Book Applying Social Work Theory

Download or read book Applying Social Work Theory written by Barbara Bassot and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2024-07-25 with total page 217 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As a social worker, theory can offer meaningful ways to better understand and support the people you work with. However, sometimes it can be challenging to connect the theories learned about in class and training, with the complex real-life situations encountered as a practitioner. Applying Social Work Theory: A Journal is an innovative tool for learning and applying social work theory to practice. Designed to be written in, this unique journal encourages more active and creative engagement with theory in three parts: · Part I introduces twelve of the most common theories covered on social work courses, with case studies to illustrate how these can be applied · Part II demonstrates how you can apply multiple theories to three complex case studies from social work practice · Part III offers guidance on writing your own case studies based on your practice placement Each chapter starts with a short and accessible summary of the theory and then presents five practical steps to help you understand and use the theory in your practice. By answering reflective questions, completing exercises and applying theories to case studies and your own experiences, you will become more confident in engaging with theory. This book is a must-have companion for social work students on placement and qualified social workers new to the field.

Book Underflows

  • Author : Cleo Wölfle Hazard
  • Publisher : University of Washington Press
  • Release : 2022-03-14
  • ISBN : 0295749768
  • Pages : 314 pages

Download or read book Underflows written by Cleo Wölfle Hazard and published by University of Washington Press. This book was released on 2022-03-14 with total page 314 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Rivers host vibrant multispecies communities in their waters and along their banks, and, according to queer-trans-feminist river scientist Cleo Wölfle Hazard, their future vitality requires centering the values of justice, sovereignty, and dynamism. At the intersection of river sciences, queer and trans theory, and environmental justice, Underflows explores river cultures and politics at five sites of water conflict and restoration in California, Oregon, and Washington. Incorporating work with salmon, beaver, and floodplain recovery projects, Wölfle Hazard weaves narratives about innovative field research practices with an affectively oriented queer and trans focus on love and grief for rivers and fish. Drawing on the idea of underflows—the parts of a river’s flow that can’t be seen, the underground currents that seep through soil or rise from aquifers through cracks in bedrock—Wölfle Hazard elucidates the underflows in river cultures, sciences, and politics where Native nations and marginalized communities fight to protect rivers. The result is a deeply moving account of why rivers matter for queer and trans life, offering critical insights that point to innovative ways of doing science that disrupt settler colonialism and new visions for justice in river governance.

Book excerpt: This fast-paced and darkly funny novel asks the question: How do you balance compassion for others with self-assuredness, without either becoming a doormat or alienating everyone close to you? Like many women, Win Earlie has always been the good girl. At home and at work, everyone could count on her to make them feel better, even though her smile was like a mask she wore to convince people to like her. But illness, an accident, family friction, and even a murder compel Win to transform herself into someone confident and assertive. After all, life is too short to pretend to be someone you aren't. Indeed, life seems brighter when she starts to act more like her true self. But then Win's life begins to splinter into pieces, and she might lose everything that is important to her. Did her transformation go too far?

Book Optical Fiber Telecommunications VA

Download or read book Optical Fiber Telecommunications VA written by Tingye Li and published by Elsevier. This book was released on 2010-07-28 with total page 945 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Optical Fiber Telecommunications V (A&B) is the fifth in a series that has chronicled the progress in the research and development of lightwave communications since the early 1970s. Written by active authorities from academia and industry, this edition not only brings a fresh look to many essential topics but also focuses on network management and services. Using high bandwidth in a cost-effective manner for the development of customer applications is a central theme. This book is ideal for R&D engineers and managers, optical systems implementers, university researchers and students, network operators, and the investment community. Volume (A) is devoted to components and subsystems, including: semiconductor lasers, modulators, photodetectors, integrated photonic circuits, photonic crystals, specialty fibers, polarization-mode dispersion, electronic signal processing, MEMS, nonlinear optical signal processing, and quantum information technologies. Volume (B) is devoted to systems and networks, including: advanced modulation formats, coherent systems, time-multiplexed systems, performance monitoring, reconfigurable add-drop multiplexers, Ethernet technologies, broadband access and services, metro networks, long-haul transmission, optical switching, microwave photonics, computer interconnections, and simulation tools. Biographical Sketches Ivan Kaminow retired from Bell Labs in 1996 after a 42-year career. He conducted seminal studies on electrooptic modulators and materials, Raman scattering in ferroelectrics, integrated optics, semiconductor lasers (DBR , ridge-waveguide InGaAsP and multi-frequency), birefringent optical fibers, and WDM networks. Later, he led research on WDM components (EDFAs, AWGs and fiber Fabry-Perot Filters), and on WDM local and wide area networks. He is a member of the National Academy of Engineering and a recipient of the IEEE/OSA John Tyndall, OSA Charles Townes and IEEE/LEOS Quantum Electronics Awards. Since 2004, he has been Adjunct Professor of Electrical Engineering at the University of California, Berkeley. Tingye Li retired from AT&T in 1998 after a 41-year career at Bell Labs and AT&T Labs. His seminal work on laser resonator modes is considered a classic. Since the late 1960s, He and his groups have conducted pioneering studies on lightwave technologies and systems. He led the work on amplified WDM transmission systems and championed their deployment for upgrading network capacity. He is a member of the National Academy of Engineering and a foreign member of the Chinese Academy of Engineering.

Book Cl  o de 5 a 7

    Book Details:
  • Author : Steven Ungar
  • Publisher : Bloomsbury Publishing
  • Release : 2020-05-28
  • ISBN : 1838719350
  • Pages : 126 pages

Download or read book Cl o de 5 a 7 written by Steven Ungar and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2020-05-28 with total page 126 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Cléo de 5 à 7 (Cléo from 5 to 7), Agnes Varda's classic 1962 work depicts, in near real-time, 90 minutes in the life of Cléo, a young woman in Paris awaiting the results of medical tests that she fears will confirm a fatal condition. The film, whose visual beauty matches its evocation of early-Fifth Republic Paris, was a major point of reference for the French New Wave despite the fact that Varda never considered herself a member of the core Cahiers du cinéma group of critics-turned- film-makers. Ungar provides a close reading of the film and situates it in its social, political and cinematic contexts, tracing Varda's early career as a student of art history and as a photographer, the history of post-war French film, and the lengthy Algerian war to which Cléo's health concerns and ambitions to become a pop singer make her more or less oblivious. His study is the first to set a reading of Cléo's formal and technical complexity alongside an analysis of its status as a visual document of its historical moment. Steven Ungar's foreword to this new edition looks back upon Varda's film-making career and considers her contributions as a female auteur and in the context of the French New Wave.
