Od pracovníků v zdravotně sociálních oborech se očekává vysoká kulturní úroveň osobnostní výbavy, altruistické jednání a schopnost hledat při řešení každodenních problémů cesty, které respektují důstojnost člověka v tíživé situaci. Při své práci se setkávají s klienty různých věkových a sociálních skupin, s klienty různě zdravotně či sociálně znevýhodněnými i s tzv. "obtížnými" klienty.V důsledku toho je jejich práce náročná a vyžaduje překonávání řady úskalí. Autoři publikace se snažili vytvořit syntetické dílo, které pojednává o různých etických aspektech zdravotní a sociální práce, a které tudíž pomůže připravit zdravotně sociální pracovníky tak, aby jejich jednání a chování v každodenním kontaktu s klienty bylo profesionální a etické.

UML Applied: A .NET Perspective is the first book to examine the two worlds of Unified Modeling Language (UML) and .NET concurrently. The core of this book provides a set of proven, hands-on, team-oriented exercises that will have you solving real-world problems with UML faster than when using any other approach—often in under a day. Author Martin Shoemaker also demonstrates how to use Rational XDE for effective model-driven development. From the author: “In teaching UML to my students, nothing has been as effective as 'Five-Step UML,' a process I devised by stripping away, one piece at a time, everything that got in the way of learning UML. Eventually, I was left with five simple, clear steps that show the students why and how to use UML, by having them start the class by actually solving problems with UML. After they learn the why and the how, they're motivated to learn the what: the details of the UML notation. And they have a lot of fun in the process. Now 'Im using Five-Step UML to teach .NET analysis and design in a larger framework. I call it model-driven development—UML models as the central artifacts of the development process, with other artifacts (code, tests, documents, even estimates and schedules) all deriving from the models. With this book, I've collected my Five-Step UML and model-driven development thoughts into one complete package. I also give a UML perspective of the .NET Common Language Runtime and the .NET Framework, providing a graphical overview that complements the online help.”

This powerful collection will inspire new and veteran teachers to make space for childrens interests, for teaching as relational and intellectual work, and for new insights and ideas. The authors introduce the Prospect Centers Descriptive Review of Practice, a collaborative inquiry process that provides an opportunity for teachers to examine their practice and gain new perspectives from other participants. The contributors to this volume respond to each childs modes of thinking as they develop curriculum or find wiggle room in curricula they are given. By demonstrating how it is possible to pursue careful knowledge of craft, this book offers ways of teaching that allow for continuing growth and change. Book Features: An inquiry methodology that assists teachers to reflect on the classroom and develop curriculum that responds to childrens interests and needs. Specific examples of a variety of sources teachers can draw on and think about to improve practice. A method of data collection that can inform practice while allowing for the unevenness, messiness, and essential humanness of teaching and learning. Making Space for Active Learning is a collection that stands alone and gets to the heart of what we mean by learning and teaching. Each contribution reminded me of how much I miss being in the classroom and how much we're missing in current so-called school reform discourse. Keep this book handy. A chapter at a time will restore some needed sanity about what's important. Deborah Meier, author and education activist This book is a moving and powerful collection of teachers' work that holds the possibility of inspiring and changing new teachers' practice. Kathy Schultz, Dean and Professor, School of Education, Mills College This book will add significantly to the expanding and important literature about The Prospect Processes which were developed over many years at the Prospect School and Center in Vermont. The chapters, all by experienced educators, profit from the back-and-forth between inquiry and stories of classroom life, each informing the other. Brenda S. Engel, associate professor, retired, Lesley University
