Art Sparks

From the reviews:"The practical recommendations offered by Perrin will make her book valuable not only to pediatricians, but also to professionals who evaluate medical school curriculums and supervise residents. Sexual Orientation in Child and Adolescent Health Care will surely help health care professionals to embrace their homosexual patients and families and will educate those who have been unaware of the needs and experiences of a small, but nonetheless important, segment of the population." (New England Journal of Medicine, 348:6, February 2003) "In its writing, Perrin beautifully exemplifies the pediatrician engaged in matters of social justice[...] In general, the book is well written, easy to read, and ambitious in its scope. It will be a useful resource for medical students, residents, and clinicians looking for a practical synopsis of an ever-expanding body of information."(Gary Remafedi, MD, MPH, University of Minnesota in Archives of Pediatrics and Adolescent Medicine, 157, March 2003) "This is a well researched and written book and I recommend it to clinicians who care for children, young people and their families, as well as for medical educators who can influence curricula."(Professor Doris Young, University of Melbourne, VIC in Australian Family Physician, 32:1/2, Jan/Feb 2003)"Her book comprehensively documents the current deficiencies in the field, integrates research within clinical observations, and offers incisive theoretical and practical suggestions to aid pediatric health care professionals in serving the needs of their young homosexual patients, as well as the needs of children of gay or lesbian parents[....] The practical recommendations offered by Perrin will make her book valuable not only to pediatricians, but also to professionals who evaluate medical school curriculums and supervise residents."(Esther D. Rothblum, Ph.D., University of Vermont in New England Journal of Medicine, 348:6, February 2003)

Sexual Orientation in Child and Adolescent Health Care

"In this time of dire consequences attributed to the effects of climate change, Addressing Climate Change at the Community Level and its contributors offer us a shred of hope in this compendium of essays about communities and their actions to becoming more resilient and adaptive. The reader is also offered other ways of thinking about ‘community’— we are more than just the places we come from and our survival on this planet depends on that notion." -Mark Apel, Area Agent for Community Resource Development, University of Arizona Cooperative Extension
"By focusing on community and the lived experience of climate change, this book advances a compelling portfolio of ways people are working together against what are too often portrayed as insurmountable challenges. Kudos to a stellar group of authors for a refreshing view into what is possible." -Courtney Flint, Professor of Natural Resource Sociology, Utah State University

"In a refreshing approach, rather than staking out strident political positions, this book focuses on the real climate change issues communities face. Locally-relevant, scientifically-based, and action-oriented, the authors share outstanding approaches and innovative ideas for understanding, strategizing, and acting on climate change challenges. Most importantly, we learn how to authentically engage communities of interest and place in developing practices that promote resiliency and sustainability. It’s a must read for community development practitioners." -Greg Wise, Emeritus Professor of Community Development, University of Wisconsin Extension 
"A much-needed handbook for those working in the field of community development. This is a highly accessible text for practitioners, scholars and policy makers alike as they support vulnerable communities to prepare for the challenges that climate change is already bringing and which will become ever more taxing. Please read this excellent book to help you prepare." -Charlie McConnell, Past President International Association for Community Development
"Climate change has increasing implications for human well-being. In order to better understand responses to climate change, it is important to understand that people experience life and act in contexts structured by their communities. This book takes a broad approach to community, considering communities of geographic place and also communities of practice, interest, and identity. By examining various topics and cases in each of these types of communities, the book makes an important contribution to our understanding of human responses and community approaches to climate change." -Jennifer E. Givens, PhD, Assistant Professor of Sociology, Utah State University

"In the early 1960s, starving refugees from Dongguan County in southern Guangdong were risking their lives to escape to nearby Hong Kong. In the three decades since 1980 Yantian, a Guangdong village, grew from a small agricultural brigade to a thriving modern community with 80,000 people producing goods for the world. Tony Saich and Biliang Hu explain how the economy, society, and governing structures have developed during the changes." Ezra F. Vogel, Henry Ford II Professor of the Social Sciences Emeritus, Harvard University

"Chinese Village, Global Market: New Collectives and Rural Development is a fascinating study of the transformation of a rural village into one of China's major industrial and export centers. The innovation that made this transformation possible occurred through the interaction of local leadership with both the central government and the globalizing world economy. The policies of the central government that facilitated this transformation are well known. Far less well known is how so many of the initiatives actually originated with local people, initiatives that affected not only the economy, but also how society is governed at the local level and how public goods from education to health care are provided." Dwight H. Perkins, Harold Hitchings Burbank Research Professor of Political Economy, Harvard University
