This handbook provides a succinct introduction to child mental
health, covering the nature, prevalence, treatment and management
of mental health problems in children and young people. The authors
explore a range of issues surrounding the emotional needs of young
people, showing how specific problems such as ADHD and learning
difficulties can be targeted, while also recognising diversity
issues and paying particular attention to at-risk groups. This
edition is updated to reflect current direction in services,
cutting edge approaches to interventions in primary health care,
teaching and social service settings, as well as incorporating
children's views on what mental health means to them and the impact
of social media. Setting out ways in which young people can be
supported by all practitioners in primary care, and covering early
years through to late adolescence, the authors have created an
invaluable resource for any front-line practitioner working in this
area.

The Shefton Collection in Newcastle upon Tyne contains a fine array
of Greek and Etruscan objects and takes its name from its founder
Professor Brian Shefton (1919 - 2012). In spite of the importance
of this collection it has not been widely published and remains
something of a hidden gem. Brian Shefton was an insightful
collector, as well as a distinguished scholar of Greek and Etruscan
archaeology, and the 14 papers presented here reflect the broad
scope of the collection; ranging across pottery, jewellery,
terracottas and metalwork. The contributions, written by leading
experts in the field, focus on specific objects or groups of
objects in the Collection, providing new interpretations and
bringing previously unpublished items to light. The history of the
Shefton Collection is explored. Together these contributions
provide a tribute to a remarkable individual who made a substantial
and notable contribution to his discipline.

This book contains an introduction centred on migration, exile, «
the other, and the experience of multicultural communities in the
modern world, followed by three sections of original poetry. In
Part I, poems deal with Britain, Canada, and China (mainly Hong
Kong). In Part II the focus shifts to Australia and then Europe
again (mainly France). Part III, entitled « Shards presents
fragmentary lyric voices suggesting the processes of cultural
fragmentation and change. In each part the poems connect with
individual experience, historical events such as the French,
Russian and Chinese revolutions, myth and art. Multicultural
experience as a modern reality, loss, regeneration and creativity
are all major concerns in the poems. Their many artistic references
include, among others, Apollinaire, Bonnefoy, Michael Bullock,
Rosalia de Castro, Dante, Robert Desnos, Anne Frank, Li Po,
Magritte, Albert Namajira, Sidney Nolan, Bill Reid, Laura Wee Lay
Laq and Zhang Ji. From the experience of living in modern
multicultural societies, the writer envisages the kind of
international modernity that tries to preserve the dignity of
individuals and humane values. Such modernity has emerged from
cultures fragmented by revolutions, globalization, and rapid
change. These poems occupy both hemispheres, inhabit temperate and
tropical zones, and make cultural transfers across them.
