This book explores the complex ways in which belonging, identity
and time are entangled in shaping young people engagement with the
middle years of school. The authors argue that these
'entanglements' need to be understood in ways that move beyond a
focus on why individual young people engage with the middle years.
Instead, there should be a focus on the socio-ecologies of
particular places, and the ways in which these ecologies shape the
possibilities of young people engaging productively in the middle
years. Drawing on extensive qualitative data from an outer-urban
metropolitan context, this book will appeal to scholars of
sociology, education and policy studies.
The Anthropocene is, firstly, a discourse of the earth systems
sciences. However, if humans - in all their historical, cultural,
social, economic and political diversity - are differently
implicated in the emergence and consequences of the Anthropocene,
then Childhood and Youth Studies must critically engage with, and
contribute to, debates about these planetary wide changes and their
consequences for children and young people. Well-being, resilience,
and enterprise are keywords in many policy, academic and community
discourses about contemporary populations of children and young
people around the globe. Most often these key-words take the form
of psycho-biological based encouragements for young people to care
for their own physical, mental and social health and well-being, to
develop their resilience, and to become enterprising in a world
that is taken-for-granted as being challenging and disruptive. This
collection brings a multi-disciplinary focus to discussions about
children and young people's well-being, resilience, and enterprise
to develop new ways of troubling these keywords at a time when
planetary systems - atmospheric, oceanic, terran, capitalist - are
in crisis.
From the story of Rhode Island's first colonist (who contrary to
your elementary-school history book wasn't Roger Williams) to the
revolutionary precursors to the Boston Tea Party to the wedding of
Jack and Jackie Kennedy, It Happened in Rhode Island captures some
the great events in American History and the history of the small,
but fascinating, Ocean State.

"From God To Verse" is a faithful line-by-line translation of the
Five Books of Moses -- Genesis, Exodus, Leviticus, Numbers, and
Deuteronomy -- into verse. The content of the original is all
there, but the language has been modernized for greater
accessibility, and presented in iambic heptameter. The book also
contains a child-friendly summary of each chapter, written in 4-8
lines of iambic tetrameter that precede each chapter's main text.
The book is, essentially, a Torah/Bible that has been made
friendlier without losing a single line of content. Four sources
were used in creating this translation: 1) The Five Books of Moses,
by Everett Fox (Schocken Books) 2) The JPS (Jewish Publication
Society) Torah - (1962 edition) 3) New Oxford Annotated Bible with
Apocrypha (expanded edition, revised standard version). 4) King
James Version Bible
