Описание: With a near 50% divorce rate in the United States, every parent who reads this book is either going through a divorce, has been divorced, is married to or living with someone who is divorced, or will go through one or more of his/her children`s divorces. Unlike books designed to enlighten parents about children`s reactions to divorce, A Parents` Guide to Child Custody is written for parents themselves. The book provides parents with an overview of the context within which custody is decided by courts today, including a chapter-by-chapter explanation of the factors that are considered by the court in rendering a custody decision. Part I opens the book with three brief case histories in which the reader is asked to put herself/himself in the place of the court by imaging what custody decisions they would make if they were the judge. This chapter is followed by an orientation to the three major factors that all courts consider in coming to a custody decision. Each subsequent chapter addresses the specific factors that are weighed by the court in its deliberations. Part II provides a more in-depth view of such topics as the factors considered by judges in coming to a custody decision, what to expect when undergoing a child custody evaluation, the use and pitfalls of psychological tests, the assessment of parental capacity, and strategies for countering false allegations. Part III reviews eight myths (i.e. commonly held misconceptions) about what is best for children, as well as guidelines for discussing custody with your children. Part IV provides insight into how best to deal with parental alienation, domestic violence, and obstruction of one parent`s access by the other parent after the court has ruled on custody. Part V concludes with eight sure-fire ways to lose custody as well as the custody evaluator`s recommendations in each of the three hypothetical cases presented in Part I. It is the author`s sincere hope that this book will help parents become better advocates for themselves and for their children.

Описание:
Iris Murdoch is widely acknowledged as one of the greatest writers of the twentieth century.
This collection brings together friends, colleagues, fellow and past students, and those who worked with her to celebrate Iris Murdoch's life, and mark the centenary of her birth. All contributors reflect on the impact that Murdoch had on their lives as friend, guide, and inspiration. This collection adds substantially to the biographical works already published, and gives a more rounded vision of her both as an intellectual, and a woman who valued her time out of the public eye. Finally, her friend, and fellow author, A. N. Wilson reflects on his own biography of Murdoch, the impact she had on his own life and writing, and why she was, ultimately, only fully knowable to herself.
Included are many previously unpublished unique photographs of Iris relaxing and in the company of her closest friends.
This centenary celebration of Iris Murdoch's life comprises eighteen tributes from various points of view. Whether she is glimpsed in these pages as a friend, a tutor, a godmother or a writer, or seen from the perspective of a child, a publisher, a politician or a portraitist, the picture that emerges remains constant: gracious, tolerant, fun-loving and wise. In its illustration of the depth of her humanity, this unique portrait of Iris Murdoch will enrich her status as one of the twentieth-century's most significant writers and thinkers.
Anne Rowe, Visiting Professor at the University of Chichester and author of Iris Murdoch (Writers and their Work series) co-author of Iris Murdoch: A Literary Life
This is a book of tributes to Iris Murdoch from those who knew her personally. They show her to be the best of friends: modest, imaginative, loyal, very generous, genuinely interested in others and, above all, immensely kind. It is clear from these short essays that Murdoch did not just think about goodness: she tried to live it every day. Iris Murdoch: A Centenary Celebration offers a fresh perspective on a great author and will be welcomed by both scholars and general readers alike.

Описание:
Education for Total Liberation is a collection of essays from leaders in the field of critical animal pedagogy (CAP). CAP emerges from activist educators teaching critical animal studies and is rooted in critical theory as well as the animal advocacy movement. Critical animal studies (CAS) argues for an interdisciplinary approach to understanding our relationships with nonhuman animals. CAS challenges two specific fields of theory: (1) animal studies, rooted in vivisection and testing on animals in the hard sciences and (2) human-animal studies, which reinforces a socially constructed binary between humans and animals and adopts abstract theoretical approaches. In contrast, CAS takes a progressive and committed approach to scholarship and sees the exploitation of nonhuman animals as interrelated with oppression of humans based on class, gender, race, ability, sexuality, age, and citizenship. CAS promotes the liberation of all animals and challenges all systems of domination. Education for Total Liberation is appropriate for undergraduate and graduate level readers (and beyond) who wish to learn from examples of radical pedagogical projects shaped by CAS and critical pedagogy.
