Robin, From the Hood
“Robin, From the Hood” is Sinclair’s first novel published; it is a fictionalized account of the many sufferings of undue sadistic abuse and heartbreak endured by protagonist Robin, and his best friend Gale; and the daunting path the two follow for their ultimate, sweet revenge, served ice cold! Look for future novels, including “Condemned Man’s Angst”; the philosophical odyssey of a condemned death-row amnesiac. Also a thrilling, sexy, and sometimes humorous, adult urban fantasy spy series, “The Fixer”; Robert St. Clair, a handsome, brilliant, suave, sophisticated, street-smart covert presidential operative with a triple-zero designation, who partners with his genius Rat Terrier ‘dawgter’.
Universities in Transition
Universities are social universes in their own right. They are the site of multiple, complex and diverse social relations, identities, communities, knowledges and practices. At the heart of this book are people enrolling at university for the first time and entering into the broad variety of social relations and contexts entailed in their ‘coming to know’ at, of and through university. For some time now the terms ‘transition to university’ and ‘first-year experience’ have been at the centre of discussion and discourse at, and about, Australian universities. For those university administrators, researchers and teachers involved, this focus has been framed by a number of interlinke...
Comparative Education Research
Approaches and methods in comparative education are of obvious importance, but do not always receive adequate attention. This second edition of a well-received book, containing thoroughly updated and additional material, contributes new insights within the longstanding traditions of the field. A particular feature is the focus on different units of analysis. Individual chapters compare places, systems, times, cultures, values, policies, curricula and other units. These chapters are contextualised within broader analytical frameworks which identify the purposes and strengths of the field. The book includes a focus on intra-national as well as cross-national comparisons, and highlights the value of approaching themes from different angles. As already demonstrated by the first edition of the book, the work will be of great value not only to producers of comparative education research but also to users who wish to understand more thoroughly the parameters and value of the field.
Schooling in Disadvantaged Communities
Based on a study of one secondary school located in a disadvantaged community in Australia, this book provides a different perspective on what it means to ‘play the game’ of schooling. Drawing on the perspectives of teachers, parents and students, this book is a window through which to explore the possibilities of schooling in disadvantaged communities. The authors contend that teachers, parents and students themselves are all involved in the game of reproducing disadvantage in schooling, but similarly, they can play a part in opening up opportunities for change to enhance learning for marginalised students. Rather than only attempting to transform students, teachers should be also be co...

Felicia's Journey
Felicia's Journey explores the 1999 film adaptation by Director Atom Egoyan of William Trevor's novel of 1994. McBride addresses Hitchcockian influences, the sense of place in the visual discourse, and the characterization of the serial killer Hilditch, as constructed initially by Trevor and interpreted by Egoyan. Eschewing a crude "fidelity" model of adaptation, the study explores Egoyan's screen version as a commentary on, or significant reworking of, the original book. In particular, Egoyan's extension of the mother figure, through his creation of Gala, opens questions about memory, representation, and cinema's capacity as a reflexive medium which is a central feature of his film art.
Unforgettable
The bestselling author of Lawless Love pens a heartfelt western historical novel of the promises we make—and the love that can come from breaking them. Orphaned at a young age, street-savvy Ally Mills and her brother Toby agree on one thing: sticking together no matter what. When their daring escape from an evil man leads them to the dusty plains of Oklahoma, they see their chance to make a fortune. Disguised as husband and wife, they set out on a journey to claim their own land in a new town. Eagle-eyed army scout Ethan Temple sees through the fiery redhead’s disguise. Suspicious of the duo and drawn to Ally’s tenacious spirit, the striking half-Cheyenne marksman can’t help but keep watch over her. Ally made an unbreakable pact, but the longer Ethan stays at her side, the more terrifying her realization grows: She’s in love. And she must tell Ethan how she feels before he rides out of her life for good . . . “Sensual . . . With emotional intensity, heart-stopping action, bittersweet romance and passion!” —Romantic Times
The Internet and the Google Age: Prospects and Perils
The book commemorates the 25th Anniversary of the Internet in March 2014 and celebrates the achievements and benefits while also pointing out the limitations and perils of the Internet. Edited by Dr Jonathan James of Edith Cowan University in Australia, the book identifies the broad characteristics of the Internet age, and includes several studies that outline the educational benefits of the Internet and social media platforms like Facebook which connect families in the diaspora. The Internet and the Google Age also looks at the place of faith and religion on the Internet. It describes how life in our digital world is both exciting and challenging. An excellent introduction to Internet Studies, the book predicts that life will become more and more digitalized and how the current demarcation between private and public spheres, home and office, human and non humans (robots) will become less and less apparent as the Internet becomes more interwoven into our lives.
