Book Description

For Westerners, there is a distinct cachet attached to living on a rooftop. Maybe its attraction lies in the openness of the space, or in being just that much higher than most, or in the feeling of standing in an open oasis, sometimes unencumbered by walls, but frequently with an enviable view. Conversely, in many large Eastern cities, building on the rooftop is simply a way to capitalize on a building's limited footprint, or dealing with the lack of affordable real estate. In fact, one of the leading options for the future of these cities is the use of the flat roofs of residential buildings and office blocks as a building site. Rooftop buildings can intensify the existing city, inject it with new vitality, and break through the monotony of building prototypes. So far the exploitation of rooftop space has been limited. Analyzed and described here are the opportunities for realizing projects of this kind, as well as the potential difficulties that may arise--using interesting examples of construction on top of existing buildings in the Netherlands and abroad. A work of resounding appeal, this publication provides documentation through photographs and text of intensive use of rooftop space in crowded cities, and fascinating examples of novelty structures by internationally renowned architects. Rooftop Architecture will appeal to architects, students, urban planners, and anyone interested in thinking outside the box.

Product Description

Income inequality has risen sharply in California over the past two decades, increasing faster in the state than in the nation as a whole. The growing gap between rich and poor in California results not only from rising incomes among the well-off but also from a precipitous drop in income among those in the mid-to-lowest levels of the income distribution. This study examines a number of possible explanations for the growing divergence in earnings among male workers in California. The study finds that immigration and rising returns to skill account for more of the widening gap than any of the other possibilities considered.

Product Description

Income inequality - a measure of how equally the income pie is divided among all members of society - has increased dramatically in the United States over the past three decades. To determine whether California trends have mirrored those of the nation, the authors analyze annual changes in income distribution from the late 1960s through 1994. Using five measures of inequality, 26 definitions of income, and two data series, they compare income levels and trends in California with those of the nation. Their analyses provide the most comprehensive picture ever assembled on income inequality in California.

Book Description

"The effort to objectify and systematize the process that brings people to treatment, though admirable, flies in the face of the broad variability of human experience and behavior. In spite of the attempt to systematize the diagnostic and treatment process, our ability to predict how people will think and act remains imprecise. Instead of just struggling to uncover the 'truth' underlying psychological problems, it makes more sense to try to teach people the skills they need to effect ongoing change and gain the means to care for themselves." — Barry G. Ginsberg from Relationship Enhancement Family Therapy

Self-sufficiency should be the goal of any therapeutic undertaking. Pioneered by Bernard Guerney in the 1950s, and proven effective over several decades, relationship enhancement (RE) therapy aims at training clients in the skills they need to identify and resolve causes of stress and discord within the family for themselves. Strongly influenced by Sullivanian existential and Rogerian client-centered thinking, the RE approach is based on the "Four Pillars": empathy, language and relationship, emotion, and acceptance (of self and others). Time-limited, educational, and highly structured, relationship enhancement family therapy is eminently compatible with the exigencies of today's managed care system.

Authored by a senior clinician who trained under Bernard Guerney, Relationship Enhancement Family Therapy is the first comprehensive guide to the theory and practice of this valuable approach to family therapy. Dr. Ginsberg begins with a thorough review of the theoretical underpinnings of RE, followed by a delineation of the role of the therapist in RE. Bolstered by extensive case studies, the remainder of the book is devoted to providing clinicians with practical guidelines for applying RE methods. RE is inherently development oriented; it arms clients with the skills to forge and foster healthy relationships throughout the life cycle. Hence, this book is structured so as to clearly demonstrate how RE principles and methods apply at all stages of the life span. Chapters cover the use of RE to improve child/parent relationships, adolescent/parent relationships, and relationships between adults, young adults, and their families. Special populations, such as single parents, remarried families, and groups for single individuals, as well as applications to specific mental health and drug and alcohol disorder problems are also included. The book concludes with an insightful discussion of the role of relationship enhancement therapy in the age of managed care.

Relationship Enhancement Family Therapy is the first comprehensive look at RE theory and practice since Bernard Guerney's 1977 classic. As such, it is important reading for family therapists, clinical psychologists, social workers, and all mental health professionals.

Book Description

Since its inception in 1962, the Relationship Enhancement model has assisted countless therapists in teaching couples how to nurture their relationship and solve problems independently. Relationship Enhancement Therapy provides a systematic guide for conducting highly effective couples' therapy. The book's step-by-step explanation of how to implement RE therapy is especially useful for less experienced clinicians while also providing more experienced clinicians insight into the method's many nuances. The book includes: a detailed outline for conducting a clinical intake with couples; an explanation of how to introduce each of the 10 RE skills; an explanation of two alternative ways to launch the RE couples dialogue process; and recommended home assignments throughout the RE therapy process. In addition, detailed coaching tips are included to help clinicians more effectively manage the RE therapy process, while six clinical vignettes are used to illustrate significant aspects of the method and to bring it to life. The final two chapters deal with the application of RE therapy to the Treatment of infidelity and affairs.

Relationship Enhancement: Healing Through Deep Empathy.......2005-11-10

I owned Relationship Enhancement Therapy over a month prior to attending my first RE Therapist's Training conducted by Dr. Scuka. The training is exceptional, and certainly served to reinforce what I had already garnered from his book. Scuka's book presents a review of evaluative research on RE substantiating its effectiveness, and challenges some current arguments questioning the value of communication/conflict skills training in therapy. His work detailing RE applications in cases of domestic violence provides a very thorough and well balanced discussion for assessing the best interests of victims within a couples' intervention model. I found the book to be both very cogent in presenting the RE Therapy Model and very illustrative in its clinical applications, which should be of value for both the novice or experienced clinician. He presents excellent case studies to guide the reader, and tackles in a single chapter what for most clinicians is one of the most complicating of couple traumas, infidelity. Dr. Scuka's writing style and his efforts throughout his multiple case studies, to open his own self-dialogue to the reader, afforded me ample opportunity to feel as if I were in his clinical office working to apply RE right along with him and his clients.

Relationship Enhancement Therapy.......2005-10-25

An excellent resource book for the mental health practitioner new to Relationship Enhancement Therapy or someone who has had training and needs a refresher or guide. Dr. Scuka presents a thorough, practical, and comprehensive explanation of how to conduct Relationship Enhancement Therapy with chapters describing the underlying philosophy, theory and evidence. Clinical vignettes are also included which bring the material alive.

Comprehensive RE book .......2005-07-29

This is a good book for those who are famililar with RE and can use it as an excellent reference. For those wanting to learn RE with couples, take one of Scuka's excellent classes first. This is not an introductory work.

John Hunt Morgan...The Kentucky Cavalier.......1998-08-04

John Hunt Morgan....This name stirred up the passion of both Northerners and Southerners, and in his biography of the General, James Ramage does an excellent job in telling us why. The Morgan in Ramage's biography comes across to us the readers, as not very religious...deeply rooted in the Southern lifestyle of the times, and as a careful soldier. I found two Morgan's in the book...The Morgan who was at his most successful after the period of his first wife's death, and

the Morgan who seems to lose interest in the war after his second marriage, when failure would always seem to bear its ugly head whenever the General attempted to do anything. Ramage has done a good deal of research, rooting out letters to and from the General, with special emphasis on Morgan's relationship with his second wife. This research helps us to understand the transformation of Morgan as the war went on, and helps the reader to ultimately understand this diverse per! sonality of our great internal conflict. The chapter on the death of Morgan is probably the best in the book, as Ramage tries to put down the various stories and myths that have cropped up over the years. All in all, I found Ramage's work a good read, and I recommend it to all Civil War enthusiasts.

How many humans died in the Old Testament? Twelve thousand died in this battle, thirty thousand in that slaughter, page after page of death and total destruction. Do you know how many gallons of wine God ordered for his New Year's celebration? Did you know that the God of the Jews knew nothing about the human body He "created," or that He was well-known as a war lord? Have you ever heard about the sounds God made when he flew, or how sorcery was used in the Bible. Did you know He had a second army? Has any minister ever told you of the talking animals and not one, but three Gods in the Old Testament! Read the Bible in a very different way and travel back 4000 years in time to a world never mentioned in church.

Book Description

". . . as the birding community has grown, the gulf between what the beginner knows and what the expert knows has also grown wider and wider. That's one of the reasons why Pete Dunne's writings are so valuable. Pete is undeniably a top birder, but he writes most of his material for people who are not. . . . In Dunne's birding world, shared interest is the only coin of the realm, and even the rank novice is greeted with respect."

—from the foreword by Kenn Kaufman

More Tales of a Low-Rent Birder brings together twenty-five recent essays that originally appeared in major birding publications. In these pieces, Pete Dunne ranges from wildly humorous to sadly elegiac, as he describes everything from the "field plumage" of the dedicated birder to the lingering death of an accidentally injured golden plover. Running like a thread through all the essays is Dunne's love and respect for the birds he watches, his concern over human threats to their survival, and his tolerance, even affection, for the human "odd birds" that birding attracts. Truly, these essays offer something for everyone interested in birds and the natural habitats our species share.
