The Nature of Transformation

Environmental Adult Education

By: Darlene E. Clover,Bruno de O. Jayme,Budd L. Hall,Shirley Follen

The Nature of Transformation: Environmental Adult Education is based on 15 years of educating for social-environmental change around the world. It is for adult and community educators, trainers, literacy and health care practitioners, social activists, community artists and animators, labour educators, and professors in higher education interested in weaving environmental issues in to their educational practice. It is also for environmental activists and educators who want to link social issues to environmental issues and problems. This book is a contribution to the discourse and practice of adult education in the community and/or the academy, aimed to respond creativity and critically the contemporary socio-environmental crisis and to encourage hope and a stronger sense of political agency through an ecological approach to teaching, and learning. The Nature of Transformation includes a discussion of key adult education theories we used to augment our educational practice, provides a plethora educational activities, shares workshop design considerations and some of the challenges we faced in our wok, as well as stories from adult and community educators around the world. The book concludes with a list of resources to enhance understandings of adult education theory and practice. The Nature of Transformation illustrates how to critically and creatively integrate the rest of nature, concepts of ecological and gender and justice, citizenship, critical environmental consciousness and activism into educating and learning in community settings, organisations, education institutions or workplaces. In particular, there is an emphasis on using the arts as a tool for learning and change. With its emphasis on acknowledging and confronting ecological oppression, working towards socio-environmental justice, ensuring hope and fun are integral to the learning process, encouraging defiance, agency and creativity, challenging assumptions, and helping people to find solutions environmental adult education is a valuable player in any pedagogical quest for change and transformation.

Morning

That Time of Day

By: Shirley A. McGarrell

O Glorious morning! What a wonderful day! Mornings are always full of expectation and hope for the days they bring forth. Each day, they shed a new light on life. The dew in the morning before the sunrise, is a soft touch that starts the day, which could be full of activity, or a day of slumber and relaxation. The beauty of morning is that it can never be the same for each day. It will always be new. It will always be different. And it will always be a gift. In the Maracas Valley of St. Joseph, Trinidad, where the author and her beloved husband, Roy, have resided for the past twenty-plus years, the morning mist veils the sun, and allows for a gentle movement into each new day. Mornings are about rebirth. This book about mornings presents a unique opportunity to look at the start of a variety of new beginnings, each with its own portent. The author moves the reader along on the journey of each special day. She receives what is presented, and works with it, never leaving hope behind. I can personally testify to this. She gave me hope and raised me up at a time when I had to dig deep to find it. She demonstrates how life has value for her in spite of what is thrown her way. She accepts her slice, and moves on like a flowing river. This book has a message for persons in all walks of life, and of all ages. Its messages are profound without being weighty. In essence, they are fresh, like the early morning breeze in the Maracas Valley of St. Joseph. It is her hope that readers will be blessed by bringing a fresh-breeze-perception to every morning.

Selected Works of Shirley Burke Oaks Vol.1

By: Shirley Burke Oaks

The short stories captured on these pages are snippets of a well-lived life. I gathered information like a thief through the years and then one lovely and sunny day, I put pen to paper, filled my mouth with ink and spat it all on paper. What fun I had with these, my precious little stories. I have a Blue Million more to write.

Come Along with Me

Classic Short Stories and an Unfinished Novel

By: Shirley Jackson

A haunting and psychologically driven collection from Shirley Jackson that includes her best-known story "The Lottery" At last, Shirley Jackson's "The Lottery" enters Penguin Classics, sixty-five years after it shocked America audiences and elicited the most responses of any piece in New Yorker history. In her gothic visions of small-town America, Jackson, the author of such masterworks as The Haunting of Hill House and We Have Always Lived in the Castle, turns an ordinary world into a supernatural nightmare. This eclectic collection goes beyond her horror writing, revealing the full spectrum of her literary genius. In addition to Come Along with Me, Jackson's unfinished novel about the quirky inner life of a lonely widow, it features sixteen short stories and three lectures she delivered during her last years. For more than seventy years, Penguin has been the leading publisher of classic literature in the English-speaking world. With more than 1,700 titles, Penguin Classics represents a global bookshelf of the best works throughout history and across genres and disciplines. Readers trust the series to provide authoritative texts enhanced by introductions and notes by distinguished scholars and contemporary authors, as well as up-to-date translations by award-winning translators.
