In this provocative, startling book, Robert D. Kaplan, the bestselling author of Monsoon and Balkan Ghosts, offers a revelatory new prism through which to view global upheavals and to understand what lies ahead for continents and countries around the world.In The Revenge of Geography, Kaplan builds on the insights, discoveries, and theories of great geographers and geopolitical thinkers of the near and distant past to look back at critical pivots in history and then to look forward at the evolving global scene. Kaplan traces the history of the world's hot spots by examining their climates, topographies, and proximities to other embattled lands. The Russian steppe's pitiless climate and limited vegetation bred hard and cruel men bent on destruction, for example, while Nazi geopoliticians distorted geopolitics entirely, calculating that space on the globe used by the British Empire and the Soviet Union could be swallowed by a greater German homeland.Kaplan then applies the lessons learned to the present crises in Europe, Russia, China, the Indian subcontinent, Turkey, Iran, and the Arab Middle East. The result is a holistic interpretation of the next cycle of conflict throughout Eurasia. Remarkably, the future can be understood in the context of temperature, land allotment, and other physical certainties: China, able to feed only 23 percent of its people from land that is only 7 percent arable, has sought energy, minerals, and metals from such brutal regimes as Burma, Iran, and Zimbabwe, putting it in moral conflict with the United States. Afghanistan's porous borders will keep it the principal invasion route into India, and a vital rear base for Pakistan, India's main enemy. Iran will exploit the advantage of being the only country that straddles both energy-producing areas of the Persian Gulf and the Caspian Sea. Finally, Kaplan posits that the United States might rue engaging in far-flung conflicts with Iraq and Afghanistan rather than tending to its direct neighbor Mexico, which is on the verge of becoming a semifailed state due to drug cartel carnage.A brilliant rebuttal to thinkers who suggest that globalism will trump geography, this indispensable work shows how timeless truths and natural facts can help prevent this century's looming cataclysms.Bron : http://www.randomhouse.com

Sociaal werkers zijn als duizendpoten actief in de samenleving. Ze werken binnen een diversiteit aan organisatorische contexten vanuit een veelheid aan functies. Daarbij werken ze samen met cliënten, professionals, vrijwilligers en mantelzorgers. Bovenal zijn ze er voor de meest uiteenlopende bevolkingsgroepen waarbij ze worden geconfronteerd met allerhande individuele, sociale en maatschappelijke vraagstukken. In deze complexiteit dreigt het zicht op de gemeenschappelijke basis van het beroep verloren te gaan. Dit zicht is echter van groot belang voor het ontwikkelen van een krachtige beroepsidentiteit, voor de herkenbaarheid van het beroepsgroep, en voor het verstevigen van de positie van het beroep in de samenleving. Dit boek biedt inzicht in een representatieve selectie van methoden en praktijken met bijzondere aandacht voor de gemeenschappelijke grondslagen. Zo wordt recht gedaan aan de veelkleurigheid die het beroep kenmerkt, maar vooral ook aan de brede basis die hieraan ten grondslag ligt.De brede basis van het sociaal werk bestaat uit vier delen en een beschouwend slothoofdstuk. Deel I beschrijft de gemeenschappelijke basis van het sociaal werk met aandacht voor historische kwesties, belangrijke thema's, de wetenschappelijke kennisbasis en het methodisch handelen. De structuur voor de overige delen verwijst naar de diverse oorsprongen van het sociaal werk - social casework, social group work en community development. In die delen ontstaat een beeld van een professional die kan werken op individueel niveau, op het niveau van gezin, groep en gemeenschap en zich daarbij tegelijk inzet voor het verbeteren en opbouwen van een gezonde en rechtvaardige samenleving.

Libraries have existed for millennia, but today the library field is searching for solid footing in an increasingly fragmented (and increasingly digital) information environment. What is librarianship when it is unmoored from cataloging, books, buildings, and committees? In The Atlas of New Librarianship, R. David Lankes offers a guide to this new landscape for practitioners. He describes a new librarianship based not on books and artifacts but on knowledge and learning; and he suggests a new mission for librarians: to improve society through facilitating knowledge creation in their communities. The vision for a new librarianship must go beyond finding library-related uses for information technology and the Internet; it must provide a durable foundation for the field. Lankes recasts librarianship and library practice using the fundamental concept that knowledge is created though conversation. New librarians approach their work as facilitators of conversation; they seek to enrich, capture, store, and disseminate the conversations of their communities. To help librarians navigate this new terrain, Lankes offers a map, a visual representation of the field that can guide explorations of it; more than 140 Agreements, statements about librarianship that range from relevant theories to examples of practice; and Threads, arrangements of Agreements to explain key ideas, covering such topics as conceptual foundations and skills and values. Agreement Supplements at the end of the book offer expanded discussions. Although it touches on theory as well as practice, the Atlas is meant to be a tool: textbook, conversation guide, platform for social networking, and call to action.Bron : http://mitpress.mit.edu
