  With real life case studies and scenarios woven throughout, this empowering book challenges perspectives, raises awareness, and inspires the listener to reevaluate the norm to make a true difference to the children in their care. It will be an essential guide for primary school teachers, head teachers, SENCOs, and support staff who want to put children's wellbeing at the core of their practice.

  What would cause a proclaimed prophet to run away from everything he called home and dodge the 
  unyielding God of his tribe? Devoted to an uncompromising commitment to selfhood, Dr. Doug Wheeler 
  challenges the traditional assumption that Jonah was a miserable coward by examining him as a deeply 
  conflicted, courageous, and soulful man. With a poetic flair, Reimagining Jonah provokes and confounds 
  with language flavored by trauma and empathy, producing a richly contemplative and profoundly human 
  version of this well-known tale. 
  “Here is the story of Jonah like you have never heard it before! Doug Wheeler brings to his writing his 
  long wise years as a pastoral therapist. He knows that every story we tell — including Jonah’s — is thick 
  with subterranean transactions and freighted with background. It turns out that the story, in his gifted 
  artistry, is an account of being “born again” in freedom as a true self, engaged with the real world, and 
  partnered with the holy God who is well beyond all of our idols. Wheeler insists in an inescapable way on 
  our being participants in the narrative, with an earnest of good outcomes for our role in the story that is as 
  contemporary as it is ancient.” 
  — Walter Brueggemann, Professor Emeritus of Old Testament, Columbia Theological Seminary

It challenges readers to question the accepted narratives and to understand that history is not just the story of the victors, but a tapestry woven with the countless stories of everyday people. 
  Join us in exploring a vibrant and starkly different perspective on American history, where the voiceless get a voice and the unsung heroes take the center stage. It is not just a recounting of history; it is a call to consciousness, an invitation to rethink the past, and to forge a future that is inclusive, just, and fair.

  [How to Recognize Toxic Stress] delves deep into the invisible architecture of modern anxiety, illuminating the subtle ways our bodies and minds carry the weight of constant vigilance. With prose that flows like a gentle stream of consciousness, this groundbreaking exploration maps the delicate intersections between our physical responses and emotional landscapes. Through intimate observations of how stress settles into our shoulders on ordinary Tuesday mornings and nests in the spaces between breaths, the book reveals the profound wisdom of our bodies' ancient language. Drawing on cutting-edge research in neuroscience and psychology, it examines how our nervous systems have become unwitting hosts to a perpetual state of alertness, transforming what should be temporary visitors into permanent residents in our lives. The narrative weaves together personal insights with scientific understanding, creating a tapestry that helps readers recognize their own patterns of toxic stress while offering a compassionate framework for understanding these responses not as personal failings, but as natural adaptations to an increasingly demanding world.

  The Beatons - A Medical Kindred...

  This book traces the Clann Meic-bethad or Clan MacBeth whose members practised medicine in the classic Gaelic tradition in various parts of Scotland from the early fourteenth to the early eighteenth century. From many medieval Gaelic manuscripts known to have been in their possession, individual members of the clan and their activities are identified. Sometime in the second half of the sixteenth century the kindred began to adopt Beaton as a surname for use in non-Gaelic contexts.
  The medical Beatons fell naturally into two divisions: one confined mainly to the Western Isles and the other to the mainland of Scotland. This detailed study of the Beatons and their medicine describes how the position of medical doctor was inherited by the eldest son, and potential Beaton physicians were sent out to be trained by other members of the family for several years before undertaking their own practice. The book provides information on medieval medicine at the highest levels of Highland society.
