Housing by nature is multi-faceted. It consumes natural resources and produces impact on the natural environment during its lifetime. It consitutes a major economic activity and has significant impact on the general economy. It is an important component of social development and quality of life. Therefore if we want to understand housing in its totality, we need to take a more holistic perspective, akin to that advocated by the sustainable development concepts. Sustainable Housing Development aims to construct a new model of housing analysis capable of investigating housing issues in the sustainable development perspective. It argues that such a model integrates the environmental, economic and socio-cultural dimensions of housing, while recognizing and discerning the political forces underpinning their developments. The book draws on examples and case studies from the Asia Pacific, Europe and the USA to furnish the model and to illustrate and test the validity, practicability and theanalytical power of this new theoretical construct. This book will be of interest to students, academics, practitioners and policy makers in the fields of housing, planning, environmental studies, urban studies and social policy. - 146.04

One of America's most respected weight loss experts presents the proven, behavioral approach to lifestyle change that has helped tens of thousands of people attain their best weight. Obesity remains a national epidemic, with more than 136 million American adults and children deemed overweight (US. News & World Report). A nearly endless parade of fad diets has done little to change this picture. Now renowned clinical psychologist Dr. Gerard Musante, founder and director of Structure House, a residential weight loss facility in Durham, North Carolina, shares the secrets of his successful, psychology-based weight loss program. Unlike diets that focus on what or how much to eat, Dr. Musante's Structure House Weight Loss Plan helps readers understand and address the truly central issue: their all-important relationship with food. From Getting Structured to Being Structured and Staying Structured; this proactive plan equips readers with a powerful toolbox of behavioral strategies to understand their dysfunctional eating patterns (such as habit, boredom, or stressdriven eating) while simultaneously developing personal resources and coping strategies for lasting weight loss. With specific food guidelines for daily environments (from the kitchen to the workplace to restaurants) and supportive approaches for dealing with emotions (from guilt to anxiety to stress), this book is exactly what readers need to tip the scales in their favor. - 16.31
