The second edition of Child Development: Theory and Practice 0-11
has been fully revised and updated while retaining the
authoritative, accessible and well structured writing style that
proved popular in the first edition. The text is infused with the
authors' passion and enthusiasm for the subject and their anecdotes
provide engaging real-life examples of child development in
practice.
The U.S. military is no longer based on a Cold War self-sufficient
model. Today's armed forces are a third smaller than they were
during the Cold War, and yet are expected to do as much if not more
than they did during those years. As a result, a transformation is
occurring in the way the U.S. government expects the military to
conduct operations--with much of that transformation contingent on
the use of contractors to deliver support to the armed forces
during military campaigns and afterwards.
"Contractors and War" explains the reasons behind this
transformation and evaluates how the private sector will shape and
be shaped by future operations. The authors are drawn from a range
of policy, legislative, military, legal, and academic backgrounds.
They lay out the philosophical arguments supporting the use of
contractors in combat and stabilization operations and present a
spectrum of arguments that support and criticize emergent private
sector roles. The book provides fresh policy guidance to those who
will research, direct, and carry out future deployments.

Master the art of growing miniature trees with this fun,
jargon-free guide to bonsai. The Little Book of Bonsai will make
you an instant expert in the art of growing miniature trees. It is
packed with myth-busting surprises, the first of which is that
growing bonsai really isn't as hard as most people think. In fact,
they are no more difficult to look after than other pot plants, and
easier than many. This book makes the job even easier by breaking
down the subject into three clear sections: Getting Started,
Ongoing Care and Species Profiles. Jargon-free text and dozens of
photographs and diagrams make this the ideal guide for complete
novices, as well as a handy companion for more experienced growers.
Whether you want to grow from seed or source an established plant,
everything you need to know is contained in this guide, which, like
bonsai themselves, is small but perfectly formed.

Pete's musical genius is his refuge when life with his bullying
father and alcoholic mother gets too much. But his gift has a
flipside that can send him crashing from euphoric highs to the
darkest of depressions. Terry Barrow provides the lyrics to Pete's
tunes. And he helps Pete fight the lows. After University, in
Spain, they go from strength to strength in the recording studio
and on tour. But tragedy's never far away in Pete's life. It brings
them home again-unknown in their own country but rich enough to be
able to do everything they ever wanted. Terry is content to take
some time out and Pete seems to have found some peace at last. But
when Pete sees the Old Camberwell House and learns about its odd
history, his curiosity quickly turns to obsession, convinced that,
finally, he will find his backbeat. And Terry wonders if, this
time, he'll be able to save his best friend from the demon that's
always been lurking in the shadows-that low too deep to escape.
Moonrise Forest. Where all the animals live happily and safely and
where nothing unusual or bad ever happens. But Moonrise Forest has
never been a hiding place for an escaped circus monkey called
Chatter before. There's never been resentment over the Elder
Squirrel's choice of apprentice before. But Chestnut knows he would
make a much better Elder Squirrel than Rolf. If he could only find
the right backing... Slink the fox knows that if they could get
into the forest, their food problems would be solved. But something
has always prevented the foxes from entering the deeper forest. If
only they could find a way past that something... After so many
years, something unusual has happened in Moonrise Forest. Worse,
something not just bad but evil has happened, too.
