How and why does restorative practice (RP) work? This book presents the biological theory, affect script psychology (ASP), behind RP, and shows how it works in practice in different settings. ASP explains how the central nervous system triggers 'affects' which are the basis of all human motivation and emotion. The book presents a clear explanation of what ASP is, how it relates to RP, and how ASP helps practitioners to understand relationships, emotions and dynamics in their work. The chapters are based around case studies which demonstrate RP in criminal justice, organizational and education settings. They show how theory links to practice, and how having a deep understanding of the theory has helped practitioners to be successful in their work. Providing an accessible explanation of how RP works, this book will be invaluable to all RP practitioners in any setting, as well as RP students and academics.

After the dust settles on Adria's chaotic return to her homeland, a death puts events in motion that could end her happily ever after. An encounter with a seer puts Adria in the precarious position of choosing between obligations as queen and righting a terrible injustice in a foreign land. Can Adria find the balance to do the right thing, and do so without jeopardizing her own happiness.... and life? Second part of the Fire Flower Trilogy.

Helvandon-a land in turmoil beneath the tyrannical rule of the evil king Dietrich, Adria's own uncle who is sitting on a throne that should rightfully have been hers; an uncle who would gladly see her dead, just as he saw her parents dead before Adria's guardian, the woman Adria calls Grandmother, whisked her away to the safe life of an anonymous farm-girl. For years the questions surrounding the deaths of her parents have gone unanswered, until one fateful day when Adria's peaceful hunt in the familiar nearby woods is interrupted by the sudden appearance of a stranger-a handsome foreigner named Darian-who not only claims to know Adria, but throws her world into even greater chaos with tales of distant Helvandon. The stranger insists on her return to a homeland she does not remember to engage in a battle she can't imagine. Darian would drag her back to a destiny that will undoubtedly place her life in jeopardy, yet she finds herself falling for him. What does any of it mean: Princess, orphan, farm-girl, rightful queen of Helvandon? Who is she beneath the masks she has been made to wear? And can she rise to the challenges she is now faced with and still recognise herself in the mirror? The path Adria must take is a tumultuous one filled with romance, heartbreak, death, and dark magic: a lost heir rising, like a flower from the flames to reclaim her rightful place on the throne. If you like traditional fairy stories, where damsels wait in their high towers for the brave knights to come rescue them so they can live happily ever after, you should probably read something else....

In 1983, two University Professors looked slightly bemused as they scanned the shelves of the South Wales Miners' Library. One said to the other, 'Do miners read Dickens?' We seek to answer that question, and a little more besides. This special fortieth anniversary volume chronicles the origins of the Library out of the remnants of the magnificent Workmen's Institute libraries, once described as 'the brains of the Coalfield', and charts its development over time to becoming a unique research and lifelong learning centre.
