Publisher's Synopsis
My good friend and scholar, Ron Dart, proposed that I pull together my Restorative Justice writings, to publish them on Amazon and Kindle, at least. Since I had done a few publications that way (only one written by me, though I had written Forewords each time), I acted on the idea. I've asked Ron Dart to write the Foreword. He is also a prolific author and avid educator.There will be at least a second collected volume of writings. Why publish these now? Because I can might be as good an answer! Because as well they may be of historical interest. And because they give opportunity to put "out there" the continued joy and prospect of this peacemaking work.These writings were first gathered, edited, and uploaded onto a website, project of my retirement years, from 2014 onwards. They obviously are repetitious: Copy and Paste commands were used. Other than copy-editing, for the most part they are included as were. Most contain Bibliographies; no general Bibliography though at the end of the book.If you purchased the printed book and wish to pursue the blue highlights mostly in the introductions to each chapter, you may of course also purchase the Kindle ereader version that enables the highlights as clickables, and also renders all the footnotes that way, and other goodies such as x-ray as well. Or you may for free seek out whichever material on the website. I cannot vouch for all the blue highlights working. URL addresses do sometimes change. The reader may therefore need to do (if wished) additional sleuthing...And the usual disclaimer: all errors I own!Wayne Northey, with gratitude and joy for this lifelong journey, September 2018
