Originally published in 1977, the chapters in this volume offer a
concise review of the research and new direction in the study of
alcohol and cognition at the time. Each chapter has been prepared
by an eminent researcher who was currently involved in
investigating human cognitive behaviour. The chapters contain not
just a dry summary of work done in the field, but descriptions of
the impetus for the work that was done, problems in doing such
work, knowledge that was gained, and suggestions for future
research. Many new approaches are presented for the study of
alcohol and memory, and for the understanding of results of studies
already done. This was a forward-looking volume not only about
directions for future research, but with solid contributions that
review and integrate major areas of inquiry on the influence of
alcohol on memory and behaviour at the time.

'An excellent introduction to the theory and practice of health
promotion in a developed country such as Australia' From the
foreword by Professor Brian Oldenburg This widely used text offers
a comprehensive overview of the field of health promotion. Drawing
on current Australian and international research, the authors
provide a detailed review of health promotion principles. They
demonstrate how these principles fit into the broader public health
context, and how they can be integrated into practice in a range of
settings, including the workplace, schools, rural communities,
Indigenous communities and health care organisations. The authors
also include a step-by-step guide to program management from
planning to evaluation. This third edition includes new material on
the use of evidence in health promotion practice, and on the
increasing importance of an ecological perspective. The text has
been fully revised with new data and case studies, and planning
models have been updated to reflect current practice. Health
Promotion is an essential text for students and a valuable resource
for health professionals.

This book offers the first full length study on the pervasive
archetype of The Gothic Forest in Western culture. The idea of the
forest as deep, dark, and dangerous has an extensive history and
continues to resonate throughout contemporary popular culture. The
Forest and the EcoGothic examines both why we fear the forest and
how exactly these fears manifest in our stories. It draws on and
furthers the nascent field of the ecoGothic, which seeks to explore
the intersections between ecocriticism and Gothic studies. In the
age of the Anthropocene, this work importantly interrogates our
relationship to and understandings of the more-than-human world.
This work introduces the trope of the Gothic forest, as well as
important critical contexts for its discussion, and examines the
three main ways in which this trope manifests: as a living,
animated threat; as a traditional habitat for monsters; and as a
dangerous site for human settlement. This book will appeal to
students and scholars with interests in horror and the Gothic,
ecohorror and the ecoGothic, environmentalism, ecocriticism, and
popular culture more broadly. The accessibility of the subject of
'The Deep Dark Woods', coupled with increasingly mainstream
interests in interactions between humanity and nature, means this
work will also be of keen interest to the general public.

In the prequel, Paw Prints in the Sand, you read the heartwarming
story about Foxy, the Nova Scotia Duck Tolling retriever who was
mistakenly sold to the owners of a puppy mill and lives to tell
about it. Her story is one of encouragement and hope and enables us
to realize how important it is to band together and save the lives
of other dogs living in the same type of cruel environment. That
is, if you can truly call it living. After all, these poor dogs are
merely existing in cramped cages without proper food, exercise,
medicine or love. The inspirational sequel continues with a bit of
a twist. A man suffering with what some might call a critical
mid-life crisis (and then some) is contemplating life and trying
desperately to find reasons to stay alive. His wife left him, he
hates his job and despises his less-than-appreciative boss. Life as
he knows it is pointless. A chance situation gives him reason to
smile and he finds himself conversing with a couple of men who are
excited to begin a new venture building a modern dog shelter
called, "Paw Prints in the Sand. " Often, we hear about dogs that
have been rescued by humans, but rarely do we acknowledge that the
opposite is actually true. Discover how Harrison's life is
drastically changed by opening his heart to these four-legged
creatures. You'll find yourself in agreement that often it is our
furry friends that rescue us just as much as we rescue them.
