From the founder of the Climate Outreach and Information Network, a groundbreaking take on the most urgent question of our time: Why, despite overwhelming scientific evidence, do we still ignore climate change? "Please read this book, and think about it." --Bill Nye Most of us recognize that climate change is real yet we do nothing to stop it. What is the psychological mechanism that allows us to know something is true but act as if it is not? George Marshall's search for the answers brings him face to face with Nobel Prize-winning psychologists and Texas Tea Party activists; the world's leading climate scientists and those who denounce them; liberal environmentalists and conservative evangelicals. What he discovers is that our values, assumptions, and prejudices can take on lives of their own, gaining authority as they are shared, dividing people in their wake. With engaging stories and drawing on years of his own research, Marshall argues that the answers do not lie in the things that make us different, but rather in what we share: how our human brains are wired--our evolutionary origins, our perceptions of threats, our cognitive blind spots, our love of storytelling, our fear of death, and our deepest instincts to defend our family and tribe. Once we understand what excites, threatens, and motivates us, we can rethink climate change, for it is not an impossible problem. Rather, we can halt it if we make it our common purpose and common ground. In the end, Don't Even Think About It is both about climate change and about the qualities that make us human and how we can deal with the greatest challenge we have ever faced.

The Lifeboat Read & Spell Scheme (also known as 'Launch the Lifeboat to Read and Spell'). A highly-structured, multi-sensory scheme of lessons to help dyslexic children - and adults - to read, write and spell. Book 1 is for the beginner. It introduces the alphabet and distinguishes the vowels and the consonants in a series of individually designed lessons. This stage obviously requires teaching support. Later lessons focus upon the letters i, n, p, s, t, a, b and d, which give rise to blends 'sn', 'sp', 'st', '-nd' and '-nt'. Lessons 6, 8, 9 and 10 introduce the learner to the lesson format, which remains consistent throughout the remaining books.

The abrupt ending of an intense love-affair has left Morris haunted by memories of the dark beauty of his lost love. He believes that escape from this torment will only be found in the arms of a fair-haired woman. On a walking holiday along the Santiago de Compostela pilgrim route, he sets his sights on the blond Diana, convinced she will free him from the spell of his past love. He, and holiday friend Jerry, waggishly assign names of The Canterbury Tales pilgrims to their fellow walkers. Constance, holidaying alone, is doing a similar thing. Diana, and her friend Helen, learn of their secretive labelling, and the five agree to tell their own personal tales. Hidden aspects of the narrators' lives, beyond anything expected from comparative strangers, are exposed in these intriguing stories. Morris persists in his pursuit of the tantalising Diana, a golden goddess in whose bed he believes lies exorcism of the spectre of his former love. Who is sleeping with who? And what new pairings are being made? These are the questions in the air as the contemporary evocations of Chaucer's pilgrims; the Wife of Bath, Miller, Monk, Manciple, Prioress, Physician, Knight and Man of Law, intertwine along the holy pathway.
