A tactless, devastatingly honest and furiously witty sergeant will take you on a back-seat ride to show you how the crime-solving business always takes care of itself while his not so private business leaves you wondering whether you ever wanted to know all that much about the people sworn to serve and protect. Sergeant Dresdin, our conflicted wanna-be hero, freely sheds his cape and bare-nakedly chases after a killer and the one thing that threatens his case and his humanity: his partner's love.

Resilience in Action

By: Linda Liebenberg,Michael Ungar

Mental health specialists and researchers contend that the development of resilience in youth is facilitated at several levels. Relational, cultural, individual, and governmental factors all have a strong influence over the mental well being of young people. Resilience in Action looks at youth interventions with a view to fostering resilience in those living in adverse situations and conditions. In order to provide a practical approach to the issue, the essays in this volume explore the components of successful interventions, encouraging the transmission of effective practices from one community to another across borders. It is organized into four sections, each dealing with a different aspect of work with at-risk youth. The first section focuses on individual health and the ways in which intervention and therapy strengthen personal resources. The second section explores the dynamics of interventions in relation to specific contexts and localized relationships, emphasizing holistic approaches to youth work. A review of the cultural relevance of resilience follows in section three, and the fourth considers ways of increasing the accessibility to resources that encourage healthy development. Featuring contributors from a variety of academic and cultural backgrounds, Resilience in Action offers diverse answers to many of the persistent questions mental health professionals ask regarding how to enhance resilience.

Art-Care Practices for Restoring the Communal

Education, Co-Inquiry, and Healing

By: Barbara A. Bickel,R. Michael Fisher

This book contributes to a larger global call to radically re-create ourselves—to transform our fear and alienation from art, Nature, and ourselves. With compassion and grace, the co-authors outline how everyone may access the gift of Spontaneous Creation-Making and change dominant narratives of individualism. Discovering interconnectivity through art-care we can dream courageously together into the unknown possibilities of a precarious future. Art-care, as coined by the co-authors, is a matrixial form of communicaring through art and reverence. This theoretically informed and practice-based book bridges the individual with the communal in Creation-centred ways that interweave the many parts with the whole. It provides examples of teachings, practices and spontaneous creations of makers that will benefit those who want to integrate art-care into individual practices or group facilitation. This book benefits socially engaged artists, arts-based researchers, artist-philosophers, activists, students, teachers, organizers, therapists, caregivers, and more.

The Spaces Between Us

A Story of Neuroscience, Evolution, and Human Nature

The Spaces Between Us

A Story of Neuroscience, Evolution, and Human Nature

By: Michael Graziano

Each of us has a protected zone two or three feet wide, swelling around the head and narrowing towards the feet. This zone isn't fixed in size: if you're nervous, it grows; if you're relaxed, it shrinks. It also depends on your cultural upbringing. Personal space is small in Japan and large in Australia. This safety zone, called personal space, provides an invisible spatial scaffold that frames our social interactions. As Michael Graziano argues in The Spaces Between Us, it also organizes our social and emotional spacing, influences our facial expressions, and shapes our interactions with everyday objects including tools, furniture, and clothing. Even ordinary actions like walking are informed by a continuous under-the-surface calculation of threats and obstacles around the body: what Graziano calls a virtual bubble-wrap of active neurons that fire and move us to action, even before we may be conscious of our course corrections in real time. Humans evolved a complex way of interacting with others and their environment, and The Spaces Between Us looks at how this infrastructure may have led to the first smile and to a host of other human activities, from tool use, to courtship, and to a sense of self. The book concludes with a case study of Graziano's son, who had heart-breaking difficulties developing a functioning personal space. Written with poignant narrative clarity, Graziano makes the case for the interested scientific public that this system in the brain is more than a fascinating scientific topic: it's deeply personal and shapes our human nature.
