New Hardcover . Environmental education and training is a relatively young, dynamic and immensely complex field for study and interpretation. Indeed it concerns itself with learning and training relating to complex issues that at times themselves defy human understanding. It is a field characterized by a paradox: Few would doubt the urgency and importance of learning to live in sustainable ways of conserving the world natural resources and taking care of the earth today so that future generations may not only meet their own needs, but also enjoy life on our planet. Yet environmental education and training hold nowhere near the priority position in formal education and training programmes around the world. This book attempts to unravel some of the causes of and tensions in this paradoxical situation to explore the complexities of the subject matter of the field; to explain what is actually happening in the world of environmental education at the close of twentieth century; and to consider aspects of the fieldaEUR s priorities and potential as we have entered the twenty-first century. The usefulness of this book is also reflected in its guideline principles out lining the framework and up-to-date account of environmental education and training in the Asian perspective.

- Broschur 4;; 711 Seiten; Bibliotheksstempel auf Rückseite Haupttitel, geringe farbliche Unregelmäßigkeit von abgelöster Etikette, sonst wohlerhaltenes Buch; komplett dreisprachig (Französisch, Englisch, Spanisch) - The necessity of enhancing human development resources, of ensuring that people themselves take part in the economic and social development of their country, is nowadays recognised as one of the most important factors of development. From this perspective, the European Union strives to give education and training the place that they deserve in its policy of cooperation with the Least-Developed Countries. With this in mind, the European Commission has decided to produce a directory which aims to make an exhaustive and homogeneous inventory of the training possibilities that are offered in the ACP countries. This directory will enable every national of those countries to make a better choice from the range of advanced training opportunities offered to him in his own country or in a neighbouring country. This is the first edition of the directory. It presents training courses in a restricted number of fields that are particularly vital to the countries in the South. I hope that many people will benefit from this development tool. - - -

With a new baby boomer turning 60 every ten seconds, we are rapidly becoming an aging society. But cutting edge science research on the connection between age and disease shows us that many of the preconceptions we had about how to grow old need a second look. This ground-breaking book is full of take away prescriptive advice which the nearly 75 million boomers in this nation will value. Top gerontologist and Stanford Medical School Faculty Dr. Walter Bortz and co-author Randall Stickrod draw on a new science and a thirty-year longitudinal study of centenarians to show that: - Genetics plays a smaller role in aging than previously thought -Senility, dementia, and other diseases of the elderly, are largely preventable and not an inevitable consequence of aging - Engagement, through sexual relationships, social interaction, and professional activity, are key factors in long healthy lives - Physical fitness can recover at least 30 years of aging Filled with in-depth insight and practical advice, The Roadmap to 100 gives you the power to control your own destiny and live well far beyond 100.

Jobs and organizations are changing more and more rapidly. These changes go along with increasing demands, job insecurity, and feelings of stress and overload. Although all economic sectors are confronted with such drastic changes and negative consequences, this book shows that there are of a special nature in the human service industry. However, at the same time, many changes also pose challenges and produce resources that may cause learning, growth, and development. In addition to the more traditional view that focuses on the negative effects of organizational change, this book also emphasizes the potential positive aspects. Since 1985 the European Network of Organizational Psychologists (ENOP) has initiated a series of conferences in the field of health care. The IX conference took place in October 2005 in Dresden. Traditionally, job stress factors and mental health have been the main topics in earlier conferences but since the turn of the century a positive approach emerged that focused on resources instead of demands and on well-being instead of stress. Therefore, the Dresden conference focused on 'Psychological Resources in Human Service Work'. This volume includes 15 contributions from authors of 9 countries from Europe and Canada. The contributions are structured in three sections. The first section includes chapters about work conditions and organizational changes in human service work, especially in nurses and teachers. The second section deals with organizational and emotional stress factors, and well-being. The final section includes chapters about knowledge work in health care and competence training.

In the last decade, nearly every state in the U.S. has introduced a Graduated Driver Licensing (GDL) program to limit the exposure of teenage drivers to high-risk conditions during the first years after licensure. This book evaluates the effectiveness of GDL programs in reducing teen traffic fatalities over the period between 1992 and 2006. This book also investigates the psychological functions of driving and risky driving as perceived by adolescents and the factors underlying psychological functions of driving and risky driving. Furthermore, the impact of accident duration on traffic congestion is also analysed, as well as the multiple factors that may affect driving performance. Other chapters in this book examine the injury risks experienced by vulnerable road users and challenges in obtaining accurate information on the magnitude and circumstances of their crashes, studies where human factors related to occupational accidents are analysed, and an evaluation of the factors that are associated with the risk perception to have night-time car crashes in young drivers, as well as the strategies most commonly used to counteract sleepiness at the wheels. Implications of the study on road safety and recommendations for future research are also discussed.

The book discusses advances in projection technologies used for simulation in military and security applications. More specifically, the subject of this book is using high-resolution projection display technology for simulating night vision device conditions while increasing the distance that objects can be simulated under simulated daylight conditions. Topics covered include: advances in high-resolution projection, advances in image generation, advances in geographic modelling or photogrammetric technologies, night vision goggle human factors research, night vision goggle training techniques. The book will have special features including graphs and systems operational architectural diagrams specific to these domains. The main benefit the reader will gain from this book is that it will present leading edge methods for conducting human factors research for night vision device research, while also presenting leading edge technologies used design and apply visual displays for current simulations.
