"Exposed" is a collection of poetry written by John McCarthy,
first as therapy and then as an outlet for a vast expanse of
emotions. His perspective has been shaped by thirty years of police
and investigation experience and by being an avid hunter and nature
enthusiast. This collection is the culmination of a four-year
journey that begins with despair over a broken marriage and ends in
redemption. It's an honest reflection of life's experiences and of
a search for a higher calling.
This poetic journey begins with "Something's Wrong," in which
two strangers in a long marriage pass each other as life goes by.
They know everything about each other, but they do not really know
the things that matter-particularly how to say the things that need
to be said. The author's melancholy path takes us through periods
of reflection and self-pity, but it closes on a note of
hopefulness.
"Exposed" reveals the poet's enlightenment and purpose-his love
of the mountains and the sea, and inspiration passing through old,
lonely country towns that time has forgotten. Experience the world
through McCarthy's eyes and words: the tragic, the sadness, the
lonely, the joy, the redemption, and the beauty.
How do we educate so all can learn? What does differentiation look
like when done successfully? This practical guide to
differentiation answers these questions and more. Based on national
and international work, McCarthy shares how educators finally
understand how differentiation can work. Bridging pedagogy and
practice, each chapter addresses a key understanding for how good
teaching practices can include differentiation with examples and
concrete methods and strategies. The book is constructed to
differentiate for diverse educators: veteran of many years to the
pre-service teacher, classroom teacher leader to administrator as
instructional leader, and coaches for staff professional
development: *Presents common language for staff discussing learner
needs. *Provides structures for designing powerful learning
experiences so all can learn. *Includes chapter reflection
questions and job-embedded tasks to help readers process and
practice what they learn. *Explore a supporting website with
companion resources. All learners deserve growth. All teachers and
administrators deserve methods and practices that helps them to

In the past decade, urban regeneration policy makers and
practitioners have faced a number of difficult challenges, such as
sustainability, budgetary constraints, demands for community
involvement and rapid urbanization in the Global South. Urban
regeneration remains a high profile and important field of
government-led intervention, and policy and practice continue to
adapt to the fresh challenges and opportunities of the 21st
century, as well as confronting long standing intractable urban
problems and dilemmas. This Companion provides cutting edge
critical review and synthesis of recent conceptual, policy and
practical developments within the field. With contributions from 70
international experts within the field, it explores the meaning of
'urban regeneration' in differing national contexts, asking
questions and providing informed discussion and analyses to
illuminate how an apparently disparate field of research, policy
and practice can be rendered coherent, drawing out common themes
and significant differences. The Companion is divided into six
sections, exploring: globalization and neo-liberal perspectives on
urban regeneration; emerging reconceptualizations of regeneration;
public infrastructure and public space; housing and cosmopolitan
communities; community centred regeneration; and culture-led
regeneration. The concluding chapter considers the future of urban
regeneration and proposes a nine-point research agenda. This
Companion assembles a diversity of approaches and insights in one
comprehensive volume to provide a state of the art review of the
field. It is a valuable resource for both advanced undergraduate
and postgraduate students in Urban Planning, Built Environment,
Urban Studies and Urban Regeneration, as well as academics,
practitioners and politicians.
For religious persons, the notion of human being is tied
inextricably to the notion of God (or the gods) and turns on this
question: what is human being? How did we, with our almost infinite
capacities for thought, change, and domination, come to be? Imbued
with powers far beyond any other animal, humans are too faulty to
be considered gods themselves. Yet, the idea of God (or the gods)
appears in all distinctive human cultures: it names the other pole
of human-it designates a being who realizes perfectly our
imperfectly realized nature. With the rise of new sciences come
ancient anxieties about how we should define human being. In the
nineteenth century, electricity and magnetism fascinated experts
and captivated the lay public. In the twenty-first century,
advances in neuroscience open up vast new possibilities of
mimicking, and perhaps emulating human being. In this book twelve
scholars and scientists ask what-if anything-distinguishes Brain
from Mind, and Mind from Self and Soul.

Approaches to urban regeneration have changed dramatically
throughout Europe and the USA over recent decades, drawing on
notions of public-private partnership, growth coalitions and local
spatial alliances. In this engaging book John McCarthy provides
critical consideration of such theories in terms of their
application to practice. He shows how these notions are used to
explain the nature and underlying processes of urban development
and to further objectives for urban regeneration. To test their
applicability, he examines the case of Dundee, including the role
of the Dundee Partnership, a model for many aspects of partnership
working. The resulting conclusions suggest ways in which the
practice of urban regeneration can be improved in terms of
inclusion, equity and sustainability.
Many observers have pointed out what is wrong with youth sport: an
emphasis on winning at all costs; parental over-involvement; high
participation costs that exclude many families; lack of vigorous
physical activity; lack of player engagement; and no focus on
development. Currently, most attempts at righting the wrongs of
youth sport have focused on coach education and curriculum, but in
this book, the authors offer a different approach-one that involves
changing the game itself. Re-Designing Youth Sport combines vivid
examples and case studies of innovative sport programs who are
re-designing their sport with a comprehensive toolkit for
practitioners on how to change their game for bigger and better
outcomes. It offers a fresh and exciting perspective on the
seemingly intractable issues in sport. It presents a practical and
empowering pathway for readers to apply the examples and tools to
the outcomes that they aspire to achieve in their sport, such as
increased fun and excitement, life-skills building, gender
inclusion, increased sportspersonship, greater parity and avoidance
of one-sided competition, and positive parental roles. The book
also reveals how community leagues as well as national and
international sport governing bodies are using re-design to
accelerate player skill development, tactical awareness, and
physical fitness.

Selected by Victoria Chang as winner of the Jake Adam York Prize,
John McCarthy's Scared Violent Like Horses is a deeply personal
examination of violent masculinity, driven by a yearning for more
compassionate ways of being. McCarthy's flyover country is
populated by a family strangled by silence: a father drunk and mute
in the passenger seat, a mother sinking into bed like a dish at the
bottom of a sink, and a boy whose friends play punch-for-punch for
fun. He shows us a boy struggling to understand pain carried down
through generations and how quickly abandonment becomes a silent
kind of violence; "how we deny each other, daily, so many chances
to care," and how "we didn't know how to talk about loss, / so we
made each other lose." Constant throughout is the brutality of the
Midwestern landscape that, like the people who inhabit it, turns
out to be beautiful in its vulnerability: sedgegrass littered with
plastic bags floating like ghosts, dilapidated houses with
abandoned Fisher Price toys in the yard, and silos of dirt and rust
under a sky that struggles to remember the ground below. With
arresting lyricism and humility, Scared Violent Like Horses attends
to the insecurities that hide at the heart of what's been turned
harsh, offering a smoldering but redemptive and tender view of the
lost, looked over, and forgotten.

Experience-centered design, experience-based design, experience
design, designing for experience, user experience design. All of
these terms have emerged and gained acceptance in the
Human-Computer Interaction (HCI) and Interaction Design relatively
recently. In this book, we set out our understanding of
experience-centered design as a humanistic approach to designing
digital technologies and media that enhance lived experience. The
book is divided into three sections. In Section 1, we outline the
historical origins and basic concepts that led into and flow out
from our understanding of experience as the heart of people's
interactions with digital technology. In Section 2, we describe
three examples of experience-centered projects and use them to
illustrate and explain our dialogical approach. In Section 3, we
recapitulate some of the main ideas and themes of the book and
discuss the potential of experience-centered design to continue the
humanist agenda by giving a voice to those who might otherwise be
excluded from design and by creating opportunities for people to
enrich their lived experience with and through technology. Table of
Contents: How Did We Get Here? / Some Key Ideas Behind
Experience-Centered Design / Making Sense of Experience in
Experience-Centered Design / Experience-Centered Design as Dialogue
/ What do We Mean by Dialogue? / Valuing Experience-Centered Design
/ Where Do We Go from Here?

but will make you look and feel like 007. Features short essays on
each subject, with classic illustrations accompanying each, all in
a handsome package that will evoke thoughts of a trusted old
leather-bound book.
