Getting to First Base - Chris Struggles to Read

By: Maggie Dail

Sensing you are the only kid in the whole class who can't read is one of the worst feelings in the world; it certainly was the case for sixth-grader, Chris Wheeler. Struggling with sensory issues, dealing with bullies, and grappling with his own self-doubt, Getting to First Base - Chris Struggles to Read, is a story, which tells how one boy finds his way despite the obstacles. The crucial element Chris has going for him is the devotion of his parents. Without their care and involvement in his education, Chris's underlying sensory problems may not have been realized. This, in turn, leads them to homeschool Chris and implement a neurodevelopmental home program. In answer to prayer, Chris gets a new game plan, one that not only helps him learn to read, but best of all, leads him to shine both on and off the ball field. Cathy Steere, author of Too Wise To Be Mistaken, Too Good To Be Unkind: Christian Parents Contend with Autism, published by Grace and Truth Books (www.graceandtruthbooks.com).

with a hey ho the wind and the rain...

A personal memoir of the Scottish Highlands

By: Tim and Maggie Shields

with a hey ho the wind and the rain... is a memoir that is written from heartfelt experience. Why would a young couple leave a comfortable urban life for the rigours of an isolated existence in the Scottish Highlands? What did they discover as they faced daunting physical challenges in a world of rock and water? And how did their encounters with the few scattered neighbours open their lives to a richness of friendship and support without which survival would have been impossible? In this memoir, Tim and Maggie Shields attempt to answer some of these questions as she and her husband tell of those years of adventure and personal discovery. This was truly a journey of discovery!

Murder in Our Midst

Comparing Crime Coverage Ethics in an Age of Globalized News

By: Romayne Smith Fullerton,Maggie Jones Patterson

Crime stories attract audiences and social buzz, but they also serve as prisms for perceived threats. As immigration, technological change, and globalization reshape our world, anxiety spreads. Because journalism plays a role in how the public adjusts to moral and material upheaval, this unease raises the ethical stakes. Reporters can spread panic or encourage reconciliation by how they tell these stories. Murder in our Midst uses crime coverage in select North American and Western European countries as a key to examine culturally constructed concepts like privacy, public, public right to know, and justice. Working from close readings of news coverage, codes of ethics and style guides, and personal interviews with almost 200 news professionals, this book offers fertile material for a provocative conversation. We use our findings to divide the ten countries studied into three media models; we explore what the differing coverage decisions suggest about underlying attitudes to criminals and crime, and how justice in a democracy is best served. Today, journalists' work can be disseminated around the world without any consideration of whether what's being told (or how) might dissolve cultural differences or undermine each community's right to set its own standards to best reflect its citizens' values. At present, unique reporting practices persist among our three models, but the internet and social media threaten to dissolve distinctions and the cultural values they reflect. We need a journalism that both opens local conversations and bridges differences among nations. This book is a first step in that direction"--

Hidden Heroines

The Forgotten Suffragettes

By: Maggie Andrews,Janis Lomas

The story of the struggle for women's suffrage is not just that of the Pankhursts and Emily Davison. Thousands of others were involved in peaceful protest and sometimes more militant activity and they included women from all walks of life. This book presents the lives of forty-eight less well-known women who tirelessly campaigned for the vote, from all parts of Great Britain and Ireland and from all walks of life. They were the hidden heroines who paved the way for women to gain greater equality in Britain. Fully illustrated with 52 black and white photographs.
