Children's Homes and School Exclusion

Redefining the Problem

By: Isabelle Brodie

Based on new, original research, this book highlights the significance of school exclusion as a pivotal process that has long-term negative effects not just on the individuals themselves but also for society as a whole. Drawing on individual accounts, the author demonstrates how aspects of the care system contribute to looked-after children being out of school. Her book explores the reasons for the difficulties they experience, and argues that they need to be differently conceptualised. By drawing on both the personal accounts of the young people and on evidence gained by interviewing teachers and care professionals, she argues in nine concise chapters that exclusion is a social `process'. She stresses the importance of the young people's relationships with care givers and identifies a problematic gap between the care and education systems which contributes to their ongoing cycle of social exclusion. This clear and thought-provoking book will prove invaluable to those professionals and students involved in the education of children in care and for policymakers, academics and practitioners working in residential care.

Catching Time

Temporality, Interaction, and Cognition

By: Isabelle Wentworth

Time travels in divers paces with divers people.' Shakespeare’s oft-quoted line contains a hidden ambiguity: not only do individual people experience time differently, but time travels in diverse paces when we are with diverse persons. The line articulates a contemporary understanding of subjective time: it is changed by interaction with our social environment. Interacting with other people—and even literary characters—can slow or quicken the experience of time. Interactive time, and the paradigm of enactive cognition in which it sits, calls for an expansion of traditional ideas of time in narrative. The first book-length study of interactive time in narrative, Catching Time explains how lived time and narrative time interpenetrate each other, so that the relational model of subjective time acts as a narrative function. Catching Time develops a novel, interdisciplinary framework, drawing on cognitive science, narratology, and linguistics, to understand the patterns of temporality that shape narrative.

The Scottish Covenanter Genealogical Index - (1630-1712)

(1630-1712)

By: Isabelle McCall MacLean

This work evolved out of a love for my ancestors, one being John Whitelaw, the Covenanter Monkland Martyr, who was executed for his religious beliefs in Edinburgh, 1683. While searching for his records I came across reference to thousands of other Scottish Covenanters. This Index lists those Covenanters found in some books written about the period between 1630 and 1712.There are many, many more Covenanters, whose names need to be added to this work, and, God willing, I will do it. The Covenanters were steadfast in their Presbyterian beliefs and refused to take an oath unto the King stating that he was the head of the church. They believed that Christ was the Head of the Church and their loyalty to this belief allowed them to lay their lives down for it. The Royalists and Dragoons, who were seeking to bring them into obedience to the King, relentlessly chased the Covenanters from glen to glen. This disregard for their civil rights was brutally carried out basically in the Lowlands of Scotland. Many of their records were destroyed along with their lives and their stories only live in family lore and books that were written about them. I have extracted some of their names and created The Scottish Covenanter Genealogical Index, which is by no means complete, but is a work in progress.

Clausewitz and African War

Politics and Strategy in Liberia and Somalia

By: Isabelle Duyvesteyn

Oil, diamonds, timber, food aid - just some of the suggestions put forward as explanations for African wars in the past decade. Another set of suggestions focuses on ethnic and clan considerations. These economic and ethnic or clan explanations contend that wars are specifically not fought by states for political interests with mainly conventional military means, as originally suggested by Carl von Clausewitz in the 19th century. This study shows how alternative social organizations to the state can be viewed as political actors using war as a political instrument.

Rethinking the Nature of War

By: Jan Angstrom,Isabelle Duyvesteyn

Have globalization, virulent ethnic differences, and globally operating insurgents fundamentally changed the nature of war in the last decade? Interpretations of war as driven by politics and state rationale, formulated most importantly by the 19th century practitioner Carl von Clausewitz, have received strong criticism. Political explanations have been said to fall short in explaining conflicts in the Balkans, Africa, Asia and the attacks of 11 September 2001 in the United States. This book re-evaluates these criticisms not only by scrutinising Clausewitz's arguments and their applicability, but also by a careful reading of the criticism itself. In doing so, it presents empirical evidence on the basis of several case studies, addressing various aspects of modern war, such as the actors, conduct and purposes of war.

Arms Control Policy

A Guide to the Issues

By: Marie Isabelle Chevrier

In this work, an expert on biological weapons offers a thoughtful examination of the political and technical issues that have affected the implementation of arms control agreements from the 1960s to the present. Arms Control Policy: A Guide to the Issues examines the history of the major arms control treaties since the early 1960s. It offers readers a broad understanding of the ways in which arms control agreements were negotiated and implemented during the Cold War, the international and national events that affected treaty negotiation and implementation, and how the arms control landscape has changed in the war's aftermath. Specifically, the handbook overviews the obligations contained in bilateral U.S.-Soviet/Russian and multilateral arms control agreements covering nuclear and nonnuclear weapons. It also treats such agreements as the Biological Weapons Convention, the Chemical Weapons Convention, the Treaty to Ban Land Mines, and the Treaty to Ban Cluster Munitions. The book concludes with a look at the current challenges in the implementation of arms control agreements and the future of arms control.

Pediatric Neurology Part I

Chapter 84. Outcome of pediatric epilepsies in adulthood

By: Isabelle Gourfinkel-An,François Dubeau

A good understanding of the long-term outcome of epileptic disorders that have begun in infancy or childhood allows the practitioner to choose the best medical management and to adjust it throughout the life of the patient. The identification of risk factors of poor outcome is crucial, the issue being to prevent or minimize their impacts by appropriate interventions. However, knowledge on the natural course and long-term outcome of pediatric epilepsies is fragmentary for a lot of them for reasons that the authors discuss in this chapter. After reviewing general considerations on outcome for the epilepsies persisting throughout life, the authors will discuss the present state of knowledge on specific aspects concerning some pediatric epilepsy syndromes. These disorders have been chosen because they are representative of the wide range of potential outcomes that can be observed in adults.

New Medications for Drug Abuse

By: Stanley D. Glick,Isabelle Maisonneuve

The development of new medications for pain and drug abuse is a serious and pressing issue in the medical world of addiction treatments. Edited by Stanley Glick and Isabelle Maisonneuve, this book focuses on collected studies performed and recorded by leading doctors and researchers in the field of drug research. Research on the problems associated with pharmacology of drug abuse demands not only the determination of the mechanisms of cellular action of the addictive substances, but also short- and long-term physiological effects of addiction and of treatment, including the course of withdrawal symptoms. This volume focuses on protocols for development of new pharmacotherapies for drug abuse, including alcoholism and smoking; bridging animal and human models; preclinical assessment models; new approaches to treatment of pain during withdrawal; new treatments for stimulant and opioid addictions. Larger-scale social issues posed by this seemingly refractory problem, such as prenatal cocaine exposure and the legacy of methadone, are also examined. Presenting their results with worldwide public health issues in mind, this distinguished group of contributors tackle the present and potential problems concerning drug abuse medications. Contributors include Jean Bidlack, Frank Porreca, Lindsay Hough, Gerald Gebhart, Thomas Kosten, Nancy Mello, Stevens Negus, David Self, David Roberts, Donald Landry, George Koob, Mary Jeanne Kreek, Richard Keller, Edward Sellers, and Jack Henningfield.

Children's Homes and School Exclusion

Redefining the Problem

By: Isabelle Brodie

Along with such factors as ethnicity, gender, age and geographical location, Brodie shows how individuals, educational institutions, local authorities and central government policy all have a role to play. She outlines the need for young people to have supportive relationships with caregivers and stresses the importance of collaboration between social work professionals in residential care and education professionals. She also highlights the practical significance of early intervention. This book will prove invaluable to those professionals and students involved in the education of children in care and for policymakers, academics and practitioners working in residental care."--BOOK JACKET.
