There are approximately 8000 camps in the U.S., & this is the only complete listing of the 2,000 camps which have earned American Camping Association accreditation by meeting over 300 standards that apply to health, safety, program quality & operating practices. The Guide, published annually, features special indexes that allow a parent to find a camp by activity, special need, special group or location. The American Camping Association has been setting standards for camps since 1935 & has been accrediting camps since 1965. It is the recognized voice of camps in the United States. This directory will play a prominent part in an intensive public relations campaign to promote the camping experience beginning in February 1997.

The book discusses the implications of globalization on education from the perspective of social justice. It looks at two countries — India and the UK — to look at how global economic and cultural processes are mediated through nation states, institutional structures and the aspirations of different social groups. It seeks to resituate the debates around education and social justice in policy, research and public discourse by highlighting the need for a more nuanced understanding of globalization and education. It also demonstrates the effects of economic dimensions — the politics of neoliberalism, and how this has shifted the understanding of state responsibilities and marginalized issues pertaining to the agenda of social justice.
