This is a delightful collection of crocheted and felted shoes for little feet, all in support of the Imani Project (helping Kenyan children orphaned by HIV/AIDS). With crochet patterns that are as adorable as they are practical, you can provide fashion for little ones while keeping tiny toes warm. Felted for shape and sturdiness, with leather sales for durability, these are finished shoes rather than booties. You can: select from seven patterns, each in five sizes, embellished with appealing motifs; rely on beginner-friendly instructions and illustrations as you make precious keepsakes, and attractive gifts; and, stitch to support a worthy cause - the authors' proceeds will be donated to the Imani Project to help children in Kenya orphaned by HIV/AIDS.

THE SUCCESSFUL INTERNSHIP: PERSONAL, PROFESSIONAL, AND CIVIC DEVELOPMENT, 5th Edition, is more than a resource for finding and interviewing for internships--it covers the entire internship experience, how you fit into it and how you can get the most out of it. It addresses the concerns, emotions, needs and unique personal challenges that you'll experience and focuses on the internship as a vehicle for your development as a civic professional. The authors detail the path that you'll embark on and the challenges you'll face along the way. A four-stage model of the internship process--anticipation, exploration, competence and culmination--places the material in a framework that helps you understand the work you'll be doing.

Mary King, the author of The Intuitive Voice (2002, Brolga Publishing, 978-09096087-0-5) has now released this new book, The Patriarchal Voice. As a therapist using the voice dialogue method, Mary King shows how our inner 'patriarchal voice' has played a powerful role in our lives and decision-making. She shows how it has been displayed throughout history and how it continues to exert its influence on both men and women to this day. This book shows us how to recognise the patriarchal voice within ourselves, and others, in order that women may channel this powerful, but often restrictive, force into positive energy that will empower them to follow their own wisdom and achieve greater success in their careers and personal lives, and men to find greater emotional fulfilment and enter into more satisfying relationships.

The story of John Devoy's 1876 "Catalpa" rescue is a tale of heroism, creativity, and the triumph of independent spirit in pursuit of freedom. The daily log on board the whaling ship "Catalpa" begins with the typical recount of a crew intact and a spirit unfettered, but such quiet words deceive the truth of the audacious enterprise that came to be known as one of the most important rescues in Irish American history. John Devoy's men rescued six Irish political prisoners from the Australian coast, allowing millions of fellow Irishmen and American-Fenians, many of whom secretly financed the dangerous plot, to draw courage from the newly exiled prisoners.

Philip Fennell and Marie King tell the story from John Devoy's own records and the ship's logbooks. John Devoy's "Catalpa" Expedition includes an introduction by Terry Golway and the personal diaries, letters, and reports from John Devoy and his men.

Possessing the right mind-set and relevant mental skills has long been considered vital in achieving top performances in all sports. And yet, to many riders mental fitness still remains something of an afterthought. In Perfect Mind: Perfect Ride, the author demonstrates how to develop and achieve the right kind of attitude, motivation and mental skills to make the most of the rider's abilities whether it be riding as a recreation or as a competitive sport. Horses are highly sensitive flight animals - they'll react first and ask questions, well, never...! In essence, this means that every time riders get on their horse, they need to be fully committed, aware and in control of their body, their thoughts and their emotions, in order to communicate with their horse in precisely the right kind of manner. The combination of research in the field of sport and performance psychology and real-life examples contained in this book will help readers identify with and understand different topics. Current scientific theories surrounding sport and performance psychology are translated into practice, allowing readers to fully understand why they think, feel and act the way they do - and what they need to do to change it. Hands-on advice on how to develop relevant attitudes and mental skills will make Perfect Mind: Perfect Ride an essential companion for the rider wanting to get more out of the sport. Foreword by Mary King MBE

A no-holds-barred story of what it takes to reach the top, and stay there, in the world's most dangerous sport - three day eventing. At the age of forty-seven Mary King won a Team Bronze at the Beijing Olympics. In the two 'Cavaliers' - 'Call Again Cavalier' and 'Imperial Cavalier' - she has two of the very best event horses in the world. Mary King's success in the world of eventing (now officially classed as the most dangerous sport in the world) has been hard won. She does not come from a privileged background - her father a verger and a long-term invalid so money was very tight. Her first pony was the ancient 'cast off' from the local vicar's children - and success with this pony gave her an iron will to succeed. And succeeded she has. To support herself in the early days she had a variety of unglamorous jobs (this included butcher delivery rounds and cleaning out toilets in the local campsite). Her talent was apparent from very early on and she first competed at Badminton in 1985, had her first win there on King William in 1992 and her second on Star Appeal in 2000. Just when everything seemed to be going well she suffered a terrible fall in 2001 and broke her neck but she was back competing at the very top level the following year. Fully updated for the paperback with the 2010 season, including Team GB's gold medal-winning performance at the World Equestrian Games, this is a fascinating account from inside the world's most dangerous sport.
