The book offers explicit lessons from a variety of programs on planning and implementation, strategies for growth and survival, instructional methods, and marketing programs to students.'--Ramon C. Cortines, executive director, Council for Chief State School OfficersStudents who do not complete college face limited prospects in today's increasingly complex workplace. Yet, only about one quarter of the nation's high school graduates go on to complete a four-year degree. In response to this pressing issue, schools and businesses have started to collaborate in offering job preparation and training programs at the high school level. This book, based on a nationwide study of sixteen programs in twelve states, looks at a wide array of the most promising school-to-work efforts and offers practical insights for both educators and employers on how to make these programs more effective.

Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - This book turns the received wisdom of European history inside out. From discussions of the Gothic, Hun and Vandal invasions and the fall of the Roman Empire, through other great events and issues of European history, Josep Fontana re-examines the traditional acceptance of such ideas as classical heritage, medieval Christendom, reformation and counter-reformation, absolutism, and the idea of progress. At the same time he draws attention to the existence and validity of dissidence, rebellion and variety which are, for him, identifying marks of Europe.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - The Nottingham model of care, working with children and their parents, evolved in response to the needs of children and families and out of a shared commitment to change. The Children's Unit in Nottingham has a high profile nationally and internationally and has striven to adapt, create and develop innovative practice to meet the needs of sick children and their families. Childrens Nursing in Practice: The Nottingham Model outlines the practice application of the model with numerous case studies. It challenges accepted practice and provides a theoretical and conceptual framework to guide and enchance the delivery of care within children's units. In Nottingham, parents, families and nurses work together to create a 'homelike' environment that enables children and families to maintain some control over their lives by facilitating the development of additional caring skills and knowledge. This is achieved by a process of staff development and the creation of a supportive environment. The model is about caring not only for patients and relatives but also staff. With increasing interest in nursing theories and models and their application to practice, this book is an essential source of information for all practitioners working with children.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - 'Stafford Beer is undoubtedly among the world's most provocative, creative, and profound thinkers on the subject of management, and he records his thinking with a flair that is unmatched. His writing is as much art as it is science. He is the most viable system I know.' Dr Russell L Ackoff, The Institute for Interactive Management, Pennsylvania, USA. 'If anyone can make it [Operations Research] understandably readable and positively interesting it is Stafford Beer everyone in management should be grateful to him for using clear and at times elegant English and even elegant diagrams.' The Economist This is the companion volume to Brain of the Firm and addresses the nature of viable systems, those capable of surviving. It does not use the neurophysiological basis elucidated in brain, but develops the same theory from first principles. This book declares that every enterprise is a system, and in particular must be a viable system. Viability is not just a matter of economic solvency; we need laws that govern the capacity of any enterprise to maintain independent existence. The Heart of Enterprise is full of examples (actual, author-generated examples) taken from management practice. 'I consistently find that Stafford Beer provides the most useful analytical framework for understanding and managing an enterprise--public or private. Heart of The Enterprise offers a demanding but rewarding exposition of his approach and applications.' Sir Douglas Hague. CBE.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - The Aboveground Steel Storage Tank Handbook I like the summary of regulations in conjunction with industry standards and products. Usually a book covers one or the other. --Wayne Geyer, Executive Vice-President, Steel Tank Institute I think this is a valuable text in that it does a very good job presenting the two types of ASTs. --Darryl J. Butkos, Hydrogeologist and Environmental Engineer The U.S. aboveground storage tank (AST) market will approach $2.0 billion in 1995 and has an annual growth rate of approximately 5 percent. Shop-built ASTs have proliferated over the last 10 years and are replacing the underground tanks that have caused a large percentage of groundwater contamination. Larger field-erected tanks are now found at almost every industrial facility because of their greater reliability and the lessened risk of environmental spills. The Aboveground Steel Storage Tank Handbook discusses the myriad of regulations, codes, and manufacturing standards and shows how they are intertwined. It is the first handbook on aboveground storage tanks that explains the unique differences between field-erected ASTs and shop-built ASTs. The authors have divided the Handbook into four easy-to-understand sections: Markets, Regulations, Standards, and Products. Anyone who finds himself or herself working through the maze of the AST compliance paperwork will find this book to be a great benefit as a single-source reference guide.
