This book has been translated, adapted, and extended from a Norwegian bestseller. It provides a fascinating insight into all aspects of the behaviour of domestic cats. Its accessible and informative style means it is applicable to cat owners, students, biologists, veterinarians, animal nurses and technicians, and others working with cats or wanting to learn more about them. The depth of knowledge provided will enhance cat welfare. Learn about feline behaviour throughout a cat's lifespan, and our role in helping kittens develop into happy, well-balanced adult cats. Read about cat communication, their social interactions, free-roaming and hunting behaviour, and differences in personality types and breeds. Recognize behavioural problems and how to prevent or deal with them to enhance a cat's welfare based on insights into learning theory, emotions and motivations. Learn more about who cat owners are, why and how we keep cats, and how cats can benefit our own mental and physical health. See videos and beautiful colour photographs that complement the explanations in the text. By enriching our understanding of the emotional and behavioural needs of cats, their motivations for pleasure and relaxation, and what stresses them, the reader gains the essential information needed to promote the well-being of cats and their caretakers.

This title was first published in 2001. Detailed interviews with activists and case studies of decision-making bodies show how different membership groups exploit equal opportunities strategies to facilitate or impede women. These case studies expose the conundrum of understanding women as a differentiated but distinct membership group. They illustrate why women activists need to be understood in their diverse and multiple roles of being low paid workers, black women, lesbians and members of political parties, but also demonstrate that women are most empowered when treated as an oppressed social group.

Across the country, communities rely on their planning commissions for guidance. But who guides the planning commissioners? This step-by-step guidebook gets new commissioners off on the right foot and helps experienced commission members navigate their roles. The authors, all practicing planners, have worked extensively with planning commissions for decades. They have watched commissioners scramble up a steep learning curve, sit in the hot seat of controversy, and strive to make sound decisions for the places they call home.In this helpful handbook, the authors share ideas, insights, and information to help commissioners succeed. Eight detailed chapters cover everything from the nuts and bolts of development applications to the nuances of legal issues to the part commissioners play in long-range planning. Readers will learn how to prepare for their first commission meeting, review a development plan, invite productive public input, and steer clear of ethical dilemmas. Added resources include a glossary of planning terms, a list of training resources, and the American Planning Association’s Statement of Ethical Principles in Planning. For anyone serving on a planning commission, The Planning Commissioners Guide is essential reading.
