    Book Description

    "This is a very hands-on book, rich with both information and examples . . . what makes the volume especially readable is the insertion of brief case studies into most chapters . . . a productive read for both students of community development and the general public."
    --Deborah Puntenney, AMERICAN PLANNING ASSOCIATION JOURNAL

    Can residents work together to improve the quality of life in their communities? There is continued skepticism about community-based efforts to overcome the problems of concentrated poverty and racial segregation in the inner city, underdevelopment in rural areas, and social isolation. Yet, there are numerous examples of residents helping their local communities provide affordable housing, job training, and financing for businesses.

    In Asset Building and Community Development Gary Paul Green and Anna Haines provide an engaging, thought-provoking, interdisciplinary overview of the community development field. They explore the history of the community development movement in the United States and in international settings. Using an asset-based approach that considers human, physical, social, financial, and environmental capital, the authors skillfully demonstrate how local organizations are better able to meet community needs than governmental programs or market strategies.

    Lively and informative, this well-crafted introduction to community development will appeal to students and to practitioners who want an understanding of the basic concepts and theories behind their activities.

      Book Description

      Introduced by the Search Institute in 1990, the framework of "developmental assets" is a set of social and psychological strengths that function to enhance health outcomes for children and adolescents. Since that time, research and application associated with the concept of developmental assets has been integrated with the fields of community change and community building: -to help understand the developmental experiences, resources, and opportunities that contributes to important health outcomes among young people; and -to energize and guide community-based approaches to strengthen the natural and inherent socialization capacity of communities in support of youth. Developmental Assets and Asset-Building Communities examines the relationships of developmental assets to other approaches and bodies of work. It raises challenges about the asset-building approach and offers recommendations for how this approach can be strengthened and broadened in impact and research. In doing so, this book extends the scholarly base for the understanding of the character and scope of the systemic relation between young people's healthy development and the nature of developmentally attentive communities. The chapters in this volume present evidence that asset-building communities both promote and are promoted by positive youth development, a bi-directional, systemic linkage that - consistent with developmental systems theory - further civil society by building relationship and intergenerational places within a community that are united in attending to the developmental needs of children and adolescents. This book is a valuable resource for developmental psychologists, child psychologists, school and community psychologists, practitioners, administrators and policy-makers.

        Product Description

        Today, more low-income Americans have greater access to credit than ever before, thanks in large part to the growth of global capital markets and liberal use of credit scores. But not all have benefited equally from the opened spigots. Some are overpaying for mortgage credit, others are getting in over their heads, and some have become the victims of predatory lenders. In this volume, noted analysts examine how low-income families can continue to participate in the American dream of homeownership, building up assets and equity along the way, and what businesses and government can do to ensure that low-income families succeed in homeownership.

            Book Description

            Abandoned properties are a plague across the United States, from rust belt cities like Detroit and Buffalo to small towns like Lima, Ohio, and Waterloo, Iowa. Even in Sunbelt cities such as Houston and Las Vegas, abandonment is a major problem, as investment flows to the periphery, leaving the older, inner neighborhoods behind. In Bringing Buildings Back, Alan Mallach provides policymakers and practitioners with the first in-depth guide to understanding and dealing with the many ramifications that this issue holds for the future of our older cities.

            Combining practical suggestions with a thoughtful exploration of policy, Mallach pulls together insights from law, economics, planning, and design to address all sides of the problem, from how abandonment can be prevented to how best to bring these properties back into productive reuse. Focusing on the need for sustainable reuse and revitalization of America's cities and neighborhoods, Bringing Buildings Back shows how finding solutions for individual buildings can and must be tied to the larger process of making our cities economically stronger and environmentally sounder places to live and work. The book is replete with examples of how cities, community development corporations, and others have come up with creative, effective solutions.

            Written by a distinguished urban planner and practitioner with three decades of experience, Bringing Buildings Back provides both a detailed toolkit and a call to rethink the way America carries out urban redevelopment. It is a book that should be on the desk of every mayor, city planner, community developer, or neighborhood activist, and used in every course on urban redevelopment or neighborhood revitalization.

              Can local community-based models of ownership work? As this path-breaking report demonstrates, in cities and towns across the United States, they already do. The past few decades have seen rapid expansion of new forms of local ownership to develop business, create jobs, foster local democratic practices, generate tax bases to support public services, and promote stability and community development. In combination with related wealth-building approaches employed by both foundations and governments, these efforts constitute part of an emerging paradigm of employing assets to address social and economic problems.

                              3 out of 5 stars Expensive for what you get.......1998-10-25

                              This volume contains 75 pages of crucial information about the big three. It also contains inane pictures of a "green-toed [sic] sloth," an amazon parrot, a hybiscus, bouganvillia,and a statue of some people somewhere. There are also several pages of detailed resort descriptions that lend the book a distastefully commercial air.

                              The information about bonefish, tarpon, and permit is of high quality, but it seems diluted by empty glitz and commercialism. Take that away, cut the price in half, and you have a good value.

                                    When Professor Frederic M. Wheelock's Latin first appeared in 1956, the reviews extolled its thoroughness, organization, and conciseness; at least on reviewer predicted that the book "might well become the standard text" for introducing students to elementary Latin. Now, more than four decades later, that prediction has certainly proved accurate.

                                    The sixth edition of Wheelock's Latin has all the features that have made it the bestselling single-volume beginning Latin textbook, many of them revised and expanded:

                                  • 40 chapters with grammatical explanations and readings based on ancient Roman authors
                                  • Self-tutorial exercises with an answer key for independent study
                                  • An extensive English-Latin/Latin-English vocabulary
                                  • A rich selection of original Latin readings--unlike other textbooks, which contain primarily made-up Latin texts
                                  • Etymological aids

                                    Also new to the sixth edition are maps of the Mediterranean, Italy, and the Aegean area, as well as numerous photographs illustrating aspoects of classical culture, mythology, and historical and literary figures presented in the chapter readings.

                                    4 out of 5 stars Great Text for a Beginner.......2007-08-08

                                    This is an excellent text for anyone wanted to learn Classical Latin. It's clearly written, with useful practice readings at the end of each chapter. In addition, it has a number of further reading in the Appendix. The one drawback is that there is no answer key in the text, and for the self-learner, you have to contact the publisher to send it to you. I suggest the workbook as well as a suppliment text.

                                    5 out of 5 stars Sorry, folks--Latin IS grammar, and if you don't want to learn it, you can't translate.......2006-02-06

                                    People who think it is possible to learn Latin the way one would learn a spoken language are going to be mightily disappointed with this book--but they also have no understanding of what Latin is. If you don't learn Latin grammar systamatically and technically, you will never, ever be able to read real Latin literature. It's not like a modern language, which you can learn to speak quite well without ever learning grammar--through conversation, immersion, guided reading, etc. Note that the person from Lancaster, CA who claims, frighteningly, to be a teacher of Latin, wrote a Latin headline for his review that translates to "Difficult Brother of Latin Wheelock made." This gentleman does not like Wheelock because he thinks the book "makes" Latin grammar complicated--but this gentleman does not know how to write the simplest Latin sentence! Latin grammar IS complicated, and unless you memorize charts and rules, you will not know Latin and you will mistranslate every time. Wheelock teaches through simple sentences in the beginning when the student knows only a few forms, and very complex sentences (and actual Latin literature) by the end. There is no reason on earth to study Latin if you don't want to learn morphology and syntax--you'll waste your time and still not be able to read a single Latin text in its original form. Maybe not "fun" for many people, but indispensable. Otherwise, just skip learning the language and try this: get a copy of a Latin text you want to read--say the Aeneid; a Latin dictionary--say the Cassel's; and an English translation--say the Penguin edition; and read all three at once and cobble it together that way. This would be a perfectly valid way to get closer to an original text, but it ain't learning Latin. Note also that "Paula" who thinks Wheelock is "snotty" is a survivalist who wants to learn German so she can read Hitler. Read her other reviews!

                                    5 out of 5 stars Optime!.......2006-01-08

                                    Years go by, tons of new books are published, yet the cliche is usually true: always go with a classic!

                                    Before buying this, keep one thing in mind: Professor Wheelock doesn't sugarcoat things. Apart from a brief introduction to ancient Rome and the evolution of the Latin language, which I found very engaging, he wastes no time and dives right into the grammar. Some people find he goes by too fast, but I disagree. I've looked at several Latin programs (including Rosetta Stone and Teach Yourself Latin Complete Course), but none of them teaches you Latin nearly as well as Wheelock does.

                                    The problem most people have is that in our modern society, grammar is no longer taught as intensively as in the past. Even those who speak almost perfect English often times don't know the grammatical rule for why a sentence is correct. This is what Wheelock wants you to be able to do in his course. If he gives you a Latin sentence, he wants you to be able to distuingish why he used the Accusative and not the Nominative case, and so on. And rightly so. How can you learn a language without knowing the reason behind the declensions and conjugations you make? If your command of English grammar is so poor, then you probably have more serious issues than trying to learn Latin!

                                    To those who have purchased the book and are having trouble with the course, here's a few suggestions. First, make sure you go through the book SLOWLY. There is no reason to rush through it. Wheelock himself suggests this as well. Learn the rules, learn how to use them correctly, and only then should you move on to the next lesson. I've spent close to 2 weeks studying some of the chapters, and there's no shame in it. Remember, repetitio est mater memoriae!

                                    Second, I STRONGLY urge you to buy Professor Dale A. Grote's "Comprehensive Guide to Wheelock's Latin". He goes through every chapter and irons out many of the kinks found in Wheelock's book. There are times when Wheelock doesn't explain something fully; when you read Grote's explanation, more often than not you'll say "Ohhhh, now I get it!"

                                    I don't agree that you have to be a genius to be successful in this course. Though I consider myself an intelligent person, I'm by no means genetically predisposed to learning languages. Just like so many others who have learned Latin with Wheelock's course over the past few decades, I had to put in a lot of hard work and dedication, along with plenty of memorizing. There's simply no substitute for hard work. I wish you all good luck!

                                    2 out of 5 stars wheelock is NOT for those new to latin/learning a language!!.......2005-09-18

                                    What a headache of a book! Please note that unless you have studied many years of a foreign language, are already familiar with Latin, or are a grammar genius, this book is probably not for you. The text really throws you right into complicated sentence structure and conjugations without practice and I've read advice from several sources that say Wheelock is generally made for graduate students with strong foreign language back grounds. I personally switched to the Cambridge approach which I'm enjoying much more, but if you have to use this book and have any doubts--get the sudy guide!! If you are not worried about any of the above, than you may at least find some of the text of the book interesting. It's a decent approach, just not for beginners.

                                    5 out of 5 stars Great Service!.......2005-08-29

                                    Hi! The book (Wheelock's 6th ed.) is in very good shape and the delivery time could not have been better! I recommend the seller since I have ordered other books that were supposed to be in great condition or brand new and were not, but this seller lives up to her words and also the delivery and sale. Hope to buy some more of her merchandise again soon! :)

                                    I am just starting to study Latin courses in my university program, and this book helped soooooo much more than the actual textbook that was required for my course! Wheelock explains things simply and easily so that you can grasp the key concepts that you need to understand and be able to write and read latin properly. This book was extremely helpful in the first few weeks of my learning and hope that someone else can benefit from it also!!!!

                                    Dr. James Thogtam: A classic book for those in the field

                                    WITH THE SEVENTH EDITION OF BRAUNwald's Heart Disease, the editors have accomplished an impressive feat: improving on an already classic text. With 36 new chapters and full-color figures and photographs, the new edition is substantially altered in both content and appearance. Compared with the rather limited color-plate photographs in the sixth edition, the color photographs, figures, and tables in each chapter significantly enhance the new text.

                                    Informative chapters on the foundations of cardiovascular medicine remain, including detailed discussions of history taking, physical examination, and electrocardiography, topics often overshadowed in an era of rapidly progressive medical technology.....

                                    The seventh edition of Braunwald's Heart Disease would be a worthy addition to the medical library of any practicing cardiologist, cardiology fellow, or health care practitioner with a special interest in heart disease.

                                    5 out of 5 stars A HARD-TO-FLAW MASTERPIECE.......2002-06-18

                                    Anyone familiar with Dr. Braunwald's superb cardiovascular exploits in the "Harrison's Principles of Internal Medicine" would not be surprised by the richness of this book.
                                    The diligently crafted chapters are comprehensive, authoritative, well-illustrated, and include all the 'ins' and 'outs' of contemporary cardiology. It is one of the most consistent and coherent multi-authored texts in the field.
                                    This single-volume CD-ROM package is a rich blend of evidence based medicine, best practice, and all the user-flexibility an e-book enthusiast would expect.
