Book SynopsisIn contemporary western societies, there are increasing emphases on children being the responsibility of their parents, contained within the home, and on their compartmentalisation into separate and protected organised educational settings. Thus ''home'' and ''school'' form a crucial part of children''s lives and experiences.This book explores the key institutional settings of home and school, and other educationally linked organised spaces, in children''s lives, and the relationships between these. It presents in-depth discussions concerning new research findings from a range of national contexts and focuses on various aspects of children''s, and sometimes adult''s, own understandings and activities in home and school, and after school settings, and the relationship between these. The contributors assess children from a variety of backgrounds and circumstances and consider how these children see and position themselves as autonomous within, connected to or regulated by home and scTable of Contents1.

Taylor & Francis Ltd School Violence: Studies in Alienation, Revenge
Book SynopsisExperiences of violence in schools are encountered much more frequently than they used to be. The shocking repercussions of these acts are felt nation-wide and particularly impact school populations, families and communities. This book undertakes to illuminate factors pertaining to the phenomenon of school violence. It is intended for professionals such as school principals, teachers, social workers, psychologists, school administrators, school counselors and all who work directly with youth in various contexts. It is also intended for parents, family and community members, youth advisors and mentors, youth group leaders, religious advisors, counsellors, and others interested in the wellbeing of children and adolescents.Trade ReviewIn exploring the inner worlds of disturbed students the aim of this book is twofold. One important aspect is to bring enhanced understanding of dynamics involved in incidents of school violence to professionals, family members, school staff, and the larger social system. The other facet of this book focuses on the introduction of tools and techniques that can be used to bring out the inner experiences of students that usually remain unspoken and unaddressed. In utilizing dream figures, myth, image, body awareness, and group dialogue, previously ignored or repressed phenomena can find a placein which they can be contained and acknowledged.'School Violence is a vital, timely contribution. Dr Rose recognizes that chronic denial of the daimonic is at least as dangerous in adolescence as adulthood. She skillfully applies the penetrating insights of depth psychology to decipher the deepening epidemic of anger, rage and violence in our schools. This book courageously honors the therapeutic power, wisdom and value in acknowledging and constructively expressing the daimonic or shadow rather than destructively repressing and demonizing it.'- Dr Stephen Diamond, author of Anger, Madness, and the Daimonic'In this helpful new book on school violence, Dr Ingrid Rose brings us theories and new practical methods for understanding and dealing with alienation, revenge, and the place of student conflicts in the larger educational and social systems.'- Dr Arnold Mindell, author of Sitting in the FireTable of ContentsPreface -- Abstract -- Setting the stage -- Depth psychology and school violence -- New ideas on school alienation and violence -- Interventive methods -- Preventive measures -- Group dialogue and the quantum field -- Conclusion and final reflections

Penguin Publishing Group Three Cups of Tea
Book SynopsisThe astonishing, uplifting story of a real-life Indiana Jones and his humanitarian campaign to use education to combat terrorism in the Taliban’s backyardAnyone who despairs of the individual’s power to change lives has to read the story of Greg Mortenson, a homeless mountaineer who, following a 1993 climb of Pakistan’s treacherous K2, was inspired by a chance encounter with impoverished mountain villagers and promised to build them a school. Over the next decade he built fifty-five schools—especially for girls—that offer a balanced education in one of the most isolated and dangerous regions on earth. As it chronicles Mortenson’s quest, which has brought him into conflict with both enraged Islamists and uncomprehending Americans, Three Cups of Tea combines adventure with a celebration of the humanitarian spirit.Trade Review"Greg Mortenson’s dangerous and difficult quest . . . is not only a thrilling read, it’s proof that one ordinary person, with the right combination of character and determination, really can change the world."-Tom Brokaw"An inspiring chronicle . . . this is one protagonist who clearly deserves to be called a hero."-People"Mortenson’s mission is admirable, his conviction unassailable, his territory exotic."-The Washington Post
