FICE-INTER BOOKS
FICE is back into publishing!
We are expecting to publish the first of a series of FICE-International books in April 2007 in partnership with Trentham Books. Because so many FICE members are involved in extrafamilial care, that will be the subject of the first book, being prepared under the title :
RESIDENTIAL CHILD CARE AND ITS ALTERNATIVES
– international perspectives
Edited by Friedhelm Peters
Part One discusses policies, theory and societal developments and Part Two describes professional developments, special projects or concrete initiatives in child care. There are contributions from Canada, England, Finland, Germany, Israel, the Netherlands and Slovenia. The Contents are attached.
This book is essential reading for everyone who works directly with children and young people who require care outside their families. It will also be of value to their managers, and to lecturers and researchers, inspectors, government and NGO officials and others concerned about the care of children.
ISBN 978 1 85856 409 8 184 pages 234 x 156mm Price £17.99
And there will be more!
It is intended that this will be the first of a series of books, and additional themes are being planned. Contributions will be welcomed from FICE members and contacts. The books will be published in English.
FICE will be 60 in 2008!
A History of FICE was published for its 40th Anniversary, and a revised and updated History is being prepared, for publication at the Helsinki Congress in 2008.

Email to FICE National Sections : February 2007
From FICE-Inter Editorial Board
Dear Colleague,
The first FICE-Inter publication for some time is due out in April 2007, a book on Residential Child Care and its Alternatives. The Contents are attached.
FICE is committed to purchase a number of copies, which are available to FICE National Sections at a reduced price of £10.79 (as against a full price of £17.99). It will be possible for these copies to be sent directly in bulk to FICE National Sections for a modest charge. I would therefore be grateful if you could email me to let me know :
(a) the number of copies which your National Section wishes to buy,
(b) the address to which the copies should be sent, and
(c) the contact person in case of queries.
I am also attaching a flyer, and I would be grateful if you could circulate it to all members, so that we can build a data base of email addresses of people who wish to be informed about FICE-Inter publications.
With best wishes,
Yours sincerely,
David C. Lane
Chair, FICE-Inter Editorial Board
