Publisher: New York: Cambridge University Press
Abstract: The poverty rate for children in the United States exceeds that of all other Western, industrialized nations except Australia. Moreover, poverty among children has increased substantially since 1970, affecting more than one-fifth of U.S. children. These persistent high rates require new ideas in both research and public policy. Escape from Poverty presents such ideas. Four modes of possible change are addressed: mothers' employment, child care, father involvement, and access to health care. It examines the implications of these new policy-driven changes for children. The editors have developed an interdisciplinary perspective, involving demographers, developmental psychologists, economists, health experts, historians, and sociologists--a framework essential for addressing the complexities inherent in the links between the lives of poor adults and children in our society.

Publisher: New York: Russell Sage Foundation Press
Abstract: One in five American children now live in families with incomes below the poverty line, and their prospects are not bright. Low income is statistically linked with a variety of poor outcomes for children, from low birth weight and poor nutrition in infancy to increased chances of academic failure, emotional distress, and unwed childbirth in adolescence. To address these problems it is not enough to know that money makes a difference; we need to understand how. Consequences of Growing Up Poor is an extensive and illuminating examination of the paths through which economic deprivation damages children at all stages of their development.

Abstract: To grasp the human cost of poverty, we must clearly understand how living in distressed neighborhoods impairs children's ability to function at every level. Neighborhood Poverty explores the multiple and complex paths between community, family, and childhood development. These two volumes provide and indispensable guide for social policy and demonstrate the power of interdisciplinary social science to probe complex social issues. Drawing from national and city-based sources, Volume I reports the empirical evidence concerning the relationship between children and community. Volume II incorporates empirical data on neighborhood poverty into discussions of policy and program development and explores the possibilities for a richer and more well-rounded understanding of neighborhood and poverty issues.

Abstract: The adolescent period has attracted much attention as an ideal period for investigating interactive models incorporating biological maturation with intra- and interpersonal development. The focus of this volume is on adolescent transitions in three domains: the peer system, the family system, and school and work contexts. Its goal is to highlight specific aspects of innovative research programs and initiatives, and look forward to future directions in the field. Because interest in adolescence has spanned the disciplines, this volume reflects a multidisciplinary perspective -- presenting research and methods from life-span development, sociology, anthropology, and education to provide exemplars of the range of approaches used in understanding the processes and transitions of adolescent development.

Title: Teachers and Educational Change: The Lived Experience of Secondary School Restructuring

Contact:	dmeister@psu.edu W352 Olmsted Building Penn State Harrisburg Middletown, PA 17057 Phone: (717)948-6539 Fax: (717)948-6064
Publisher: SUNY Press
Abstract: This book vividly portrays the experiences of five secondary teachers who were involved in a school restructuring initiative that focused on interdisciplinary curriculum development, team teaching, and block scheduling. The year the authors spent with the teachers resulted in a deeper understanding of the phenomenology of change experiences that can be used to develop more fruitful, empowering, and teacher sensitive strategies. The story of the change experience is presented through five interlocking and mutually reinforcing themes that dominated the teachers' experience and understanding: uncertainty; intensification; lack of administrative leadership; subject allegiance versus team loyalty; and craft pride, caring, and moral purpose.

Abstract: METHODS OF TEACHING: APPLYING COGNITIVE SCIENCE TO PROMOTE STUDENT LEARNING helps prospective teachers learn how to apply recent findings by cognitive scientists to their classroom practices in order to promote true conceptual change among their students. The book focuses squarely on ways to bring about deep rather than surface learning to all students.

Planning for instruction, behavior management, and technology are integrated into each chapter. Read more about the book at http://www.mhhe.com/catalogs/007282946x.mhtml

Abstract: In today’s violent world, the tragedy of death for a child of any age affects the learning process. Sometimes it can even be the death of a child within the classroom.

Teachers especially need tools such as this book to keep the class on task, ready to learn.

Abstract: What if the rumors were true? What if Queen Elizabeth I had a love affair with Edward De Vere, the 17th Earl of Oxford, and they had a son? Is that beautiful love story told under the pen name of William Shakespeare to keep their secret and their son safe? If so, we can read the sonnets with much clearer, more satisfying interpretations. We can solve the riddle of the Dedication to the Sonnets (the legacy of the son the poet could not acknowledge). And we can name the Dark Lady, the Fair Youth, and the Rival Poets who have remained a mystery for 400 years.
