Endovascular Neurosurgery represents a unique collaboration between
contributors from a number of specialties, all of whom are
concerned with the management of cerebrovascular disease. This
provides a balanced account of the efficacy of interventional
endovascular techniques in this group of conditions. As a result,
Endovascular Neurosurgery will prove an invaluable account of a
relatively new specialty and will be essential reading for
neurosurgeons, neurologists, neuroradiologists, neurophysiologists
and neuroanaesthetists.
Drawing on his personal fascinating story as a prosecutor, a
defendant, and an observer of the legal process, Paul Butler offers
a sharp and engaging critique of our criminal justice system. He
argues against discriminatory drug laws and excessive police power
and shows how our policy of mass incarceration erodes communities
and perpetuates crime. Controversially, he supports jury
nullification--or voting "not guilty" out of principle--as a way
for everyday people to take a stand against unfair laws, and he
joins with the "Stop Snitching" movement, arguing that the reliance
on informants leads to shoddy police work and distrust within
communities. Butler offers instead a "hip hop theory of justice,"
parsing the messages about crime and punishment found in urban
music and culture. Butler's argument is powerful, edgy, and
incisive.

We Welcome You is a three-part baptism preparation course to help
parishes prepare families for their child's baptism and to discover
the joyful start of a lifelong journey of faith. Drawing on
extensive research with families, the course helps parishes to
engage families with practical tips on welcome and on helping
children and families prepare well for this significant spiritual
moment. We Welcome You can be used with small groups or with
individual families, but there are also options for using the
material in a single session and even at a home visit. Containing
all the resources necessary, it covers every aspect of this vital
ministry and aims to enrich pastoral practice and, importantly, the
experience of families. Session 1 helps families to reflect on why
they want their child baptized, the importance of godparents, and
the deeper meaning of baptism. Session 2 looks at the baptism
service itself and the promises made at it, and explores the key
symbols and their significance. Session 3 encourages families to
continue on their spiritual journey, with ideas for praying with
their child, reading Bible stories together and becoming part of a
local church community. Informal and participative, the course
offers a wide range of approaches including icebreaker activities
and discussion starters, storytelling, reflection and discussion,
crafts, quizzes and games. All handouts are photocopiable.
The Dream Weavers Daughter is an allegorical fantasy that follows a
young girl named Suena on a Dream Quest of self-discovery. Only by
successfully completing the quest will she be able to succeed her
father as Dream Weaver and be the first female ever to do so. Her
evil cousin Coveto and the spirit of his dead father, Malevo, throw
obstacles in her way which she must overcome while following the
Weaver's Creed: "Whenever you help someone else, in the end, you
help yourself." It is intended for middle school readers but is a
very layered story that will involve readers of all ages. Because
of its liberal use of similes, metaphors, alliterations, and other
writing conventions, The Dream Weaver's Daughter can be useful as a
teaching tool for educators.
