Social Action with Children and Families A Community Development Approach to Child and Family Welfare

Social Action with Children and Families A Community Development Approach to Child and Family Welfare

Meeting the needs of children at the same time as promoting family life is more than a question of resources: it needs a culture change in social services: a rediscovery and a modernization of the social action and community development traditions in social work. In Social Action with Children and Families the authors argue that ways must be found to work together to promote environments in which children can flourish and to develop forms of public life which are friendly to children and their parents. Recent changes in child care systems have put more pressures on those working in it. Social workers have become more open to public scrutiny and are expected to respond to problems rooted in social and economic aspects of their clients' or services users' lives. Legislation stresses working in partnership with parents other professionals and community groups. The central aim of Social Action with Children and Families is to help those working in this field to find a new more positive sense of direction and purpose. It will be invaluable reading to those studying social work social policy and public administration as well as to all professionals working in these areas. | Social Action with Children and Families A Community Development Approach to Child and Family Welfare

The Sounds of Language An Introduction to Phonetics

The Sounds of Language An Introduction to Phonetics

Phonetics is the scientific study of sounds used in language- how the sounds are produced how they are transferred from the speaker to the hearer and how they are heard and perceived. The Sounds of Language provides an accessible general introduction to phonetics with a special emphasis on English. Focusing on the phonetics of English the first section allows students to get an overall view of the subject. Two standard accents of English are presented- RP (Received Pronunciation) the standard accent of England and GA (General American) the standard accent throughout much of North America. The discussion is arranged so that students can read only the RP or GA portions if desired. Sixteen additional accents of English spoken around the world are also covered to provide students with wider international coverage. The author then moves on to introduce acoustics phonetics in an accessible manner for those without a science background. The last section of the book provides a detailed discussion of all aspects of speech with extensive examples from languages around the world. Containing student-friendly features such as extensive exercises for practising the sounds covered in each chapter; a glossary of technical terms; instructions on how to write phonetic symbols; the latest International Phonetic Alphabet chart and a detailed list of English consonantal variants The Sounds of Language provides an excellent introduction to phonetics to students of linguistics and speech pathology and students of English as a second language. | The Sounds of Language An Introduction to Phonetics

Handbook of Frauds Scams and Swindles Failures of Ethics in Leadership

Handbook of Frauds Scams and Swindles Failures of Ethics in Leadership

It has been said that scammers and swindlers often display characteristics commonly attributed to good leadership. These include setting a vision communicating it clearly and motivating others to follow their lead. But when these skills are used by unconscionable people to satisfy greed how can the average person recognize that foul play is afoot? Providing a unique account of frauds throughout modern history Handbook of Frauds Scams and Swindles: Failures of Ethics in Leadership compiles narratives from around the world including a number of highly-publicized cases. Leading financial and investigative experts have authored the individual chapters yet the book maintains a reader-friendly style. The result is a text that is highly engaging and most importantly provides regulators and investigators with an understanding of the motivations and behavior common to the individuals behind these life-damaging crimes. The book includes a wealth of stories including famous cases such as Ponzi ZZZZ Best Enron Parmalat and Vivendi along with lesser-known scandals involving both corporations and individuals. There is also a section on frauds perpetrated for motives other than financial rewards including instances when the government performed experiments on humans without their knowledge or consent as well as stories on frauds involving science and religion. A section detailing the Arthur Anderson debacle discusses the compounding of a fraud when the supposed watchdog plays a complicit role. And recognizing that not every issue is black or white the book also explores whether a hoax perpetrated in the name of a noble cause can ever be justified. By reviewing the tactics used by swindlers and the motivations that turned good people crooked investigators and others will come to recognize the red flags that accompany unscrupulous behavior.
