Book Description
Services are key activities in a globalized economy and they also underlie the quality of life of local residents. The advanced work presented in this book was selected from the proceedings of the Third International Conference on Serviceology (ICServ2015), held July 7–9, 2015, in San Jose, CA, USA. The conference was supported by the Society for Serviceology. The society was established in 2012 in Japan to explore the scientific systematization of services and to promote technological developments for solutions to industrial issues. This book provides a useful general guide to the state of the art in the theory and practice of services. It can also serve as a valuable reference book for researchers in a wide range of fields from engineering to marketing and economics.

Book Description
For Waldorf's first 100 year anniversary in 2019, we might ask, what might Waldorf K-12 education look like in 2119, for it's 200th birthday?"Team Human," Douglas Rushkoff's meme, could be a good focus for Waldorf's future as well. What should stay as is? What can be improved? Can a more authentic USA version of Waldorf emerge? How? These volumes put a large fraction of the issues "on the table" for local conversations. This project intends to complement the Waldorf100 film. One of several positive themes proposed is: Team Human K-12 education. In 2016 Douglas Rushkoff proposed humanity as a team sport; everyone is on Team Human--tho not everyone recognizes-acknowledges this yet. "Team Human" is a healthy response to Faustian, dystopian "Team Machine" (programming people to conform to technology). Check out Doug's podcast http://TeamHuman.fmFrom multiple angles, Team Human can be used to refresh Waldorf schools as "seedbeds of social-cultural innovation." How can we engage NEW generations to innovate socially and culturally? How will they create another 2,000 practical prototype alternatives to dystopia? I found some answers. See if you agree--or disagree :) Can Waldorf evolve in the next 100 years? How exactly? How an authentic USA Waldorf did not yet evolve--and could--is discussed.Also written for BOTH private-independent and public charter Waldorf teachers and trainees. Whole project is organized around What is "real work"?- What is "real work" for children on their journey thru the Land of Childhood?,- What is "real work" for adults who will teach children in the Land of Childhood--before and after puberty?- What is "real work" for parents? - What is "real work" for everyone, at a K-12 community center towards a Team Human positive future?The endgame? Grade 12 graduates who are: - Emotionally Intelligent, - self-propelled problem-solvers, and - cooperative-collaborative, willing and able to play on a team or lead a team.Read as much or as little as you like. Five short volumes of 125-150 pages each, are divided over four SECTIONS:SECTION 1 ~ Theme of Team Human K-12 ed. Couple introductions. "What is Real work for Children?" Lays out the 100-year-old wisdom of Sensitive Periods and how our Outer Game of Life as a child, becomes our Inner Adult Game of Life. SECTION 2 ~ "What is Real work for Teachers and trainees?" Annotated short history of childhood. Annotated short summaries of Emotional Intelligence (EQ) and related Best Progressive K-12 Practices from outside the 'Classic Waldorf box.'SECTION 3 ~ What is Real work for Parents and Everyone at a school? "Classic Waldorf is primarily characterized by its metaphors," builds out the UNESCO characterization in full. Waldorf metaphors universally useful. Metaphors only useful to "parochial" Anthroposophic schools. School as a person. School as a Commons. WHO do we graduate? Conclusions. Three ways to re-brand Waldorf for teh coming 100 years. SECTION 4 ~ Three ways to re-brand Waldorf, solutions for the coming next 100 years. = = = =Author, Health Intuitive, Bruce Dickson online:http://www.Amazon.com/Bruce-Dickson-MSS/e/B007SNVG46

Book Description
More than half of all children in industrialised countries live in urban areas, and the same will be true in the developing world in the near future. Yet, by almost all indicators, cities are failing to meet the needs of young people, prejudicing their chances as adults. Written by a team of experts from the fields of urban planning, architecture, geography, anthropology, psychology and environmental education, this book analyses the results of a UNESCO project which looks at the effects on young people of their urban surroundings, based on case studies from eight countries (including Australia, India, South Africa, the UK and the USA). This study places a new emphasis on the active participation of young people in the planning, design and implementation of urban improvements, and recommends policies and practices that will make cities more responsive to the needs of children, adolescents and their families.

Book Description
Global population growth is putting our children and grandchildren at risk. Living a Sustainable Lifestyle for Our Children's Children shows how sustainable development is a process of living that cuts across many of the major concerns facing society today and establishes how we can move beyond these present risks. It presents an easy to understand description of sustainability, where humans find the means to coexist in a manner that maintains biodiversity, wildlands, and decent environments while also achieving economic prosperity and equality, present and future. The book challenges people to transform their awareness of human-nature interactions into a deeper commitment to both protecting and wisely using our global natural resources. Going beyond science, technology, and politics, this book discusses how we live and why we live the way we do, while addressing the basics of life: how to know what is in our water, air, food, and land. The good news is, a shift to sustainable development is occurring. Ordinary people living ordinary lives, looking at how they live, how that in turn affects nature, and how fundamental nature is to our existence, is the beginning. And, this book poses tough questions, not for another debate, but to initiate reader awareness, understanding, and motion. We hope to advance understanding of what people can do differently to alter the surging tide of material inequity and declining resources by offering numerous alternatives for the individual considering their ability to make a difference.
