Python for Kids brings Python to life and brings kids (and their
parents) into the wonderful world of programming. Author Jason R.
Briggs guides readers through the basics, experimenting with unique
(and often hilarious) example programs that feature ravenous
monsters, secret agents, thieving ravens, and more. Full-colour
illustrations keep things fun and engaging throughout! This second
edition has been completely updated and revised to reflect the
latest Python version and programming practices, with new puzzles
to inspire readers to take their code farther than ever before.
* Comprehensive resource covering every possible type of
oppression, and highlighting the intersectionality between them *
Practical, hands-on approach gives teachers and facilitators the
concrete tools they need, and is widely applicable across
educational contexts and settings * Ancillary materials include a
ready-to-use, fully-developed facilitator agenda with over 150
downloadables, and an updated companion website containing video
selections and resource lists.
"Witches and Neighbours "is a highly original and unconventional
analysis of a fascinating historical phenomenon. Unlike other
studies of the subject which focus on the mechanisms of
persecution, this book presents a rich picture of witchcraft as an
all-pervasive aspect of life in early modern Europe.
Robin Briggs combines recent research with his own
investigations to produce a brilliant and compelling account of the
central role of witchcraft in the past. Although the history of
witchcraft can only be studied through records of persecutions,
these reveal that trials were unusual in everyday life and that
witchcraft can be viewed as a form of therapy. Witchcraft was also
an outlet and expression of many fundamental anxieties of society
and individuals in a time when life was precarious. The book argues
that witchcraft - its belief and persecutions - cannot be explained
by general causes but was as complex and changing as the society of
which it formed a vital part.
Since its original publication in 1996, this book has become the
standard work on the subject of witchcraft. It now appears in a
revised edition with an updated bibliography.
This book is not available from Blackwell in the United States
and the Philippines.

Transformational author Dedrick R. Briggs says, "Avoiding the
pitfalls of dating is something we all need help with." In his
book, Briggs speaks to both men and women, exploring what he calls
the 'Lost Art of Courtship'. His real life interviews and simple
step-by-step instructions prepare you and help you make the most
beneficial decisions concerning dating. Briggs shares basic
principles to empower you, such as: 1. Building self-worth by
putting yourself first 2. Developing internal & external
boundaries 3. Choosing someone of comparable qualities 4.
Distinguishing between stages and styles of dating "Dedrick doesn't
sugar coat the realities of desperation, brokenness, financial
debt, personal baggage, the pressures of social media and their
impact on the dating world as it is experienced today. Take a
moment and think about your own personal dating experience. What do
you want out of a mate? What are you willing to put up with? What
can they bring to the table or add to your life?" Desiree G.

This volume is about shyness: its definitions and conceptualization
as a psy chological construct, research on its causes and
consequences, methods for meas uring shyness, strategies for
alleviating the unpleasant experiences associated with shyness, and
its connection to other forms of social anxiety and inhibition. the
book together was to provide a resource for The principal goal in
putting psychologists from several subdisciplines, most notably
social, personality, clin ical, and development13-l psychology, in
addition to social scientists from other disciplines. We do riot
assume that these chapters, considered collectively or
individually, provide answers to every conceivable issue with
respect to shyness. Rather, we hope that the book will serve to
integrate what is known about shyness on the basis of current
research and theorizing and to provide both directions and impetus
for continued research, theoretical evolution, and improved
techniques of assessment and intervention. But one might ask, why
another book on shyness? In particular, why a book at this time
given the recent appearance of other books on the topic and in view
of the extensive literature on related topics such as introversion
and anxiety-topics that would seem to compete with shyness for the
same concep tual space? Our decision to edit this volume was
prompted by several consid erations, some practical, others more
substantive in nature."
