At a time when public education and reform agendas are changing the way we approach education, this book critically examines the key issues facing the public with implications for education policy makers, professionals and researchers. Drawing on empirical evidence gathered over 20 years, Helen Gunter confronts current issues about social justice and segregation. She uses Arendtian ideas to help the reader to ‘think politically’ about education and how and why public services education can be reimagined for the future.

'It Could Be Magic...' shares the intimate details of how the innate power of music led one woman's personal journey of self-discovery, reinvention and deep gratitude for all that was, is and has yet to be. This true life story touches the heart and soul of anyone who's ever felt anesthetized in the life they are living. It's an especially insightful and inspirational exploration for woman who while lovingly entrenched in nurturing those around them, have lost balance of perspective; ceasing to be the "shero" of their own life. In addition, it is a powerful reminder to everyone, to fully engage with and find bliss in all that surrounds us in the present moment, while embracing with profound gratitude the gifts we've been blessed with. It's also a powerful reminder for each of us to never stop dreaming, setting goals and having faith in the knowledge "that what's meant to be, will be", but be mindful that we each need to take responsibility for seeking out what it is that's meant to be. In 2007 Ms. Holdun had reached an "intersection in the road of life when where she was, was where she thought she needed to remain". It was the opening notes of (Barry) Manilow's infamous "Could It Be Magic" that led the author on a path where she would discover all that life still had to offer, while at the same time dissipated her bubble of numb indifference to the world around her. During a career that spans four decades, Barry Manilow's music and his unique talent of poignant delivery, has inspired millions of listeners to "feel". However, it wasn't until Helen Holdun published, 'It Could Be Magic...'; that an in-depth, true-life account had been told about Mr. Manilow's music being the catalyst to transforming a life This book is not a glib sharing of being a fan of the musician. It is, as Author and radio-host, Nicholas Snow, who provided the books world-wide launch via his blog-talk radio show explains: 'It Could Be Magic...' isn't so much about Barry and the power of his music as it is about the courage to answer the question, 'Is this all there is', and reinvent one's self in the process." With absolute honesty, Helen shares how she faced the unexpected, and often painful challenges of love, loss, fear, which has led to the joyful triumph of new beginnings. Through it all, she discovered inner strength, deeper faith in God, peaceful closure for what was, and abounding hope for what has yet to unfold.
