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.

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

Adaptive Thermal Comfort: Principles and Practice

The fundamental function of buildings is to provide safe and healthy shelter. For the fortunate they also provide comfort and delight. In the twentieth century comfort became a 'product' produced by machines and run on cheap energy. In a world where fossil fuels are becoming ever scarcer and more expensive and the climate more extreme the challenge of designing comfortable buildings today requires a new approach. This timely book is the first in a trilogy from leaders in the field which will provide just that. It explains in a clear and comprehensible manner how we stay comfortable by using our bodies minds buildings and their systems to adapt to indoor and outdoor conditions which change with the weather and the climate. The book is in two sections. The first introduces the principles on which the theory of adaptive thermal comfort is based. The second explains how to use field studies to measure thermal comfort in practice and to analyze the data gathered. Architects have gradually passed responsibility for building performance to service engineers who are largely trained to see comfort as the �product� designed using simplistic comfort models. The result has contributed to a shift to buildings that use ever more energy. A growing international consensus now calls for low-energy buildings. This means designers must first produce robust passive structures that provide occupants with many opportunities to make changes to suit their environmental needs. Ventilation using free natural energy should be preferred and mechanical conditioning only used when the climate demands it. This book outlines the theory of adaptive thermal comfort that is essential to understand and inform such building designs. This book should be required reading for all students teachers and practitioners of architecture building engineering and management � for all who have a role in producing and occupying twenty-first century adaptive low-car | Adaptive Thermal Comfort: Principles and Practice
