Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not
used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad
quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are
images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to
keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the
original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain
imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made
available for future generations to enjoy.

In the early 1800s, Paddy Colman works on a newspaper set up by the
English navy when they occupy Montevideo. An Irish Catholic, he
visits the cathedral regularly and soon falls in love with Tereza,
a striking woman he sees there regularly. When the navy leaves to
retake Buenos Aires, Paddy and Tereza go to her hometown. Here he
meets her best friend Ana and Ana's lover, Juan Lavalleja. News
arrives that the English have met defeat in Buenos Aires and have
left for home. Paddy is marooned. Six years later, Paddy and Tereza
are married and have two children. Ana is distraught as Juan has
left to fight in Captain Artigas's revolutionary army against the
Spanish. The rebels besiege Montevideo, and Argentina sends allies.
Desperate, the Spanish governor calls on Portugal for help, and
Brazil sends a force so large it cannot be defeated. A treaty is
signed. To Artigas, this is a defeat. He leaves the county and
takes most of its citizens in a great exodus. Along the way,
Tereza's brother Luis drowns in the Rio Uruguay. But soon Artigas
and the Argentines return. The Spanish are driven out, but now
Argentina stays to occupy the land. Artigas works to unite the
other provinces against Buenos Aires in a grand republic, and
surprisingly, during this time, the Uruguayans drive Argentina from
their soil. Just as quickly Brazil returns and retakes the land.
Juan is carried away to Rio as a prisoner. Years later, when he
returns, he and thirty-two other men begin a final drive of
liberation. Paddy's son Luis now joins the fight, and Paddy also
goes, ostensibly to protect his son. He is lying. It is to atone
for his reluctance to fight earlier. Three more years pass by and
the ultimate victory is won and all is rejoicing. But now the
English are back to try Paddy for desertion.
How and why does restorative practice (RP) work? This book presents
the biological theory, affect script psychology (ASP), behind RP,
and shows how it works in practice in different settings. ASP
explains how the central nervous system triggers 'affects' which
are the basis of all human motivation and emotion. The book
presents a clear explanation of what ASP is, how it relates to RP,
and how ASP helps practitioners to understand relationships,
emotions and dynamics in their work. The chapters are based around
case studies which demonstrate RP in criminal justice,
organizational and education settings. They show how theory links
to practice, and how having a deep understanding of the theory has
helped practitioners to be successful in their work. Providing an
accessible explanation of how RP works, this book will be
invaluable to all RP practitioners in any setting, as well as RP
students and academics.
