Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: How globalization is undermining sustainable social environments for children This book uses the ecological model of child development together with ethnographic and comparative studies of two small villages, in Italy and the United States, as its framework for examining the well-being of children in the aftermath of the Great Recession. Global forces, far from being distant and abstract, are revealed as wreaking havoc in children’s environments even in economically advanced countries. Falling birth rates, deteriorating labor conditions, fraying safety nets, rising rates of child poverty, and a surge in racism and populism in Europe and the United States are explored in the petri dish of the village. Globalism’s discontents—unrestrained capitalism and technological change, rising inequality, mass migration, and the juggernaut of climate change—are rapidly destabilizing and degrading the social and physical environments necessary to our collective survival and well-being. This crisis demands a radical restructuring of our macrosystemic value systems. Woodhouse proposes an ecogenerist theory that asks whether our policies and politics foster environments in which children and families can flourish. It proposes, as a benchmark, the family-supportive human-rights principles of the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child. The book closes by highlighting ways in which individuals can engage at the local and regional levels in creating more just and sustainable worlds that are truly fit for children.

Book excerpt: ONCE A MODEL CHILD. NOW A MONSTER. Yvonne Landis wakes up in a hospital bed and learns she has become a widow. She and her husband were out on date night when the fatal car accident happened. The airbag that saved her life malfunctioned on his side of the car. Then, as she crawled to safety, the car blew up. As if it’s not enough to lose her beloved husband, Yvonne soon has reason to suspect that her son Joseph staged the accident, as well as deactivated the airbag earlier in the day. Joseph, once a model child, has recently displayed significant antisocial tendencies by joining a domestic terrorist cell. He may be back home now, but he’s still mad with his parents for ignoring him for years. Just how mad is he? If you love dark suspenseful crime thrillers with murder and mayhem, vigilante heroes with complex characters and strong women, check out my Cuckoo Series and Club Nirvana series. In them, mother and son have a singular mission in life - to root out child trafficking once and for all. Part of the Mother and Son Vigilantes bundle.

Download or read book Wild Child to Couture Style written by Shailah Edmonds and published by Lyons Publishing. This book was released on 2018-05-18 with total page 242 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Wild Child to Couture Style is based on the true story of former International supermodel, Shailah Edmonds, who was one of the pioneers of African American models that conquered the Couture market, (which is the most rarefied realm of the modeling profession) in Paris, from the late 1970's to the early 1990's. This manuscript chronicles the authors' journey from growing up in Portland, Oregon, to becoming a high fashion model, who has walked the runways of Paris, London, Rome, Japan and other International locales, where she was in demand. Ms. Edmonds writes about a young love that led to her to becoming a teenage mother. Putting her dreams of being an actress on the back burner to mother her child, Shailah's life changed when she met Ruth Turner, while walking in Washington, D.C. Ruth introduced her to New York City. The book chronicles Shailah's experiences traveling around the world in a dream profession. Although Shailah feels as if she is a hidden figure in the mainstream names of fashion, she was among one of the most photographed runway models of that era, because of the energy, style and flair she brought to the runway. Pictorially, the story is told very well with photos of her ancestors who were born into slavery, her progress as she began to be groomed, as well as an abundance of strikingly beautiful couture color photographs. With the popularity of stories of historic black women, this book could easily be a best seller. with elements of courage, drama, comedy, romance and endurance by a single African American female. It is a true story of faith, love and persistence, which would serve as inspiration and example to all young women daring to reach out for a better life.This book would be of interest because not only is it beneficial as a guide to success, but also an inspiration to all, especially aspiring models who are hungry for guidance an from industry professional.This work will appeal to readers who enjoy inspirational memoirs.

Download or read book The Architecture of the Child Mind written by Marc H. Bornstein and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2019-02-21 with total page 228 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What exactly does it mean to be intelligent? Does intelligence manifest itself in one way or in different ways in children? Do children fit any preconceived notions of intelligence? Some theories assert a general (g) factor for intelligence that is universal and enters all mental abilities; other theories state that there are many separate domains or faculties (Fs) of intelligence; and still others argue that the g and Fs of intelligence coexist in a hierarchical relation. The Architecture of the Child Mind: g, Fs, and the Hierarchical Model of Intelligence argues for the third option in young children. Through state-of-the-art methodologies in an intensive research program conducted with 4-year-old children, Bornstein and Putnick show that the structure of intelligence in the preschool child is best construed as a hierarchically organized combination of a General Intelligence factor (g) and multiple domain-specific faculties (Fs). The Architecture of the Child Mind offers a review of the history of intelligence theories and testing, and a comprehensive and original research effort on the nature and structure of intelligence in young children before they enter school. Its focus on intelligence will appeal to cognitive, developmental, and social psychologists as well as researchers and scholars in education, particularly those specializing in early childhood education.
