At twenty-years-old, Robin MacKenzie is waiting for his life to start. Waiting until his summer working at a Philly restaurant is over and he's back with his boyfriend Peter...until the spring semester when he'll travel to London for an acting program...until the moment when the confidence he fakes starts to feel real. "Engaging...capturing intimately the mood of the period." -Publishers Weekly Then, one hot June weekend, Robin gets dumped by his boyfriend and quickly hits the road with his best friend George to find his teenaged sister, Ruby, who's vanished from a party at the Jersey Shore. "A fresh, eloquent perspective to the oft-writ story of sexual and romantic coming of age." -Book Marks But Ruby is on an adventure of her own, dressing in black, declaring herself an atheist, pulling away from the boyfriend she doesn't love-not the way she loves the bands whose fractured songs are the soundtrack to her life. Then a chance encounter puts Ruby in pursuit of a seductive but troubled boy who might be the key to her happiness, or a disaster waiting to happen. Now as their paths converge, Ruby and Robin will confront the sadness of their shared past and rebuild the bonds that still run deep...

The first part of the book reviews empirical work relating to happiness (including attitudinal studies), claims made in an educational context and postwar philosophical treatment of the concept. There is a useful account of Aristotle’s pioneering work and a stimulating summary of some of the main themes to be found in the literature concerning happiness. In the second part the author elucidates the concept of happiness, and consider the significance, reliability and plausibility of the various empirical claims in the light of a clear understanding of what happiness is. After discussing whether happiness ought to be valued in general terms the study concludes by outlining the ways in which it can be related to education and schooling and by suggesting action which could be taken in schools in order to promote happiness.

This volume is a comprehensive critique of the radical tradition in educational theory. It traces the development of the key ideas in radical literature from Rousseau to the present day. Two opening chapters set Rousseau’s educational views and arguments in their political perspective, and subject them to an extended critical treatment. Subsequent chapters provide detailed analyses and examination of the ideas of A S Neill, Paul Goodman, Ivan Illich and Everett Reimer, Charles Weingartner and Neil Postman. Each author is treated separately but certain common themes and ideas are extracted and considered without reference to any particular author. Amongst others, the concepts of nature, learning, hidden curriculum and the relativity of knowledge are examined; at the same time broader arguments about the degree and nature of freedom that should be provided to children, deschooling and assessment are pursued.

This introduction to Plato’s philosophical and educational thought examines Plato’s views and relates them to issues and questions that occupy philosophers of education. Robin Barrow stresses the relevance of Plato today, while introducing the student both to Plato’s philosophy and to contemporary educational debate. In the first part of the book the author examines Plato’s historical background and summarizes the Republic. Successive chapters are concerned with the critical discussion of specific educational issues. He deals with questions relating to the impartial distribution of education, taking as a starting point Plato’s celebrated dictum that unequals should be treated unequally. He examines certain methodological concepts such as ‘discovery-learning’ and ‘play’ and also raises the wider question of children’s freedom. He looks critically at the content of the curriculum and discusses Plato’s theory of knowledge and attitude to art. Finally Robin Barrow discusses Plato’s view of moral education and the related problem of what constitutes moral indoctrination

The delightfully illustrated children's story Finch and Robin is about two diverse friends who really enjoy life. There's a lesson to be learned in Finch and Robin's story. The two just happen to be birds. "Both were just little baby birds when they first met and instantly developed schoolyard relationships. They were told early on by their elders, 'Finches stay with Finches. Robins stay with Robins.' " Although the two are different, they have a lot in common. The two good friends start each day together going through the same routine. They love visiting The Koolaid House, The Castle, and a cave decked out for comfort. Of course, there are opportunities to meet other woodsy creatures where they both live in the Lake of The Ozarks. The author's previous books include Itty, Bitty, Stella, The Happy Barnrat; Pity's Porch; Pity and the Princes; Pity's First Christmas and the Magnificent Evergreen Tree; Iggy's Island; Iggy's River; The Sweetest Meow; L'tl Bear; The Fisherman's Net; Three Men and Their Boat; and Two Men and Their Catch. She is currently writing The Chase and The Secrets of the Cobweb House. (About the Author) In each of Texas native Deborah K. Crawford's books, she likes to include a life skill or a lesson to be learned. "I'm a Texas gal and I have Texas close to my heart. I moved most of my life, and finally landed at the beautiful Lake of the Ozarks" in Missouri, where this story is set. Some of her other books take place in Mexico, where she spends four months each year. "Thank you to my husband, Scott Crawford, and son, Ryan Crawford, for their continued support in my writing for 20 years."
