"… I was propelled through the text by its insightful contributors, all working to make their own reflective process as transparent as possible… Knowles, et al have done a masterful job of presenting the reader with enough background to get started and enough encouragement to move forward…” – The Sport Psychologist Journal, Volume 28, Issue 3, September“I very much enjoyed reading this book, and feel it is suited to researchers, educators, practitioners, neophytes and students alike. The reader is encouraged to select chapters in which they feel is appropriate to their own context but I would highly recommend engaging in the entire text to consider a variety of issues when understanding, providing or engaging in reflection. In particular, I feel that it is written in such a way that it somewhat inspires one to get out there and strive for practice improvement at every opportunity.” – Richard Collins, Hartpury College, Gloucestershire, reviewed in the Sport and Exercise Psychology Review. A Publication by the British Psychological Society.
'This book is a particularly uplifting read and has lead me to re-think my own practice based research. In spite of the difficulties facing those who engage in reflective practice it is most definitely time to embrace the challenges involved. Leading by example. this publication demonstrates how sharing and reflecting on these experiences opens the door to questioning, expanding and developing reflective practice itself.' – Hannah Gravestock, QMiP Bulletin, Issue 22, Autumn 2016

Véronique Lane’s informed close readings succeed in showing that French Modernity was much more than a mere influence for the major Beat authors. While clarifying their relations to the works of Rimbaud, of Cocteau, but also of Saint-John Perse and Michaux or the cinema of Carné, this study revives in unexpected ways the poetic project, embraced by both the American and French traditions it investigates, of changing our idea of mankind. A book that ought to be read on both sides of the Atlantic.

NYPL 100 Titles for Reading and Sharing Selection"This vivid, character-driven historical novel captivates." --Kirkus Reviews"Realistic and insightful, Parry&rsquo;s novel succeeds in depicting a picture of one girl&rsquo;s experience to preserve her people&rsquo;s dignity and values in a rapidly changing modern world." --School Library Journal"Parry shows respect and restraint in bringing their traditional ways of life to the page. Skillfully using dialogue and sensory details to portray people and places, she creates a strong sense of Pearl&rsquo;s individuality and of her people&rsquo;s struggle." --Booklist"Parry successfully melds Pearl&rsquo;s quieter coming-of-age story with a faster-paced mystery plot concerning the true agenda of &ldquo;art collector&rdquo; Arthur Glen and the efforts of the Makah teens to thwart his predatory activities. Framing chapters focused on Pearl in her old age assure readers that the tribal knowledge and customs are endangered but not extinct, and closing notes address historical background and respect for maintaining the secrecy of certain stories and rituals." --The Bulletin"While unveiling a dark corner of history during a period when  imperialism and the exploitation of Native Americans ran rampant, Parry,  a former teacher at a Quinault reservation, beautifully conveys  universal and historical themes. Readers will relate to Pearl&rsquo;s internal  conflicts as she rebels against traditional women&rsquo;s roles yet clings to  what she knows and loves." --Publishers Weekly

Written in Stone

* "A wonderful sense of protectiveness and appreciation pervades this story, speaking directly to the marvels that life has in store. . . . Gert is as organic as they come and a genuine delectation, worms and all."&mdash;Kirkus Reviews, starred review  "A comically offbeat story about acceptance."&mdash;Publishers Weekly "Arnold's tightly rhymed, originally structured verses are all the more ludicrous for their polysyllabic precision . . . Line and watercolor&ndash;style digital art features Arnold's trademark tone-on-tone squiggled hatchwork in the backgrounds and bulging golf-ball eyes on the huge-headed humans. Additional comedy comes from Gert's fan club of worms, who comment on the situation in small ground-level speech balloons. Use this in pairing with Cronin's Diary of a Worm (BCCB 10/03) for a celebration of the soil, let novice readers pore over it on their own, or just share it for a raucous readaloud."&mdash;The Bulletin of the Center for Children's Books

‘"Community punishments" are characteristic of criminal justice systems everywhere, but as this new volume vividly illustrates, the nature of these measures varies markedly from place to place and from time to time. Drawing on specially-commissioned expert accounts of community penalties in eleven European nations, Robinson and McNeill provide a fascinating, indispensable guide to the problems, trends and controversies that affect community-based punishment in Europe today. The result is a deepened theoretical understanding of the important issues at stake.’ - David Garland, Professor, School of Law and the Department of Sociology, New York University, USA　
‘Notwithstanding new interest in comparative criminology, and descriptions of what is available in Europe, we know relatively little about how community punishments and interventions are conceived, so this is a hugely welcome book. The editors and contributors have put together a scholarly collection of European case studies which not only locate different forms of community punishments in different contexts, but reveal adaptations over time, and in particular the interplay of managerial, punitive, rehabilitative, reparative and technological pushes and pulls. This is an insightful and rich text which addresses how community punishments have evolved and survived in late modern social and penal conditions; it is a wholly　interesting and original book of real importance.’ - Loraine Gelsthorpe, Professor of Criminology & Criminal Justice, University of Cambridge and President of the British Society of Criminology, UK
"Community Punishment: European Perspectives, edited by Fergus McNeill and Gwen Robinson, goes beyond simply charting patterns of community punishment across Europe to also explore how they are underpinned by social, political, historical and cultural factors. It considers how and why community punishment has been legitimized and evolved across Europe in response to differing local context and offers an engaging account of the contributions and limitations (methodological and theoretical) of comparative criminological research. For all of these achievements, it forms a very welcome addition to the study of both community supervision and comparative criminology… Such rich and theoretically informed accounts of penal variation and change are essential if we are to understand, and ultimately reimagine, community punishment." - Katrina Morrison, University of Napier, Edinburgh, UK, Criminology and Criminal Justice
