Get the Picture
AN INSTANT NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER In Cork Dork, Bianca Bosker trained her insatiable curiosity, journalist's knack for infiltrating exclusive circles and eye for unforgettable characters on the wine world as she trained to become a sommelier.

As she stretches canvas...
Intersections With Attachment
Attachment has long been a key area of social development. Work on attachment processes has involved a variety of species as well as humans in diverse cultures and at various points in the life cycle. This volume presents research devoted to the meaning and implications of the attachment concept, including possible indices of attachment, the role of learning, whether or not attachment is best treated as continuous or discontinuous, and considerations for viewing attachment as a trait across environmental settings or as a process with functions that operate differently in disparate settings. Other psychological-process concepts, such as imprinting, relationships, and identification are also discussed. Because the contributors are active researchers and theorists, this volume may help establish trends and determine directions to shape literature on attachment for years to come.
Institutional Issues
Volume II considers values and culture at the institutional level. What constitutes a good 'whole school' approach in this arena? The book discusses key issues and reports on whole-school initiatives around the world. Several contributions focus on the vital issue of teacher education.
