Narrative nonfiction true crime memoir in which a psychologist describes the fallout from her spouse's murder and how she regained her momentum.
A psychologist’s secret life on the seedy side of Detroit gets him entangled with a prostitute—and her murderous pimp—in a “compelling work of true crime” (Detroit Free Press). In the exclusive suburb of Grosse Pointe, Alan Canty was a respected psychologist, with clients drawn from wealthy families across Detroit. But at night, he ventured into the city’s seedy south side, where, under the name Dr. Al Miller, he met with prostitutes. One girl in particular caught Dr. Al’s eye: a skinny teenage drug addict named Dawn, an ex-honor student who had fallen under the spell of a pimp named Lucky. Canty became their sugar daddy, spending thousands to buy them clothes, cars, and gifts. But when the money ran out, Canty’s luck went with it—and he was soon found hacked to pieces, his body scattered across Michigan. Covering the trial for the local press, Lowell Cauffiel became enthralled by this story of double lives and double crosses. In this thrilling true crime tale, Cauffiel shows what happens when deception turns fatal.
This collection delves into the ongoing debates spanning decades on the intricate interplay between posthumanism, the posthuman age, and education. Featuring authors from diverse backgrounds and theoretical perspectives, the chapters explore a spectrum of themes – from technophilia to technophobia, transhumanism to humanism, and Bildung tradition to new materialism – illuminating key dimensions of education in what is heralded as a new and distinct era. At the heart of these discussions is an exploration of whether this era truly marks a radical departure and how it influences educational practices. The chapters offer arguments both supporting and challenging these ideas, advocating for critical reflection and a fresh perspective on human experience and contemporary education. The collection suggests a creative and considerate approach to children's learning and learning with children, which would not only respond to the challenges of imposed circumstances but also suggest active work on the desirable construction of new ones.

Edward i Tomek to dwaj nastolatkowie podobni do siebie jak dwie krople wody. Poza wyglądem różni ich jednak wszystko. Pierwszy jest synem króla i następcą angielskiego tronu. Drugi pochodzi z rodziny nędzarzy. Żebrze na ulicy, a o życiu w luksusach może jedynie pomarzyć. Pewnego dnia losy obu chłopców skrzyżują się, a początkowo niewinna zabawa w zamianę miejsc zupełnie odmieni ich życie. Książę pozna codzienny trud biedaków, a Tomek zostanie wystawiony na pokusy władzy. "Książę i żebrak" jest ponadczasową opowieścią dla dzieci i młodzieży, która uczy, że nieważne jest to, co posiadamy, a to jakie wartości nosimy w sercu. Mark Twain - właśc. Samuel Lan...
