The book opens with a brief description of patterns of industrialization and urbanization in Latin America. The authors then shift to consider the economy of the Venezuelan Gyayana development zone, which spawned the city that bears the region's name. Industrialization and rapid urban growth have created educational complexities and opportunities, and most of Part I of the book focuses on the Ciudad Guayana's future and the schools.Part II describes the creation of a means to implement the plan developed by the authors. They recomend decentralization of decision making and planning from the capital, and the concentration of local efforts into a Guayana Center for Educational Research, Planning, and Services.Part III reviews the founding of the Center and its activities between 1966 and 1968 as well as development in the educational institutions of Ciudad Guayana, This section comments on the successes and failures of the Center's three main programs: informal education (literacy and basic education), math and science (middle-school level), and the technical education. The authors suggest where they may have gone wrong in their attempts at implementation.There are technical appendixes on the sampling scheme and the survey instrumentation, and a detailed description of the factor analysis, canonical correlation, multiple stepwise regression, and multiple discriminant analysis used in the sections offering multivariate perspectives on the barrio families and progress of children through school.

The sound of a crowded saloon...The cry of a train coming through the night...The pounding of horses ridden by friends or foe...From the searing sun to snow-steeped winters, towns called Sentinel, Iron Mountain, and St. Elmo stood strong and fierce - before they finally died. Now, these ghost towns return to life under the spell of such great Western tale-tellers as Louis L'Amour, Elmer Kelton, William W. Johnstone, Bill Brooks, Loren D. Estleman, Johnny D. Boggs, and "New York Times" bestseller Margaret Coel. From a soldier on the run from the fires of war...From a gambler who has long since played his last hand...To a solitary, singing rifle man protecting a besieged town...With dreamers and schemers, with men and women of courage, conscience, and faith, here is an unforgettable round-up of astounding adventures fuelled by a passion for the West the way it really was - and the way it lives on forever.

The play is about Richard, a young man in trouble, who cannot remember his past, and Louise, a friend, who comes to visit. "Having flirted with death, a young man has crash landed into a state mental hospital, where he sits silently in the dayroom. He has lost his sense of touch and his ability to focus his eyes and his attention. In Russell Davis's APPOINTMENT WITH A HIGHWIRE LADY, the patient ... is gradually drawn back into life by a friend from his past ... Mr Davis is subtle and unsentimental in telling a story about two people trying to find a connection that has previously eluded them. The play ... has a sensitive awareness of the renewable vitality within an interrupted relationship. In extremis, says the playwright, can come understanding." -Mel Gussow, The New York Times "There's so much good writing in Russell Davis's APPOINTMENT WITH A HIGHWIRE LADY ... During it's penultimate moment, APPOINTMENT WITH A HIGHWIRE LADY achieves a level of descriptive prose rarely seen on a stage ... all of Davis's ideas merge into an ornate tapestry and the delicacy of his weaving becomes, for the first time, apparent." -Bob Harrington, New York Post

Sally wants to leave home, as soon as possible, for art school in New York. Her mother seems increasingly distracted, or absent, and her younger brother, Christopher, is no help. Her successful father may or may not be involved with a younger woman at work. After Sally has a confrontation with her father, her mother suddenly disappears in the middle of the night. The play is about the last two weeks in the life of a perfect American family. But as this family unravels, as words and longings are misunderstood, and things fall apart, a larger spirit in each of these characters begins to show signs of life. "I first encountered the work of playwright Russell Davis ... at the world premier of his FURTHER ADVENTURES OF SALLY ... I found myself hanging on every word and admiring Davis's singular communicatory skills more with each passing moment ... amusing us more than a little en route with a verbal wizardry that warms and delights. Davis at the same time painlessly imparts a deeper universal meaning having to do with personal signposts lost and regained ..." -Nels Nelson, Daily News

Sally's Gone, She Left Her Name

Taming Medusa reveals a shocking truth: most of the problems in California homeowner associations (HOAs) are caused by a failure to understand and implement the correct model for organization and operation. The correct model is a business approach, not a government approach. Taming Medusa explains why HOAs are not neighborhood private governments, but medium to large private businesses, instead. The California Legislature established common interest developments and mutual benefit corporations to protect, preserve and promote property values, and to provide goods and services to association members. These goals are in the interests of everyone, including: homeowners, mortgage holders and municipalities. They are achieved by running HOAs as the private businesses they are and enforcing use restrictions and architectural standards that protect private property and commonly owned assets from the Tragedy of the Commons. Taming Medusa reveals the pitfalls of running HOAs as if they were municipalities. It also shows people how to set up and operate an HOA so the returns on their investments (i.e., their homes) can be maximized.

Take a Leap of Faith and Start a Photography Business A Beginner’s Guide to Starting a Successful Business as a Photographer This book will guide you in starting your own photography business; it’s truly an advantage if you are a photographer by profession, but if not, it doesn’t mean that you could not open your own business. I can help you get the ball rolling. Despite the fact that people now own smart phones with great cameras, nothing can beat the skill of a professional photographer – they just know the nuts and bolts of taking photos, editing, and printing. They know about the correct angle, the right amount of light, and even the appropriate gesture and expression. These are just some of the reasons why I’d personally hire a photographer for special events rather than let every guest or participant take their own photos. Photography services are just more organized, more effective, and they give better-looking images that you can proudly post online. Collectively, this is the reason why a photography business is in demand. I know that starting a photography business – any business, in fact – is not a walk in the park. It’s also not roses and rainbows; there will be difficulties along the way and maybe at one point you might even think of quitting. Lower your chances of being discouraged by being equipped – one way to do that is to read, savor, and finish this book. Here are a Few Things You Will Learn From This Book: <ul>
<li>The 4 main markets you should choose from in starting a photography business</li>
<li>A list of the investments you should make, including tips and tricks; this includes camera, lighting, backdrops, etc.</li>
