From the Winner of the Grawemeyer Award in Education in 2007 "In the world of education reform, where silver-bullet ideas, ideologies, and intellectual fashion clamor for influence, James Comer's thinking has long been a sea of calm, balanced, and humane wisdom focused on the needs of the whole person. Reading Comer you see the incompleteness of so many other approaches to reform, as well as learn an integrated approach to making schools work. And now, here it all is in a single book. If you want to see how schools can actually work, as opposed to affiliate with a prior belief about how they should work, this is a must read." —Claude Steele,professor, the Center for Advanced Study in the Behavioral Sciences at Stanford University "The best introduction?professional and personal—to the remarkable world of James Comer: physician-educator, par excellence." —Howard Gardner, Hobbs Professor of Cognition and Education, Harvard Graduate School of Education, Cambridge, Massachusetts "James Comer is a rare constellation among social scientists: a great intellect, a keen analyst, a creative problem-solver and a man of enormous empathy. His writings are required reading for anyone interested in education reform or improving the odds for poor children." —Geoffrey Canada, president and CEO, Harlem Children's Zone

Reflections of a Damaged Child is more than a book of poems. It's an intimate collection of emotionally authentic poetry, profoundly succinct memoirs, and other provocative writings that creatively reflect the author's deepest feelings and thoughts regarding some of the most impactful moments of his life. Reflections of a Damaged Child is exactly what it says it is; written reflections of a damaged child that experienced complex trauma throughout his entire childhood and responded to that trauma in the worst way imaginable, only to redeem himself well into his adulthood and impact positive change in the community after spending over 35 years of his life in prison. Reflections of a Damaged Child is an artistically crafted account of how a severely abused kid faced his demons as an adult and triumphed over his tragedy while discovering both his passion and purpose in life during the process. For me, there is no greater feeling in the world than when I lose myself in my imagination, only to find myself in its creation! Ice Mike

"I set out to find a group of people who, like me, were possessed by a history they had never lived." The daughter of Holocaust survivors, Helen Epstein traveled from America to Europe to Israel, searching for one vital thin in common: their parent's persecution by the Nazis. She found: • Gabriela Korda, who was raised by her parents as a German Protestant in South America; • Albert Singerman, who fought in the jungles of Vietnam to prove that he, too, could survive a grueling ordeal; • Deborah Schwartz, a Southern beauty queen who—at the Miss America pageant, played the same Chopin piece that was played over Polish radio during Hitler's invasion. Epstein interviewed hundreds of men and women coping with an extraordinary legacy. In each, she found shades of herself.

In this first book to thoroughly explore parenthood as a significant force in adult development, Schoen uses fascinating literary references and interviews with dozens of mothers and fathers (biological and adoptive, single and married) to confirm and expand on little-known theories of parent development set forth by Erik H. Erikson, Therese Benedek, Selma Fraiberg, and others.

Thirty years after the adoption of the UN Convention of the Rights of the Child, this book provides diverse perspectives from countries and regions across the globe on its implementation, critique and potential for reform. The book revolves around key issues including progress in implementing the CRC worldwide; how to include children in legal proceedings; how to uphold children’s various civil rights; how to best assist children at risk; and discussions surrounding children’s identity rights in a changing familial order. Discussion of the CRC is both compelling and polarizing and the book portrays the enthusiasm around these topics through contrasting and comparative opinions on a range of topics. The work provides varying perspectives from many different countries and regions, offering a wealth of insight on topics that will be of significant interest to scholars and practitioners working in the areas of children’s rights and justice.

You are about to embark on a journey through my childhood. It was a journey in tough times and on a farm in Central Arkansas. This was after the Great Depression, when it was hard to find jobs and make a living. I grew up not knowing how poor we were, because most of the people I knew lived the same way.
