ISBN: 9780803950832 / Angielski / Miękka / 1993 / 391 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. The editor of this volume asserts that sociology's ostrich-like stance threatens to leave the discipline in a position of irrelevance to the world at large and compromises the support of policymakers, funders, media and the public. Wilson's vision is of a sociology attuned to the public agenda, influencing public policy through both short and long-range analysis from a sociological perspective. Using a variety of policy issues, perspectives, methods and cases, the distinguished contibutors to this volume both demonstrate and emphasize Wilson's ideas.

Ghetto Schooling : Political Economy of Urban Educational Reform
ISBN: 9780807736623 / Angielski / Miękka / 2002 / 217 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. In this personal account, Jean Anyon provides evidence that the economic and political devastation of America's inner cities has robbed schools and teachers of the capacity to successfully implement current strategies of educational reform. She argues that without fundamental change in government and business policies and the redirection of major resources back into the schools and the communities they serve, urban schools are consigned to failure, and no effort at raising standards, improving teaching, or boosting achievement can occur.

Common Purpose: Strengthening Families and Neighborhoods to Rebuild America
ISBN: 9780385475334 / Angielski / Miękka / 1998 / 512 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. In her previous book, Within Our Reach, renowned Harvard social analyst Lisbeth Schorr examined pilot social programs that were successful in helping disadvantaged youth and families. But as those cutting-edge programs were expanded, the very qualities that had made them initially successful were jettisoned, and less than half of them ultimately survived. As a result, these groundbreaking programs never made a dent on the national or statewide level.
Lisbeth Schorr has spent the past seven years researching and identifying large-scale programs across the country that are promising... In her previous book, Within Our Reach, renowned Harvard social analyst Lisbeth Schorr examined pilot social programs that were successful in ...
