Que valga la pena llega donde los demás libros de este tipo no se atreven a llegar: plantea preguntas de fondo sobre lo que hace que una vida sea verdaderamente feliz. Anna Moreland y Thomas Smith han dedicado décadas a escuchar a sus estudiantes y han identificado los deseos más profundos de los jóvenes. Tras la búsqueda de una carrera lucrativa hay un anhelo por un trabajo significativo; tras el tiempo que le dedican a las redes sociales y a los videojuegos hay un anhelo más profundo de intimidad; y bajo el afán de productividad hay un deseo de recuperar el tiempo libre que les ha sido arrebatado. Este libro está diseñado para ayudar a que los jóvenes entren en contacto con sus deseos más hondos. Ofrece estrategias prácticas para cultivar mejores hábitos y ayuda al lector a redescubrir las actividades y pasiones de su infancia. El libro incorpora las voces de jóvenes que han logrado superar con éxito las dificultades de esta época. Estas voces son modelos de esperanza en tiempos inciertos y sirven como una guía clara para atravesar retos sin precedentes. Los ejercicios de reflexión a lo largo de los capítulos ayudarán al lector a adaptar las estrategias a su propia vida. Son muchos los libros que diagnostican los males de esta era digital, pero pocos los que ofrecen una salida ante estos desafíos. Moreland y Smith, profesores atentos y comprometidos, han dedicado décadas a rescatar a sus estudiantes de este paisaje empobrecido. Con este libro quieren llegar también a los estudiantes a los que no han tenido el privilegio de enseñar.
Underemployment Among Asians in the United States
Contrary to the stereotype which depicts them as economic successes, Asian workers have a high incidence of underemployment when compared to white workers. This book integrates immigration and labor market trends into an analysis of the economic assimilation of Asians in the U.S. It examines four forms of underemployment (unemployment, part-time employment, working poverty, and job mismatch) for Asian Indian, Filipino, and Vietnamese men and women. This study shows that Asian underemployment rates are consistently higher than for non-Hispanic whites, with Asian Indians having the highest rate. Each Asian group displayed varied effects of human capital, family and household, industry, and assimilation variables on the different underemployment categories. Important implications of the findings show that ethnic group variation in underemployment appears stronger than differences by gender. (Ph.D. dissertation, Pennsylvania State University, 1994; revised with new preface and index)

"The overarching message of Multicultural Education: Teaching and Learning in the Global Village is that knowledge comes from many different sources, and future educators must engage with diverse writing styles, methodological approaches, and cultures to prepare for the diversity they will encounter in their classrooms. The book uses a variety of voices and materials ranging from the scientific to the popular and the conventional to the provocative, to promote classroom discussion and serve as writing prompts on issues related to diversity. Students develop mental flexibility and critical thinking skills through exposure to different opinions, perspectives, and sources of information. To enhance exposure to ideas outside the mainstream, the book includes works by unknown authors and stories from faraway places. Multicultural Education: Teaching and Learning in the Global Village demonstrates that the best way to study diversity is through a global, interdisciplinary framework rather than a traditional textbook approach. The book is well suited to courses on diversity and multiculturalism, and classes on teaching methods for pre-service teachers. Anna B. Wolford is a lecturer at the University of Central Florida where she teaches global and cultural studies. She earned her Ph.D. in international and comparative education and her M.Ed. in educational psychology at the University of Toronto. Her recent publications include Globalization: Our World is No Longer Black and White and various articles."
