She won our hearts when she told us she was out to change the
world. But Ann Kiemel Anderson discovered that success can be
addictive, and soon she found that the world had changed her. Ann's
first book in five years, Seduced By Success chronicles two major
battles in her life: combating an addiction to the praise of others
and overcoming an addiction to pain medication for a chronic
illness. Drug-free for the last two years, Ann now shares
heart-to-heart with her readers, saying, "I no longer want power
and glory. God has given me a second chance to be used by Him. With
quiet joy, I prepare to write something beautiful for God."

Long before television and radio commercials beckoned to potential
buyers, the medicine show provided free entertainment and promised
cures for everything from corns to cancer. Combining elements of
the circus, theater, vaudeville, and good old-fashioned
entrepreneurship, the showmen of the American medicine show sold
tonics, ointments, pills, extracts and a host of other
""wonder-cures,"" guaranteed to ""cure what ails you."" While the
cures were seldom miraculous, the medicine show was an important
part of American culture and of performance history. Harry Houdini,
Buster Keaton, and P.T. Barnum all took a turn upon the medicine
show stage. This study of the medicine show phenomenon surveys
nineteenth century popular entertainment and provides insight into
the ways in which show business, advertising, and medicine
manufacture developed in concert. The colorful world of the
medicine show, with its Wild West shows, pie-eating contests,
clowns, and menageries, is fully explored. Photographs of
performers and of the fascinating handbills and posters used to
promote the medicine show are included.

All teachers and professionals dealing with children with special educational needs must have an understanding of child development in order to make judgements about children's behaviour in terms of delay, disorder and diversity.
This ground-breaking book provides a framework for understanding the physical, sensory, emotional, social, linguistic, and cognitive development of children, but especially those with special educational needs. Written for practitioners and students alike, it helps keep track of children's developmental progress and provides a sound understanding and knowledge of the child in order to optimise learning opportunities. Although the book is essentially practical, the authors cover the theoretical ground which is vital in fully understanding cognitive development.
This book brings together a collection of research-based papers on
current issues in early childhood mathematics education that were
presented in the Topic Study Group 1 (TSG 1) at the 13th
International Congress on Mathematical Education (ICME-13), held at
the University of Hamburg in 2016. It will help readers understand
a range of key issues that early childhood mathematics educators
encounter today. Research on early childhood mathematics education
has grown in recent years, due in part to the well-documented,
positive relation between children's early mathematical knowledge
and their later mathematics learning, and to the considerable
emphasis many countries are now placing on preschool education. The
book addresses a number of central questions, including: What is
mathematical structural development and how can we promote it in
early childhood? How can multimodality and embodiment contribute to
early mathematics learning and to acquiring a better understanding
of young children's mathematical development? How can children's
informal mathematics-related experiences affect instruction and
children's learning in different mathematics content areas? What is
the role of tools, including technology and picture books, in
supporting early mathematics learning? What are the challenges in
early childhood mathematics education for teachers' education and
professional development?

Complex factors affect young children and their families in today's
increasingly diverse world characterized by globalization, the
transnational movement of people, and neo-liberal government
policies in western and industrialized countries. This book focuses
on three of these factors-culture, language and learning-and how
they affect children's development and learning in the context of
their communities, families and schools. Taking an ecological
perspective, it challenges normative and hegemonic views of young
children's language, literacy and numeracy development and offers
examples of demonstrated educational practices that acknowledge and
build on the knowledge that children develop and learn in
culturally specific ways in their homes and communities. The
authors highlight issues and perspectives that are particular to
Indigenous people who have been subjected to centuries of
assimilationist and colonialist policies and practices, and the
importance of first or home language maintenance and its cognitive,
cultural, economic, psychological and social benefits. Links are
provided to a package of audio-video resources
(http://blogs.ubc.ca/intersectionworkshop/) including key note
speeches and interviews with leading international scholars, and a
collection of vignettes from the workshop from which this volume
was produced .
Ann is sixty and suffering from celibacy. Going through two
divorces has made her skittish; having two children has made her
cautious. But finally her longing for sex and romance sends her
hurtling out of her comfort zone. Her adventure begins with a very
nice transvestite and gets more interesting from there. Put a
divorcee raised in the 1950s into the Internet world, and this is
what you get: a comic romp that evolves into a profound and
touching experience, complete with some meaty moral questions and
answers. Ranging from Montclair, New Jersey to Harare, Zimbabwe,
Daring to Date Again: A Picaresque Memoir is a compelling, often
racy memoir of one woman s late-life adventures with sex and dating
in the modern world."

Pook Press celebrates the great Golden Age of Illustration in
children's literature. Many of the earliest children's books,
particularly those dating back to the 1850s and before, are now
extremely scarce and increasingly expensive. Pook Press are working
to republish these classic works in affordable, high quality,
colour editions, using the original text and artwork so these works
can delight another generation of children. Anne Anderson
(1874-c.1940) was a Scottish illustrator chiefly noted for her Art
Nouveau children's book illustrations that display fluidity typical
of the movement. Characteristic of her work are decorative and
lightly drawn or painted illustrations of neatly dressed children,
neatly dressed with pear-shaped faces. Anderson's work has been
compared to that of Jessie M. King, a contemporary.
Distinguished by their lavish sculpture, metalwork or tile facades,
Art Nouveau buildings certainly stand out. Art Nouveau buildings
are unique, audacious and inspirational. Rejecting historic styles,
considered inappropriate for an era driven by progress, architects
and designers sought a new vocabulary of architectural forms. Their
vision was shaped by modern materials and innovative technologies,
including iron, glass and ceramics. A truly democratic style, Art
Nouveau transformed life on the eve of the twentieth century and
still captivates our imaginations today. Beautifully illustrated,
this book explains how the new style came into being, its rationale
and why it is known by so many different names: French Art Nouveau,
German Jugendstil, Viennese Secession, Catalan Modernisme, Italian
Liberty and Portuguese Arte Nova. It covers the key architects and
designers associated with the style; Victor Horta in Brussels,
Hector Guimard in Paris, Antoni Gaudi on Barcelona, Otto Wagner in
Vienna, Odon Lechner in Budapest and Charles Rennie Mackintosh in
Glasgow. There are detailed descriptions and stunning photographs
of buildings to be found in Brussels, Paris, Nancy, Darmstadt,
Vienna, Budapest, Barcelona, Milan, Turin and Aveiro. Finally, it
covers the decorative arts, stained glass, tiles and metalwork that
make Art Nouveau buildings so distinctive.
