How can knowledge be reconfigured so as to enhance experience, enable participation, and augment environments? "Shaping Knowledge" argues that knowledge is a product of human activity in a social space, and as a result is a formative resource. The book takes a step beyond information visualisation and imagines a learning environment in which knowledge can be manipulated as an object. Practical examples from the domains of health, education, travel, museums and libraries are offered, and chapters cover knowledge and space, unpredictability and authorship, as well as agility, ubiquity and mobility.

It's hard to imagine cows walking up Third Street or sheep on Innes Avenue, yet a large portion of the area known today as Bayview Hunters Point was once extremely rural. Called Butchertown by locals, the neighborhood was a source of much of San Francisco's food. Over the years, it evolved into an interesting combination of residences, businesses, and industries. The area was home to slaughterhouses, tanneries, tallow works, a saddle shop, the Bethlehem Steel Corporation, numerous boat yards including the legendary Allemand Brothers Boat Repair, and the U.S. Naval operations at Hunters Point Shipyard. Alongside these entities lived thousands of residents with unique stories and lifestyles.

A vibrant, evocative and magical debut which centres a positive, empowered disabled character at the heart of a reimagining of Little Red Riding Hood. The woods are hiding a secret… but then so is Red… Red is not allowed to go into the woods. Everyone knows that they are dangerous – because of their strange magic and the wolves that lurk there… But Red finds herself increasingly drawn to the woods and the place where her grandmother disappeared without a trace three years ago. When the woodcutter fails to return home one night and wolves are spotted close to the village boundary, fear drives a deep and dangerous divide between the villagers and the nature they live alongside. Only Red seems to hold the key – but she has a secret, and exposing it could ruin her family forever …

Churchill. Hitler. Stalin. Mussolini. Roosevelt. Five of the most impactful leaders of WW2, each with their own individualistic and idiosyncratic approach to warfare. But if we want to understand their military strategy, we must first understand the strategist.

In THE STRATEGISTS, Professor Phillips Payson O'Brien shows how the views these five leaders forged in WW1 are crucial to understanding how they fought WW2. For example, Churchill's experiences of facing the German Army in France in 1916 made him unwilling to send masses of British soldiers back there in the 1940s, while Hitler's mistakes on the Eastern Front were influenced by his reluctance to accept that conditions had changed since his own time fighting.

The implications of the power of leaders remain with us to this day: to truly understand what is happening in Ukraine, for example, requires us to know what has influenced the leaders involved.

This is a history in which leaders – and their choices – matter. For better or worse.

A love letter to a community of Trappist monks who provided family when it was needed the most. This warmhearted memoir describes how a small, insecure boy with a vibrant imagination found an unlikely family in the company of monks at Holy Trinity Abbey, in the mountains of rural Latter-day Saint Utah. Struggling with his parents' recent divorce, Michael O'Brien discovered a community filled with warmth, humor, idiosyncrasies, and most of all, listening ears. Filled with anecdotes and delightful "behind the scenes" descriptions of his experiences living alongside the monks as they farmed, prayed, buried their dead, ate, and shared the joys of life, Monastery Mornings speaks to the value of spiritual fatherhood, the lasting impact of positive mentoring, and the stability that the spiritual life can offer to people of all ages and walks of life.

This book has been written in a kind of poetic style that Rosaleen has made her own. One American reader has compared her writing as 'balladeer' and indeed her work has been favorably reviewed over the years. This best selling author has received many awards - one being invited to the White House when Bill Clinton was President to read her poetry. Written with wisdom and wit this book 'Camilla Future Queen' can adorn any home, library or University. Indeed it is a positive addition to the mass produced material that adorn our bookshelves today. This author writes in a positive way encouraging the reader to look inside our Constitution and the part that the Monarchy play. One thing for sure the Monarchy will always have a place in our heart. There are obstacles at times, amid the turmoil of Palace staff relationships, and the banter downstairs from junior members of staff all creating an amazing story, making Rosaleen's writing awesome and profoundly interesting. Enjoy...
