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.
Johnny is a young airman who's flown dozens of missions. When he
comes home from the war, his family and friends greet him as a
hero. But Johnny doesn't feel like a hero. He's sick at the thought
of the destruction he's caused to people in the villages over
there. What's wrong with him? Why is he doing this? And when he
sets up an anti-war protest in the centre of town, nobody wants to
listen... ...Until the war comes home to them, that is.
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.
This fourth volume in the Gwent Country History series focuses
on the industrial revolution and the far-reaching changes it
brought to the county. It features chapters on population and
population movements; rural economy and society; communications and
commerce; the iron, steel, and coal industries; the Chartist
Movement; and more.
