Summary

For 50 years, educator and sociologist Geoff Whitty resolutely
pursued social justice through education, first as a classroom teacher and ultimately
as the Director of the Institute of Education in London. 
The
essays in this volume - written by some of the most influential authors in the
sociology of education and critical policy studies - take Whitty’s work as the
starting point from which to examine key contemporary issues in education and
the challenges to social justice that they present. Set within three themes of
knowledge, policy and practice in education, the chapters tackle the issues of
defining and accessing ‘legitimate’ knowledge, the changing nature of education
policy under neoliberalism and globalization, and the reshaping of teacher
workplaces and professionalism – as well as attempts to realize more
emancipatory practice. Whitty’s scholarship on what constitutes quality and
impact in educational research is also explored. 




Together, the essays open a
window on a life in the sociology of education, the scholarly community of
which it was part, and the facets of education policy, practice and research
that they continue to reveal and challenge in pursuit of social justice. They
celebrate Whitty as one of the foremost sociologists of education of his
generation, but also as a friend and colleague. And they highlight the
continued relevance of his contribution to those seeking to promote fairer and
more inclusive education systems.

    Every addictive drug and behavior is as unique as the individual caught in it. This book abandons the recovery-industry “one-size-fits-all” mentality by separating each drug and behavior and provides strategies that are customized, specific and detailed. Addiction is a pathological disorder that affects every society and every culture on this planet and has for thousands of years. It is much more pervasive than other clinical disorders; it is a defect of brain chemistry, mental and emotional wellness, spirituality and character loss. We are all addicts, varying only in degree and expression as we are all driven to fulfill our desires and compensate for our defects.  
This is one of the only books written by a science-minded, professional who also has 20 years of sobriety from 11 years of narcotics IV using. Most recovery programs and literature today are designed by clinicians who are well educated but cannot personally report on the ineffable experience of addiction and recovery. This lack of personal insight compromises their ability to truly understand and provide the full spectrum of recovery needs. When I began my addiction-recovery I was woefully disappointed in the available programs, as it seems nothing authentic and cerebral was available, no matter how much money, time or commitment I had. The multi-billion dollar recovery-industry, with less than a 9% success rate, needs an overhaul. The recovery industry regurgitates the same treatments, but AD sufferers deserve modern options that are appropriate for this progressive age. PROJECT ADDICTION is a usable, innovative, unconventional guide covering the entire spectrum of addictive drugs and behaviors: what it’s like to use them, abuse them, be addicted to them and to liberate from them.  
No stone is left unturned!

    For mental health professionals who must regularly guard against compassion fatigue and secondary traumatization, intentional self-care isn't just essential; it's a survival tool. If therapists don't take proper care of themselves, they can't do their work effectively.Taking up an exercise program, going on a vacation, turning to supportive social networks, while helpful remedies to the stresses of the job, are not always feasible and the results are often only short term. Synthesizing the latest thinking in mindfulness, neuroscience, energy medicine, and spiritual disciplines, Simple Self-Care for Therapists offers immediate relief in doable, bite-sized nuggets—easy exercises that can be seamlessly integrated into your current workday routine with little fuss.Over sixty restorative practices are presented—tools for grounding, energizing, and relaxing—organized as antidotes to the most common pathologies that therapists suffer: vicarious trauma, compassion fatigue, and burnout. Bush, a therapist with over twenty-five years of experience, walks listeners through the descriptions and simple implementation of each practice, with illuminating stories from her own professional experiences.
