Soft cover. Condición: As New. Number line 8 7 6 5, only; the fifth printing. Government uses the threat of force to herd the nation's children -- all but the children of the rich, who know better -- into its mandatory youth propaganda camps, taking away the authority of parents to manage education in their own homes and neighborhoods, and -- surprise! -- finds these little lockups turning into "war zones" (as Marian Wright Edelman admits in her Foreword, here.) But it turns out there's a solution: Multicultural collectivism! "Cooperation is a prerequisite for many . . . school tasks, and teachers often assign collaborative projects in the hope that young people will work together, only to become frustrated when the projects fail because the children argue, interrupt one another, and don't work as teams," the authors sigh. "It's important to remember that children aren't born cooperative and certainly haven't been encouraged to be so in this society." Not like in, say, really cool, collectivist societies, like Communist China and North Korea. "In our curriculum, children are taught that cooperation is about working together toward a common goal, and that it has many advantages over competition because it allows people to help one another." Ah. But they still insist the government schools aren't discouraging excellence, trying to substitute the collectivism of the herd for the competition, free enterprise, and recognition of individual achievement that made America great. No! They're just teaching reading, writing, and arithmetic! Honest! "Although peer mediation can become an integral part of any conflict resolution effort at a school, it is not a panacea for ridding a school of all violence. In fact, schools without a solid curriculum component in conflict resolution often lack a firm foundation to support peer mediation," warn the authors, who hail from (hang onto your seats!) Boston and New York. But the reason our kids -- incarcerated in camps where "teachers' pets" who strive to get good grades are regularly beaten up in the locker rooms -- can't spell, can't file in alphabetical order, can't count change, and don't know any history or basic economics isn't because their days are larded up with a bunch of trendy, non-academic, social-engineering "curricula" designed to re-make our society into a lowing collectivist bovine herd, where the individual initiative that made America great is discouraged. No! The government schools are just teaching reading, writing, and arithmetic! Honest! "Extensive advertising by gun manufacturers and the gun lobby has convinced many American that owning a gun increases their chances of protecting themselves and their children. Unfortunately this is far from true," the authors simper, ignoring what happened to Germany's disarmed Jews -- as well as the millions of times armed Americans dispatch home invaders, and the fact that armed American farmers won the battles of Trenton, Princeton, and Saratoga. "We as adults can decrease the chances of an accident by keeping firearms unloaded and locked away from children's reach, with bullets stored and locked in a separate place." Where they'll do a fat lot of good during a home invasion. But the coercion-based collectivist government youth camps aren't trying to propagandize children to become good little stool pigeons, helping create a disarmed peasant class, the more easily squeezed of our life-blood for the benefit of their burgeoning corporate/collectivist police state. No! They're just teaching reading, writing, and arithmetic! Honest! This pile of unread, as-new, collectivist drivel, which gets its absurd, long-disproved "guns aren't useful in self-defense" "statistics" from the infamous rape-enabling Children's Defense Fund, is inscribed "Thank you for waging peace where you are," and signed "Linda Lantieri" to the half-title page. 268 pp., here reduced considerably from $27. Will no one buy this steaming pile of rape-enabling, collectivist crap? It's SIGNED. Inscribed by Author(s).…

Taschenbuch. Condición: Neu. Druck auf Anfrage Neuware - Printed after ordering - This compact book examines age friendliness within the framework of age-friendly ecosystems, and from a place-based approach, considering anchor institutions of neighborhoods, campuses and health environments as sites uniquely positioned to catalyze age equity and inclusivity.Age friendliness has grown from an idea into a social movement that recognizes the diversity of older adults, and integrates research, policy, programming and design practices. Compounding pressures of rapid aging, systemic ageism, and a growing disparity of resources compel us to rethink how we achieve equity in aging through the design of places and practices.Content for this book draws from a 2022 symposium, Age Friendly Communities as Platforms for Equity, Health & Wellness. Contributors build upon the content shared through the symposium in order to examine how neighborhoods, campuses and health environments are uniquely poised to support equity and to extend reach to historically marginalized populations of older adults. Ideas and experiences from national experts in aging, as well as 'real world' experiences and narratives shared by older adults, students, community stakeholders and faculty researchers, are presented through a place-based approach. Collectively the voices in this book create a lens for empowering age-friendly ecosystems as environments for equitable aging by design. Among the topics covered:Creating an Age-Friendly Environment Across the EcosystemAge Friendliness as a Framework for Equity in AgingAge-Friendly Voices in the Pursuit of an Age-Friendly EcosystemAge-Friendly Futures: Equity by DesignAge-Friendly Ecosystems: Environments for Equitable Aging by Design is written for people who are interested in understanding how the age-friendly movement is transforming places we live - community planners, designers, policy makers, aging service providers, academics and citizen activists. This compact volume presents a case of need for age friendliness in places we live, learn and care for our health. Readers with interests in the professional practice areas of aging studies/gerontology, architecture and planning, colleges and universities, community/neighborhood development, health systems, research, and policy will benefit from this brief that examines neighborhoods, campuses, and health environments from interdisciplinary perspectives.…

Hardback. Condición: New. Women's entrepreneurship is vital for economic and social development, yet female entrepreneurs worldwide are consistently found to have weaker sales and employment growth, fewer jobs, and lower profitability. This book was written to address this reality and focuses on the high-growth potential of women entrepreneurs. The scholars in this book conducted qualitative as well as quantitative research in contexts around the world, including Eswatini (Swaziland), Australia, China, Slovenia, Peru, and one global study of 43 countries. Chapters are organized according to three key themes: the practice of building networks, programs and the support environment, and policies and regulations. Topics addressed within these themes include the interconnected and mutually reinforcing features of a fruitful entrepreneurial culture, including financial and human capital advancement and readiness, new opportunities for expansion and an assortment of institutional and infrastructural provisions for innovation and business growth. High-growth Women's Entrepreneurship will appeal to public and private sector managers, policy makers and politicians who want to promote a culture and ecosystem that supports women's growth-oriented business potential.
