"Running with a Hurricane explores the world of boys learning and identifies the idea of what it means to be 'a' man. It is written from the view of what boys can learn to to make valuable contributions, not only to the household they live in but also to society. Ideas are presented in a way that could be adopted at home or in the classroom to develop values and skills that boys have. Running with a Hurricane has been written for beginning primary through to the end of high school, and builds upon ideas for boys as they enter the world of manhood. Running with a Hurricane is a practical and informative insight into educating boys to be great men. Chris A. May began his journey into boys education in 2010 after noticing a learning need within that area. This was largely based around his own experience of low achievement during his schooling years. He left high school with no qualifications, and spent the next 16 years building his professional career from the ground up. From his journey through school and employment, and being involved in education himself, he saw the opportunity to develop boys learning programmes to engage and empower boys in their learning." --Publisher description.
