"English and Ethnicity" offers a scholarly but accessible
exploration of the complex interaction between the English language
and the (de) construction of ethnicity. Centered in applied (socio)
linguistics, the volume's diverse essays demonstrate that the
constructs of both "English" and "ethnicity" are contested sites of
identity formation in the English- speaking world. They illustrate
that while for some English use indexes ethnicity, for others its
usage involves equally significant processes of de-ethnicization.
English and Ethnicity enriches our understanding of the
contemporary dialogue on heritage languages, language policy, and
language maintenance.
This is a comprehensive resource of photocopiable worksheets to aid
therapeutic intervention. Cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) aims
to help people overcome their emotional difficulties through
helping them identify and change their thoughts and behaviour. CBT
has been evaluated for a wide range of presenting problems and
evidence of its efficacy found for depression, panic, agoraphobia,
generalised anxiety disorder (GAD), specific phobia, social phobia,
obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) and post-traumatic stress
disorder (PTSD). This eminently practical book provides more than
80 A4 photocopiable worksheets for cognitive behavioural therapists
to use with clients. As well as covering the fundamental techniques
of CBT, it supplies worksheets specific to presenting problems,
such as OCD, panic and worry. Worksheets are essential tools in
CBT. They record events and patterns, provide new information, and
suggest new ways of thinking and acting. When and how to use a
worksheet is determined by a number of factors: the formulation,
the stage in therapy, the current focus of treatment, the reading
and writing ability of the client and the wishes of the client. The
use of worksheets in CBT is an ongoing learning process for both
therapists and clients. This is a fantastic resource for all
clinicians working within the cognitive behavioural model.

Meet the Newells, a big family of good lookers and hard grafters.
From their sleepy working class backwater, the siblings break into
Oxford academia, London's high life, the glossy world of magazine
publishing and the stratospheric riches of New York's hedge funds.
Then there's Paddy, the wrong'un in their midst, who prefers life's
underbelly. As things fall apart around his sister Bea, is Paddy
behind it all? And why does matriarch Edie turn a blind eye to her
son's malevolence? Will she stand by and watch while he wrecks the
lives of her other children? Just how much is she willing to
sacrifice to protect her son? The book opens with Edie, now in her
seventies, who looks back on her early married life with her
husband, George, and their ever-growing brood. She loved having
babies, but resented their growth and increasing independence. She
recalls the horror and confusion surrounding the death of her
toddler son, Timmy. Even though it happened forty years ago, she
still blames her brother, his uncle, for falling asleep while he
was supposed to be looking after the children. Now, her favourite
son, Paddy, has just been released from prison for dangerous
driving. She is good at making excuses for him. All her other
children are successful, and have done extremely well in their
chosen careers, but it becomes apparent that she begrudges her only
daughter's success. Why does she resent her daughter so much? Paddy
is malevolent, violent, bullying, cruel... Edie has never forgiven
herself for giving him up to the care system before she married
George. He has never fitted in with his siblings, and is the bad
apple that can ruin the whole batch. The only person he has ever
cared about is his stepfather, George, who saw only too clearly
what Edie has always been blind to. Bea, the only daughter in the
family, has grown up knowing her mother doesn't love her. She is a
successful journalist, and adores her husband, David, and her
stepchildren, but longs for a baby of her own. Then suddenly David
dies. In the midst of her grief, her glamorous cleaning lady,
Lorena, flaunts her pregnancy. She insists that the baby is
David's, and is willing to take a DNA test to prove it. Welcome to
the world of the Newells, where nothing is as it seems.

by which each of us can overcome the dehumanizing forces all around
us and grow into the full-bodied, open-minded, spiritually joyful
beings we all have the potential to become.
I Wish Someone Were Waiting For Me Somewhere explores how a life
can be changed irrevocably in just one fateful moment. A pregnant
mother's plans for the future unravel at the hospital; a travelling
salesman learns the consequences of an almost-missed exit on the
motorway in the newspaper the next morning; while a perfect date is
spoilt by a single act of thoughtlessness. In those crucial moments
Gavalda demonstrates her almost magical skill in conveying love,
lust, longing, and loneliness. Someone I Loved is a hauntingly
intimate look at the intolerably painful, yet sometimes valuable
consequences that adultery can have on a marriage and the
individuals involved. A simple tale, yet long in substance, Someone
I Loved ends like most great love affairs, forever leaving you
wanting just one more moment.
