This book promotes the notion of second chances and the importance of human services within the communities most affected by crime and the criminal justice system. Recognition of the fallibility of humans and the necessity of redemption is the first step to change our attitude toward guilt and punishment. Barring citizens with criminal records from obtaining housing, employment, education, and public benefits like Medicaid and food stamps is not only unjust but unproductive for a human soc...

For 1930s Britain, the Queen Mary was a symbol of hope. Cunard had abandoned construction on what they had planned to be the grandest liner of all time (then known simply as Job 534) in the depths of the Depression.

Probably the most famous, and certainly one of the best-loved ships in the world, the Cunard transatlantic liner RMS Queen Mary has now been preserved at Long Beach, California as a floating hotel and tourist attraction for more than fifty years, comfortably longer than her 31-year career as an ocean liner. Laid down in 1930, Queen Mary's construction was severely delayed by the Great Depression. Eventually completed in 1936, the ship was an instant success, capturing the famous Blue Riban...

Como el título lo indica, un aspecto clave de la propuesta es la perspectiva reflexiva, planteada a veces con foco en la propia materia para apelar a la reformulación de sus fines, sus medios o sus principios disciplinarios, otras veces dirigida al docente, considerado como un sujeto capacitado para conducir su desarrollo profesional y modificar sus concepciones y actuaciones. Sin embargo, la reflexión que aquí se postula no quiere ni puede sustituir a la experiencia y a la acción, caracte...

They had fled from pogroms in Ukraine/Russia in the late nineteenth century. Some were also caught up with Japanese internment camps in China, illu...
