Making Stars Physical
Making Stars Physical offers the first extensive look at the astronomical career of John Herschel, son of William Herschel and one of the leading scientific figures in Britain throughout much of the nineteenth century. Herschel’s astronomical career is usually relegated to a continuation of his father, William’s, sweeps for nebulae. However, as Stephen Case argues, John Herschel was pivotal in establishing the sidereal revolution his father had begun: a shift of attention from the planetary system to the study of nebulous regions in the heavens and speculations on the nature of the Milky Way and the sun’s position within it. Through John Herschel’s astronomical career—in particular...
Positive Youth Justice
Positive Youth Justice offers a powerful new way of approaching youth justice issues: Children First, Offenders Second (CFOS). Aiming to reorient the way that the justice system thinks about and handles young offenders, CFOS argues that the primary focus should be on the fact that these offenders are children, addressing the nature and consequences of their criminal actions in light of that fundamental fact. Already in use in Wales, CFOS is a promising blueprint for building a child-friendly and inclusive approach to criminal justice issues relating to youth.
The Third Wave
Steve Case, co-founder of America Online (AOL) and one of America's most accomplished entrepreneurs, shares a roadmap for how anyone can succeed in a world of rapidly changing technology. We are entering, he explains, a new paradigm called the "Third Wave" of the Internet. The first wave saw AOL and other companies lay the foundation for consumers to connect to the Internet. The second wave saw companies like Google and Facebook build on top of the Internet to create search and social networking capabilities, while apps like Snapchat and Instagram leverage the smartphone revolution. Now, Case argues, we're entering the Third Wave: a period in which entrepreneurs will vastly transform major "real world" sectors like health, education, transportation, energy, and food-and in the process change the way we live our daily lives.

What if I have an up-and-down relationship with God? How should I keep the Sabbath? Did Jesus have girl problems? What on earth will we do in heaven? What about women ministers?What's wrong with dancing . . . the theater . . . Christian rock . . . jewelry . . . drinking . . . incense? Holy amnesia! Does Jesus really forget our sins when He forgives us?

Child First
This book explores the development and implementation of Child First as an innovative guiding principle for improving youth justice systems.

It has now been adopted as the four-point guiding principle for all policy and practice across the youth justice system in England and Wales, it is becoming a key reform principle for youth justice in Northern Ireland, and it is increasingly influential across several western jurisdictions. With contributions from academics, policymakers ...
