This new book aims to explore the key issues and debates
surrounding the question of the incorporation and
institutionalisation of restorative justice within existing penal
and criminal justice systems, an increasingly pressing issue given
the rapid spread of restorative justice worldwide at both national
and international levels. In doing so it aims to build bridges
between those concerned with the practical institutionalisation of
restorative justice on the one hand, and those engaged in more
theoretical aspects of penal development and analysis on the other.
It offers conceptual tools and a theoretical framework to help make
sense of these developments, reflecting expertise drawn from
analysis of developments in Europe, North America and Australasia.
New York Times bestselling author Steve Sheinkin presents a follow
up to his award-winning book Bomb: The Race to Build--and
Steal--the World's Most Dangerous Weapon, taking readers on a
terrifying journey into the Cold War and our mutual assured
destruction. As World War II comes to a close, the United States
and the Soviet Union emerge as the two greatest world powers on
extreme opposites of the political spectrum. After the United
States showed its hand with the atomic bomb in Hiroshima, the
Soviets refuse to be left behind. With communism sweeping the
globe, the two nations begin a neck-and-neck competition to build
even more destructive bombs and conquer the Space Race. In their
battle for dominance, spy planes fly above, armed submarines swim
deep below, and undercover agents meet in the dead of night. The
Cold War game grows more precarious as weapons are pointed towards
each other, with fingers literally on the trigger. The decades-long
showdown culminates in the Cuban Missile Crisis, the world's close
call with the third--and final--world war. Praise for BOMB: A

This single volume traces three approaches to the "study" of the
Holocaust--through notions of history, theories of memory, and a
focus on art and representation. It introduces readers to the
different ways we have come to "understand" the Holocaust, gives
them an opportunity to ask questions about those conclusions, and
examines how this event can be understood once all the survivors
are gone. In addition, the book looks at the different disciplines
-- history, sociology, religious studies, and literary
interpretation, among others -- through which studies of the
Holocaust take place. A three section organization covers history,
the treatment of eyewitness and the testimonies produced by them,
and the possibility of literature and other arts presenting a
better understanding of Holocaust events than the former. MARKET
For individuals interested in a historical interpretation of the
Holocaust-- even more complex and troubling than the event itself.
In this heartwarming and candid memoir, US national soccer team
goalkeeper Tim Howard opens up for the first time about how a
hyperactive kid from New Jersey with Tourette Syndrome defied the
odds to become one of the world's premier goalkeepers. After a
successful seventeen-year professional soccer career, Howard became
an overnight star during the 2014 World Cup in Brazil. His heroic
performance in the game for the United States against Belgium, in
which he saved an astonishing fifteen shots-the most for any
goalkeeper in a World Cup game-made him a household name as well as
a trending internet meme. In the course of 120 minutes, Howard went
from a player known mainly by soccer fans to an American icon,
loved by millions for his dependability, daring, and humility. In
this uplifting memoir adapted for young readers and now in
paperback, Howard shares his remarkable journey from a challenging
childhood in which he was raised by a single mother who instilled
in him a love of sports and a deep faith that helped him deal with
the onset of Tourette Syndrome in fifth grade. The book includes a
glossary and a full-color insert.
"Speed, bonnie boat, like a bird on the wing, 'Onward!' the sailors
cry; Carry the lad who's born to be king Over the sea to Skye."
Sung throughout the world, the Skye Boat Song evocatively brings
alive the story of Bonnie Prince Charlie's famous journey from the
Outer Hebrides to Skye, off Scotland's west coast, after his defeat
at the Battle of Culloden. This stunning picture book, inspired by
the lyrics of the traditional Scottish folksong, illustrates the
true story of one of Scotland's most famous heroes and introduces
children to this dramatic period of Scottish history. The beautiful
landscapes and seascapes of Scotland's west coast are captured by
Alfredo Belli's stunning illustrations.
Music can carry the stories of history like a message in a bottle.
Lord Kitchener, Neneh Cherry, Smiley Culture, Stormzy . . .
Groundbreaking musicians whose songs have changed the world. But
how? This exhilarating playlist tracks some of the key shifts in
modern British history, and explores the emotional impact of 28
songs and the artists who performed them. This book redefines
British history, the Empire and postcolonialism, and will invite
you to think again about the narratives and key moments in history
that you have been taught up to now. Thrilling, urgent,
entertaining and thought-provoking, this beautifully illustrated
companion to modern black music is a revelation and a delight.

This book traces the influences that have shaped the secondary school history curriculum during Hong Kong's prolonged political transition between the 1960s and the early 21st century, focusing especially on the relationship between history teaching and identity formation. The author's experience as a local history teacher during the mid-1990s made him conscious of the peculiarities of the history curriculum at the time; in particular, the neglect of Hong Kong's own history in both syllabuses and textbooks, and the unique division between 'History' and the entirely separate subject of 'Chinese History'.
