Book Description
It is March of 1997, and Roland Axam lost, out of his element, and in a new world. As his plane begins its final approach to Kimp'o International Airport in Seoul, South Korea, Roland realizes his life is about to change forever-again. Roland has already survived a devastating, life-altering tragedy back home in Ottawa, Canada; he knows that what he needs most now is a clean slate. As he arrives in Chŏnju, South Korea, where he plans to teach English and leave his past behind, Roland abandons all that is familiar for the unknown. He immerses himself in a vastly different culture, where communication is difficult and his need to belong brings challenges. But despite the distractions of a bustling city thousands of miles from everything he knows, Roland is still haunted by anger, guilt, and demons that he attempts to drown in alcohol. In this compelling tale, one man travels across an ocean to begin an unforgettable journey of self-discovery that eventually leads him to realize love, forgiveness, healing, and another new beginning.

Book Description
"Bam and Jam are big dogs with even bigger hearts. All they want in life is to make friends and be happy, but life isn't always easy... Join Bam and Jam on their adventures as they face the many daily struggles of being a little bit different." There are a great many activities and social settings or requirements that are inaccessible to some, either through their own fears or factors out of their control. Now though, we're living in a moment where kindness, empathy and inclusion are being talked about more than ever before; but it's important that these conversations lead to change. Even if that's just within our own home or school environments at first. While on the surface "The Adventures of Bam and Jam" may only appear to deliver a simple lesson, there's a message in each story that runs deeper and is widely transferrable to many aspects of our lives. I try to shed light on situations great and small that we will all be faced with - or have faced previously - as seen in "You Can't Play With Us!" Something as seemingly straightforward as making friends is often quite the opposite, emphasising the importance of understanding inclusion from an early age. Books can be an excellent tool for teaching and building a basic understanding of larger issues. However more than that, children - and parents - often find comfort within their pages. I hope these stories (most based on genuine experience) will serve as both entertaining and educational. Not just for children but dog owners too!

Always Resisting
Author: Eric Newhall
Publisher: McFarland
ISBN: 1476694036
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 230
Book Description
In this memoir, Eric Newhall traces his life and political evolution with a particular focus on his time inside Lompoc Federal Correctional Institution, where he was incarcerated for refusing to participate in the Vietnam War. Beginning with his youth in an all-white neighborhood in Portland, Oregon, he describes his undergraduate experience at Occidental College in Los Angeles (1963-1967), his time in prison, and the powerful impact that his time behind bars had on both his 34-year marriage and 44-year teaching career. His memoir is a reminder that much work remains to be done, that subtle racism takes many forms and can be found even in outwardly progressive families like the one in which he was raised, and that the social problems examined here are even more pressing today than they were during the 1960s. The book will be particularly compelling to readers concerned by the threat to democracy posed by persistent war, authoritarianism and racism.
