List Of Statutory Publications: Incorporating The Lists Of Statutory Instruments, Scottish Statutory Instruments And Statutory Rules Of Northern Ireland, 2002

Book Description

'I know there is something wrong, but what?'
'How do I know if outside help for this child is needed?'
'How do I tell parents that their child could have a learning difficulty?'
These are questions that most nursery workers, at some point in their careers, will have to face. Based on the lives of real children and typical situations in early years settings, early years practitioners will find this book invaluable in helping them care for and educate young children with additional learning difficulties.
Key difficulties such as Attention Deficit Disorder, dyspraxia, dyslexia and autism are explained in some depth, with detailed suggestions for practical strategies to help support children with these special needs. Chapters in this book:
· Explore the process of early identification;
· Show how to make inclusion a reality in the nursery;
· Tackle the complex issue of dealing with parents;
· Discuss techniques for skilled and informed observation and assessment.
Each chapter has an explanation section supported by a set of practical strategies to support both the child and the practitioner. Throughout this accessible and lively book, the author highlights the importance of listening to young children, using case-studies to illustrate this, and shows how making time for listening is key to providing exactly the right level of help

Reviews of the first edition:

'This is one of the best books I have read on special needs and the very young, and I thoroughly recommend it to all with a professional or personal interest in this area.'
Special Children

'This is an exemplary introductory textbook for students and a veritable mine of information. Undoubtedly, this is a special needs and early years book that many readers can, and will, relate to.'
Sheila Wolfendale
European Journal of Special Needs Education

'This well crafted "practitioner's guide" thoughfully addresses the many issues that practitioners face when they consider their involvement in early education in the context of work with special educational needs. Those who read this book will find that they know a little more about these important issues, and may find themselves challenged to reflect on their personal attitudes towards inclusive education, ideally becoming better providers for children with learning difficulties.'
Cathy Nutbrown
Journal of Early Childhood Research

Following on from the highly successful first edition, Kate Wall has updated the content for this second edition. She has:

Revamped the content so that it covers the full range of new SEN and early years initiatives and legislation
Provided practitioners, students and parents with current examples of good practice
Updated information on interagency issues and working with parents

This book is essential reading for early years' practitioners, professionals dealing with children with special needs and their families, and students in the fields of early years and special needs.

Following the very successful first edition is an updated second edition of Special Needs and Early Years: A Practitioner's Guide - a reference which offers the latest early years initiatives and legislation along with leading examples of good practice and handling parents of children with special needs. This isn't a parent's pick so much as a set of guidelines and recommendations for professionals working with such children and their families - and students at the college level.

Book Description

Research in early years and special needs shows that early and appropriate intervention is required, but not all early years practitioners will necessarily have the experience, knowledge, and skills to ensure these expectations are transformed into high quality special needs provision.

Kate Wall believes that all children should be entitled to achieve their full potential, and that all practitioners should have the necessary skills to support children and their families. Her varied and extensive work as an early years practitioner in mainstream and special early years settings has helped her to identify the key issues for practitioners and parents including:

Working with families
Partnerships with parents
Observation and assessment
Programs of intervention
Responding to the affective needs of children
Issues of inclusion for children with special needs

Having spent many years supporting families of children with special needs, she now shares her expertise in an accessible book based on her own research and practice. The book offers theoretical knowledge, case study discussions, and practical suggestions for working practice and in-service training.

Book Description

This book provides reader-friendly, easy-to-access information about the Special Educational Needs Code of Practice and what it means for the Early Years practitioner. It prunes away the jargon and 'legal-speak' of the DfEE documents, allowing the busy teacher to easily focus on the aspects they want to explore. It also contains practical suggestions and advice regarding the day-to-day classroom management of a special needs child and details on how to actually implement the requirements of the Code of Practice.

Teachers working in the Early Years and all those working in private nurseries and non-maintained Early Years settings should find this book enormously helpful.

The best briefs on strategic planning

Three Volume Series

Plan your work and work your plan.
In these three brief, very usable volumes, George L. Morrisey--long recognized as a master in the field--offers his insights on the process of strategic thinking, and tactical and strategic planning. Each volume is valuable on its own; together, they represent an unprecedented resource no informed manager should be without. Drawing on examples from individual departments and work units as well as from the perspective of the total organization, Morrisey's series provides practical advice for all types of planning at any level of an organization.

This book is heavy on content. Mr. Morrisey has done all the culling for us. It's pricy, but worth the price if your time is valuable.

it added nothing to what any one knows about Strategic Thinking. all the usuall stuff: think in the futer, plan ahead,...I didn't like it

A roadmap to effective implementation........1998-04-15

The ability to develop and build long-range strategic plans is as much art as science. But once you have your plan defined, the real trick is making it happen. Effective implementation of a plan is one of the toughest skills to master. Add in the need to both control and respond to uncertainty, and as the proverbial statement goes, "when you're up to your knees fighting alligators, it's easy to forget that you're goal was to drain the swamp". Well, Morrisey on Planning, Tactical Planning Guide provides an excellent framework that enables you to keep sight of the goal at all times. The charts and checklists serve as excellent examples, easy to modify to suit your business. Although the early chapters exhibit a stilted and somewhat simplistic writing style (call and response: for example, Who does the Planning? You, that's who!) the author has obviously thought out his presentation carefully, and does not bombard you with unnecessary comments, etc. If you really need to get that swamp drained, then this is the book for you!

A great manual for strategic planning from vision to action.......1997-11-02

It is a great task by itself to condense a subject as difficult as strategic planning into a book as thin and lean as George Morris' (100 pages). Yet, Morris Book is easily readable, and a clean, very systematic approach: I recommend it highly over any other Book on the market. It gives a real cooking-recipe with great checklists to put it into action. Style: Just do it. And the best of all: It is easily readable by non-MBA's (I have a Software engineer backround). I would recommend to get all 3 books in the series: A guide to tactical planning. The best thing I've come accross for a long time.

Book Description

Polarization in Western democracies and the collapse of centrally planned economies have led to calls for a redefinition of the state's core functions. This collection explores shifting conceptions of constitutional political economy anchoring the state from the viewpoints of theory, systems, and applications, with a view toward identifying why changes may be desirable and how these might be implemented. Nobel Laureate James M. Buchanan offers a foreword to the work and coauthors a chapter on theory of constitutional rules.

Sensible Structures and Structural Sense.......2001-06-01

Never in human history have the nations of the world been closer to each other in terms of access and the transmission of ideas and culture. In spite of this, they are characterized by huge disparities in terms of the level of well-being they are able to generate for their constituents. Yet there is not mucb difference in their formal systems of rules and laws. Thus, while there seems to be considerable commonality in the values and aspirations of most human societies, they vary dramatically in terms of their ability to achieve them. Why? At the most basic level, this is the question that the scholars drawn together in this volume seek to address.

The diversity of contributors seem to reach two over-arching conclusions. First, it is not rules per se, but rather the institutional environment that determines whether or not rules will be effective in regulating human behavior. Second, institutions that underpin smoothly functioning, highly prosperous societies are invariably based on providing strong incentives to individuals. Harnessing individuals' talents and abilities for the good of the many requires rewarding individual enterprise and limiting the role of the state to guaranteeing the safety of both life and private property.

While these may seem obvious truths, they have implications for virtually all policy issues, ranging from re-distribution (you must create wealth before you can distribute it), through environmental protection (nothing protects the environment like giving individuals property rights over it) to good government (if government favors can create wealth, resources will be wasted in currying such favors). 'Liberal' academics, whose prescriptions invariably call for government intervention in the economy seem particularly blind to these truths.

Constitutions matter!.......2001-05-11

This book really got me thinking about the importance of the constitutional underpinnings to our societies. The editors have really gathered together the leading thinkers in the field ranging from Nobel Laureate James Buchanan through scholars like Dennis Mueller and Bruno Frey to Michael Munger.

As Mueller points out, all constitutions contain fine language - even the Soviet constitution sounded quite admirable - but it is the underlying institutions that determine whether they will matter and be a force for good, or merely serve a decorative function. Munger suggests that passing such virtuous institutions from generation to generation are the key to healthy and prosperous societies. This is where ideology can play a role.

Ultimately, societies must harness the spirit of the individual if they are to succeed in the long run. Rowley points out that the role of the state in guaranteeing individual property rights, as recommended by John Locke, will go a long way towards achieving such individual commitment. On the other hand, excessive state intervention as recommended by Thomas Hobbes, will lead to the stifling of individualism and with it the withering of incentives, creativity, prosperity and human well-being.

Book Description

How does advertising work? Research findings on the effects of advertising are assembled and critically reviewed in this clearly written book, which is designed for both advanced students and practitioners.
Robert East presents evidence on successful advertising campaigns where the brand benefits from more sales and higher prices, and he describes how good advertising can sometimes reduce the cost of doing business. The question of repeated exposure is examined: do sales initially gather pace with additional ad exposures, or do the gains get less and less after the first exposure? New evidence on this issue is assessed.
The focus then moves to a model of ad response that covers the evidence on repeated ad exposure and explains how advertising may work over both short-term and long-term periods. The processes that could produce the long-term effect are discussed and new evidence is presented on the function of word of mouth. There is a chapter on the psychological processes that are used to explain ad effect and brief sections on the point of purchase and online advertising.
Throughout the book, attention is given to the implications of research findings for those who spend advertising money. Discussion includes the importance of long-term effects, the customer segments that respond most to advertising and the role of advertising compared to direct marketing.

Review of The Effect of Advertising and Display.......2004-01-27

Readers familiar with Robert East's work will recognise the thoughtful yet critical approach he has taken in his latest book. As always, East's review of advertising is wide ranging and, unlike many authors, he does not pursue a narrow agenda, but presents and evaluates a range of views and the empirical evidence associated with each of these. Another key characteristic of East's work is his ability to make difficult concepts accessible to others. For these reasons alone, this text is a valuable addition to the range of study material that can be set for advanced papers in advertising and marketing communications.

Comprising six main chapters, East includes a detailed analysis of media planning and the effect of advertising exposure on consumers. I found this one of the most valuable aspects of his text as it included a review of Jones' STAS model and incorporated details of recent UK work, neither of which tend to feature in other advertising texts.

East's review of wearout also added a valuable dimension to the text as, again, this complex topic tends to be glossed over in other texts (unless these are specifically devoted to media planning). East also presents a thorough review of competing ideas and assists readers to understand the strengths and weaknesses of different approaches. His analysis of empirical data relating to wearout is particularly helpful.

Chapter 4 examines how individuals process advertising and thoughtfully reviews different models of advertising. I would have relocated this chapter closer to the beginning of the text as knowledge of the theories discussed is useful in interpreting the different approaches to media planning that were canvassed in earlier chapters. However, East's provides an excellent overview of complex theories and the chapter integrates material from a variety of sources clearly and succinctly.

Chapter 5 examines point of sale activity and it was pleasing to see a detailed discussion of this increasingly important topic. East links this chapter very clearly to the material in chapter 4 and offers a much deeper analysis of point of sales promotions than is typically found in advertising texts.

Overall, this text fills an important gap in the advertising text market. Although academics have numerous texts from which to choose, many take an almost entirely descriptive approach. By contrast, East's text is one of the few to offer a critical review of the conflicting ideas and theories that abound in advertising. Academics who wish to challenge their students by exposing them to a wide range of views will find this text invaluable.

A useful, but flawed book........2002-02-27

The title of this mathematics textbook indicates its intended audience: "Management, Life and Social Sciences". If this is indeed its goal, then the book suffers from a serious flaw, namely, the authors have forgotten that individuals studying "Management, Life and Social Sciences" come from a wide variety of backgrounds -- backgrounds which may or may not have included solid grounding in principles of higher mathematics. Persons, like myself, who come into graduate level business studies from another discipline, have not had the benefit of the mathematics foundations which, say, an engineering student might have had.

As such, the text needed "more words between the equations"! More explanation of the examples would have been extraordinarily helpful. Furthermore, while the book is supposedly keyed to the TI-83 graphing calculator, in order to actually exploit this resource, an additional volume (currently unavailable) is necessary. This is, in the eyes of this student...extremely unhelpful.

A previous reviewer noted the use of relevant word problems -- and I agree that this has been useful. What would have been more useful, however, would have been more actual instruction.

Great real-life approach to calculus.......1999-08-20

This is probably the best basic calculus book I've ever used in a class. Unlike some books, this one gives real-life examples of how calculus is used to give you a better understanding of why you are studying it and what you can potentially do with it. It is definitely intended for a business major and geared in that direction. Great book!

Both reference and text book.......2003-08-01

The book Architectural Issues of Web-Enabled Electronic Business is a rare find, a book that is useful both as a reference and as a textbook for advanced undergraduate and graduate students. The editors have assembled a strong team of expert authors to provide the reader with a full and colorful review of e-business, in its current state and in its potential. The book is highly readable, something rare for a technical book. This is quite an accomplishment, worthy of praise.

Review by David Bennett.......2003-08-01

As Internet availability continues to grow and access is obtained at much faster speeds, e-business is becoming the norm rather than a novelty. This book is therefore timely as it recognizes the importance of web architecture in delivering services and information more efficiently through the electronic media." - Dr. David Bennett, Professor of Technology Management, Aston University, UK
