This thought-provoking volume confronts the expected tension between care and justice as moral orientations. These original essays, by renowned educators, reveal how these two moral orientations can work together to produce wiser and more practical policies and practices. The authors explore problems at every level of education and tackle tough questions in theory, practice, and policy making. Using real-life examples, they illustrate the great value of theoretical collaboration―instead of competing with each other, justice and care should complement each other in both moral theory and practice.

They called John Watts "Shadow" because the Navy had an unwritten rule that using the N-word was not good for morale. John was one of the first Black Navy SEALs, and the only Black man in his platoon. As such, he faced more hardship than any of his fellow Naval recruits. Yet he placed his life on the line through two tours in Vietnam despite how he was treated, and despite how his fellow Blacks were treated back in the States.\nSHADOW S.E.A.L. is one man's tale of overcoming constant degradation, of proving himself to those who thought him less than a man, and of ultimately redeeming himself in their eyes.

At first frightened by this different creature, Santa accepts an offer to help complete his travels.
