This book is about an art in which the Netherlands excels: strategic planning. Foreign observers will need little convincing of the merits of Dutch planning. They will want to know whether routine explanations (small country, industrious, disciplined people hardened by the perennial fight against the sea) hold any water, and they will want to know where to look for the bag of tricks of Dutch planners. Dutch readers need to be convinced first that planning in the Netherlands is indeed effective before contemplating how this has come about. Our message for both is that, to the extent that Dutch planners do live in what others are inclined to see as a planners' paradise, it is a paradise carefully constructed and maintained by the planners themselves. This smacks of Bernard Shaw describing a profession as a conspiracy against laity. However, all knowledge and all technologies are 'socially constructed', meaning that they are the products of people or groups pursuing often conflicting aims and coming to arrangements about what is to pass as 'true' and 'good'. So this takes away the odium of Dutch planners having their own agenda. Positioning ourselves We are in the business of interpreting Dutch planning, and at the same time committed to improving it. This makes us part of the situation which we describe. This situation is characterized by the existence of two divergent traditions, urban design and the social-science discipline called 'planologie'.

Planning theorists are often criticised for being insufficiently concerned with the needs of practitioners. The author of this book takes a view of planning which centres around the decision-making process and offers a theoretical approach which takes practice as its starting point. Building on his earlier important work, Planning Theory (Pergamon URPS 1984, first edition, 1973), this book constitutes a further major advance in planning thought, synthesizing the influence of the British IOR School with the American 'rational planning model'. Going beyond previous 'generic' approaches, the work culminates in a consideration of theory and practice in the planning of all forms of environmental intervention.

A selection of essays concerned with the evolution of thought in the fields of both planning theory and education. A joint treatment of these closely related themes adds to the understanding of planning theory as a conceptual basis for planning and aims to engender discussion of improvements to the education of planners.

Everything's an Argument's unique, student-centered approach to teaching argument has made it the best-selling brief argument text on the market. The book's engaging, informal style shows students first how to read and analyze a wide range of argumentative texts -- verbal and visual, scholarly and "real world" -- and then how to use what they learn to write their own arguments. Andrea Lunsford and John Ruszkiewicz's instruction is fresh, elegant, and jargon-free, emphasizing inclusivity (moving beyond simple pro/con positions), humor, and visual argument to make Everything's an Argument immediately accessible. Students like this book because it helps them see and understand that a world of argument already surrounds them; instructors like it because it helps students construct their own arguments about that world.

Freddy Beamer was a dreamer and is the story of every child. As children, we have the capacity to dream big dreams. Often, they don't appear right away, and we can lose sight of them and give up. Freddy is the story of keeping that dream alive through thick and thin. However, Freddy also shows us that he doesn't just lie around dreaming all the time. He is also a doer. He shows us that by putting together dreams and actions, nothing is impossible.

This picture book of “These are not pancakes” was written in remembrance of my mom. She would leave pancakes on the stove for my brother and me to eat before she left for work early in the morning while we were still asleep. When we woke up, we would find pancakes on the stove to eat before we dress and take off to school. I believe I will never forget those days how much I loved my mom and how caring she was. My hope for this book is that teachers would enjoy having this book as one of their read-aloud to keep the joy of reading elevated in the minds of their students. Also, parents or anyone that would love to have this book to share with a child. There are many ways to make pancakes. This book would fascinate pancake lovers and motivate them to learn more ways to make pancakes as well as making healthy pancakes that would excite and motivate our children to eat healthy pancakes that taste good! There is a YouTube video to help you learn about the history of pancakes.
