Born Deaf into an ASL-speaking family and blind by adolescence,
John Lee Clark learned to embrace the possibilities of his tactile
world. He is on the frontlines of the Protactile movement, which
gave birth to an unprecedented tactile language and a way of life
based on physical connection. In a series of paradigm-shifting
essays, Clark reports on seismic developments within the DeafBlind
community. In “Against Access”, he interrogates the prevailing
advocacy for “accessibility” that re-creates a shadow of a
hearing-sighted experience. In the National Magazine
Award–winning “Tactile Art”, he describes his relationship to
visual art and encounters with tactile sculpture. He advocates for
“Co-Navigation”, a new way of guiding that respects DeafBlind
agency, and offers a brief history of the term “DeafBlind”. As
warm and witty as he is radical and inspiring, Clark welcomes
readers into the exciting Protactile landscape and celebrates the
hidden knowledge that can be gained through touch.

From the bestselling author Ken Follett, The Evening and the
Morning is a historical epic that will end where The Pillars of the
Earth begins. A Time of Conflict It is 997 CE, the end of the Dark
Ages, and England faces attacks from the Welsh in the west and the
Vikings in the east. Life is hard, and those with power wield it
harshly, bending justice according to their will - often in
conflict with the king. With his grip on the country fragile and
with no clear rule of law, chaos and bloodshed reign. Three Lives
Intertwined Into this uncertain world three people come to the
fore: a young boatbuilder, who dreams of a better future when a
devastating Viking raid shatters the life that he and the woman he
loves hoped for; a Norman noblewoman, who follows her beloved
husband across the sea to a new land only to find her life there
shockingly different; and a capable monk at Shiring Abbey, who
dreams of transforming his humble abbey into a centre of learning
admired throughout Europe. The Dawn of a New Age Now, with England
at the dawn of the Middle Ages, these three people will each come
into dangerous conflict with a ruthless bishop, who will do
anything to increase his wealth and power, in an epic tale of
ambition and rivalry, death and birth, and love and hate. Thirty
years ago we were introduced to Kingsbridge in The Pillars of the
Earth, and now in this masterful prequel international bestseller
Ken Follett will take us on a journey into a rich past, which will
end where his masterpiece begins.

The psychotherapy and counselling profession has recently
experienced far-reaching changes because of the development of
evidence-based medicine and managed care systems. The Future of
Psychological Therapy brings together leading counsellors,
psychotherapists, psychological therapists and managers to address
how these changes are beginning to affect all aspects of the
psychotherapy and counselling profession. It evaluates the impact
of these developments, shows how they affect practitioner's
capacity to care, anticipates future developments and offers a
coherent and viable approach to research and practice. The book
draws on psychotherapeutic theory to develop insight into managed
care and engages in qualitative microphenonena research into the
complexities of clinical practice drawing on cutting edge
developments. It aims to establish a balanced counselling and
psychotherapy profession by: opening up a debate about these
far-reaching developments which threaten the profession,
challenging the rhetoric of accountability, audit, transparency and
measurement of care, exposing the danger of sleeping through these
momentous changes in the counselling and psychotherapy profession.
The Future of Psychological Therapy is a timely and important book,
examining the psychotherapy profession's approach to managed care
and evidence-based research, and discussing whether a balanced,
coherent and viable counselling and psychotherapy research and
practice culture can be established. It will be of interest to
practitioners, academics and policy makers in the field,
non-clinical professionals and anyone who is interested in
psychological therapy and addressing the worldwide deterioration in
psychological health.

Practitioner-Based Research is concerned, in particular, with the
research which is undertaken by healthcare practitioners and the
evidence which they generate as a result of investigating their
practice. In so doing it recognizes that, as well as working in
academic life, practitioner researchers are often working as
practitioners outside the Academy. It argues that the work of
practitioner researchers has a significant contribution to make to
healthcare research and so needs to be disseminated further in
order to create balanced research communities within the healthcare
professions. This book will help academic researchers to broaden
the limited ontological and epistemological perspectives of their
research. It will also encourage healthcare practitioners who have
not been trained academically to develop their research skills and
to realize that they are actually researching in their practice on
a day-to-day basis. Finally, it will provide a degree of
transparency about therapeutic processes to help clients and
patients to see aspects of professional practice and development
which are usually hidden from them.
Formally restless and relentlessly instructive, How to Communicate
is a dynamic journey through language, community, and the unfolding
of an identity. Poet John Lee Clark pivots from inventive forms
inspired by the Braille slate to sensuous prose poems to incisive
erasures that find new narratives in nineteenth-century poetry.
Calling out the limitations of the literary canon, Clark includes
pathbreaking translations from American Sign Language and
Protactile, a language built on touch. How to Communicate embraces
new linguistic possibilities that emanate from Clark’s unique
perspective and his connection to an expanding, inclusive activist
community. Amid the astonishing task of constructing a new canon,
the poet reveals a radically commonplace life. He explores grief
and the vagaries of family, celebrates the small delights of
knitting and visiting a museum, and, once, encounters a ghost in a
gas station. Counteracting the assumptions of the sighted and
hearing world with humor and grace, Clark finds beauty in the
revelations of communicating through touch: “All things living
and dead cry out to me / when I touch them.” A rare work of
transformation and necessary discovery, How to
Communicate is a brilliant debut that insists on the power of
poetry.
Focusing on the core subjects of Mathematics, English and Science, the book addresses the political agenda in which the core curriculum takes place, and provides practical information and guidance on teaching the three subjects. The book briefly traces the history of these core subjects, examines what is meant by 'curriculum knowledge', takes apart the classroom and educational issues before offering advice on handling curriculum change and tackling new approaches to teaching. It helps teachers develop their skills through enquiry tasks, case studies, questions and suggested further reading.
Professional counselling practice is full of complexities and subtleties, yet the richness of clinical counselling still receives insufficient recognition in the literature and in public opinion. In the light of the current professionalization of counselling, Clinical Counselling in Context: An Introduction examines the hypothesis that counselling theory and practice is altered by the specific organizational context in which it takes place - the consequence of which is that context is an important force for therapeutic change. It also argues that, with careful professionalization and a well-thought-out academic base, counselling can be a sophisticated activity which is not just the poor neighbour of psychotherapy.

The distinctive contribution of volunteer clergy has never been
more important to the church than it is today. SSMs are wonderfully
non-standard. They have a range of motivations, working patterns
and training needs, and are deployed in a wide variety of ways.
Sometimes under-used, sometimes overworked, they are often offered
few opportunities for role development after their ministry begins.
They may feel unrecognized and under-supported, with church leaders
making wrong assumptions about their ability and willingness to be
involved. But as the church turns increasingly to its volunteer
minsters, there are encouraging signs of more creative deployment
of this great resource. John Lees' lively, authoritative guide -
featuring many stories and case studies - will be welcomed by those
already involved in, and those considering, this ministry.
Celebrating the gradual reinvention of SSM, it offers strategies to
greatly improve working practice for those in an associate role.
This book is concerned, in particular, with the research which is
undertaken by healthcare practitioners and the evidence which they
generate as a result of investigating their practice. In so doing
it recognizes that, as well as working in academic life,
practitioner researchers are often working as practitioners outside
the Academy. It argues that the work of practitioner researchers
has a signifi cant contribution to make to healthcare research and
so needs to be disseminated further in order to create balanced
research communities within the healthcare professions.It takes the
view that the work of practitioner researchers has a contribution
to make to the work of all people involved in healthcare helping
academic researchers to broaden the limited ontological and
epistemological perspectives of their research. It can also
encourage healthcare practitioners who have not been trained
academically to develop their research skills and to realize that
they are actually researching into their practice on a day-to-day
basis. Finally, it can provide a degree of transparency about
therapeutic processes to help clients and patients to see aspects
of professional practice and development which are usually hidden
from them.The contributors cover a range of themes which address
the above issues, such as the limitations of academic life and
conventional medical models, ethics, the importance of imaginative
writing and the use of story, metaphor, myth and the importance of
personal transformation in the professional development of
healthcare workers and the relevance of belief and spirituality to
healthcare research.
The idea of corporate social responsibility may seem like a recent
trend, but the previously unpublished historical documents on
Cambridge’s sophisticated urban property market reveal that
businesses have been practicing what is sometimes referred to as
“Compassionate Capitalism” for nearly a thousand years. This
transdisciplinary study presents an invaluable contribution to our
knowledge of the early phases of capitalism.
A definitive natural history of the Yorkshire Dales, covering the
range of wildlife habitats, rich cultural heritage and ecological
history of one of our best-loved National Parks. The Yorkshire
Dales National Park is a special place: its outstanding scenery and
the diversity of habitats is perhaps unrivalled in any other
National Park in Britain. This rich biodiversity has been a great
attraction to naturalists for over two centuries. But to fully
appreciate the present-day plant and animal communities, their
status and the constraints upon them, it is important to understand
the geology and landscape history of the National Park, including
the role that human populations have played in modifying the
environment. In this long-anticipated New Naturalist volume, John
Lee introduces the National Park, exploring both its geology and
geomorphology, and describing the role of early naturalists and the
Yorkshire Naturalists Union in recording and understanding the
natural history of the Dales. He describes the major habitats or
groups of habitats which underline the ecological importance of the
Dales. Lee covers the earliest settlement times to the modern day,
and he focuses in particular on the most iconic plant of the Dales,
the Lady's Slipper Orchid, arguably the rarest of native British
plants, which until recently was thought to be confined to a single
plant in the Dales. Lee takes a historical approach, describing its
near eradication and early attempts to conserve it - including the
establishment of a secret society - concluding with recent
scientific conservation approaches.
