This book draws on the findings of a two-year European research project to offer answers to the 'problem' of how to respond to violence involving young people that continues to challenge youth workers and policy makers. 'Responding to violence through youth work' combines elements of critical theory, psychosocial criminology and applied existential philosophy to present a new model for responding meaningfully and effectively to these issues, demonstrated through a series of case studies and insider accounts generated through peer research.

Grand Canyon, AZ - As the sun slowly rises in the east, a series of hissing sounds come out of a row of caves, to the west: three time capsules are opening up. Three young kids come out of them: twin brothers Sage and Scott, 12; and their sister, Sandy, who's 6 years to the day younger. These siblings haven't been able to speak to each other in 6,661 years, since the day they were put in very hi tech, simulated comas. They were put into their time capsules on the day of Sandy's 6th birthday, when a very violent, powerful, tremendous earthquake wiped out almost the entire human race. They are the very last survivors of all who were on planet Earth, on that day. Sandy, Sage and Scott will soon meet a robot named Hat. "Initials," they're told. "Host and teacher." Sandy giggles. But, there isn't much of anything at all to laugh at. Because what Hat is not able to warn them of, is that what happened on Sandy's 6th birthday is going to happen again. This, then, is the story of the Baker siblings' adventures, dreams, nightmares, and how they'll be able to escape planet Earth before what's destined to happen. And, too, how they'll be able to return to the day where it all began - on New Year's Day of the year 3338 - then, at last, how they'll all come back, to the first day of 9999 A.D "Post apocalyptic." - Bruce W. Miller Author of The Gabrielino and The Chumash: a Window of Their World "Phantasmagorical. Writing fiction offers both challenge and liberation. Pete rises to one, and revels in the other." - John Light Author of Death on Dorado, Children of Purgatory, The Enigmas of Hugo Lacklan

Sunday, December 24th, 2079: Two young kids – the daughter of a Unitarian pastor, and her lifelong best boyfriend – escaped all of the horrifying havoc on Point Pleasant Beach, NJ, in an Osprey solar paneled fishing boat. Friday, February 16th, 2080: After arriving on a very remote, desolate island, Sarah and Jeffrey meet up with another boy – who is just a week away from his 13th birthday. Wesley is able to tell them exactly what happened, seven weeks and five days ago: it was a multi terrorist network attack. "The news media nicknamed it 'Twelve, Twenty Four,' because it occurred on Christmas Eve, which, of course, is on the twelfth month of the year, on its twenty fourth day. But, it was actually much worse than what the two of you seem to know. Infinitely! It wasn't just this country. It also affected one of the United States' adjacent countries. Mexico es no mas! And, too, an additional ninety six nations. All totaled, over half the entire world!" This week, the sole survivors of the US begin meeting up, on all that remains of Rhode Island. A few of these eight kids – who range between the ages of six and 20 – already know each other; and have certain personal reasons for not liking each other. What they have in common, are their own personal living nightmares. And they have almost no one else to confide in except each other.

From a safe, stable, civilised and industrious starting point, the land of hope and glory has morphed to fearful, divided, broken and bust with remarkable ease. How could such a thing have been allowed to happen? Can the change be explained in straightforward terms? And if so, can decline be halted and 'Broken Britain' be mended? Sheep No More has been independently written by an ordinary Brit who understands the urgency with which the questions must be answered. Without resorting to the likes of extreme politics, religion, or outlandish conspiracy theories, but reliant upon logic, common sense and an ability to do joined-up-thinking, the questions are meaningfully tackled and a sensible way out of the mess we're in is identified. The next and future generations have an absolute right to a safe and fulfilling future, so isn't it time to get a grip? The fight back begins now! This old country is not finished yet!
