"Creative Approaches to Poetry for the Primary Framework for
Literacy supports teachers in planning, teaching and, most
importantly, enjoying poetry with their pupils. With an emphasis on
creative, cross curricular approaches the authors explore tried and
tested methods of teaching poetry in an engaging and comprehensive
manner. A carefully considered range of poems has been included in
order to expand children's repertoires in a variety of poetic
forms. Chapters cover: * how to develop a range of creative
approaches to teaching poetry, involving visualisation, drama,
choral speaking, performance, discussion and writing * how to
engage children from a variety of backgrounds and abilities in
experiencing poetry in its many forms * integrating the teaching of
poetry with all other areas of the curriculum including ICT and
citizenship * effectively linking all work to the KS1 poetry units
of the renewed Primary National Framework for Literacy * an
innovative model that takes children on a journey beginning before
they meet the poem through to becoming poets themselves. This
accessible and user-friendly book includes informative case
studies, photographs and children's work to demonstrate alternative
routes to working with poetry. It will prove an invaluable resource
for all primary teachers seeking to employ progressive and
effective strategies in the teaching of poetry."

Widely known as the 'tree of life', coconut (Cocos nucifera L.)
provides a bountiful source for making a wide variety of healthy
foods and industrial items. Its cultivation, however, has been
encountering seriously destructive issues including lethal diseases
and natural adversities which are currently distressing livelihoods
of millions of small-holder farmers around the world. There is an
urgent mandate to resolve these issues by meeting sustainable
seedling production, facilitating genetic conservation, as well as
developing disease identification and modern breeding. This book
introduces improvements in coconut biotechnology by covering the
advances in micropropagation, germplasm conservation, and molecular
pathogenic diagnosis. This comprehensive volume will be a useful
source of information and references to researchers, graduate
students, agricultural developers, and scholars in the plant
sciences. In order to benefit general readers, the book also covers
fundamental aspects of biology, diversity, and evolution of this
marvelous palm species.

What future possibilities for space travel are the most likely to succeed? What are the greatest challenges and advantages of space travel for humankind? What are the potential moral and ethical implications of our space explorations? Space, the Final Frontier imaginatively illustrates the possibilities that the exploration and subsequent exploitation of space opens up for humankind. Giancarlo Genta and Michael Rycroft delve into the factors that encourage space travel and speculate on the future of human expansion into space, including: the value and importance of having humans in space; the human exploration and colonization of our solar system; robotic exploration of the outer planets, their satellites and asteroids; the future possibility that humans may leave our solar system; the prospects and implications of our meeting other intelligent beings in space; the likelihood, consequences, and benefits of future space technologies. This insightful and visionary look at the future of human space exploration will appeal to all readers fascinated by space. Giancarlo Genta is Professor in the Department of Mechanics at the Technical University of Turin, Italy. He obtained degrees in Aeronautical Engineering and Aerospace Engineering from the same university, and his current research in applied mechanics is linked to the construction of machines. He has published a large number of research papers and eight previous books including Vibrations of Structures and Machines: Practical Aspects (Springer-Verlag New York, 1993, 1994, 1998) and Motor Vehicle Dynamics: Modelling and Simulation (World Scientific Publishing Company, 1997). Michael Rycroft is a visiting professor at the International Space University in Strasbourg, France, and at De Montfort University in Leicester, UK. For eleven years he was Head of the Atmospheric Sciences Division at the British Antarctic Survey, Cambridge, and he also spent four years as Professor of Aerospace at Cranfield University. He has acted as Editor-in-Chief for the Journal of Atmospheric and Solar-Terrestrial Physics, Managing Editor of Surveys in Geophysics, and also The Cambridge Encyclopedia of Space (2002).
Foal and the Angels is about a journey to understand the great
wisdom hidden behind life. Through a series of dreams and

Never See a Need is an account of the lives and works of the
Sisters of St Joseph of the Sacred Heart in South Australia from
the time of their foundation in 1866 until Mary MacKillop's
canonisation in 2010. Much happened during those 144 years. There
were dark times and bright times, times of growth and expansion
interspersed with times of decline, times of stability and times of
change, and through it all, the members of the Congregation never
forgot their call to do what they could to remedy the evils and
ills of their society. They were educators, but they also looked
out for the welfare of the poor and disadvantaged in different ways
as they moved across the landscape to wherever they were needed,
always a "people on the move" but always stable in their devotion
to their ministry.
