The book outlines two separate processes for working with groups
and discusses their separate applications as well as how they work
together for a holistic approach to institutional transformation;
it emphasizes group level processes, including academic
departments, an area which currently lacks development. The text
integrates across a wide range of disciplines and interdisciplinary
fields, thus it brings institutional transformation concepts into
conversations across many boundaries highlighting how insights from
one field can address issues in another. The book is timely in
topic, focusing on solutions for institutional racism and sexism
and a pathway to collectively address calls for racial justice and
equity by blending theory and practice into a praxis for how to
implement and sustain socially just institutions; it includes
outcomes documenting the positive impacts of the practices
described in the text.
"This concise new edition equips teachers with the knowledge and
skills needed to transform teacher supervision and evaluation into
a powerful vehicle for maximizing growth and enhancing student
learning. New and reconceptualized content has been integrated
throughout the pages. New case studies, examples, and vignettes
have been included to offer the most up-to-date information.
Additional pedagogical tools have been added as well to help build
understanding. These include skill and concept development
exercises, discussion question, and theory-into-practice
applications. This practical approach enables teachers to gain a
new perspective on the classroom experience."--
This book tackles the contentious issue of policing in an age of
controversy and uncertainty. It is a timely book written by police
scholars - predominantly former practitioners from Europe,
Australia and North America - who draw from their own research and
operational experiences to illuminate key issues relating to police
reform in the present day. While acknowledging some relevance of
usual proposed models, such as problem-solving, evidence-based
policing and procedural justice, the contributors provide an
insider look at a variety of perspectives and approaches to police
reform which have emerged in recent decades. It invites university
students, criminologists, social scientists, police managers,
forensic scientists to question and adapt their perspectives on a
broad range of topics such as community policing, hate crime,
Islamic radicalisation, neighborhood dynamics, situational
policing, antidiscrimination and civil society, police ethics,
performance measures, and advances in forensic science, technology,
intelligence and more in an accessible and comprehensive manner.

War presents the most degraded moral environment humanity creates.
It is an arena where individuality is subsumed in collective
violence and humanity is obscured as a faceless, merciless enemy
pitted against its reflection in an elemental struggle for
survival. A barbaric logic has guided the conduct of war throughout
history. Yet as Cathal Nolan reveals in this gripping, poignant,
and powerful book, even as war can obliterate hope and decency at
the grand level it simultaneously produces conditions that permit
astonishing exceptions of mercy and shared dignity. Pulling the
trigger is usually both the expedient thing and required by war's
grim and remorseless calculus. Yet somehow the trigger is not
always pulled. A different choice is made. Restraint triumphs.
Humanity is rediscovered and honored in a flash of recognition.
This book gathers and explores acts of singular mercy, giving them
form and substance-across wars, causes, and opposing uniforms.
These acts demand our attention not only for the moral uplift they
supply but because they challenge assumptions about humanity
itself. Rising above ordinary courage, they may ultimately
transcend our understanding, entering the realm of the ineffable.
Nevertheless, as Nolan shows, acts of mercy in war are not the
provenance of saints but of ordinary men and women who perform them
at great personal risk. As much or more than the normal war hero
stories, we must recognize the extraordinary courage of the
merciful in war. Mercy is an exceptional book about exceptions,
challenging myths and heroic fabrications, refuting claims to
exclusive moral virtue. It reminds us that decency in warfare is
also universal, offering a haunting and compellingly humane
counternarrative to war's usual inhumane logic.
A philosophical description of one man's journey through life, his
practice, teachings, as well as, an autobiographical account that
led to his spiritual development.
