Ten Years After Helsinki The Making Of The European Security Regime

Ten Years After Helsinki The Making Of The European Security Regime

Divided between two military alliances Europe has maintained stability based on political status quo and military power balance. However European states—including neutral and nonaligned countries—have felt a need for a common policy to guarantee their security and the Conference on Security and Cooperation in Europe (CSCE) was convened to address this concern. Ten years later the authors of this study find that the outlines of a European security regime are indeed discernible. The conference in Helsinki initiated efforts for negotiated and controlled change in Europe. Contributors to this volume analyze the achievements of CSCE consider more recent models of collective or common security systems and deal with political and military processes at work in Europe as well as relationships with great powers and the Third World. The role of Western Europe and particularly Finland's role as an initiator of the CSCE process receives special attention. Documentation of the tenth anniversary meeting and the CSCE process in general are also included. | Ten Years After Helsinki The Making Of The European Security Regime

Self-Direction in Long Term Services and Supports The Cash and Counseling Demonstration and Evaluation Ten Years On

Self-Direction in Long Term Services and Supports The Cash and Counseling Demonstration and Evaluation Ten Years On

Ten years after the results of the Cash and Counseling Demonstration and Evaluation were released this book assesses the impact of this study which developed individualized plans for helping people with disabilities to stay independent in the community. The study was the first wide-scale test of people with disabilities managing their own budgets and results from the random-controlled trial demonstrated significant positive outcomes encouraging the US federal and state governments to provide this option as part of their community-based care programs. This volume looks at what people with disabilities and their caregivers are saying about this option ten years removed from the study and what the latest research shows in terms of what it will take to improve this approach making the option available for all people with disabilities. The contributions also discuss what needs remain unmet even when people can manage their own budgets and present participants’ and their family caregivers’ views on what support broker activities really help (or hurt). Finally the book summarizes the results of a project involving the Council of Social Work Education and nine schools of social work to develop modules to train future social workers on person-centred planning and participant direction. Of interest to those researchers studying social care with a focus on disabilities this book would also be of use to those training social workers and support staff. The chapters in this book were originally published in the Journal of Gerontological Social Work and Home Health Care Services Quarterly. | Self-Direction in Long Term Services and Supports The Cash and Counseling Demonstration and Evaluation Ten Years On

The Enigma of Childhood The Profound Impact of the First Years of Life on Adults as Couples and Parents

The Enigma of Childhood The Profound Impact of the First Years of Life on Adults as Couples and Parents

In this book the author traces the way that early psychic development from birth up to three years is reflected throughout our lifespan including adulthood couplehood and parenthood. The inner child reverberating within us (consciously and unconsciously) and thus present in our ongoing interactions with others often colours and guides our current experiences whether with our life partner or children and as psychotherapists with our patients. Our openness to its resonance allows us to become more attuned to and emotionally accessible to ourselves and others. The author's primary aim is to familiarize the reader with her innovative idea of the emotional immune system managed by a healthy narcissism and operating via the inner reverberations of hidden childhood narratives. Our sense of familiar self is accordingly consolidated and immunised to an invasion by foreign sensations. | The Enigma of Childhood The Profound Impact of the First Years of Life on Adults as Couples and Parents

Mollusks and Marine Environments of the Ten Thousand Islands

Mollusks and Marine Environments of the Ten Thousand Islands

Mollusks and Marine Environments of the Ten Thousand Islands provides the first comprehensive overview of the shells and habitats that are present in the last unexplored coastal area of southwestern Florida. The mysterious and primordial Ten Thousand Islands where the rivers and marshlands of the Everglades empty into the Gulf of Mexico house a number of remarkable marine ecosystems many shown here in detail for the first time. Primary among these are unique worm shell “reef systems ” composed entirely of immense masses of vermetid gastropod mollusks. These previously unexplored and unstudied gastropod reefs which are often many acres in size are shown here to mimic coral reefs in their growth structure and represent the only large-scale molluscan reefs found anywhere on Earth. Living in association with the zonated gastropod reefs are a number of rare and unusual mollusks some of which represent endemic species that are unique to the Ten Thousand Islands. These and many other southwestern Florida shells are illustrated throughout this book along with detailed illustrations and descriptions of the marine and estuarine environments that dominate the archipelago and its adjacent lagoon systems.

The Astronomy Revolution 400 Years of Exploring the Cosmos

The Astronomy Revolution 400 Years of Exploring the Cosmos

Some 400 years after the first known patent application for a telescope by Hans Lipperhey The Astronomy Revolution: 400 Years of Exploring the Cosmos surveys the effects of this instrument and explores the questions that have arisen out of scientific research in astronomy and cosmology. Inspired by the international New Vision 400 conference held in Beijing in October 2008 this interdisciplinary volume brings together expanded and updated contributions from 26 esteemed conference speakers and invited others. Looking beyond questions of science to the role of moral responsibility in human civilizations the book offers the unique vantage points of contributions from both Eastern and Western cultures. Extensively illustrated in full color this book consists of six parts. Aimed at young scientists the first part presents perspectives on creativity and technology in scientific discovery. In the second part contributors examine how the telescope has impacted our knowledge of the Universe—from the formation of galaxies to the death of stars. The third part of the book outlines some of the challenges we face in understanding dark matter dark energy black holes and cosmic rays and the fourth part discusses new technologies that will be useful in attacking new and unresolved questions. The fifth part of the book examines the intellectual impact that the telescope has had on society in China and in the West. The book concludes with an investigation of big questions: What is the origin of the laws of physics as we know them? Are these laws the same everywhere? How do these scientific laws relate to the moral laws of society? Does what we know depend on cultural ways of asking the questions? Is there life elsewhere? And what about the questions that science cannot answer? Celebrating the historical significance of the telescope this unique book seeks to inspire all those involved or interested i | The Astronomy Revolution 400 Years of Exploring the Cosmos

An Analysis of David Graeber's Debt The First 5 000 Years

An Analysis of David Graeber's Debt The First 5 000 Years

Debt is one of the great subjects of our day and understanding the way that it not only fuels economic growth but can also be used as a means of generating profit and exerting control is central to grasping the way in which our society really works. David Graeber's contribution to this debate is to apply his anthropologists' training to the understanding of a phenomenon often considered purely from an economic point of view. In this respect the book can be considered a fine example of the critical thinking skill of problem-solving. Graeber's main aim is to undermine the dominant narrative which sees debt as the natural – and broadly healthy – outcome of the development of a modern economic system. He marshals evidence that supports alternative possibilities and suggests that the phenomenon of debt emerged not as a result of the introduction of money but at precisely the same time. This in turn allows Graeber to argue against the prevailing notion that economy and state are fundamentally separate entities. Rather he says the two were born together and have always been intertwined – with debt being a means of enforcing elite and state power. For Graeber this evaluation of the evidence points to a strong potential solution: there should be more readiness to write off debt and more public involvement in the debate over debt and its moral implications. | An Analysis of David Graeber's Debt The First 5 000 Years
