Writer Lisa Jones went to Wyoming for a four-day magazine
assignment. She was committed to a long-term relationship, building
a career, and searching for something she could not name.
At a dusty corral on the Wind River Indian Reservation, she met
Stanford Addison, a Northern Arapaho who seemed to transform
everything around him. He gentled horses rather than breaking them.
It was said he could heal people of everything from cancer to
bipolar disorder. He did all this from a wheelchair; he had been a
quadriplegic for more than twenty years.
Intrigued, Lisa sat at Stanford's kitchen table and watched. And
she listened to his story. Stanford spent his teenage years busting
broncos, seducing girls, and dealing drugs. At twenty, he left the
house for another night of partying. By morning, a violent accident
had robbed him of his physical prowess and left in its place
unwelcome spiritual powers--an exchange so shocking that Stanford
spent several years trying to kill himself. Eventually he
surrendered to his new life and mysterious gifts. Over the years
Lisa was a frequent visitor to Stanford's place, the reservation
and its people worked on her, exposing and healing the places where
she, too, was broken. This is her story, intertwined with
Stanford's, and it explores powerful spirits, material poverty,
spiritual wealth, friendship, violence, confusion, death, and above
all else, love.
It's Christmas time for Baby Boo and the snow is falling outside.
Join him as he makes a snowman, decorates the Christmas tree and
looks out for Santa!

For the first time, researchers, policymakers and practitioners
across the world will have access to a comprehensive mapping of
research evidence and policy strategies about education and poverty
in affluent countries. Although there is widespread agreement that
poverty and poor educational outcomes are related, there are
competing explanations as to why that should be the case. This is a
major problem for practitioners, policy makers and researchers who
are looking for pointers to action, or straightforward ways of
understanding an issue that troubles education systems across the
world. This unique book brings scholarship and analysis from some
of the most influential researchers and writers on education and
poverty within one text. The authors provide a synthesising
framework that will help researchers and policy makers to examine
future educational policy in a holistic and comprehensive
fashion.

little books are perfect for babies from birth.
Long-tailed macaques (Macaca fascicularis) have a wide geographical
distribution and extensively overlap with human societies across
southeast Asia, regularly utilizing the edges of secondary forest
and inhabiting numerous anthropogenic environments, including
temple grounds, cities and farmlands. Yet despite their apparent
ubiquity across the region, there are striking gaps in our
understanding of long-tailed macaque population ecology. This
timely volume, a key resource for primatologists, anthropologists
and conservationists, underlines the urgent need for comprehensive
population studies on common macaques. Providing the first detailed
look at research on this underexplored species, it unveils what is
currently known about the population of M. fascicularis, explores
the contexts and consequences of human-macaque sympatry and
discusses the innovative programs being initiated to resolve
human-macaque conflict across Asia. Spread throughout the book are
boxed case studies that supplement the chapters and give a valuable
insight into specific field studies on wild M. fascicularis
populations.

This book offers a valuable resource, reviewing the current state
of knowledge concerning the pathology and epidemiology of
infectious diseases in both captive and wild monkeys. The One
Health concept forms the framework of all chapters. The
multidisciplinary team of authors addresses neglected diseases
caused by the three major pathogen groups - bacteria, viruses, and
parasites. Moreover, the volume discusses key virulence factors
such as the evolution of antibiotic resistance, and the ecological
drivers of and human influence on pathogen transmission.
Demonstrating how researchers working on monkeys diseases are
increasingly thinking outside the box, this volume is an essential
reference guide to the field of One Health and will serve as an
asset for stakeholders in conservation, healthcare and research
organizations that face the challenge of moving beyond classical
human oriented approaches to health.
