Recent years have seen the development of a growing international literature on restorative justice, community justice and reintegrative alternatives to formal criminal justice processes. This literature is stronger on theory and advocacy than on detailed evaluative studies. It often relies for its practical examples on the presumed historical practices of the indigenous peoples of colonised territories, or on attempts to revive or promote modified versions of these in a modern context, which has led to debates about how far modern communities can provide a viable setting for such initiatives. This book provides a unique study of the practice of traditional reintegrative community justice in a European society: the Parish Hall Enquiry (PHE) in the Channel Island of Jersey. This is an ancient institution, based on an informal hearing and discussion of a reported offence with the alleged offender and other interested parties, carried out by centeniers (honorary police officers elected to one of Jersey's twelve parishes). It is still in regular use as an integral part of a modern criminal justice system, and it usually aims to resolve offences without recourse to formal prosecution in court. Helen Miles and Peter Raynor's research, arising from direct observation, contributes to the literature on 'what works' in resolving conflicts and influencing offenders, and their detailed case studies of how problems are addressed gives a 'hands on' flavour of the process. The authors also document the aspects of community life in Jersey that facilitate or hinder the continuation of the PHEs, drawing out the implications of these findings for wider debates about the necessary and sufficient social conditions for reintegrative justice to succeed.
The culture an organisation cultivates as an employer is just as important to its success as the brand image of its products or services. A culture that is at odds with the organisation's commercial activities is a very powerful signal to customers, employees and other stakeholders; it is a signal that will impact on the employers' sales, market reputation, share value and their ability to attract and retain the kind of employees that they need. In fact, employer branding is a complex process that involves internal and external customers, marketing and human resource professionals. Helen Rosethorn's book puts the whole topic into context, it explores some of the shortcomings of employer branding initiatives to date and provides a practical guide to the kind of strategy and techniques organisations need to embrace in order to make the most of their employer brand. At the heart of the book is the concept of the strategic employee lifecycle and ways in which an organisation should engage with potential, current and past employees. The Employer Brand focuses on the experiences and perspectives of organisations that have applied employer brand practices. It is a book about marketing – and the relationship of customers and employees; about culture – and the need for fundamental change in the role of the human resources function; about psychology – and the changing aspirations of the next generation of employees; and about hard-nosed business – and the tangible and intangible benefits of a successful employer branding strategy and how to realize them.
Through their actions, the lives of all the main characters become intertwined. Each character is unique in terms of who and what they stand for. Some are Black others White. Some are Jews others Christians. Avast chasm exists the characters, in terms of their social standing. One's background influences how the character will behave and what his or her fate will be. The characters in Dinah Blu, while works of the author's imagination strive to be true to life. In creating the characters, I have gone beyond mere ""stereo-typing"" inorder for the characters to appear quiet real on the page. The plot is built upon the experiences of the characters and it is the actions of the characters which define the work. And there is a specific time frame when all these actions occur. In keeping with my intent to deal with the themes which define a well written novel, the characters experience many things over the course of time. To describe each and every action which takes place in the novel would be too difficult. However, in keeping with the novel's intent, race, religion, war, justice, love, hate, wealth, poverty, suffering, joy, pain, happiness, hope, and despair are all explored through the various characters.
The vast majority of academic texts on motherhood have focused on women’s experiences of the early years of mothering, while texts covering the topic of home-leaving have tended to privilege the young person's experience. Combining lively empirical material with an illuminating social-theoretical framework, Trish Green's book addresses the much neglected area of the mother's experience of separation from her child at the time of their home-leaving. The book makes clear how the mother's experience of separation is silenced, first by the socio-cultural constructions of motherhood per se, second by the privileging of the child's transition to adulthood, and third by a neglect of the relational dimension of this particular life-course transition. In doing so the book makes an important contribution to debates on ageing, identity and the life-course, and will be of great interest to sociologists with various academic interests.

Staging Power in Tudor and Stuart English History Plays examines the changing ideological conceptions of sovereignty and their on-stage representations in the public theaters during the Elizabethan and early Stuart periods (1580-1642). The study examines the way in which the early modern stage presented a critical dialogue concerning the nature of sovereignty through the lens of specifically English history, focusing in particular on the presentation and representation of monarchy. It presents the subgenre of the English history play as a specific reaction to the surrounding political context capable of engaging with and influencing popular and elite conceptions of monarchy and government. This project is the first of its kind to specifically situate the early modern debate on sovereignty within a 'popular culture' dramatic context; its purpose is not only to provide an historical timeline of English political theory pertaining to monarchy, but to situate the drama as a significant influence on the production and dissemination thereof during the Tudor and Stuart periods. Some of the plays considered here, notably those by Shakespeare and Marlowe, have been extensively and thoroughly studied. But others-such as Edmund Ironside, Sir Thomas Wyatt, and King John and Matilda-have not previously been the focus of much critical attention.
Miraculous events occur every day in a Christian's life if they have the "eyes of their heart opened" as St. Paul prayed. Most supernatural events are unseen or not spiritually appraised by the average Christian. But at certain times, God breaks through our rationalizations and unbelief and reveals his Real Presence to us in the most amazing ways. This memoir is based on forty-four years of dreams, visions, angels and demons that were manifested to me, my wife Jane, and other family members. Of course, there were many days and nights when I experienced the "dark night of the soul," where God seemed distant and my spiritual soul was dry and in need of the water that comes from Jesus. This book was started fifteen years ago but I stopped writing as it was not the time to do it as God had other things for me to learn. Then, in 2011 I had a brain stroke caused by a blood clot. I was not able to work as a teacher for six months and I was left with mild paralysis on my right side. God allowed the stroke to happen but also taught me to be thankful for each day as life itself is a miracle! My prayer and hope for you is that you would take seriously the bible account of miracles in the four Gospels and in Luke's account of the early church in the book of Acts in the New Testament. St. Augustine said it best,"NOVERIM TE, NOVERIM ME." This translated is, "May I know you, may I know me.

The social history of music in Britain since 1950 has long been the subject of nostalgic articles in newspapers and magazines, nostalgic programmes on radio and television and collective memories on music websites, but to date there has been no proper scholarly study. The three volumes of The History of Live Music in Britain address this gap, and do so from the unique perspective of the music promoter: the key theme is the changing nature of the live music industry. The books are focused upon popular music but cover all musical genres and the authors offer new insights into a variety of issues, including changes in musical fashions and tastes; the impact of developing technologies; the balance of power between live and recorded music businesses; the role of the state as regulator and promoter; the effects of demographic and other social changes on music culture; and the continuing importance of do-it-yourself enthusiasts. Drawing on archival research, a wide range of academic and non-academic secondary sources, participant observation and industry interviews, the books are likely to become landmark works within Popular Music Studies and broader cultural history.
