Bound in the original blue cloth, lettered in shiny silver on the spine. "A Rutgers urban studies and community health professor, Schneider is well qualified to make sense of the welter of data about how U.S. children live and die, flourish and flounder today. Throughout our history, she notes, 'the concept of childhood [has] expanded or contracted depending on the political needs of special interest groups,' but childhood was and remains 'a variable experience deeply dependent upon race, ethnicity, and family income.' As she compiles information about the health, education, and social and economic risks American children face today, Schneider goes beyond statistical averages to pursue 'differences in risk based on age, gender, race, ethnicity, and geography' and uses stories of how these abstract risks affect the lives of individual kids to bring her analysis to life. In response to deficit hawks and budget buzzards, she holds that it 'is' possible to identify the children at greatest risk and that we 'know' which programs are most likely to be cost-effective in reducing the risks they face. The real question, she argues, is not what we should do, but how much we are willing to spend to reduce the current risk levels for American children." -- Mary Carroll in BOOKLIST. First Edition. Hardcover. Fine condition/No jacket, probably as issued. 8vo. viii, 222pp. Great Packaging, Fast Shipping.…

Description de la boutique

About Books [Genny and Michael Winne, proprietors, formerly of Parsippany, New Jersey) has been selling rare and out of print books since 1985. Besides book fairs and mail order catalogue, long-time collectors and dealers will remember our lengthy For Sale ads in the Antiquarian Bookman and similar magazines. Our inventory of more than 40,000 volumes is especially strong in the specialities listed, but contains fine books in a variety of other fields as well. Because most of our books are stored in protective boxes, rather than on shelves, they cannot be viewed as a whole. If you want to examine specific titles, please provide 24 hours notice and we will make them available for your inspection. Phone calls to (702) 750-2722 are welcome, but please only between the hours of 8am and 10pm, west coast time. Our phone is a landline that cannot receive texts.…
