Strong Fathers, Strong Daughters: 10 Secrets Every Father Should Know

Perfect for Father's Day, a critical read for all dads seeking to connect with their daughters and raise confident young women in today's increasingly complicated world. It's often difficult for parents to connect with their daughters-and especially so for fathers. In this unique and invaluable guide, Dr. Meg Meeker, a pediatrician with more than twenty years' experience counseling girls, reveals that a young woman's relationship with her father is far more important than we've ever realized. To become a strong, confident woman, a daughter needs her father's attention, protection, courage, and wisdom. Dr. Meeker shares the ten secrets every father needs to know in order to strengthen or rebuild bonds with his daughter and shape her life-and his own-for the better. Inside you'll discover: - the essential virtues of strong fathers-and how to develop them - the cues daughters take from their dads on everything from self-respect to drugs, alcohol, and sex - the truth about ground rules (girls do want them, despite their protests) - the importance of becoming a hero to your daughter - the biggest mistake a dad can make-and the ramifications - the fact that girls actually depend on their dads' guidance into adulthood - steps fathers can follow to help daughters avoid disastrous decisions and mistakes - ways in which a father's faith-or lack thereof-will influence his daughter - essential communication strategies for different stages of a girl's life - true stories of "prodigal daughters"-and how their fathers helped to bring them back Dads, you are far more powerful than you think-and if you follow Dr. Meeker's advice, the rewards will be unmatched. "Reassuring and challenging . . . a helpful road map for concerned fathers that] tackles difficult issues." -National Review "A touching, illuminating book that will prove valuable to all of us who are fortunate enough to have been blessed with daughters." -Michael Medved, nationally syndicated radio talk-show host, author of Right Turns "Dr. Meeker's conclusions are timely, relevant, and often deeply moving. No one interested in what girls experience growing up in our culture today-and the impact that parents, especially fathers, have on the experience-can afford to miss reading this book." -Armand M. Nicholi, Jr., M.D., professor of psychiatry, Harvard Medical School

A People's History of the World

World history textbooks generally focus on politics, culture, and ideas. A People's History of the World takes a fundamentally different approach to understanding the nature of change over time on a global scale. Although politics, the history of ideas, and culture receive considerable attention, the ideas and cultural practices that animated the masses are given pride of place. This methodology reveals underlying continuities that are often masked when the frame is history from the top down. For today's students who often feel isolated from elites and frustrated by the difficulties of enacting change, a different approach can be both illuminating and empowering. From the ground up, global history looks quite different.

Global Governance and the Emergence of Global Institutions for the 21st Century

The world today is facing unprecedented challenges of governance far beyond what the United Nations, established more than 70 years ago, was designed to face. The grave effects of global climate change are already manifesting themselves, requiring rapid, far-reaching and unprecedented changes in all aspects of society if we are to arrest catastrophic and probably irreversible consequences. Science has uncovered the frightening and rapid collapse in global biodiversity, threatening ecosystems across the planet that maintain the correct functioning of the biosphere, upon which we rely for survival. But there is more; there are other global catastrophic risks. We live in a world in which a diminished faith in our political leaders and governmental structures, public disillusionment with partisan politics and a willingness to believe populist promises, disturbing trends in income inequality, human rights violations and the spread of corruption have coincided with the rise of autocratic leaders, often intent on awakening the voices of nationalisms which have been so destructive during the 20th century. The rejection by some nations of the benefits of multilaterism and international cooperation, which have been at the center of the postwar global order, has heightened the risks of fundamental instabilities that could precipitate a range of major crises, disregarding the lessons of the past"--

Wicked Problems in Public Policy Understanding and Responding to Complex Challenges

"The concept of wicked problems has become very commonly used, and abused, in contemporary studies of public policy. While expressing some appropriate skepticism about the concept, Brian Head uses the idea to analyse the numerous difficult problems facing governments in the 21st century." ---B. Guy Peters, Maurice Falk Professor of American Government, University of Pittsburgh, USA "Rich with empirical detail, this book looks set to become the definitive work on wicked issues and what to do about them." ---Claire A. Dunlop, Professor of Politics, University of Exeter, UK "This book provides a concise introduction to the concept and management of "wicked" problems: the kind of poorly-structured, intractable policy problems with unknown solutions with which policy-makers, unfortunately, must engage on a frequent basis." ---Michael Howlett, Burnaby Mountain Professor and Canada Research Chair, Simon Fraser University, Canada This is an open access book. This book offers the first overview of the 'wicked problems' literature, often seen as complex, open-ended, and intractable, with both the nature of the 'problem' and the preferred 'solution' being strongly contested. It contextualises the debate using a wide range of relevant policy examples, explaining why these issues attract so much attention. There is an increasing interest in the conceptual and practical aspects of how 'wicked problems' are identified, understood and managed by policy practitioners. The standard public management responses to complexity and uncertainty (including traditional regulation and market-based solutions) are insufficient. Leaders often advocate and implement ideological 'quick fixes', but integrative and inclusive responses are increasingly being utilised to recognise the multiple interests and complex causes of these problems. This book uses examples from a wide range of social, economic and environmental fields in order to develop new insights about better solutions, and thus gain broad stakeholder acceptance for shared strategies for tackling 'wicked problems'. Brian Head is Professor of Public Policy at the University of Queensland, Australia. He is the editor or co-author of 12 books and over 100 academic articles on public management, governance, social issues and environmental policy. .
