Paperback. Condition: New. The significant feature of homelessness in Europe over the past 25 years has been its persistence. Traditional policies have increasingly been found wanting in the light of the changed economic and demographic circumstances of the last quarter of the 20th century. A reappraisal of the nature of European homelessness by academics and practitioners demonstrates the need for the development of innovatory policies and practice that take account of these changed circumstances and explicitly address the current needs of Europe's homeless people.This highly topical report provides a synthesis of reported developments in innovative service provision for homeless people in the member countries of the European Union. Setting their arguments within a context of changing welfare provision and welfare/housing regimes, the authors reappraise the nature of homelessness and its causes, chart the main dimensions of the composition of homeless populations and of policy instruments and examine in detail the nature and diversity of emerging innovative practices in the provision of services to the homeless of Europe. Select examples of innovative services for homeless people are provided in the comprehensive Appendix to the report.The report draws on the 1998 national reports of the 15 correspondents of the European Observatory on Homelessness who conduct research on behalf of FEANTSA (the European Federation of National Organisations working with the Homeless). It provides a genuinely comprehensive coverage of EU member states and should stimulate debate regarding housing policy issues across Europe and encourage transnational cooperation between non-governmental organisations as well as act as a stimulus for further research.In bringing together a wealth of material on policy and practice throughout Europe the report adds considerably to our knowledge of the dynamics of European homelessness and housing policy. Services for homeless people is therefore important reading for academics across Europe, practitioners in non-governmental organisations dealing with the homeless, housing agencies and government departments, and students of comparative housing studies.The research of the European Observatory on Homelessness is supported financially by DG V of the European Commission.…

Illustrated with two sections of black-and-white photographic plates and preliminary page map. "A taste of The Miracle of Castel di Sangro. Italy is composed of twenty regions. Some are legendary, others extremely popular with foreign tourists, and still more, though not as well know to outsiders, prized by the Italians themselves. And then there is the Abruzzo. Frommer's 1996 guide to Italy describes it as "one of the poorest and least visited regions" in the country. "Arid and sunscorched.prone to frequent earthquakes, the Abruzzo is.impoverished and visually stark." It is a region, says another guidebook, "in which there is little of interest to see and even less to do." This reputation was not acquired overnight. Nathaniel Hawthorne visited in the nineteenth century and wrote even then that the region was "without enough of life and juiciness to be any longer susceptible of decay. An earthquake would afford it the only chance of ruin, beyond its present ruin." And that was in season." - from the rear outer jacket. "In the summer of 1996, Joe McGinniss, the author of such non-fiction bestsellers as The Selling of the President, Fatal Vision, Blind Faith, and The Last Brother, set out for the remote Italian village of Castel di Sangro, located deep within the forbidding and isolated region of the Abruzzo. His goal was to spend a season with the village soccer team, which only weeks before had accomplished the feat - hailed throughout Italy as a "miracle" - of winning promotion to the second-highest professional league in the land. Though Castel di Sangro had only five thousand inhabitants, its team would now compete against those from such cities as Genoa, Turin, Padua, and Venice in a fight to keep its miracle alive. Almost immediately Joe McGinniss was embrioled in a small-town drama that had less to do with a game played by men kicking a ball than with hope, fear, love, loss, and almost unbearable suspense. He found himself, like everyone in the town, bursting with affection and anxiety for this quixotic and boisterous band of young Italian athletes. Through victories. losses, scandals, deaths, and hard lessons in the Italian way of sport, he found a story whose depth and power stunned him. This book is his account of that year, a masterpiece of storytelling that transcends its particulars to embrace universal emotions. Written with passion, tenderness, and humor - plus an appreciation for the absurd - The Miracle of Castel di Sangro is an unforgettable portrait of Italy's people, its towns and cities, and its complicated, irrepressible spirit." - from the inner front and rear jacket flaps.
