ISBN: 9780415021340 / Angielski / Twarda / 492 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. A commitment to acceptable levels of accommodation for all has meant that housing has normally enjoyed a high place on the agendas of most socialist countries. However this place has not always been undisputed, and housing has to compete with other welfare and economic requirements. As a result the housing policies in the Eastern bloc have not been uniform.

Applications of the Expansion Method
ISBN: 9780415034944 / Angielski / Twarda / 400 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. The disciplines of the social sciences have turned to models to identify and define relationships between critical variables. The dynamism of these variables can render models inadequate. The expansion method provides a means of reintroducing the complexities of the real world without destroying the models in the process. As such, the expansion method is geography's response to the theories of social sciences. As a technique, it provides a systematic methodology appropriate for the investigation of contextual variability in virtually any empirical research setting. As a research paradigm, the...

Hundreds of millions of tenants live in Third World cities; in many cities they constitute the majority of households. Despite their numerical importance, we remain ignorant of this large mass of people and the conditions in which they live. We are even more ignorant about those who provide rental accommodation, even if we have inherited strong prejudices about the characteristics of the typical landlord. This book attempts to summarize what we know about rental housing in Latin America, and compares this with other areas in the developing world.

ISBN: 9780415065320 / Angielski / Twarda / 174 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych.

ISBN: 9780415069694 / Angielski / Miękka / 238 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Evaluation, whether in schools and colleges, LEAs or TECs is now universally recognised as an essential part of any effective educational and training system.

This book provides a solution to both problems. It offers evaluation processes which accept time limitations and work within them an it strips away the mystique of evaluation to describe methods and procedures which will enable...
