In Planting for Garden Birds find straightforward ideas and easy to
achieve plans that will make your garden irresistible to birds.
Packed with interesting facts, environmental and habitat
information as well as easy to achieve planting ideas, this is a
practical, illustrated guide for people wanting to encourage more
birdlife to their outdoor space. By gardening sustainably, you can
make a considerable difference to the wildlife populations in your
immediate area, as well as in the country as a whole. While some
birds are residents we’ll see from day to day, others are
fleeting visitors – but they’re all potential guests in our
gardens if we make the environment suitably welcoming. Planting for
Garden Birds is aimed at the keen amateur gardener and those hoping
to take their knowledge and experience to the next level. Planting
for Garden Birds is part of a series of books aimed at encouraging
wildlife into your garden. Other titles in the series are: Planting
for Butterflies, Planting for Wildlife, Planting for Honeybees.
In Gendered Power in Child Welfare: What’s Care Got to Do with
It?, Christa Jane Moore and Patricia Gagné argue that the child
welfare system in Kentucky and other states is based on masculine
values that were institutionalized long before women had the right
to vote, hold public office, or have a voice in public law and
policy. The authors draw on feminist and organizational theories
and base their arguments on primary qualitative data and secondary
statistics to demonstrate that, historically and today, the efforts
of care workers in the child welfare system are stymied by a highly
bureaucratic child welfare system that demands focus on metric
outcomes. Throughout the work the authors argue for reforms—more
feminized orientations that hearken back to the earliest extensions
of community-centered care for those most vulnerable, especially
children with protective needs.
Making a haven for wildlife doesn’t require acres of land in the
countryside. If you get the habitat and planting right, then even
the tiniest of urban gardens can host a variety of creatures from
birds and bees to hedgehogs. Covering everything from going organic
to making a pond and turning your green space into a wildlife haven
– this book is for gardeners who want to apply a more holistic
approach to gardening and create their own urban sanctuary. Through
a collection of simple projects that can be easily adapted for a
variety of gardens and planting guides, this book will help you to
re-connect with natural world on your own doorstep. Jane Moore will
draw on her 16 years of experience of creating an urban sanctuary
in the heart of the city as she lays out the simple ways in
which you can approach making even the smallest patch of land
a haven for wildlife, great or small.
Teacher education is experiencing a period of dramatic and arguably
irrevocable change within a wider context of turbulence in the
English education system. With contributions from a range of
teacher educators and academics in the field, Teacher Education in
Challenging Times presents sustainable, robust, and informed
responses to the challenges posed by the current unrest in the
education sector. This book considers the nature of teacher
professionalism, the nurturing of truly collaborative partnerships
between universities, schools and other agencies, and developments
in practice with tangible impact for children and young people.
Drawing on important research and illustrations of policy and
practice from England and other countries, chapters present a
series of counter-cultural ideas, principles and practices that
respond to pressing challenges facing educators in a range of
contexts. Positive and forward-looking, this book offers a robust
defence of the present need for high-quality teacher education in
challenging times. This book is a timely contribution to an
international debate about the future of teacher educators and
should be of key interest to academics, researchers and
postgraduate students in the fields of teacher education,
philosophy and sociology of education, policy and politics of
education, and pedagogy. It will also appeal to a range of
practitioners, including trainers, local authority officers,
professional groups, educational service providers, and educational
and school improvement consultants.

Butterflies are brilliant pollinators and add vibrancy and colour
to the garden. A summer's day wouldn't be the same without the
gentle fluttering of delicate wings. They connect us with living
and breathing nature and are an essential part of a dynamic
ecosystem. However, in the past forty years, these insects, which
were once a common sight in our gardens, are now in decline thanks
to habit loss, climate change and the use of pesticides. But do not
despair - there is a lot you can do to help improve their numbers!
Planting for Butterflies will show you how you can attract these
beautiful insects and help them to flourish by creating a
butterfly-friendly garden. No matter how small or large your space
- from a window ledge in the city to a country garden - Jane Moore
offers advice on the nectar-rich blooms to grow, and when and where
to plant them. This charmingly illustrated, practical guide will
set your garden a flutter.

Antislavery white clergy and their congregations. Radicalized
abolitionist women. African Americans committed to ending slavery
through constitutional political action. These diverse groups
attributed their common vision of a nation free from slavery to
strong political and religious values. Owen Lovejoy's gregarious
personality, formidable oratorical talent, probing political
analysis, and profound religious convictions made him the powerful
leader the coalition needed. Owen Lovejoy and the Coalition for
Equality examines how these three distinct groups merged their
agendas into a single antislavery, religious, political campaign
for equality with Lovejoy at the helm. Combining scholarly
biography, historiography, and primary source material, Jane Ann
Moore and William F. Moore demonstrate Lovejoy's crucial role in
nineteenth-century politics, the rise of antislavery sentiment in
religious spaces, and the emerging congressional commitment to end
slavery. Their compelling account explores how the immorality of
slavery became a touchstone of political and religious action in
the United States through the efforts of a synergetic coalition led
by an essential abolitionist figure.

What can be more convenient than being able to nip into the garden
to pick some salad for lunch, some herbs for the pot or some fresh
veg or fruit for dinner? Nothing beats the flavour of home-grown
produce, or, in these days of additives and preservatives, the
reassurance of knowing what is in your food. Contrary to popular
belief, you don't need an enormous garden, or a dedicated spot
within it to grow your own, nor do you need to join the mammoth
waiting lists for a local allotment; all you need is a window
ledge, some steps, a patio, some wall space or even some gaps in
your flower borders. In this handy book the team at Gardeners'
World Magazine will give you loads of tips on how to get started if
you've never grown fruit or vegetables before, suggest some fun and
practical ways you can grow your favourite crops in a limited space
or small garden, and tell you how to get the best from what you
grow. Growing your own has never been more popular or more simple,
and in this essential little guide, packed with inspirational ideas
and advice from Gardeners' World Magazine, everyone can get in on
the act. So what's stopping you now? Go on, grow your own grub!
The essays in this collection represent the explosion of scholarly
interest since the 1960s in the pioneering feminist, philosopher,
novelist, and political theorist, Mary Wollstonecraft. This
interdisciplinary selection, which is organized by theme and genre,
demonstrates Wollstonecraft's importance in contemporary social,
political and sexual theory and in Romantic studies. The book
examines the reception of Wollstonecraft's Vindication of the
Rights of Woman but it also deals with the full range of her work
from travel writing, education, religion and conduct literature to
her novels, letters and literary reviews. As well as reproducing
the most important modern Wollstonecraft scholarship the collection
tracks the development of the author's reputation from the
nineteenth century. The essays reprinted here (from early
appreciations by George Eliot, Emma Goldman and Virginia Woolf to
the work of twenty-first century scholars) include many of the most
influential accounts of Wollstonecraft's remarkable contribution to
the development of modern political and social thought. The book is
essential reading for students of Wollstonecraft and late
eighteenth-century women's writing, history, and politics.
