Restorative Justice in Educational Settings & Policies
Edited by two leading restorative justice scholars from the West and East, this unique e-book bridges a gap in the literature by bringing together new evidence on the application of restorative practices in educational settings. The book has two aims. First, it builds a bridge between the restorative justice world in the East with that of the West. The volume demonstrates how similar the theoretical and practical experiences are in the two sides of the world. It presents us with evidence of what works in policy, research and practice and allows us to make comparisons for the future. Secondly, the book challenges restorative justice which is often seen through the narrow lenses of the crimina...

Salt Water
In the summer of 1963 I fell in love and my father drowned.... So begins this sweet, ominous novel by Charles Simmons. Set against an idyllic landscape of water, sand, and sky, it recounts in exquisite detail the momentous events of a boy's 16th summer that reveal to him the dark facts of adult passion. On Bone Point, an island off the New England coast, the boy's long, lazy days of boating and swimming are sharpened by a growing awareness of his charismatic father's infidelities. Add to this the presence of a flirtatious middle-aged woman and her beautiful 20-year-old daughter, who have rented the guesthouse, and the tale is set in motion. This tautly constructed novel is both startling and haunting—an irresistible story of memory, desire, and suspense.
Questo è il fuoco
Tanti si chiedono che cosa fare per scrivere meglio, ma pochi seguono fino in fondo la curiosità di sapere cosa c’è prima della scrittura, attorno alla scrittura. Eppure, è lì che tutto nasce. Bisogna chiedersi: quali esperienze possono farci sentire pronti per cominciare? Quali abitudini accendono le nostre idee? Quali strumenti ci allenano a pensarle dentro una pagina? Insomma, cosa dobbiamo fare prima di iniziare a scrivere, per essere certi che il fuoco sia robusto, che scaldi? E cosa dobbiamo fare dopo, per tenerlo vivo? Esatto, il fuoco. Se c’è una certezza che qui, a Scuola Holden, abbiamo maturato è proprio questa: la scrittura è come un fuoco, e tutto sta nel capire come alimentarlo. Nelle pagine che leggerai ci siamo impegnati a cercare ciò che lo origina, prima, e ciò che lo rafforza, poi. Abbiamo riunito le vie migliori, le strade che, ne siamo sicuri, porteranno lettrici e lettori più vicino alla fiamma che li anima, che li spinge, ogni giorno, a esercitare quel magnifico gesto che è scrivere.
A Focus on Human Rights
Congress has guided and shaped the U.S role in the current international human rights architecture, which grew out of the atrocities and destruction of World War II. The United Nations (U.N.) Charter, signed in 1945, included broad expressions of support for human rights and fundamental freedoms. This book addresses human rights issues.
Almarina
'One of the most beautiful books published in recent years: an intense, poignant story' Caterina Bonvicini Can a prison free those who enter? Nisida, moored like a boat in the Mediterranean, is a small island nestled between Capri and Bagnoli, off the coast of Naples. Each day, through the early morning light, Elisabetta Maiorano travels across the city, passes by the guards on the way into the detention centre, hands over her bag and arrives at her classroom. All thoughts are suspended once inside. Usually Elisabetta hasn't spoken to anyone since the day before; her only reason for living to teach mathematics to the group of young inmates who arrive not long after she does. But one day, Alm...
Nameless Serenade
