The instinct to “want” is present from the start of life, as we all yearn for our first nourishment at birth. “Want” possesses an unquenchable appetite that relentlessly drives us towards the satisfying flavour of success. The insatiable desire for success is an aggressive force that compels us to pursue our dreams relentlessly. Our wants in our life keeps pushing us forward, shaping our actions, goals and feeding our hunger for success. The power of want for family, happiness, productivity, genuine friendships, good fortune, good health, spiritual support, self-confidence, or self-care is inherent in human behaviour. “Finding My Power of Want” by Tony J. Hebert examines how self-awareness, hard work, preparedness, and community support contribute to achieving one’s life goals. Even in the face of doubt and uncertainty, self-awareness serves as our guiding compass to stay on track. The concept of wealth accumulation is not heavily tied to want. Wanting good friends, a loving family, a successful career, and genuine happiness all play a role in one’s success in life. Hebert’s autobiography explores his life journey of discovering the power of want and how it contributed to his career and retirement success. Furthermore, he skillfully tells the story of his personal relationships beginning at age 8 that sparked this ability, offering guidance on how readers can harness their self-awareness to pursue their dreams and goals. The book further explores the power of community and personal ambition, as well as the heartbreaking emptiness that comes when your support system falls apart. Hebert’s book is dedicated to all those who made a positive impact on his life, such as coaches, cheerleaders, peers, family, mentors, neighbours, health and church leaders, and the countless volunteers who joined him in bettering their community. He names hundreds of them. “Finding My Power of Want” is an innovative study of human behaviour, using his personal experiences as a map to highlight its significance. This is a must-read for those who want to develop self-awareness and harness their personal power to achieve both their personal and community goals.

How can programs and organizations ensure they are adhering to core principles--and assess whether doing so is yielding desired results? From evaluation pioneer Michael Quinn Patton, this book introduces the principles-focused evaluation (P-FE) approach and demonstrates its relevance and application in a range of settings. Patton explains why principles matter for program development and evaluation and how they can serve as a rudder to navigate the uncertainties, turbulence, and emergent challenges of complex dynamic environments. In-depth exemplars illustrate how the unique GUIDE framework is used to determine whether principles provide meaningful guidance (G) and are useful (U), inspiring (I), developmentally adaptable (D), and evaluable (E). User-friendly features include rubrics, a P-FE checklist, firsthand reflections and examples from experienced P-FE practitioners, sidebars and summary tables, and end-of-chapter application exercises. ÿ

"This report presents compelling evidence that people with mental health conditions meet major criteria for vulnerability. The report also describes how vulnerability can lead to poor mental health, and how mental health conditions are widespread yet largely unaddressed among groups identified as vulnerable. It argues that mental health should be included in sectoral and broader development strategies and plans, and that development stakeholders have important roles to play in ensuring that people with mental health conditions are recognized as a vulnerable group and are not excluded from development opportunities. The recommended actions in this report provide a starting point to achieve these aims."--Page xxiv.

The Continuing Professional Development series sets out to demystify professional development in education, and does so from a Scottish perspective. All books in the series approach their subject in an accessible manner that allows teachers and educators to perceive how continuing professional development can enhance job satisfaction - as well as making a real difference to the most important client group of all: the pupils and students in their care. In The Learning Classroom, Brian Boyd considers the large range of initiatives which have asked teachers to promote creativity, enterprise, citizenship (amongst others), as well as the growing interest in international ideas such as multiple intelligences, learning styles and teaching for understanding, to name but a few. The book looks at the key aspect of a number of these ideas as they impact on classrooms and describes how teachers can create a learning classroom which will incorporate the key elements of these initiatives.

Based on research that was awarded the Governor General’s Academic Gold Medal, Healing Home is an exploration of the lives and health of young women experiencing homelessness. Vanessa Oliver employs an innovative methodology that blends sociology and storytelling practices to investigate these women’s access to health services, their understandings of health and health care delivery, and their health-seeking behaviours. Through their life stories, Oliver demonstrates how personal and social experiences shape health outcomes. In contrast to many previous studies that have focused on the deficits of these young people, Healing Home is both youth-centric and youth-positive in its approach: by foregrounding the narratives of the women themselves, Oliver empowers a sub-section of the population that traditionally has not had a voice in determining policies that shape their realities. Applying a strong, articulate, and systemic analysis to on-the-ground narratives, Oliver is able to offer fresh, incisive recommendations for health and social service providers with the potential to effect real-world change for this marginalized population.
