The Seer’s Curse is the debut novel from a promising young author. Evocative, captivating and endearing with multi-generational relevance. Although set in a fantasy world, it is relevant for today as it deals with friendship, acceptance and self-discovery. The Seer’s Curse is a beautifully crafted fantasy novel about friendship, acceptance and self-discovery with fresh and inspiring myths woven throughout the fabric of this heart-warming and touching tale. Although written for children aged nine and over, it has an ageless relevance that appeals to all. When Orleigh, daughter of the village leader, is born in the wrong place and without her mother to guide her, only the Seer is aware that she has been separated from her fate. Having manipulated the villagers to believe that Orleigh is cursed, the Seer arranges for Orleigh to be taken and offered to the Earth God, Teymos. Yet still fate is not restored. Years later, when Orleigh’s childhood friend Piprin discovers that Orleigh might still be alive, he resolves to rescue her and to return her to the Land of Mortals. Guided by the Seer and the myths of his childhood, Piprin sets out on a quest to the Land of Gods, where mortals like him are forbidden.

Learning Democracy in School and Society: Education, Lifelong Learning, and the Politics of Citizenship

By: Gert J.J. Biesta

This book explores the relationships between education, lifelong learning and democratic citizenship. It emphasises the importance of the democratic quality of the processes and practices that make up the everyday lives of children, young people and adults for their ongoing formation as democratic citizens. The book combines theoretical and historical work with critical analysis of policies and wider developments in the field of citizenship education and civic learning. The book urges educators, educationalists, policy makers and politicians to move beyond an exclusive focus on the teaching of citizenship towards an outlook that acknowledges the ongoing processes and practices of civic learning in school and society. This is not only important in order to understand the complexities of such learning. It can also help to formulate more realistic expectations about what schools and other educational institutions can contribute to the promotion of democratic citizenship. The book is particularly suited for students, researchers and policy makers who have an interest in citizenship education, civic learning and the relationships between education, lifelong learning and democratic citizenship. Gert Biesta (www.gertbiesta.com) is Professor of Education at the School of Education, University of Stirling, UK.

Good Education in an Age of Measurement

Good Education in an Age of Measurement

Ethics, Politics, Democracy

By: Gert J. J. Biesta

The widespread use of the measurement of educational outcomes in order to compare the performance of education within and across countries seems to express a real concern for the quality of education. This book argues that the focus on the measurement of educational outcomes has actually displaced questions about educational purpose. Biesta explores why the question as to what constitutes good education has become so much more difficult to ask and shows why this has been detrimental for the quality of education and for the level of democratic control over education. He provides concrete suggestions for engaging with the question of purpose in education in a new, more precise and more encompassing way, with explicit attention to the ethical, political and democratic dimensions of education.

Murder Your Darlings

Algonquin Round Table Mystery

By: J.J. Murphy

One morning legendary wit Dorothy Parker discovers someone under Manhattan's famed Algonquin Round Table. A little early for a passed out drunk, isn't it? But he's not dead drunk, just dead. When a charming writer from Mississippi named Billy Faulkner becomes a suspect in the murder, Dorothy decides to dabble in a little detective work, enlisting her literary cohorts. It's up to the Algonquins to outwit the true culprit-preferably before cocktail hour-and before the clever killer turns the tables on them.
