The Grief Tower
Children who grow up outside of their parent's passport country, Third Culture Kids (TCKs), experience a significant number of losses, grief-inducing experiences, and traumas during their developmental years. These events stack up like blocks on a tower throughout the life of the TCK, creating what Lauren Wells has coined the Grief Tower. If it continues to stack without these experiences being processed, a TCK's Grief Tower is likely to crash in their early adulthood. But is this avoidable? Can parents and caregivers provide care that prevents the tower from stacking too high in the first place? The answer is yes, and this practical resource is full of tools for helping the TCKs we love to process their grief.

Learning Power
In cities across the nation, low-income African-American and Latino parents hope their children's education will bring a better life.

The Simple Life
Would you swap the company BMW for a third hand van? Would you know what to do with a vegetable that didn't come wrapped in plastic? Lawrence Langland has had enough of watching his tongue and playing corporate politics - he wants out, to a simpler life as a small holder, a hippy, an apple-grower. Amazingly his wife Isobel, a woman whose key ring (gold plated) says `Born to Shop', has her own reasons for wanting to escape from their cosy suburban rut and embark on country life in a tumble down cottage with alacrity. Eight-year old Jacob is in seventh heaven - he'll have to leave his horrible boarding school, but Dory needs more persuading; until she realises that there are boys in the country too. Lauren Wells's wise, witty novel explores the pleasures and pitfalls of striking out on your own, as the Langlands reap the consequences of daring to be different.

Thinking Comprehensively About Education
While much is known about the critical importance of educative experiences outside of school, little is known about the social systems, community programs, and everyday practices that can facilitate learning outside of the classroom. Thinking Comprehensively About Education sheds much-needed light on those systems, programs, and practices; conceptualizing education more broadly through a nuanced exploration of: the various spaces where education occurs; the non-dominant practices and possibilities of those spaces; the possibilities of enabling social systems, institutions, and programs of comprehensive education. This original edited collection identifies and describes the resources that enable optimal human learning and development, and offers a public policy framework that can enable a truly comprehensive educational system. Thinking Comprehensively About Education is a must-read for faculty, students, policy analysts, and policymakers.
