From #1 bestselling author Lisa Scottoline comes a pulse-pounding new novel. Your family has been attacked. Now you have to choose between law... and justice. Jason Bennett is a suburban dad whose life takes a horrific turn. He is driving his family home when a pickup truck begins tailgating them. Suddenly two men jump from the pickup and pull guns on Jason, demanding the car. A horrific flash of violence changes his life forever. Later that awful night, Jason and his family receive a visit from the FBI. The agents tell them that the carjackers were members of a dangerous drug-trafficking organization — and now Jason and his family are in their crosshairs. The agents advise the Bennetts to enter the witness protection program. But WITSEC was not designed to protect law-abiding families. Trapped in an unfamiliar life, the Bennetts begin to fall apart at the seams. Then Jason learns a shocking truth and realizes that he has to take matters into his own hands. Sometimes justice is a one-man show.

The key aims of early childhood education and care (ECEC) are to offer children from all social backgrounds a good start in their lives, to support parenting as well as families’ workforce participation, and, thereby, to sustainably strengthen the national economy over current and future generations. High-quality ECEC has been shown to improve child outcomes and be a buffer against developmental risk factors. For these reasons, governments, ECEC providers, and researchers are placing an increasing focus on the frameworks and systems that underpin quality as well as the measures that assess quality. At the same time, however, research on ECEC as a multidisciplinary endeavor has shown that t...
Sin grabbed the letter and as he held it in his hand he looked at the envelope that was addressed to him with a smile on his face. Then a look of curiosity came over him, I wonder what's this about, he thought. I just talked to her the other day and she didn't tell me that she was sending me a letter. Becoming more anxious he tore open the envelope. All the life had drained out of him at that very moment. Everybody ain't who they say they are, but she better keep her mouth closed.

Mit der Unterzeichnung der UN-Konvention über die Rechte von Menschen mit Behinderung haben sich Deutschland und Österreich verpflichtet, Selektionsmechanismen ab- und ein inklusives Bildungswesen für alle Kinder aufzubauen. Die Autor_innen in diesem Band verhandeln theoretische und praxisbezogene Ausdifferenzierungen des Inklusionsparadigmas, diskutieren konzeptionelle und praxisbezogene Herausforderungen und zeigen empirische Zugänge zu inklusionssensiblen Feldern am Beispiel der Schule und Hochschule, einer Kindertageseinrichtung, der Medienarbeit, Sozialer Arbeit und Selbsthilfeorganisationen auf. Ziel dieses Bandes ist es, nach analytischen, adressat_innenorientierten und wissenschaftlichen Dimensionen von Inklusion und deren Konkretisierung und Kontextualisierung in unterschiedlichen Feldern zu fragen, aus diesen Feldern heraus gesellschaftliche Herausforderungen und Spannungsfelder zu diskutieren und soziale Vernetzungen zu begünstigen.
