Book Description

Mass customization is an emerging paradigm that is gathering a growing interest in many different industrial fields. The EUROShoE project, financed by the European Commission, explored the applicability of and developed technologies for the adoption of such a paradigm in the footwear business. The three-year research made evident the benefits that shoe companies can obtain by switching to the new business models and contributed to the development of many of the enabling technologies that adopting the new paradigm appears to have.

Mass Customization and Footwear: Myth, Salvation or Reality is the only monograph dedicated to the application of mass customization in a particular industry. Based on the outcomes of the EUROShoE project, the book is a detailed analysis of the most relevant case studies of early mass customizers in the footwear sector, highlighting reasons for their failure or success. Both the technological aspects and the business aspects of mass customization, together with some relevant economic indicators are covered in the book.

By showing examples of how a "mature" manufacturing sector like shoe making can be thoroughly renovated in business and mentality by applying this paradigm; Mass Customization and Footwear: Myth, Salvation or Reality will interest both practitioners in the footwear sector and postgraduates, researchers and lecturers in the area of mass customization.

Real stories about real people.......2000-08-02

Grace Sandness has done a remarkable job of showing the real heart of real adoptions in her work. This is a must-read for anyone considering adoption, especially if they are considering adopting a child that doesn't "match" their family, isn't the perfect child, or is no longer an infant. Adoptions are a work of heart, and the information families need involves emotions, not just statistics. Grace has the ability to get straight to the heart and soul of adoption with true stories and great insight.

From the author: Internationally adopted children come from high risk environments that differ significantly from those of children born and raised in the United States. This can impact their developmental and parenting needs. Aware adoptive parents can do many things to lessen the effects of a highly deprived early start to life and encourage optimal development. However, preconceived ideas and myths about adoption often stand in the way of parental desires to provide the best for their newly adopted child. Pediatric nurses aware of these common myths can educate and support adoptive parents in the early identification of potential concerns and in addressing and ameliorating them. Preparation, planning, and use of professional resources, as needed, can assist parents in supporting the child's development and in achieving successful integration of the internationally adopted child into their new family.

Description:
This paper consists in an attempt of synthesis in which the author, after a 35-year-long career, updates what stays the same and what changes in the field of adoption. In the changes, there are the scarcity of adoptable children who do not have special needs; in what is growing, there is the States will of control upon the process and the coming of adopted children which are ''made-to-measure'' for non-traditional families. What stays the same is the processes and selection criteria for candidates-parents; the psychological experience of the adopted child, who have to integrate the trauma of their life, reconstruct themselves with an acceptable history, lean their identity against their double settling and be welcome without excessive hopes.
