Inspired to Learn

Why We Must Give Children Hope

By: Stephen G. Peters

Steve Peters, former classroom teacher and principal of a Virginia Blue Ribbon School, shares his practical strategies, philosophies, beliefs, and message of hope with organisations and school districts throughout the United States and has been featured on such television programs as the Oprah Winfrey Show, and 'America, American'. Mr Peters led the 1100 student Lafayette-Winona Middle School, once marred by violence and tragically low test scores, into recognition as a Virginia Blue Ribbon School. Through a partnership with teachers and the school community Mr Peters and his team conceptualised effective intervention strategies like 'The Gentlemen's Club'. This book profiles the process that Mr Peters used to inspire hope within those students identified as most at risk and how he, his teachers, and his entire school community provided a climate and culture that inspired children toward respect, responsibility, and the diligent pursuit of their dreams and aspirations. Inspiring children to learn is not a new concept but an age-old truth.

Rethinking Governance

The Centrality of the State in Modern Society

By: Stephen Bell,Andrew Hindmoor

Several problems plague contemporary thinking about governance. From the multiple definitions that are often vague and confusing, to the assumption that governance strategies, networks and markets represent attempts by weakening states to maintain control. Rethinking Governance questions this view and seeks to clarify how we understand governance. Arguing that it is best understood as 'the strategies used by governments to help govern', the authors counter the view that governments have been decentred. They show that far from receding, states are in fact enhancing their capacity to govern by developing closer ties with non-government sectors. Identifying five 'modes' of government (governance through hierarchy, persuasion, markets and contracts, community engagement, and network associations), Stephen Bell and Andrew Hindmoor use practical examples to explore the strengths and limitations of each. In so doing, they demonstrate how modern states are using a mixture of governance modes to address specific policy problems. This book demonstrates why the argument that states are being 'hollowed out' is overblown.

By: Stephen G. Lindsey

IF YOU ARE A PARENT, SCHOOLTEACHER, LAW ENFORCEMENT OFFICER, or mental healthcare provider, Toxic Families, Violent Lives lays out what you need to know about what is causing heightened levels of childhood/adolescent mental illness, behavioral disorders, juvenile alcohol and substance abuse, gang membership, school dropouts, teen pregnancies, and pervasive crime and violence. Toxic Families, Violent Lives gets at the root of the problem. It's all about the impediments to healthy childhood/adolescent physical, psychological, emotional, intellectual, and moral development. This book identifies a range of adverse childhood experiences that are the direct result of toxic family life rooted in poor parenting practices, and a range of dysfunctional and problematic parent behavior stemming from adult mental illness, alcohol and substance abuse, obsessions, insecurities, depression, anxiety, and maladaptive coping mechanisms. Parents need to understand the importance of developing a parent-child attachment, and a child’s self-control, empathy, and moral foundation. What can parents, schoolteachers, law enforcement, and mental health professionals do? Understand the pathways and pitfalls to healthy childhood / adolescent development and take an active role in that process. This book takes a read it, understand it, and apply it approach to the problem.

Public Service Logic

Creating Value for Public Service Users, Citizens, and Society Through Public Service Delivery

By: Stephen Osborne

This book is based upon and extends the theoretical and empirical work of the author over the last decade. It integrates material deriving from his previous conceptual and empirical work in this field, together with new empirical evidence from emerging research. Public Service Logic challenges the product-dominant assumptions of the New Public Management (NPM) about the nature and management of public service delivery. Whilst the NPM has led to some important developments in public management, it has also had significant limitations and weaknesses. The book presents an alternative to this, as a framework for the future delivery and reform of public services globally. It draws upon the extant literature in the field of service management to argue for a Public Service Logic (PSL) for the delivery of public services. This situates public service delivery within the vibrant and influential field of service-dominant research and theory. It argues that effective public service management requires both that these services are understood as services not as products and that, consequently, public service management requires a focus on value creation as its over-arching rationale. The book presents a major new framework of value creation for public service delivery as a basis for public service reform, explores the role of service managers and staff and of citizens and service users in this value creation process, and evaluates the implications of this new framework for both the strategic and operational management of public service delivery, their performance management and the development and innovation of new forms of public services. It will be of interest to researchers and students in the fields of public management and public administration, as well as to policy makers and public service managers.

Negative Emissions Technologies for Climate Change Mitigation

By: Steve A. Rackley,Tingzhen Ming,Wei Li,Michael Tyka,Adrienne Sewel,Diarmaid Clery,George Dowson,Peter Styring,Graham Andrews,Stephen McCord,Pol Knops,Renaud de Richter

Negative Emissions Technologies for Climate Change Mitigation provides a comprehensive introduction to the full range of technologies that are being researched, developed and deployed in order to transition from our current energy system, dominated by fossil fuels, to a negative-carbon emissions system. After an introduction to the challenge of climate change, the technical fundamentals of natural and engineered carbon dioxide removal and storage processes and technologies are described. Each NET is then discussed in detail, including the key elements of the technology, enablers and constraints, governance issues, and global potential and cost estimates.This book offers a complete overview of the field, thus enabling the community to gain a full appreciation of NETs without the need to seek out and refer to a multitude of sources. - Covers the full spectrum of technologies to underpin the transition to a negative emissions energy system, from technical fundamentals to the current state of deployment and R&D - Critically evaluates each technology, highlighting advantages, limitations, and the potential for large scale environmental applications - Combines natural science and environmental science perspectives with the practical use of state-of-the-art technologies for sustainability
