Book Description
Through the stories of prisoners and their families, including her own family’s experiences, Maya Schenwar shows how the institution that locks up 2.3 million Americans and decimates poor communities of color is shredding the ties that, if nurtured, could foster real collective safety. As she vividly depicts here, incarceration takes away the very things that might enable people to build better lives. But looking toward a future beyond imprisonment, Schenwar profiles community-based initiatives that successfully deal with problems—both individual harm and larger social wrongs—through connection rather than isolation, moving toward a safer, freer future for all of us.

Marnie is tremendously wealthy and tremendously alone. The 16-year-old daughter of a superstar who was killed years ago in a plane crash, Marnie refuses to take part in her oppressive boarding-school community.

Especially now that she has started chatting online with one of the other players, an intriguing rogue who calls himself the Elf. But closing herself off from the people around her doesn’t mean she’s safe, as Marnie soon discovers.

Oh, how little her cyber-adventure game has prepared her for this real-life dungeon!

Category : Social Science
Languages : en
Pages : 130
Book Description
This is the author’s second book. His first book, ‘Adventures in three worlds’ is a recollection of the events that happened in the author’s life and the lessons he learned. This book is like a treatise on the world’s reaction to the coronavirus, people are still going through. Life is just like a sea, we are moving constantly. Nothing stays with us, what remains are just the memories of some people who touched us like waves. We are loved when we are born; we may be loved or hated based on how we have managed ourselves in between. War and peace are part of life. The world produces war-mongers as well as great souls like Mahatma Gandhi, Albert Einstein, Abraham Lincoln, and Nelson Mandela. The virus brouhaha is an awakening to change. Now everyone know Wuhan! The book briefly covers aspects of globalization, history of pandemics, biological warfare, Hindu scriptures, Covid-19 and India's lessons to the world. By applying cognizance, sobriety, intelligence and wisdom we have been creating superb technology and management systems; yet we have missed Brahminical way of living. ‘A Path to Discover’ may open a debate with views and counter-views. In one sentence, what lessons have we learned from the virus? The great Hindu Saint Tulsidas gave the answer in 16th century: In ‘dependence’ there is no happiness, even in a dream.

Impact of School Shootings on Classroom Culture, Curriculum, and Learning
Author: Crews, Gordon A.
Publisher: IGI Global
ISBN: 1799852016
Category : Education
Languages : en
Pages : 355
Book Description
Different areas of inquiry have addressed the tragedy of school shootings and their deeply disruptive impacts upon school culture, classrooms, and student learning in this contemporary moment. Therefore, it is important to bring together interdisciplinary research on the long-term impacts of these events on students, teachers, and communities. In an age where arming classroom teachers is a serious policy initiative, there is a question of how a culture of fear manifests itself in those involved in school systems. There is a need to study these effects and implications in a time where violence and school shootings appear to have become more common than ever before. Hence, there is a need for diverse perspectives in this area of complex and urgent inquiry. Impact of School Shootings on Classroom Culture, Curriculum, and Learning explores the manifestations of the threat of school shootings and the aftermath of such tragic events through an interdisciplinary approach including but not limited to inquiries from educational psychology, sociology, educational philosophy, school leadership, and school culture with a view towards understanding the enduring and obscured effects of school shootings beyond the prevailing emphasis on facility safety and security. While chapters highlight topics such as resilience and recovery, school culture, sociology of schools, leadership and school regulation, and many more areas of interest, this book is ideal for educational leaders and administrators, classroom teachers, counselors, therapists, psychologists, school division trustees, law enforcement, policymakers, researchers, academicians, and students looking for the impacts and aftermath of school shootings on all aspects of education.
