Tender Paws: How Science-Based Parenting Can Transform Our Relationship with Dogs
by Wendy Lyons SunshineTender Paws takes a deep dive into the practical benefits of applying therapeutic parenting best practices to dogs in our care.When Wendy Lyons Sunshine got her first puppy—abandoned behind a gas station, struggling with worms and anemia—she was in over her head. As puppy training guides failed to help her with the out-of-control, traumatized bundle of teeth and claws rescue pup, she turned to her work helping world-class child development experts. Could strategies for raising happy, well-adjusted kids transfer to a puppy? As it turns out, yes, they can! From the first try, parenting wisdom transformed Sunshine&’s relationship with her challenging little one. Soon enough, Sunshine&’s view of her puppy shifted from one of adversity to one of compassion and understanding, and she was able to bring patience and therapeutic concepts to meet her dog&’s needs. When Sunshine reached out to experts, they affirmed that science-based principles used with at-risk children align well with best practices of holistic, positive, and progressive dog handling. Exploring parallels between human and canine research, attachment styles, history of trauma, parenting styles, and her own &“inner child&” proved a mindful path for pet parenting. Far from a standard dog training manual, Tender Paws explicitly applies parenting wisdom and best practices used with special needs kids to a cross-section of scenarios, from recognizing developmental trauma and unmet core needs, to making decisions about appropriate equipment, to responding to difficult behavior, to understanding the parenting style from which we approach our dogs. Sunshine empowers you and your dog by offering: A synthesis of the fields of child development, attachment, trauma, sensory integration, neurobiology, learning, animal behavior, and ethology. A problem-solving framework that makes dog training decisions clearer and behavior frustrations easier to resolve. Parenting wisdom to help your dog move beyond trauma and into wellness. Borrowing the principles of parenting for dogs feels obvious to some people: instinctive and ordinary and inevitable. But that&’s not true for everyone, especially those of us who had a less than ideal childhood and bear the scars of early harm, loss, trauma, or deprivation. Tender Paws provides an interdisciplinary, comprehensive, evidence-based guide for readers who want to honor the needs of—and improve outcomes for—puppies and dogs they care about.

What Souls Are Made Of: A Wuthering Heights Remix (Remixed Classics #4)
by Tasha SuriIn the Remixed Classics series, authors from marginalized backgrounds reinterpret classic works through their own cultural lens to subvert the overwhelming cishet, white, and male canon. Two British Indian teens cut off from their heritage find solace in each other in this gothic Wuthering Heights YA remix that subverts the default whiteness of the original text.Sometimes, lost things find their way home...Yorkshire, North of England, 1786. As the abandoned son of a lascar—a sailor from India—Heathcliff has spent most of his young life maligned as an "outsider." Now he's been flung into an alien life in the Yorkshire moors, where he clings to his birth father's language even though it makes the children of the house call him an animal, and the maids claim he speaks gibberish.Catherine is the younger child of the estate's owner, a daughter with light skin and brown curls and a mother that nobody talks about. Her father is grooming her for a place in proper society, and that's all that matters. Catherine knows she must mold herself into someone pretty and good and marriageable, even though it might destroy her spirit.As they occasionally flee into the moors to escape judgment and share the half-remembered language of their unknown kin, Catherine and Heathcliff come to find solace in each other. Deep down in their souls, they can feel they are the same.But when Catherine's father dies and the household's treatment of Heathcliff only grows more cruel, their relationship becomes strained and threatens to unravel. For how can they ever be together, when loving each other—and indeed, loving themselves—is as good as throwing themselves into poverty and death?Praise for What Souls Are Made Of:"A gorgeously reclaimed Gothic. ... I’m a Tasha Suri fan for life." —Chloe Gong, New York Times-bestselling author of These Violent Delights"With its brooding characters, gorgeous setting, and a romance that sparkles with electricity, this retelling of Wuthering Heights breathes fresh air into an old classic." —Stacey Lee, New York Times-bestselling author of The Downstairs Girl and Luck of the TitanicThe Remixed Classics SeriesA Clash of Steel: A Treasure Island Remix by C.B.

Atlantis Ek Rahasyamay Dwip: अटलांटिस एक रहस्यमयी द्वीप
by Shivendra Suryavanshiहम जब भी अटलांटिस के बारे में सोचते हैं, हमारी आँखों के सामने सागर में डूबी एक भव्य सभ्यता नजर आने लगती है। अटलांटिस देवताओं की वह धरती जिसका जिक्र सर्वप्रथम प्लेटो ने अपनी पुस्तक ‘टाइमियस’ और ‘क्रिटियास’ में किया था। कहते हैं अटलांटिस का विज्ञान आज के विज्ञान से हजारों गुना ज्यादा बेहतर था। पर एक दिन धरती के जोर से हिलने की वजह से पूरी अटलांटिस सभ्यता कहीं सागर में समा गई। तब से लेकर आज तक वैज्ञानिक, आर्कियोलॉजिस्ट उस सभ्यता को ढूंढने का प्रयत्न कर रहे हैं। ईश्वर को ब्रह्मांड के निर्माण के लिये 7 तत्वों की आवश्यकता थी- अग्नि, जल, वायु, पृथ्वी, आकाश, ध्वनि और प्रकाश। इन 7 तत्वों से ईश्वर ने ब्रह्मांड का निर्माण किया। पर अभी भी ईश्वर की सबसे अद्वितीय रचना बाकी थी और वह थी जीवन की उत्पत्ति। जीवन की उत्पत्ति के लिये ईश्वर ने ‘ब्रह्मकण’ का निर्माण किया, जिसे अंग्रेजी में ‘गॉड-पार्टिकल’ या 'हिग्स-बोसन' कहा जाता है। इस ब्रह्मकण ने ब्रह्मांड के हर जीव का निर्माण किया। क्या था यह ब्रह्मकण? जिसने अलग-अलग प्रकार के अरबों-खरबों जीवों की रचना की, जिसने इन्हें इतना अलग-अलग बनाया। इस कथानक में जहां एक ओर तिलिस्म, जादू, चमत्कार और रहस्य है, वहीं दूसरी ओर विज्ञान की एक अद्भुत दुनिया है, जो बिग-बैंग, ब्लैक होल, नेबुला और डार्क मैटर जैसे सिद्धांतों को खोलती है। पौराणिक कथाओं और विज्ञान के ताने बाने से बुना हुआ एक अद्भुत कथानक।
Devshakti Adbhut Divyastra: देवशक्ति अद्भुत दिव्यास्त्र
by Shivendra Suryavanshiशक्ति- एक ऐसा शब्द जिसे प्राप्त करने के लिये, मनुष्य, देवता, दैत्य ही नहीं अपितु अंतरिक्ष के जीव भी सदैव लालायित रहते हैं। शक्ति का पर्याय स्वामित्व से जुड़ता है, इसलिये ब्रह्मांड के सभी जीव शक्ति को प्राप्त कर, स्वयं को श्रेष्ठ दिखाना चाहते हैं। वन में मौजूद एक सिंह भी, अन्य वन्य प्राणियों के समक्ष अपनी शक्ति का प्रदर्शन करने से नहीं चूकता। ठीक उसी प्रकार कुछ देवता भी मनुष्यों के समक्ष, अपना शक्ति प्रदर्शन कर, उनमें भय की भावना उत्पन्न करते रहते हैं। जैसे देवराज इंद्र के द्वारा जलप्रलय लाना या सूर्यदेव के द्वारा सूखे की स्थिति उत्पन्न कर देना। यह सब भी शक्ति प्रदर्शन के अद्वितीय उदाहरण हैं। दैत्यों ने हमेशा त्रिदेवों से ही शक्ति प्राप्त कर, उनका प्रयोग देवताओं के ही विरुद्ध किया है। इन शक्तियों को प्राप्त करने के लिये, मनुष्यों ने भी घोर तप किये हैं। कुछ ऐसी ही देवशक्तियों को, पृथ्वी की सुरक्षा के लिये, देवताओं ने पृथ्वी के अलग-अलग भागों में छिपा दिया, जिससे समय आने पर कुछ दिव्य मानव, उन देव शक्तियों को धारण कर, पृथ्वी की सुरक्षा का भार उठा सकें। ऐसे ही देवशक्ति धारक कुछ विलक्षण मनुष्य बाद में ब्रह्मांड रक्षक कहलाये।
Routledge Handbook of African Social Work Education (Routledge International Handbooks)
by Susan Levy, Uzoma Odera Okoye, Pius T. Tanga and Richard IngramThis timely Routledge Handbook creates a much-needed space to explore what makes social work uniquely African, as well as shaping, informing, and influencing a new culturally relevant era of social work. The specific focus on social work education offers approaches to transition away from the hegemony of Western literature, knowledge, and practice models underpinning African social work education. The authors identify what is relevant and meaningful to inform, influence, and reconceptualise culturally relevant social work curriculum. Covering Botswana, Cameroon, Ethiopia, Ghana, Guinea, Kenya, Malawi, Nigeria, South Africa, Tanzania, Uganda, Zambia, and Zimbabwe, the Handbook comprises both empirical and conceptual chapters, multiple approaches, case studies, and key debates on social work education. It is structured in four parts:• Approaches to Indigenising, Decolonising and Developing Culturally Relevant Social Work Education• Social Work Education: Evolution across Contexts• Embedding Field Practicum into Social Work Education• Knowledge Exchange between the Global South and Global North.The range of indigenous, local knowledge that the Handbook presents is crucial to social work evolving and facilitating for reciprocal learning and knowledge exchange between the Global South and Global North. Whilst the context of the Handbook is Africa, the topics covered are relevant to a global audience engaged in social justice work across social work, social welfare, social development, and sustainability.

A Cop's Life: True Stories from Behind the Badge
by Randy SuttonAfter September 11, 2001 Las Vegas Police Sergeant Randy Sutton began soliciting writing from law enforcement officers-his goal being to bridge the gap between the police and those they serve, with a book that offers a broad and thoughtful look at the many facets of police life. Hundreds of active and former officers responded from all over the United States: men and women from big cities and small towns, some who had written professionally, but most for the first time. Sutton culled the selections into five categories: The Beat, Line of Duty, War Stories, Officer Down, and Ground Zero. The result is True Blue, a collection of funny, charming, exciting, haunting stories about murder investigations, missing children, bungling burglars, car chases, lonely and desperate shut-ins, routine traffic stops, officers killed in the line of duty, and the life-changing events of September 11. Here, officers reveal their emotions-fear and pride, joy and disgust, shame and love-as they recount the defining moments of their careers. In these stories, the heart and soul behind the badge shines through in unexpected ways. True Blue will change the way we think about the deeply human realm of police service.
