Community development, planning and partnerships have become important
terms in health promotion, but, up until now, debate around these
concepts has happened more in planning science than in public health
literature. Roar Amdam draws on theories and new empirical evidence from
local, regional and international planning and public health in order
to develop a new model for health promotion: empowerment planning.
Much health promotion planning has focused on top-down approaches, and,
while efforts to be participative are made, it is often without having a
clear understanding of how community empowerment can be accommodated
within health promotion programmes. Amdam’s innovative concept combines
top-down and bottom-up approaches to enable people to take more
responsibility for their own health and for individual and collective
capacity building.
Planning in Health Promotion Workis suitable for all students and
researchers of health promotion and health planning and development,
and the numerous applied examples make it an invaluable resource for
policy-makers and practitioners working in public health.
Up and Running with AutoCAD 2012, Second Edition: 2D and 3D Drawing and Modeling
Gindis introduces AutoCAD with step by step instructions, stripping away complexities to begin working in AutoCAD immediately. All concepts are explained first in theory, and then shown in practice, helping the reader understand what it is they are doing and why, before they do it. Divided into three parts, the book covers beginning through advanced AutoCAD, including 3D features. Also included is an extensive Appendix for each part, detailing additional useful CAD-related information not often found in other text books The book contains supporting graphics (screen shots) and a summary with a self-test section at the end of each chapter. Also included are drawing examples and exercises, and two running "projects" that the student works on as he/she progresses through the chapters . 1) Strips away complexities, both real and perceived and reduces AutoCAD to easy-to-understand basic concepts. 2) Teaches only what is essential to operating AutoCAD first, thereby immediately building student confidence. 3) All basic commands are documented step-by-step, meaning that what the student needs to type in and how AutoCAD responds is all spelled out in discrete and clear steps with screen shots added as needed. 4) Using the author's extensive multi-industry knowledge of what is important and widely used in practice versus what is not, the material is presented by immediately immersing the student in practical, critically essential knowledge, with no padding of text or filler material. 5) All concepts are explained first in theory, and only then is AutoCAD introduced and the actual "button pushing" discussed. This is one of the key concepts in having students understand exactly what it is they are doing and why, before they do it.

Keinginan besar untuk dapat lepasnya rantai belenggu penjajahan, hanya bisa didapatkan dengan diterapkannya sistem yang anti penghisapan manusia oleh manusia yang lain. Menuju Indonesia merdeka yang benar-benar merdeka 100% hanya dapat dilakukan dengan kebulatan tekad, kuatnya semangat, keberanian dan ketabahan sikap yang harus dimiliki oleh seorang pejuang. Tan Malaka pemikir besar sekaligus pejuang patriotik yang pernah dimiliki bangsa Indonesia menegaskannya dalam panduan untuk mencapai dan memelopori semua itu yang secara konkrit dituangkannya dalam program aksi yang nyata.
Tan Malaka diakui sebagai tokoh ilmu kemiliteran di Indonesia oleh Jenderal Besar TNI. AH, Nasution (Anumerta). Sumbangsihnya dalam mengabdikan hidupnya untuk kemerdekaan dan kesejahteraan Indonesia dari suatu bangsa yang terjajah baik secara mental selama berabad-abad maupun secara fisik oleh kolonialisme menuju suatu bangsa yang merdeka terlalu naif untuk kita kesampingkan. Tokoh besar dari ranah Minang Sumatera ini berjasa besar dalam perjuangan kemerdekaan RI.
Bahan kajian yang akan memperkaya kita mengenai strategi perjuangan untuk mencapai kemerdekaan ini merupakan karya besar seorang pejuang sekaligus pemikir yang pernah di miliki bangsa Indonesia. Pemikiran ini seputar keterjajahan bangsa Indonesia dan konsepsi-konsepsi dari Persatuan Perjuangan yang di lakukan di Solo dan Purwokerto pada Januari 1946. Buku ini memberikan teori dan pedoman gerak yang sangat berharga untuk bangsa Indonesia.
Anasir-anasir seputar strategi dan taktik untuk dapat mewujudkan kemerdekaan 100% yang dapat dimiliki oleh bangsa Indonesai disajikan dalam buku ini dengan sangat sistematis di tengah situasi jaman yang berserak disorder saat itu.
Untuk mencapai Indonesia merdeka bukan saja dibutuhkan kecerdasan analisa, tetapi juga dibutuhkan adanya kemampuan yang handal dalam mengusai tekik dan strategi untuk dapat menjadi pemenang dalam sebuah pertempuran. Buku ini menjadi satu kitab yang mampu menjadi obat sekaligus panduan dalam usaha mewujudkan kejayaan, kedaulatan keadilan dan kemakmuran di Indonesia.
Mewujudkan cita-cita kedaulatan, kemerdekaan keadilan dan kemakmuran Indonesia bukan hal yang mudah. Kendati demikian, Tan Malaka mengajarkan seorang pejuang haruslah memiliki watak ketabahan berjuang. Ketabahan berjuang lebih unggul dari keberanian seseorang. Bukan saja seorang pejuang harus tahu dan jeli membaca situsi serta peta pertempuran yang ada, melainkan juga harus mampu merumuskan strategi aksi juga program aksi yang konkrit sekaligus sikap disiplin guna meraih kemenangan gemilang atas perjuangan.
Tan Malaka seorang pejuang patriotik yang pernah dimiliki Indonesia. Meski keberpihakannya jauh melebihi batas wilayah negaranya. Kejelian membaca anasir pertempuran disajikan dalam sebuah panduan bagaimana memenangkan suatu pertempuran menggunakan kerangka aksi serta program aksi yang nyata. Hal ini pantas untuk digemakan terlebih dalam situasi Indonsia yang tertidur, politik tanpa visi juga lambannya ritme kemajuan yang diperlihatkan. Dalam situasi seperti itu sangat penting arti kehadiran pejuang-pejuang baru bagi masyarakatnya yang mampu menjadi suluh bagi jiwa-jiwa yang terbelenggu. Jiwa-jiwa yang kalah oleh keadaan. Jangan kalah oleh keadaan yang memaksa tak memiliki pilihan. Buku ini menawarkan strategi dan taktik memenangkan sebuah pertempuran. Selamat membaca
This is the first textbook to focus on environmental threats to child health. It will interest professionals and graduate students in public health, pediatrics, environmental health, epidemiology, and toxicology. The first three chapters provide overviews of key children's environmental health issues as well as the role of environmental epidemiology and risk assessment in child health protection. Overarching themes are the susceptibility of the rapidly developing fetus and infant to environmental toxicants, the importance of modifying factors(e.g. poverty, genetic traits, nutrition), the role of health outcome and exposure monitoring, uncertainties surrounding environmental exposure limits, and the importance of timely intervention.
Later chapters address the health effects of metals, PCBs, dioxins, pesticides, hormonally active agents, radiation, indoor and outdoor air pollution, and water contaminants. In analyzing potential environmental hazards, the author addresses both biologic and epidemiologic evidence, including the likelihood of causal relationships. Among the health outcomes he discusses are developmental, reproductive, and neurobehavioral effects, respiratory disease, cancer, and waterborne infectious diseases. These discussions cover environmental exposure sources/indicators, interventions, and standards, and conclude with a summary of calls for an improved science base to guide public health decisions and protect child health.
When the NSA's invincible code-breaking machine - encounters a mysterious code it cannot break, the agency calls in its head cryptographer, Susan Fletcher, a brilliant and beautiful mathematician. What she uncovers sends shock waves through the corridors of power. The NSA is being held hostage...not by guns or bombs, but by a code so ingeniously complex that if released it will cripple U.S. intelligence.
In most thrillers, "hardware" consists of big guns, airplanes, military vehicles, and weapons that make things explode. Dan Brown has written a thriller for those of us who like our hardware with disc drives and who rate our heroes by big brainpower rather than big firepower. It's an Internet user's spy novel where the good guys and bad guys struggle over secrets somewhat more intellectual than just where the secret formula is hidden--they have to gain understanding of what the secret formula actually is. In this case, the secret formula is a new means of encryption, capable of changing the balance of international power. Part of the fun is that the book takes the reader along into an understanding of encryption technologies. You'll find yourself better understanding the political battles over such real-life technologies as the Clipper Chip and PGP (Pretty Good Privacy) software even though the book looks at the issues through the eyes of fiction. Although there's enough globehopping in this book for James Bond, the real battleground is cyberspace, because that's where the "bomb" (or rather, the new encryption algorithm) will explode. Yes, there are a few flaws in the plot if you look too closely, but the cleverness and the sheer fun of it all more than make up for them. There are enough twists and turns to keep you guessing and a lot of high, gee-whiz-level information about encryption, code breaking, and the role they play in international politics. Set aside the whole afternoon and evening for it and have finger food on hand for supper--you may want to read this one straight through.

In this astonishing true story, award-winning journalist Sonia Nazario recounts the unforgettable odyssey of a Honduran boy who braves unimaginable hardship and peril to reach his mother in the United States. When Enrique is five years old, his mother, Lourdes, too poor to feed her children, leaves Honduras to work in the United States. The move allows her to send money back home to Enrique so he can eat better and go to school past the third grade.Lourdes promises Enrique she will return quickly. But she struggles in America. Years pass. He begs for his mother to come back. Without her, he becomes lonely and troubled. When she calls, Lourdes tells him to be patient. Enrique despairs of ever seeing her again. After eleven years apart, he decides he will go find her.Enrique sets off alone from Tegucigalpa, with little more than a slip of paper bearing his mother’s North Carolina telephone number. Without money, he will make the dangerous and illegal trek up the length of Mexico the only way he can–clinging to the sides and tops of freight trains.With gritty determination and a deep longing to be by his mother’s side, Enrique travels through hostile, unknown worlds. Each step of the way through Mexico, he and other migrants, many of them children, are hunted like animals. Gangsters control the tops of the trains. Bandits rob and kill migrants up and down the tracks. Corrupt cops all along the route are out to fleece and deport them. To evade Mexican police and immigration authorities, they must jump onto and off the moving boxcars they call El Tren de la Muerte–The Train of Death. Enrique pushes forward using his wit, courage, and hope–and the kindness of strangers. It is an epic journey, one thousands of immigrant children make each year to find their mothers in the United States.Based on the Los Angeles Times newspaper series that won two Pulitzer Prizes, one for feature writing and another for feature photography, Enrique’s Journey is the timeless story of families torn apart, the yearning to be together again, and a boy who will risk his life to find the mother he loves.

"Taking us from Afghanistan in the final days of the monarchy to the present, The Kite Runner is the unforgettable, beautifully told story of the friendship between two boys growing up in Kabul. Raised in the same household and sharing the same wet nurse, Amir and Hassan nonetheless grow up in different worlds: Amir is the son of a prominent and wealthy man, while Hassan , the son of Amir's father's servant, is a Hazara, member of a shunned ethnic minority. Their intertwined lives, and their fates, reflect the eventual tragedy of the world around them. When the Soviets invade and Amir and his father flee the country for a new life in California, Amir thinks that he has escaped his past. And yet he cannot leave the memory of Hassan behind him. The Kite Runner is a novel about friendship, betrayal, and the price of loyalty. It is about the bonds between fathers and sons, and the power of their lies. Written against a history that has not been told in fiction before, The Kite Runner describes the rich culture and beauty of a land in the process of being destroyed. But with the devastation, Khaled Hosseini also gives us hope: through the novel's faith in the power of reading and storytelling, and in the possibilities he shows for redemption."

"Penulis novel ini berhasil menggambarkan latar (setting) sosial-budaya Timur Tengah dengan sangat hidup tanpa harus memakai istilah-istilah Arab. Bahasanya yang mengalir, karakterisasi tokoh-tokohnya yang begitu kuat, dan gambaran latarnya yang begitu hidup, membuat kisah dalam novel ini terasa benar-benar terjadi. Ini contoh novel karya penulis muda yang sangat bagus!"
AHMADUN YOSI HERFANDA
Sastrawan dan Redaktur Budaya Republika
"Jarang ada buku seperti ini. Saya tidak yakin akan ada novel serupa dari penulis muda Indonesia lainnya saat ini bahkan mungkin hingga beberapa puluh tahun ke depan. Begitu menyentuh. Begitu dalam. Dan begitu dewasa!"
MOHAMMAD FAUZIL ADHIM
Psikolog dan Penulis Buku-buku Best Seller
"Jika Naguib Mahfuz menulis Mesir dari pandangan orang Mesir, maka Mesir kali ini ditulis dalam pandangan orang Indonesia. Novel ini ditulis oleh orang Indonesia yang paham betul seluk-beluk negeri itu, hingga ke detail-detail yang paling kecil. Ia hidup, berbaur dan berinteraksi dalam kehidupan sehari-hari lalu menyerap spirit dan pengetahuan darinya, dan dituangkan dengan sepenuh hati dalam bentuk novel kaya. Ditulis dengan bahasa yang lancar, dengan tokoh-tokoh yang 'hidup' dan berkelebatan dalam berbagai karakter. Membaca novel ini seperti membuka cermin cakrawala yang terbuka..."
JONI ARIADINATA
Cerpenis, Redaktur Jurnal Cerpen Indonesia
"Novel yang tidak klise dan tak terduga pada setiap babnya. Habiburrahman El Shirazy dengan sangat meyakinkan mengajak kita menyelusuri lekuk Mesir yang eksotis itu, tanpa lelah. Tak sampai di situ, Ayat Ayat Cinta mengajak kita untuk lebih jernih, lebih cerdas dalam memahami cakrawala keislaman, kehidupan dan juga cinta."
HELVY TIANA ROSA
Ketua Umum Forum Lingkar Pena
"Membaca Ayat Ayat Cinta ini membuat angan kita melayang-layang ke negeri seribu menara dan merasakan 'pelangi' akhlak yang menghiasi pesona-pesonanya. Sungguh sebuah cerita yang layak dibaca dan disosialisasikan pada para pemburu bacaan popular yang sudah tidak mengindahkan akhlak sebagai menu utamanya, agar dunia bacaan kita terhiasi karya-karya yang 'membangun'."
RATIH SANGARWATI
Artis dan Peragawati
"Membaca novel ini, nutrisi cinta seakan mengalir memenuhi jiwa. Dan pikiran kiat terpenuhi oleh berbagai pengetahuan dan wawasan. Inilah karya fiksi yang tidak 'mengelabui'. Bagus sekali."
ANNA R. NAWANING
Cerpenis dan Penulis Sastra Islami
"Sangat romantis dan humanis! Novel ini saya rasakan begitu kuat dalam ajaran, perasaan, dan penokohannya. Luar biasa, hati saya gerimis selesai membacanya!"
