Publishing, Editing, and Reception is a collection of twelve essays
honoring Professor Donald H. Reiman, who moved to the University of
Delaware in 1992. The essays, written by friends, students, and
collaborators, reflect the scholarly interests that defined
Reiman's long career. Mirroring the focus of Reiman's work during
his years at Carl H. Pforzheimer Library in New York and as lead
editor of Shelley and his Circle, 1773-1822 (Harvard University
Press), the essays in this collection explore authors such as Mary
Shelley, William Hazlitt, Lord Byron and Percy Bysshe Shelley;
moreover, they confirm the continuing influence of Reiman's
writings in the fields of editing and British Romanticism. Ranging
from topics such as Byron's relationship with his publisher John
Murray and the reading practices in the Shelley circle to Rudyard
Kipling's response to Shelley's politics, these essays draw on a
dazzling variety of published and manuscript sources while engaging
directly with many of Reiman's most influential theories and
arguments.

In this visionary book, written by six internationally recognized
Global Teacher Prize finalists, the authors create a positive and
hope-filled template for the future of education. They address the
hard moral, ethical and pedagogical questions facing education

on the front line. It is a holistic, personalized approach to
education that harnesses the disruptions of the Fourth Industrial
Revolution to better shape the future for the next generation, and
ensure that every child can benefit from the ongoing
transformations. A great read for anyone who has an interest in
educating our youth for these uncertain times, highlighting why
teachers will always matter.

When looking at old pictures of Toronto, it is clear that the
city’s urban, economic, and social geography has changed
dramatically over the generations. Historic photos of Toronto’s
streetcar network offer a unique opportunity to examine how the
city has been transformed from a provincial, industrial city into
one of North America’s largest and most diverse regions.
Streetcars and the Shifting Geographies of Toronto studies the
city’s urban transformations through an analysis of photographs
taken by streetcar enthusiasts, beginning in the 1960s. These
photographers did not intend to record the urban form, function, or
social geographies of Toronto; they were "accidental archivists"
whose main goal was to photograph the streetcars themselves. But
today, their images render visible the ordinary, day-to-day life in
the city in a way that no others did. These historic photographs
show a Toronto before gentrification, globalization, and
deindustrialization. Each image has been re-photographed to provide
fresh insights into a city that is in a constant state of flux.
With gorgeous illustrations, this unique book offers an
understanding of how Toronto has changed, and the reasons behind
these urban shifts. The visual exploration of historic and
contemporary images from different parts of the city helps to
explain how the major forces shaping the city affect its form,
functions, neighbourhoods, and public spaces.
Training for the Human Service field can be a daunting task. This
book is meant to be supplemental reading for those studying for a
career in the numerous support fields or anyone volunteering in
outreach programs. You do not have to be paid to give support.
Learn how to give it with an open mind and not just to those you
consider worthy of help. The references in this book come from life
and the experiences that I have had working as a personal support
worker. They are written in laymen's terms, curses and all, and
hopefully, will be user friendly and more engaging to read than
paragraphs of mere facts and terms. Some things and events were
disturbing but they have all taught me something.
