Educational Psychology and Teaching Children About Health in South Africa builds on the established texts by US authors Weinstein, Rosen, Snowman and McCown, and has been developed and tailored especially for education courses across South Africa. From this strong existing foundation, editors Maphalala and Tabane, with a diverse team of respected academics across South Africa, have produced a comprehensive and up-to-date introduction to these subjects, reflecting a range of perspectives suitable for typical courses across the region.
On July 6, 2003, four months after the United States invaded Iraq,
former ambassador Joseph Wilson's now historic op-ed, "What I
Didn't Find in Africa," appeared in "The New York Times." A week
later, conservative pundit Robert Novak revealed in his newspaper
column that Ambassador Wilson's wife, Valerie Plame Wilson, was a
CIA operative. The public disclosure of that secret information
spurred a federal investigation and led to the trial and conviction
of Vice President Dick Cheney's chief of staff, Scooter Libby, and
the Wilsons' civil suit against top officials of the Bush
administration. Much has been written about the "Valerie Plame"
story, but Valerie herself has been silent, until now. Some of what
has been reported about her has been frighteningly accurate,
serving as a pungent reminder to the Wilsons that their lives are
no longer private. And some has been completely false -- distorted
characterizations of Valerie and her husband and their shared
integrity.
Valerie Wilson retired from the CIA in January 2006, and now,
not only as a citizen but as a wife and mother, the daughter of an
Air Force colonel, and the sister of a U.S. marine, she sets the
record straight, providing an extraordinary account of her training
and experiences, and answers many questions that have been asked
about her covert status, her responsibilities, and her life. As
readers will see, the CIA still deems much of the detail of
Valerie's story to be classified. As a service to readers, an
afterword by national security reporter Laura Rozen provides a
context for Valerie's own story.
"Fair Game" is the historic and unvarnished account of the
personal and international consequences of speaking truth to
power.

A short but engaging look at why we dream. In Dreams, researcher
Melanie Gillespie Rosen explores the biology and psychology behind
dreaming. Introducing historical theories from Aristotle to
Descartes, Gillespie Rosen then evaluates current leading theories
on the purpose of dreams based on modern research. She reveals how
dreams may help consolidate memories our brains deem important
while clearing out unnecessary ones, and they may also reflect
anxieties in our subconscious. Dreams give us a chance to test out
future events in order to rehearse our actions and responses.
Gillespie Rosen examines the sleep stages and explains why most of
the dreams we remember occur during REM. She even explores why some
people dream in color, while others report dreaming in black and
white. In Reflections, a series copublished with Denmark's Aarhus
University Press, scholars deliver 60-page reflections on key
concepts. These books present unique insights on a wide range of
topics that entertain and enlighten readers with exciting
discoveries and new perspectives.

Michael Rosen's two cats are popular on Twitter because he started
sharing his conversations, (his 'chats') with them as tweets about
a year ago. The cats generally have the upper hand and Michael has
to put up with their demands. The tweets take on the format of
small playlets with the cats speaking as one. They often disturb
him working and just as often moan about their lack of food and his
treatment of them. The illustrations that accompany the tweets will
delight cat lovers and possibly the cats theemselves, althoughh
they are somewhat vain so this is not a forgone clonclusion. Those
who have similarly demanding moggies at home will no doubt treasure
this book.
Two-time Peabody Award-winning writer and producer Ira Rosen
reveals the intimate, untold stories of his decades at America's
most iconic news show. It's a 60 Minutesstory on 60 Minutes itself.
When producer Ira Rosen walked into the 60 Minutes offices in June
1980, he knew he was about to enter television history. His career
catapulted him to the heights of TV journalism, breaking some of
the most important stories in TV news. But behind the scenes was a
war room of clashing producers, anchors, and the most formidable 60
Minutes figure: legendary correspondent Mike Wallace. Based on
decades of access and experience, Ira Rosen takes readers behind
closed doors to offer an incisive look at the show that invented TV
investigative journalism. With surprising humor, charm, and an eye
for colorful detail, Rosen delivers an authoritative account of the
unforgettable personalities that battled for prestige, credit, and
the desire to scoop everyone else in the game. As one of Mike
Wallace's top producers, Rosen reveals the interview secrets that
made Wallace's work legendary, and the flaring temper that made him
infamous. Later, as senior producer of ABC News Primetime Live and
20/20, Rosen exposes the competitive environment among famous
colleagues like Diane Sawyer and Barbara Walters, and the power
plays between correspondents Chris Wallace, Anderson Cooper, and
Chris Cuomo. A master class in how TV news is made, Rosen shows
readers how 60 Minutes puts together a story when sources are
explosive, unreliable, and even dangerous. From unearthing shocking
revelations from inside the Trump White House, to an outrageous
proposition from Ghislaine Maxwell, to interviewing gangsters Joe
Bonanno and John Gotti, Jr., Ira Rosen was behind the scenes of
some of 60 Minutes' most sensational stories. Highly entertaining,
dishy, and unforgettable, Ticking Clock is a never-before-told
account of the most successful news show in American history.

From two of the biggest names in children's publishing, this is an
inspiring guide to wordplay for young readers, their parents and
teachers. I'm ready for spaghetti Will you getti the spaghetti?
Don't say, "Not yetti spaghetti!" 'cos I'm all setti for spaghetti.
Fizzing with rhythm, energy and laughter, the 30 poems in Ready for
Spaghetti delight in the details of children's daily routines. "Up,
up, uppity-up!", the first poem announces, while the artwork shows
a child leaping out of bed, ready to begin their morning; "Hush and
a hush, soft and low", chants the final poem, as children snuggle
under their blankets after their day's adventures. Full of
affectionate observations of young children, which are beautifully
continued in Polly Dunbar's warm-hearted pictures, Michael Rosen's
poems are ideal for reading aloud with toddlers ... and many
grown-ups will soon know them by heart!
**SHORTLISTED FOR THE SUNDAY TIMES SPORTS BOOK AWARDS 2023** 'Full
of delightful anecdotes and interviews and fascinating historical
tales' Mail on Sunday A panoramic portrait of the wonderous vehicle
whose passenger is also its engine. A toy, a tool, a liberator, or
complete nuisance: the bicycle has been many things to many people
over the decades, yet it endures as the most popular form of
transport in the world. How has such a simple machine achieved so
much? Combining history, travelogue and memoir, Jody Rosen reshapes
our understanding of this ubiquitous vehicle from its invention in
1817 to its present-day renaissance as a 'green machine'. Readers
meet unforgettable characters: women's suffragists who steered
bikes to the barricades in the 1890s, a Bhutanese king who races
mountain bikes in the Himalayas, astronauts who ride a floating
bicycle in zero gravity. By examining the bicycle's past and
peering into its future, Two Wheels Good forms a joyful ode to an
engineering marvel of global importance. 'Funny, precise,
surprising' Adam Gopnik 'Love for two-wheeled transport runs
through every sentence' Economist 'Wry, rich, deeply researched'

practitioners a valuable instrument to understand contemporary
intellectual property law within the EU.

family story, Michael Rosen presents an astonishing account of
perseverance, love and hope in wartime. Beginning in 1939, young
Solly in London exchanges letters with his teenaged cousin, Bernie,
in Poland. While Solly is evacuated and tries his best to adjust to
life in the English countryside, Bernie's parents know that as Jews
they're not safe staying in Warsaw, so they send Bernie to the
Russian-occupied side of the country in the hope that he'll be
safer there. Soon, though, he is arrested and sent off to a forced
labour camp in Russia. As the cousins exchange sporadic letters,
they try to keep their spirits up, trading jokes and observations
about the world changing all around them. Then Bernie seizes the
opportunity to join the "Anders Army" and fight the Axis powers,
and tells Solly all about his experiences in Iraq and eventually
Italy, where he fights alongside the British at the famous Battle
of Monte Cassino. Does Bernie survive and find a safe place to call
home? With breathtaking illustrations by beloved illustrator
Michael Foreman, this is an unforgettable story of courage and
