The Spatial Dynamics of Juvenile Series Literature
Where we come from, where we are, where we have been, and where we are going all have a huge impact on who we are. Theories of space and place also hold that the converse is equally true—that we have an impact on those spaces and places we inhabit or dwell within. We make space: our agencies, our cultures, our beliefs and values and understandings shape the macro- and micro-environments around us. Just as much, however, those places we inhabit shape us, causing us to adapt ourselves to them. Children exist in spaces that are crafted for them by adults—by parents, by school administrators and teachers—and, as such, their impact on space can be somewhat limited. Space is made for them, b...

The Kids Are the Easy Part
Dr. Benedict Baglio, a veteran of 36 years in public education, says we haven't gotten nearly our money's worth from the educational system. Why? Metaphorically, we have put new wine (and not a good vintage at that) in an old bottle. We have not at all addressed the ancient structures and systems we have used to educate children for over 100 years, while those students have changed dramatically, as has the society that produced them. We are wasting valuable time and resources reenforcing crumbling structures and systems that champion worn out pedagogy and allowing bad practice to continue. Costly intervention is the valued operative, while cost-effective prevention is cast aside.
As Time Goes By
As Time Goes By is a work of fiction with an historical base. Did you ever wonder what it would be like to go back in time to visit a hero, someone who encapsulated the values of a time you see as romantic, critical, or dangerous, but may still represent a solution to a personal or professional dilemma because their actions were timeless? This novel relates one man's adventure in time.
21st Century Houses
Many people dream of commissioning an architect to design their perfect home. It is a commitment that takes time and money, but having a bespoke space built around your specific needs, interests and desires can be life-changing.

The Royal Institute of British Architects (RIBA) has been championing outstanding work for over 180 years, and the internationally recognised RIBA awards celebrate the very best in British architecture. The winning houses, featured here, showcase truly innovative design, contemporary materials and techniques, and inspired responses to historical and urban settings, as well as areas of natural beauty. By working clo...
Calm
In recent times, many of us have spent more time at home than ever before. Creating a home that instills a sense of calm will cocoon and protect us from the outside world, create a sense of wellbeing and make us feel truly nurtured. Calm will help you create a restful, restorative interior that draws you in and makes your shoulders drop the moment you walk through the door. Sally Denning first explores the essential foundations of a tranquil, comforting home: calming and harmonious colours, textiles, pattern, lighting and decorative elements. She goes on to explore a mix of accessible real-life homes, ranging from city homes to country houses, new builds, flats/apartments, beach houses and more. The spaces may be different, but they all share one thing: a timeless, soothing and restful atmosphere that is a pleasure to come home to.
