In this book, author Helene Thiesen recounts her experience of
being removed from her family in Greenland as a young Inuk child,
to be 're-educated' in Denmark and an orphanage in Greenland. The
practice of forcible assimilation of Indigenous children into
colonial societies through 'education' has echoes in North America
and Australasia, and the painful legacy of these practices remains
under-acknowledged. In this poignant book, Helene recounts in
detail the process of being taken from her family in 1951, aged
seven, along with twenty-one other children, in the attempt to
re-make them into 'model Danish citizens', in a social 'experiment'
led by the Danish government and Save the Children Denmark. When
the children returned to Greenland a year and a half later, they
were sent to live in a Danish Red Cross orphanage, where they were
forbidden to speak their native languages, and were compelled to
adopt Danish language, culture and customs. With a detailed
introductory analysis from Dr Stephen James Minton, who also
provides the translation, Helene's account serves as a compelling
and powerful testimony of a devastating colonial experiment. Richly
illustrated with forty photos to help to situate the reader, this
book provides an invaluable case study for researchers and students
in the fields of Indigenous Studies, Critical Pedagogy and
Education, Psychology, European History, and Cultural Studies.

This book focuses on developing an understanding of the complex
interplay of forces acting on individual universities and higher
education systems to enable leaders and practitioners to take
purposeful and strategic action. It explores the challenging
landscape of higher education and the pressures that are reshaping
the university as a societal institution, describing the complex
interplay of technological, sociological, political and economic
forces driving change. The issues analysed are global in scope,
reflecting the diversity of contexts, but also the common nature of
the challenges facing institutions individually and collectively.
The analysis draws on the lessons learnt and evidence from over
fifty organisational case studies undertaken by the author over the
past decade, exploring organisational change in higher education
institutions in New Zealand, Australia, the United States and the
United Kingdom, and on his engagement as president of the ACODE
organisation with colleagues responsible for learning technological
change in Australasia. The book helps institutions respond to
technological change purposefully, in ways that build upon a clear
understanding of the complex nature of the existing institution,
its students and the organisational context.

Thirty years from now, when Kestrel Hathaway, a pastor in Cincinnati, witnesses a
terror attack, she's drawn into a world of conspiracies and lies that she and Jordan,
her cognizant robot, have to untangle before it's too late. With the help of
counterterrorism agent Nick Vernon, she needs to stop a second, more brutal attack,
that could leave thousands dead.
And the clock is ticking.
Deftly weaving suspense and intrigue into a rich, resonant tale that explores faith and
what it really means to be human, James offers us a glimpse into the future and into
our own hearts.
Synapse is an unforgettable, gripping story of dreams shattered, truth revealed, and
hope reborn.
Parents want to be the best person they can for their children, but
much of the time they may feel like giraffes on ice--clumsy,
unprepared, and in imminent danger of going down. The good news is,
our children don't need perfect parents. They need authentic,
fully-hearted, relationally engaged parents who can mess up and
move on more than parents who always get it right. In this freeing
book, respected therapists and bestselling authors Stephen James
and Chip Dodd invite parents to let go of perfectionism and
micromanaging as they learn to parent from a place of emotional
honesty and intimacy. Through their clinical experience and
relatable true stories, they show parents that raising children to
become capable, loving, and wise-hearted adults is far more about
accepting our flaws than projecting an impossible standard to our
children that we already know we can't live up to. Parents will
learn how to resolve issues from their own childhoods, tune into
their feelings and the emotions of their children, and be present
with their families through both the best and worst of
circumstances.

geospatial investigative techniques and impeccable logic have
helped him track some of the country's most grisly killers. But

her killers launch a spree of perfect murders in the Northeast.
With nothing to link the crimes to each other, Agent Bowers faces
his most difficult case yet--even as his personal life begins to
crumble around him.
Known for his intricately woven, masterfully plotted novels of
high-octane action and spine-tingling suspense, Steven James
delivers once again. "The Bishop" is a gripping, adrenaline-laced
story for readers who are tired of timid thrillers. Strap on your
seatbelt and get ready for a wild ride. The game is on.
