Good good.
Everything went smoothly with my transaction. The textbook is informative and easy to navigate through.

An Early Childhood Parent Involvement Book For Special Needs Children
I stumbled across this book via a professor.Thank God I found it, for it fits neatly into a niche of early childhood education (the early childhood special educator)that needs fresh blood.

Those familar with IDEA and its pieces will find nothing new about it albeit different words for the same explanation; however, the parent involvement angle will inform.I especially liked the section on educational support services.Many teachers will find that they lack the very basic knowledge to direct parents of special needs children to the correct resources that they themselves cannot provide.

So many superlatives this book due to its niche-filling nature exist that I cannot mention them all.I recommend this book with respectable poise. ... Read more

Interpretive outcomes and survey findings update ethnographic accounts of the 1950s and provide more recent empirical data to support policy and programme initiatives for influencing male reproductive behaviour and father roles. A synthesis of phenomenology and rational choice theory and a sequential mixed methods QUAL?QUAN?QUAL research design builds on each phase of inquiry. The interpretive outcomes suggest that associatedmeanings are socially constructed during primary socialization and later determines behaviours in intimate relationships and the manifestation of father roles. Behaviours are differentially influenced by individual characteristics, socioeconomic status, the situations in which the behaviours occur and sociocultural factors. Qualitative assessment ofprogramme and policy initiatives suggest a greater advocacy and support role for the media, civil society organizations, and state agencies. Full engagement of policy - gender, family and population, and programme initiatives directed at men in the context of male reproductive behaviour and fatherhood are also indicated.

Product Description
Nowhere else in the world can compare with the incredible array of domestic architecture in America. It sometimes seems that there are as many styles of houses as there are actual number of houses. While the earliest American houses were largely derived from English or Dutch prototypes, the diversity for which America is so celebrated soon emerged, reflecting mostly how Americans used their homes, as well as local and regional tastes and vernacular and folk origins from around the world. The variety and dynamism in the style of homes in that emerging pluralistic society marches on today in homes designed by adventuresome architects and clients.

In this extraordinary celebration of the American house, renowned author David Larkin, with commentary by some of today's leading architectural historians and critics, examines the paths that have led to distinctively American homes. Special attention is given to examining details of the makeup of each house as well as the functions of "the home" and how these functions have changed just as technology, social relations, and living arrangements have changed in the United States over the past 400 years.

Filled with more than 400 beautiful color photographs, this book also contains six double gatefolds, which offer dramatic presentations of the elements and details that make up the variety of architectural styles in American residential architecture. No other illustrated history of the American house can come close to this full portrayal of the historical and stylistic ranges of the place we call "home."

American Homes and Architecture
A beautiful big book of photographs, some of them fold-out, it presents in exquisite detail a history of America's finest homes and architecture. Selecting delicious cream puff examples of how we have lived in all regions of the United States, this book would appeal to most people, who would enjoy at least a one-time careful reading and multiple returns to browse its pages.
The only downside to this big beauty is its sheer weight, requiring strong hands and arms and a solid space to rest it on.
Definitely recommended for every home-lover's library. ... Read more
