Revoked
This feels like a bad one. This is the gut feeling of Cam Clay—a seasoned detective in the Calgary Police’s Violent Crimes Division—as he approaches an unassuming house in the city’s northwestern suburbs. It is his first day back at work after thirty days of forced vacation, and nothing can prepare him for the grisly crime scene inside. A mother and child lie brutally murdered. Still reeling from the horrific events that led to his “vacation,” Clay must try and remain calm as he pieces together the scattered facts: the victim’s husband is in jail for battery; her brother, out of prison on parole, is discovered at the scene, but there is no physical evidence to tie him to the cr...
Stampede City
As the Calgary Stampede kicks off the biggest party of the year, a young man is brutally murdered in broad daylight in his quiet neighbourhood. Cam Clay, a seasoned detective with the Violent Crimes Division of the Calgary Police Service, is called to the scene to investigate. The victim has been shot execution-style in his driveway—a crime Clay and his colleagues initially chalk up to a hit by a local gang. But when conflicting evidence is unearthed and more bodies start to pile up, it becomes clear that a new player in town is trying to take over the streets of Calgary. At a time when Clay is trying to manage his rocky love life, his father’s declining health, and his troubled relationship with his son, it’s just one more headache that he doesn’t need. And then he finds himself in the crosshairs of crime boss Simon McKeegan, whose explosive threats endanger not only Clay, but the Stampede celebrations and the entire city of Calgary.
The Handbook of Life-Span Development, Volume 1

Adolescent Development and School Achievement in Urban Communities
This timely volume explores essential themes, issues, and challenges related to adolescents’ lives and learning in underserviced urban areas. Distinguished scholars provide theoretically grounded, multidisciplinary perspectives on contexts and forces that influence adolescent development and achievement. The emphasis is on what is positive and effective, what can make a real difference in the lives and life chances for urban youths, rather than deficits and negative dysfunction. Going beyond solely traditional psychological theories, a strong conceptual framework addressing four domains for understanding adolescent development undergirds the volume: developmental continuities from childhood primary changes (biological, cognitive, social) contexts of development adolescent outcomes. A major federal government initiative is the development of programs to support underserviced urban areas. Directly relevant to this initiative, this volume contributes significantly to gaining a realistic understanding of the contexts and institutions within which urban youths live and learn.

Comprehensive Children's Mental Health Services in Schools and Communities
Despite the growing emphasis on a population-based training and service delivery model for school psychology, few resources exist to provide guidance concerning how such services might be conceptualized and put into place. In this book, the authors propose a public health model for comprehensive children’s mental health services that expands, rather than replaces, the traditional model of school psychology. The background and theoretical perspective for this public health model are discussed as an important way to solve problems and accomplish goals in schools, after which the authors outline and develop a clear, practical procedure for implementing and evaluating programs based on public ...
