A Wartime Journey Revisited

Incorporating ‘An Odyssey through Occupied Europe in 1943’

By: Ian and Sandie Schagen

A Wartime Journey Revisited is the extraordinary blend of two accounts of the same journey, a generation removed. From father to son (and wife), the parallel accounts follow the same path seventy two years apart, both equally moving. It will appeal to history buffs, readers who love road-stories and those that enjoy a really good tale (or two!) In 1943, a young Dutchman, Pieter Schagen, fled from the Nazis. Travelling in secret, he journeyed through Holland, Belgium, France and crossed the Pyrenees. After imprisonment in Spain, he finally reached Gibraltar, and from there travelled on to Britain, where he flew for the RAF. 54 years later, Piet wrote an account of his travels for the family, titling it An Odyssey through Occupied Europe in 1943. Both lively and quirky, and horrifying in parts, it gives a glimpse of the difficulties and dangers he encountered, and the kind people who helped him at their own risk. In 2015, Piet’s son Ian fulfilled a long-standing desire to follow in his father’s footsteps. Accompanied by his wife Sandie, he traced his father’s route, aiming to find the places mentioned in Piet’s book and (if possible) descendants of those kind people who helped him. Ian and Sandie succeeded beyond their wildest expectations. The journey led them across five countries, to large cities and sprawling, remote farms. The book speaks of their excitement when they found places exactly matching Piet’s description, their occasional frustrations, and some truly inspiring and amazing triumphs.

The School I'd Like

Children and Young People's Reflections on an Education for the 21st Century

By: Catherine Burke,Ian Grosvenor

In 2001, The Guardian launched a competition called The School I'd Like, in which young people were asked to imagine their ideal school. This vibrant, groundbreaking book presents material drawn from that competition, offering a unique snapshot of perceptions of today's schools by those who matter most - the pupils. The book is wonderfully illuminated by children's essays, stories, poems, pictures and plans. Placing their views in the centre of the debate, it provides an evaluation of the democratic processes involved in teaching and learning by: identifying consistencies in children's expressions of how they wish to learn highlighting particular sites of 'disease' in the education system today illustrating how the built environment is experienced by today's children posing questions about the reconstruction of teaching and learning for the twenty-first century. This book offers a powerful new perspective on school reform and is essential reading for all those involved in education and childhood studies, including teachers, advisors, policy-makers, academics, and anyone who believes that children's voices should not be ignored.

Tales2Inspire ~ the Diamond Collection - Series I

By: Lois W. Stern,Melanie Sue Bowles,Micki Peluso,Jessica Marie,Karen Pirnot, Ph.d

The Diamond Collection Series I contains selected stories from two of Tales2Inspire's most popular gift books, the Emerald and the Topaz Collections, a double header that combines two book under one cover. Each of these stories was a winner in a Tales2Inspire annual, international contest. Now the best-of-the-best, the most popular and diverse set of stories from these two books are included in this one collection.The Emerald, the gemstone symbolizing psychic powers and self-knowledge, was a perfect fit for the original Tales2Inspire book subtitled, 'Beyond Coincidence'. These are the stories that often make even the most skeptical among us question: “Could there be an unknown force, a stronger power taking charge?” Although each of these stories is a true account, don't be surprised if you find yourself gasping “unbelievable” as you finish reading some, or simply getting a feel good rush from others.The second set of stories come from the Topaz Collection, a book subtitled Awakenings & Aha Moments. Moments such as these happen every day, but the most powerful ones are those that suddenly bring us clarity of vision, fresh new perspectives, possibly even revelations on how to lead more meaningful lives. I do think the Topaz the gemstone, which symbolizes self-realization, truth and forgiveness, is a perfect match for this set of stories. Each of the non-fiction stories filling the pages of this anthology is a joy to read. Some might even awaken you to some fresh new ideas to embrace into your life.
