that encourage kindness towards others. It encourages positive
behaviour by using the concrete concept of an 'invisible bucket'
that holds your good thoughts and feelings. When you do something
kind, you fill someone's bucket; when you do something mean, you
dip into someone's bucket and remove some good thoughts and
feelings. This book focuses on how our social interactions
positively or negatively affect others and encourages all to be
kind.

shortage of items worth mentioning that have been overshadowed by
other aspects of history. This book is about those events with one
dedicated to each day of the year that it took place. The United
States doesn't have a prolonged period of history like some other
countries, although for a nation that has been around for fewer
years, the events are interesting, exciting, and can often bring a
smile.

partisans.

The problems of people with disabilities are determined by the
dynamics of interactions between them and the social environment in
which they live. Therefore, the bio-psycho-socio-spiritual model of
health is linked to the civilian model, accentuating the active
participation in the social life of a particular community. The
convergence of these models is present in the transdisciplinary
content of the publication, which examines the quality of life of
pupils in inclusive education in the Central European region. The
authors identified specific limits and possibilities of the
educational environment and its impact on the quality of life of
children with disabilities. They explained the evidence-based
practice and enhanced the competency-based approach to the persons
involved in education, their relatives and multidisciplinary school
teams.
