Book Description
Depuis plusieurs dizaines d’années, le handicap mental chez l’enfant est un sujet de débats, de polémiques et d’affrontements. Il fallait faire le point et présenter l’état actuel de la question : un livre complet, clair, facile à consulter. Pour la première fois, chacun peut aisément prendre connaissance de la méthode de Philip Wood, mise au point pour l’évaluation des conséquences des maladies, et adoptée par l’Organisation Mondiale de la Santé. Il est temps que la réflexion sorte du cercle restreint des spécialistes. Une manière neuve de poser les questions permet enfin de progresser. Les conséquences des maladies ne sont plus un fait homogène, qu’on pourrait appeler LE handicap, mais bien plusieurs faits hétérogènes (LES handicaps), dont varient la nature, l’intensité, et les rapports avec l’environnement : un processus évolutif complexe. Cet ouvrage, sans parti pris, ne ménage personne, mais contribue à mettre au premier plan les questions concrètes si difficiles dans la vie ordinaire des patients, de leurs familles, des professionnels et des décideurs. À partir de la méthode de Wood, ce livre apporte un éclairage historique, une approche clinique, et se prononce sur les choix des politiques de santé. Des annexes détaillées apportent les informations complémentaires, souvent inédites, indispensables à quiconque veut approfondir sa compréhension des enjeux actuels à propos du handicap mental de l’enfant. Une bibliographie et un index facilitent le travail du lecteur.

Book Description
This Child-Friendly Schools (CFS) Manual was developed during three-and-a-half years of continuous work, involving the United Nations Children's Fund education staff and specialists from partner agencies working on quality education. It benefits from fieldwork in 155 countries and territories, evaluations carried out by the Regional Offices and desk reviews conducted by headquarters in New York. The manual is a part of a total resource package that includes an e-learning package for capacity-building in the use of CFS models and a collection of field case studies to illustrate the state of the art in child-friendly schools in a variety of settings.

Book Description
In medicine the understanding and interpretation of the complex reality of illness currently refers either to an organismic approach that focuses on the physical or to a 'holistic' approach that takes into account the patient's human sociocultural involvement. Yet as the papers of this collection show, the suffering human person refers ultimately to his/her existential sphere. Hence, praxis is supplemented by still other perspectives for valuation and interpretation: ethical, spiritual, and religious. Can medicine ignore these considerations or push them to the side as being subjective and arbitrary? Phenomenology/philosophy-of-life recognizes all of the above approaches to be essential facets of the Human Condition (Tymieniecka). This approach holds that all the facets of the Human Condition have equal objectivity and legitimacy. It completes the accepted medical outlook and points the way toward a new `medical humanism'.

Book Description
The STICS crop model has been developed since 1996 at INRA in collaboration with other research and technical institutes. The model syntheses, illustrates and concretizes an important part of the French agronomic knowledge as a point of view on the field and cropping systems working. The formalisations of the STICS crop model presented in this book can be considered as references used in the framework of crop sciences. The book arrangement relies on the way the model designs the crop-soil system functioning, each chapter being devoted to a set of important functions such as growth initiation, yield onset, water uptake, transformation of organic matter etc. One chapter deals with the cropping system and long term simulations and the final chapter is about the involvement of the user in terms of option choices and parameterization. If this book is mainly intended for scientists who use the STICS model, it can also be useful for agronomists, crop modellers, students and technicians looking for elementary formalizations of the crop-soil system functioning.
