The fourteen contributors to this new collection of essays begin
with Ted Hughes's proposition that 'every child is nature's chance
to correct culture's error.' Established Hughes scholars alongside
new voices draw on a range of approaches to explore the intricate
relationships between the natural world and cultural environments -
political, as well as geographical - which his work unsettles.
Combining close readings of his encounters with animals and places,
and explorations of the poets who influenced him, these essays
reveal Ted Hughes as a writer we still urgently need. Hughes helps
us manage, in his words, 'the powers of the inner world and the
stubborn conditions of the other world, under which ordinary men
and women have to live'.

This book shows God's awesome power in today's chaotic world.
Power is strength, strong natural or moral abilities, potency,
possessing or exerting with great force, or an inward, God-given
gift. At the end of The Wizard of Oz, we learn that Dorothy
possesses the power to reach her happy destination, but didn't know
how to use it Such is the life of many Christians today. After the
resurrection, Jesus said the following to His disciples: "And Jesus
came and spoke unto them, saying, all power is given unto me in
heaven and in earth" (Matthew 28:18). This book tells how we can
effectively use the power that Jesus died and rose from the dead to
give us. In order to live a victorious, abundant life, we must
first be plugged in to the power source. This comes by receiving
Jesus as our personal Lord and Savior (being born again), being
baptized in water and of the Spirit, and be directed by God's Holy
Spirit through the awesome power of prayer When Dorothy finds
herself in the Land of Oz, she follows the instructions of the Good
Witch, uses the power she already possesses, and finds her way
home. Likewise, we can exercise the power we already possess by
following the commandments of the Good Shepherd (John 10:11)
Strangely, we can learn a lot from a fairy tale, can't we?

The first volume in a new series examines German foreign policy
towards Eastern Europe from 1890 to 1960, through a narrower focus
on its trade policy actions with Poland, Czechoslovakia, and
Imperial Russia/Soviet Union.

Should policemen be armed? Do they want to be? How fair is police
interrogation? Are the police too tough on demonstrators? How often
are the guilty acquitted? Do we get the police force we deserve?
Originally published in 1977, Sir Robert Mark considers these and
many other issues. His period as Commissioner of the Metropolitan
Police Force would mark something of an epoch, not only because of
the challenge of brutal terrorism or his success as a leader, but
because he was a bold innovator, thoughtful and articulate, whose
work could be readily assessed because he believed in 'telling the
public all you can' (the official memorandum on this appears here
as an appendix). One change affecting the CID, described in this
book, is characterised by Sir Robert himself as the most important
single change since the Metropolitan Police was founded by his
namesake Sir Robert Peel. The opening chapter describes the
organisation and functioning of this country's police at the time,
the way in which they epitomise and are restricted by a free
society and alone see the whole picture of criminal justice - in a
sense here Sir Robert speaks over the heads of the legal profession
to the public. The next important chapter contains the first open
discussion of modern police-army cooperation in this country, but
Sir Robert emphasises that a democratic society cannot be
controlled by force and that the police exist for the maintenance
of public order, irrespective of party, of sectional interests and
of the government of the day. They are an example of the British
genius for successful institutional compromise. Subsequent chapters
examine these themes in more detail and from different angles;
discuss manpower limitations and maldistribution; emphasise how the
individual police officer, man or woman, is the anvil on which
society beats out the problems of social inequality, racial
prejudice and ghettoes, weak and ineffectual legislation. There are
chapters on violence and on that London speciality, the
demonstration. In the author's view, the police officer, daily
thrown back on his understanding of basic Christian precepts, has
now left his Victorian 'artisan status' far behind - and the
present Metropolitan Commissioner compels consideration of the
police officer's point of view.
This book underscores the importance of moving beyond lip service
or hollow platitudes to mobilize and expand the capacity of social
justice movements to foster policy change and incubate new programs
at the local, state, and federal levels. In the wake of global
protests spurred by acts of police brutality in the United States,
present-day problematic policing and racial injustice in Black and
Brown communities surged to the forefront of political discourse in
recent years. Institutionalized backlash politics, which emerged
during the post-Civil Rights era, perpetuated and further
exacerbated generations-long racial disparities and stymied
systemic change. This edited volume describes pilot programs and
community-based initiatives that show promise as tools for equity
and racial justice in Black and Brown communities. This book will
be of great value to scholars and academics interested in racism,
justice, community development and social work. The chapters in
this book were originally published in the Journal of Community
Practice.
The second edition of Qualitative Research Methods for Community
Development teaches the basic skills, tools, and methods of
qualitative research with special attention to the needs of
community practitioners. This book teaches students entering
planning, community development, nonprofit management, social work,
and similar applied fields the core skills necessary to conduct
systematic research designed to empower communities and promote
social change. Focusing on the basic elements of qualitative
research, such as field observation, interviewing, focus groups,
and content analysis, this second edition of this book provides an
overview of core methods and theoretical underpinnings of
successful research. It also includes two new chapters on
qualitative data analysis software and techniques for conducting
online qualitative interviews and focus groups. From housing,
community organizing, neighborhood planning, and urban
revitalization, this book gives students the skills they need to
undertake their own projects and provides professionals a valuable
reference for their future research. This book serves as a primary
text for courses in applied qualitative research and as a reference
book for professionals and community-based researchers.
Given the rapid urbanisation of the world's population, the
converse phenomenon of shrinking cities is often overlooked and
little understood. Yet with almost one in ten post-industrial US
cities shrinking in recent years, efforts by government and anchor
institutions to regenerate these cities is gaining policy urgency,
with the availability and siting of affordable housing being a key
concern. This is the first book to look at the reasons for the
failure (and success) of affordable housing experiences in the
fastest shrinking cities in the US. Applying quantitative and GIS
analysis using data from the US Department of Housing and Urban
Development, the authors make recommendations for future
place-based siting practices, stressing its importance for ensuring
more equitable urban revitalisation. The book will be a valuable
resource for academic researchers and students in urban studies,
housing and inequality, as well as policy makers.
This study, first published in 1979, continues by examining the
question of whether a competitive economy can efficiently allocate
a stock of non-renewable natural resources through time. Long-run
analyses of competitive economies with such resources have
concluded that, without perfect foresight or a complete set of
future markets extending infinitely far into the future, there is
no economic mechanism to guarantee that the initial price is set so
that the economy converges to the socially desirable path of
balanced growth. This title will be of interest to students of
environmental and natural resource economics.
There are many aspects of life which require us to distinguish
between memories of different events, such as deciding whether you
locked the door or only intended to lock the door. Source
monitoring, or identifying the source of a particular memory (was
the event experienced? related by someone else? or simply
imagined?) is a cognitive skill that develops across the life span.
In this book, the first to integrate research on children's source
monitoring, readers will find an accessible overview of
source-monitoring theory and findings from the research programs of
leading investigators in this area. The programs of research cut
across different methodologies (e.g., nomothetic, individual
differences, clinical) and are applied to a wide range of issues in
children's lives. Particular emphasis is placed on the effects of
source monitoring on eyewitness memory and identification, learning
and knowledge, and the development of a theory of mind.
New research in community development shows that institutions
matter. Where the private sector disinvests from the inner city,
public and nonprofit institutions step in and provide engines to
economic revitalization and promote greater equity in society.
Schools and Urban Revitalization collects emerging research in this
field, with special interest in new school-neighborhood
partnerships that lead today's most vibrant policy responses to
urban blight.
