His Children


Book Description

Nestled near the Missouri-Arkansas border, Clyde County is an indistinguishable blip on the map. Nothing ever happens here - at least nothing ever did. When a boy is strung up, crucified on the shoulder of a country road, investigative reporter Leonard Beard finds himself turning over the soil of the Missouri South. It's not long before he's tangled in a web of murder and lies, spiraling down a rabbit hole of child abductions dating back nine years. In his debut novel, L.H. Varney examines the darkest corners of the human mind. His Children is a gripping story, exploring the atrocities of a man who has become corrupted by divine assignment.




Babar at Home


Book Description

The artist of this illustrated typescript is unknown; it is not in the hand of either of the authors of the Babar series, Jean or Laurent de Brunhoff. It is believed to have been prepared for a BBC production of Jean de Brunhoff's book "Babar en famille" (translated as "Babar at Home" in England and "Babar and His Children" in the United States). It has been suggested that this illustrated typescript was prepared for a production for the BBC children's series "Blue Peter," but the BBC archives does not have a record of a production of "Babar at Home" on that television show. The story was read by Maurice Roeves on the BBC series "Jackanory" on May 28, 1975, but this show did not have a format that would have accomodated an illustrated story such as this one.

Women Education Scholars and their Children's Schooling


Book Description

This volume offers both theoretical and research-based accounts from mothers in academia who must balance their own intricate knowledge of school systems, curriculum and pedagogy with their children’s education and school lives. It explores the contextual advantages and disadvantages of "knowing too much" and how this impacts children’s actions, scholastics and developing consciousness along various lines. Additionally, it allows teachers, administrators and researchers to critically examine their own discourses and those of their students to better navigate their professional and domestic roles. Gathering narratives from academic women in traditional and nontraditional maternal roles, this volume presents both contemporary and retrospective experiences of what it’s like to raise children amidst educational and sociocultural change.
