Feynman invited Mehra to spend three weeks with him shortly before his death to interview him and talk about his life , and encouraged Mehra to write this book about his life and scientific work. What has emerged is a truly authoritative account of Feynman's life and achievements.

Douglas Brode's spirited defence of Disney entertainment argues that Disney paved the way for today's multicultural values through its positive portrayal of women, ethnic minorities, gays, and non-Christian spirituality and it was this portrayal of difference that promoted diversity decades before the 1990s.

In THE BEAT OF A DIFFERENT DRUM, More Stories from the Hunter-Gatherer Way, the author explores the mysteries of the Bronze Age; stone circles; stone rows; evolution and the reason for the planet. As well as sharing many "a-ha!" moments whilst gathering wild food on the "Ring of the Wild Food Year" migration route. Down to earth philosophy and female intuition make this a highly original account of journeys beyond the limits of every day thinking. Having walked around the world as a young woman, and been taught by Aborigines, Bushmen, Pygmies and North American Indians, Ffyona Campbell's unique perspective delighted readers in her last book. THE HUNTER-GATHERER WAY, Putting Back the Apple, was an unusual look at Stonehenge; the Druids; the Iron Age; the sword in the stone; and Adam and Eve. The author also pieced together an annual migration route we took as hunter-gatherers.

Volunteering and voluntary organizations have become increasingly important in British social and political life but at a cost. Greater prominence has led to a narrow and distorted view of what voluntary action involves and how it is undertaken. This book reasserts the case for a broader view of voluntarism as a unique set of autonomous activities.

Educators must both respond to the impact of trauma, and prevent trauma at school. Trauma-informed initiatives tend to focus on the challenging behaviors of students and ascribe them to circumstances that students are facing outside of school. This approach ignores the reality that inequity itself causes trauma, and that schools often heighten inequities when implementing trauma-informed practices that are not based in educational equity. In this fresh look at trauma-informed practice, Alex Shevrin Venet urges educators to shift equity to the center as they consider policies and professional development. Using a framework of six principles for equity-centered trauma-informed education, Venet offers practical action steps that teachers and school leaders can take from any starting point, using the resources and influence at their disposal to make shifts in practice, pedagogy, and policy. Overthrowing inequitable systems is a process, not an overnight change. But transformation is possible when educators work together, and teachers can do more than they realize from within their own classrooms.
