Domestic Violence Advocacy SAGE Publications Inc

Książki / Literatura obcojęzyczna

This book introduced a new model of woman defined advocacy that was designed to bridge the gap that sometimes occurs between a battered woman's perspective and a victim's advocate's perception. Created to improve service delivery to women who are victims of domestic violence, this model emphasized placing attention on the victim's assessment of the risk in the violent relationship and on her decision making. The authors aim to help advocates better understand battered women's decisions, including the decision to stay in an abusive relationship, to improve advocacy for victims with various cultural experiences and backgrounds, and to provide advocates with assistance in redesigning their services so they may better meet the needs of battered women. The second edition will be updated to include current research, greater emphasis on working with marginalized populations, an expanded advocacy framework, more emphasis on client strengths and strengths based perspective, and more pedagogical elements will be introduced.

Handbook of Road Ecology John Wiley & Sons Inc

Książki / Literatura obcojęzyczna

The scope of this book is wide enough to be relevant for allpeople involved in the planning, design, construction ormaintenance of roads to mitigate their ecological effects. The information is concise and easy to access, avoids scientificjargon and provides examples of best practice. The topicsrange from national and international planning schemes,Environmental Impact Assessments, the design, construction andmaintenance of mitigation measures and assessing their use andeffectiveness. The book is illustrated with excellent arrayof photos, figures and tables, and numerous case-studies andtext-boxes that demonstrate the widespread applicability ofmitigation practices.§§There are two types of books or publications related to roadecology. The first are typically in-depth ecological booksthat are targeted towards academics and ecologists. Thesecond type is 'best-practice' manuals that givedetailed information on the dimensions of mitigation structures,construction techniques etc. This book will bridge the twoand provide some best practice detail but also focus on providingnecessary ecological background.§§To assist road planners, ecologists, engineers, construction andmanagement personnel with an easy to access and concise resourcethat provides current information to identify, manage and mitigatethe negative ecological effects of roads and traffic. Thisbook will detail current standards from around the world using acombination of clear ecological principles and relevant, practicalcase studies.§§This book is NOT a random collection of scientific paperswritten by academics who attended a conference.
