Cybele's Secret
by Juliet MarillierAt seventeen, scholarly Paula embarks on an adventure - a trip to Istanbul with her merchant father, Teodor, to purchase an ancient artefact known as Cybele's Gift. Paula's fervent wish to rediscover the mysterious Other Kingdom, the realm she and her sisters visited as children, has been replaced by a more practical ambition: to become a trader in books and manuscripts. But the ways of the Other Kingdom are never predictable. Clues and whispers soon convince Paula that she has been set a magical quest - and that the person laying the trail may be her lost sister Tati. Competition for Cybele's Gift is fierce, and Paula and Teodor soon find themselves in deadly danger in the great Ottoman city. Their protector against worldly perils is hired guard Stoyan, a young man with secrets of his own. When the artefact is finally unveiled, Paula finds herself on a wild chase by sea and land, accompanied by an unlikely pair of companions in adventure. Puzzles, riddles, tests of strength, and of loyalty, lie before them, and the price of failure is death. Along the way there are lessons to be learned in wisdom, trust and love.
Cyberbullying and Values Education: Implications for Family and School Education (Routledge Series on Life and Values Education)
by John Chi-Kin Lee Angel Nga Man Leung Kevin Ka Shing Chan Catalina Sau Man NgWritten by scholars from both the Western and Chinese contexts, this monograph discusses the relation between cyberbullying and socio-emotional-moral competencies, feasible interventions by integrating values education, and provides future directions in the field of cyberpsychology. Cyberbullying has become a growing concern in the digital age as it brings devastating impacts on its victims. Educating the younger generation, particularly through values education, also known as character, moral, or social-emotional learning, helps equip children and adolescents with the necessary ethical and moral attitudes, and foster the necessary socio-emotional competencies for them to navigate the digital world as responsible cyber-citizens. A central focus of the book is intervention and education. Cultivating competences and responsible use of technology in the younger generation through values education and evidence-based intervention helps combat cyberbullying. Families, schools, and communities can work together with suitable school programs, teacher education, and parents/school collaboration to help students cope with cyberbullying and create safer online spaces for them. Technology itself is not inherently good or bad but shaped by human choices and values. Supported by empirical evidence and theoretical insights, this book suggests ways to promote moral and emotional skills, foster digital citizenship, and encourage ethical technology design. This book provides a comprehensive understanding of cyberbullying. This timely resource will contribute to creating a safer and more positive online environment for all. It will inform researchers, educators, parents, and the community in combating cyberbullying by enabling children and adolescents to be responsible, ethical, and happy netizens.
Cyberbullying in Schools, Workplaces, and Romantic Relationships: The Many Lenses and Perspectives of Electronic Mistreatment
by Robin M. Kowalski Gary W. GiumettiThis volume brings together research on cyberbullying across contexts, age groups, and cultures to gain a fuller perspective of the prevalence and impact of electronic mistreatment on individual, group, and organizational outcomes. This is the first book to integrate research on cyberbullying across three contexts: schools, workplaces, and romantic relationships, providing a unique synthesis of lifespan contexts.For each context, the expert chapter authors bring together three different 'lenses': existing research on the predictors and outcomes of cyberbullying within that context; a cross-cultural review across national borders and cultural boundaries; and a developmental perspective that examines age-related differences in cyberbullying within that context. The book closes by drawing commonalities across these different contexts leading to a richer understanding of cyberbullying as a whole and some possible avenues for future research and practice.This is fascinating reading for researchers and upper-level students in social psychology, counseling, school psychology, industrial-organizational psychology, and developmental psychology, as well as educators and administrators.
Cyberbullying: From Theory to Intervention (Bullying And Victimization Ser.)
by Trijntje Völlink Francine Dehue Conor GuckinThe study of cyberbullying has exploded since its first appearance in a peer-reviewed journal article in 2005. Cyberbullying: From theory to intervention aims to make clear and practical sense of this proliferation of coverage by defining the problem of cyberbullying and examining its unique features. The volume provides a thorough overview of state-of-the-art research into the phenomenon, and discusses the development and evaluation of interventions to prevent and combat it. Whereas most research papers offer limited space to describe actual intervention methods, this book provides tremendous insight into the different theoretical methods and practical strategies available to combat cyberbullying. Part One provides readers with a critical review of the existing research literature and collects insights from international researchers involved in bullying and cyberbullying research, tackling key questions such as: how is cyberbullying defined, what is the overlap with traditional bullying, and what are the negative consequences of cyberbullying? Part Two gives an overview of the development and content of evidence-based ICT interventions aimed at preventing and combating bullying and cyberbullying. In addition, some of the important outcomes of the effect evaluations will be described. The book's final chapter integrates the information from Part One with advice regarding practical applications from Part Two. Cyberbullying: From theory to intervention is essential reading for academics and researchers concerned with both cyberbullying and traditional bullying. It can be used in graduate seminars or advanced undergraduate courses in cyberbullying and will also be of interest to teachers, field experts and organisations involved and disseminating cyberbullying solutions.

Between the Internet, gaming systems, mp3 players, and cell phones, today's kids are nearly always connected to something digital.

Cygnet: A Novel
by Season ButlerWinner of the Writers’ Guild Award for Best First NovelAn utterly original coming-of-age tale, marked by wrenching humor and staggering charisma, about a young woman resisting the savagery of adulthood in a community of the elderly rejecting the promise of youth.“Season Butler has written an imaginative, atmospheric and original novel that lingers in the memory long after reading. She is a bright new voice in literature.” —Bernardine Evaristo, Booker Prize-winning author of Girl, Woman, Other“It’s too hot for most of the clothes I packed to come here, when I thought this would only be for a week or two. My mother kissed me with those purple-brown lips of hers and said, we’ll be back, hold tight.”The seventeen-year-old Kid doesn’t know where her parents are. They left her with her grandmother Lolly, promising to return soon. That was months ago. Now Lolly is dead and the Kid is alone, stranded ten miles off the coast of New Hampshire on tiny Swan Island. Unable to reach her parents and with no other relatives to turn to, she works for a neighbor, airbrushing the past by digitally retouching family photos and movies to earn enough money to survive.Surrounded by the vast ocean, the Kid’s temporary home is no ordinary vacation retreat. The island is populated by an idiosyncratic group of the elderly who call themselves Wrinklies. They have left behind the youth-obsessed mainland—“the Bad Place”—to create their own alternative community, one where only the elderly are welcome. The adolescent’s presence on their island oasis unnerves the Wrinklies, turning some downright hostile. They don’t care if she has nowhere to go;they just want her gone. She is a reminder of all they’ve left behind and are determined to forget.But the Kid isn’t the only problem threatening the insular community. Swan Island is eroding into the rising sea, threatening the Wrinklies’ very existence there. The Kid’s own house edges closer to the seaside cliffs each day. To find a way forward, she must come to terms with the realities of her life, the inevitability of loss, and an unknown future that is hers alone to embrace.Season Butler makes her literary debut with an ambitious work of bold imagination. Tough and tender, compassionate and ferocious, understated and provocative, Cygnet is a meditation on death and life, past and future, aging and youth, memory and forgetting, that explores what it means to find acceptance—of things gone and of those yet to come.

This sweet and groundbreaking picture book, winner of the 2020 Stonewall Book Award, celebrates the changes in a transgender boy's life, from his initial coming-out to becoming a big brother.Cuando Aidan nació, todos pensaron que era una niña. Sus papás le dieron un nombre bonito, su cuarto se veía como un cuarto de niña y usaba ropa que le gustaba a otras niñas. Después de darse cuenta que era un niño trans, Aidan y sus papás arreglaron las partes de su vida que ya no encajaban y se asentó alegremente a su nueva vida. Y luego su mamá y papá anunciaron que iban a tener otro bebe. Aidan quiere hacer todo que se pueda para asegurar que todo esté bien para su nueva hermana o hermano desde el principio: desde escoger el nombre perfecto hasta crear un cuarto hermoso y encontrar el mameluco más precioso. ¿Pero, de echo, qué significa hacer que "todo esté bien"? ¿Y qué pasa si se equivoca? Con un poquito de ayuda, Aidan llega a entender que los errores se pueden arreglar con honestidad y comunicación. Y que ya sabe la cosa más importante sobre ser un hermano mayor: cómo amar con todo su ser. Cómo Aidan llegó a ser un hermano es un libro conmovedor que va a resonar con niños y niñas transgénero, tranquilizar cualquier preocupación de niños y niñas que van a ser hermanos o hermanas mayores y celebrar las muchas transiciones por las que puede pasar una familia. - When Aidan was born, everyone thought he was a girl. His parents gave him a pretty name, his room looked like a girl's room, and he wore clothes that other girls liked wearing. After he realized he was a trans boy, Aidan and his parents fixed the parts of life that didn't fit anymore, and he settled happily into his new life. Then Mom and Dad announce that they're going to have another baby, and Aidan wants to do everything he can to make things right for his new sibling from the beginning--from choosing the perfect name to creating a beautiful room to picking out the cutest onesie. But what does "making things right" actually mean? And what happens if he messes up? With a little help, Aidan comes to understand that mistakes can be fixed with honesty and communication, and that he already knows the most important thing about being a big brother: how to love with his whole self. When Aidan Became a Brother is a heartwarming book that will resonate with transgender children, reassure any child concerned about becoming an older sibling, and celebrate the many transitions a family can experience.

Cómo amar a una hija
by Hila BlumGanadora del prestigioso Premio Sapir, esta historia de gran sensibilidad cuestiona el amor materno, los errores y los lazos que unen o desunen a una madre y su hija A cinco mil kilómetros de su hogar, sola, en una oscura carretera de los Países Bajos, una mujer se asoma a una ventana iluminada. Dentro, dos niños juegan y ríen: son sus nietas, pero Yeona nunca las ha conocido. Hace años, su hija Lea abandonó Jerusalén para construirse una vida en otro lugar, sin decir una palabra, sin dar más noticias. Sin embargo, hubo un tiempo en que madre e hija eran inseparables, en que lo eran todo la una para la otra. Con una exquisita precisión psicológica, Blum rastrea los pasos en falso insignificantes en apariencia y los engaños de la vida familiar, en la que es posible cruzar la línea entre la protección y la posesión sin que nos demos cuenta, y sin saber si podremos encontrar el camino de regreso. La crítica ha dicho:«Un viaje psicológico lleno de suspense que se adentra en el misterio de cómo el amor maternal más puro puede tener consecuencias indeseables e incluso desastrosas».Sigrid Nunez «Una historia emocionante y muy bien contada».SFR «Hila Blum entrelaza citas de grandes escritoras, como Atwood, Munro yStrout. El lacónico estilo narrativo de Blum recuerda sus grandes crónicas del drama familiar cotidiano».P.S. Zeitung «Hay similitudes entre la escritura de Alice Munro y la de Hila Blum, en la forma en que describen vidas enteras, con discreción, humildad y contención».Haaretz «Un libro dolorosamente bello y cruelmente honesto sobre el problema del amor de los padres».Kleine Zeitung«Con verdadera audacia, Hila Blum construye una tensión increíble desde la primera frase».NDR «Una hábil disección del amor materno mal aplicado. [...] En parte historia detectivestca, y en parte fábula moral».Kirkus Reviews

Cómo criar hijxs no machistas: Preguntas, ideas y desafíos
by Ariel Dorfman Liora GomelEstas páginas permiten a los padres intentar una alternativa distinta a la crianza sexista y así ayudar a los niños y a las niñas a salir de sus cajas rosa y celeste para encontrar sus identidades en un amplio mundo inclusivo. ¿Queremos que nuestras hijas e hijos reciban exactamente la misma educación que nosotros? ¿O preferimos hacer pequeños y grandes esfuerzos para no transmitirles, de formas sutiles (y no tanto), la cultura machista? Un primer paso para comenzar a desmontar el sexismo es verlo, desarmar sus tramas invisibles; después, cuestionar los estereotipos que muchas veces repetimos sin darnos cuenta. Por inercia, podemos ser parte de la cultura que dice que las nenas van de rosa y los nenes de celeste; que a ellas se las felicita por ser lindas y simpáticas, y a ellos, por ser inteligentes y valientes. Y todo lo que viene después. Somos personas, autores, pareja, y criamos juntos hijos e hijas. Este libro nos desafió en todos esos sentidos y en el péndulo que va de lo particular a lo colectivo: nos da tiempo para pensarnos como padre y madre y revisar nuestras prácticas con respecto a una crianza igualitaria, pero también nuestro vínculo y nuestras individualidades para encontrar esas zonas grises en las que todavía no estamos del todo cómodos y no somos del todo iguales. Porque los dos lavamos los platos y cocinamos, y ninguno de los dos plancha, pero Ariel es mejor en la verdulería y el cuaderno de comunicaciones lo mira Liora; y ambos cargamos nafta, pero el mecánico sigue siendo de Ariel, aunque Liora se lleva mejor con las herramientas. Estas páginas contienen distintas reflexiones, ideas y estrategias para avanzar en un proyecto de crianza inclusivo e igualitario: aparecen en forma de preguntas, películas, libros, debates, series, canciones o palabras clave.
