over time. More dramatically, perhaps, than most but in a manner shared by all St. Louis' changing economic base, shifting population, and altered landscape have forced scholars, policymakers, and residents alike to acknowledge the transiency of what once seemed inexorable metropolitan trends: concentration, growth, accumulated wealth, and generally improved well-being. In this book, Eric Sandweiss scrutinizes the everyday landscape streets, houses, neighborhoods, and public buildings as it evolved in a classic American city.Bringing to life the spaces that most of us pass without noticing, he reveals how the processes of dividing, trading, improving, and dwelling upon land are acts that reflect and shape social relations. From its origins as a French colonial settlement in the eighteenth century to the present day, "St Louis" offers a story not just about how our past is diagramed in brick and asphalt, but also about the American city's continuing viability as a place where the balance of individual rights and collective responsibilities can be debated, demonstrated, and adjusted for generations to come. -- Amazon.com.

The project "Deep-water communities in the West-Nordic Area" was funded by the Nordic Coucil of Ministers in the years 2006 - 2008. The aim was to provide information about the community structure and diversity of epibenthic megafauna in the western region of the Nordic Seas. The focus was on the importance of hard substrate in the formation and definition of animal communities. In the photographs analysed, community structure was found to vary strongly between sites in Icelandic waters but not much within sites. Furthermore, community structure seemed to be strongly effected by the presence of any hard surfaces rather than just the clear difference between soft and hard bottoms which has often been reported as being the important ecological distinction. The wider scope provided by video data from the Jan Mayen region showed a highly patchy distribution of epifauna and that patches are often dominated by a single macrofaunal species or a few closely related species. This patchiness seems to be the result of presence or absence of hard surfaces to act as anchor sites for sessile and semi-sessile species. Two important questions raised by this project are: why is distribution of much of the megafauna in the study area organized in such species-specific patches and are such patchiness and observed diversity patterns typical for the region. Also, it suggests that in order to protect the true diversity of the region marine protected areas will have to be large and not limited to small areas of a specific bottom type. We recommend further ecological and biological studies in the area before human exploitation is allowed on a large scale.
