Volunteers in Prison After-Care The Report of the Teamwork Associates Pilot Project

Volunteers in Prison After-Care The Report of the Teamwork Associates Pilot Project

Originally published in 1971 volunteers in the social services were being asked to undertake increasingly demanding and responsible work particularly in the field of prison after-care. Effective professional leadership and support were therefore essential. Hugh Barr’s report describes a pilot project in London in which he tried to build effective partnership between professionals and volunteers and between statutory and voluntary agencies. It is a report that was immediately relevant in the field of probation and after-care at the time and had implications in general for the future of the personal social services. Separate chapters discuss recruitment motivation preparation selection and supervision of the volunteers; illustrations of their work are included and an attempt is made to evaluate the results of the project. The book ends with a study of the implications for future projects and of the ever-widening scope for the volunteer who will use his leisure to match society’s need. ‘This is a man writing about something he has a hand in creating’ (from the Foreword). | Volunteers in Prison After-Care The Report of the Teamwork Associates Pilot Project

History and Material Culture A Student's Guide to Approaching Alternative Sources

History and Material Culture A Student's Guide to Approaching Alternative Sources

Sources are the raw material of History but whereas the written word has traditionally been seen as the principal source historians now recognize the value of sources beyond text. In this new edition of History and Material Culture contributors consider a range of objects – from an eighteenth-century bed curtain to a twenty-first-century shopping trolley – which can help historians develop new interpretations and new knowledge about the past. Containing two new chapters on healing objects in East Africa and the shopping trolley in the social world this book examines a variety of material sources from around the globe and across centuries to assess how such sources can be used to study the distant and the recent past. In a revised introduction Karen Harvey discusses some of the principal issues raised when historians use material culture particularly in the context of 'the material turn' and suggests some initial steps for those unfamiliar with these kinds of sources. While the sources are discussed from interdisciplinary perspectives the emphasis of the book is on what historians stand to gain from using material culture as well as what historians have to offer the broader study of material culture. Clearly written and accessible this book is the ideal introduction to the opportunities and challenges of researching material culture and is essential reading for all students of historical theory and method. | History and Material Culture A Student's Guide to Approaching Alternative Sources

Transport Revolutions Moving People and Freight Without Oil

Transport Revolutions Moving People and Freight Without Oil

First released in 2007 the bestselling Transport Revolutions argued that land transport in the first half of the 21st century will feature at least two revolutions. One will involve the use of electric drives rather than internal combustion engines. Another will involve powering many of these drives directly from the electric grid - as trains and trolley buses are powered today - rather than from on-board fuel. Now available for the first time in paperback and updated with the most recent data it sets out the challenges to our growing dependence on transport fuelled by low-priced oil. These challenges include an early peak in world oil production and profound climate change resulting in part from oil use. It proposes responses to ensure effective secure movement of people and goods in ways that make the best use of renewable sources of energy while minimizing environmental impacts. Synthesizing engineering economics environment organization policy and technology in a detailed yet highly readable style Transport Revolutions is essential reading for anyone working studying or interested in transport and the environment. | Transport Revolutions Moving People and Freight Without Oil

Control Basics for Mechatronics

Control Basics for Mechatronics

Mechatronics is a mongrel a crossbreed of classic mechanical engineering the relatively young pup of computer science the energetic electrical engineering the pedigree mathematics and the bloodhound of Control Theory. All too many courses in control theory consist of a diet of ‘Everything you could ever need to know about the Laplace Transform’ rather than answering ‘What happens when your servomotor saturates?’ Topics in this book have been selected to answer the questions that the mechatronics student is most likely to raise. That does not mean that the mathematical aspects have been left out far from it. The diet here includes matrices transforms eigenvectors differential equations and even the dreaded z transform. But every effort has been made to relate them to practical experience to make them digestible. They are there for what they can do not to support pages of mathematical rigour that defines their origins. The theme running throughout the book is simulation with simple JavaScript applications that let you experience the dynamics for yourself. There are examples that involve balancing such as a bicycle following a line and a balancing trolley that is similar to a Segway. This can be constructed ‘for real’ with components purchased from the hobby market. | Control Basics for Mechatronics

Politics Public Policy and Social Protection in Africa Evidence from Cash Transfer Programmes

Politics Public Policy and Social Protection in Africa Evidence from Cash Transfer Programmes

Africa is now in a much-improved position to support its poor and vulnerable people. It has more money more policy commitment and abundant intervention programmes. Yet the number of citizens living lives of desperation or at risk of destitution is at an all-time high and still rising. What is turning such positive prospects into such a disappointing result? Politics Public Policy and Social Protection in Africa reveals key answers drawing on empirical studies of cash transfer programmes in Botswana Ghana Kenya Nigeria and Uganda. Social cash transfer might be the most effective safety net formula to emerge so far. The country chapters in this book explore why it works and how it might be harnessed for poverty alleviation. The studies uncover the very different motives of donors politicians and the poor themselves for making it their preferred choice; why governments are not expanding the donor-driven pilot programmes as expected and why ruling elites are not trying to help or hinder a concept which on the face of it could derail one of their most lucrative gravy trains. This book will be of value and interest to researchers and students of African politics African social policy and sociology as well as policy maker and donors. | Politics Public Policy and Social Protection in Africa Evidence from Cash Transfer Programmes
