Human Development II
Human Development II offers an overview of a wide range of contemporary issues in education and society, including emotional intelligence; various models of education; family, leadership; experiential learning; personal development; recreational activities; the arts; philosophy; music; and media. These topics are all currently subject to research and debate, but have been prevalent throughout history, impacting on different fields, including education, communication, and health.

As such, this book represents a highly useful and contemporary manual for both students and the general public interested in the social sciences.

Saint-Germain and Cynthia Chavez Metoyer explore the reasons for this unprecedented political rise of women, and what effect it has had on the region. Focusing on Costa Rica, El Salvador, Guatemala, Honduras, and Nicaragua, the authors analyze national and regional indicators to evaluate various hypotheses concerning the reasons for women's electoral success in the reg...
