The evidence-based movement is an important force in human services. The highest quality care can be provided to individuals, communities, and society through evidence-based policies and practices. The questions are: “What is evidence-based practice in human services, and how do you do it?” This book addresses these questions through the experience and insights of policy-makers, clinicians, researchers, evaluators, and a consumer. The authors of the various chapters come from diverse disciplines: psychology, sociology, social work, evaluation, and public policy. This book covers such topics as the definition and history of evidence-based policy, the federal role, the role of the states, European perspectives, the development of evidence-based programs, a consumer’s experience, and problems with the evidence-based approach. This book makes an excellent addition to the libraries of policy-makers, researchers, clinicians, community leaders, evaluators, and anyone else who desires insight into this timely and crucial topic.
La Pedagogía Diferencial es, ante todo, una perspectiva, un enfoque particular dentro de las Ciencias de la Educación que se ocupa de analizar, y de responder, a las diferencias existentes entre, y dentro de, sujetos y grupos; concentrándose específicamente en aquellas diferencias que sean relevantes al hecho educativo.

Gothic style and contemporary architecture worldwide Although largely overlooked in studies of architectural history, church architecture in a Gothic idiom outlived its 19th century momentum to persist worldwide throughout the 20th century and into the new millennium.

The book’s chapters critically discuss Gothic’s various manifestations over the past century, describing and illustrating approaches from Gothic Revival living traditions in the former British Empire and original Gothic appropriation in Lati...
As the magazine of the Texas Exes, The Alcalde has united alumni and friends of The University of Texas at Austin for nearly 100 years. The Alcalde serves as an intellectual crossroads where UT's luminaries - artists, engineers, executives, musicians, attorneys, journalists, lawmakers, and professors among them - meet bimonthly to exchange ideas. Its pages also offer a place for Texas Exes to swap stories and share memories of Austin and their alma mater. The magazine's unique name is Spanish for "mayor" or "chief magistrate"; the nickname of the governor who signed UT into existence was "The Old Alcalde."

Este libro trata sobre la protección de los intereses importantes de las personas. El punto de partida es diferente al habitual. Mientras que en la tradición de la filosofía política y jurídica la tónica ha sido ubicarse en el espacio público para pensar desde allí la convivencia y las protecciones que el derecho viene llamado a regular, aquí la autora nos sitúa en el contexto de lo privado, de la familia, de lo íntimo, para observar a sus protagonistas, enfocar a las mujeres y desentrañar conceptos, conflictos, demandas. Al mirar desde el espacio de lo privado, surge una lectura diferente de cuestiones tan centrales e importantes en la vida de las personas como la sexualidad, la reproducción o la violencia en las relaciones de pareja. Desde el lugar de las protagonistas de la vida privada y familiar aparecen aspectos y propuestas que apuntan a la configuración de nuevos instrumentos jurídicos.
