'Understanding money opens the door to a better life. Everyone should read this book' - Guy Johnson, Bloomberg Take charge of your finances while you're still in school and set yourself up for a bright future! Max Your Money introduces the subject of money and finance to tweens and young teens. Broken into three key sections – Earn it, Grow it, and Use it, the book guides young readers through essential concepts relating to money which will help them become more financially astute and confident about money matters as they enter their teens. The practical guide to money is packed with jaunty illustrations and eye-catching infographics, which ensures the content is engaging and age appropriate throughout. As well as giving young people money skills, the book also looks at money from a moral and philosophical perspective, offering the reader pointers on how to become a financially responsible person.

Chris Madden's collection of cartoons about gardening and gardeners will raise a smile for anyone who has even the slightest interest in the patch of land outside their home. Concentrating on the people in the garden as much as the activities that are performed there, there are cartoons here for everyone who has a garden or an interest in gardening (and whether they're interested in cultivating the garden or simply sitting in it). The characters introduced in the cartoons range from the obsessive gardener for whom a single leaf out of place is a cause for concern, through the person who'd rather dig the garden than decorate the kitchen (this is the author's position), to the person whose idea of gardening is lying on a lounger with a good book (perhaps this one).

With the price of smartphones falling and their quality/capabilities increasing, the consumption of smartphones is on the rise. Smartphones have become a pocket computer and a must have necessity for many people. People want to have access to the internet at all times and smartphones provide this. Moreover, smartphones offer students with a new way of learning referred to as mobile learning. This thesis looks at how students are using their smartphones socially and for their education which is an unexplored topic. This thesis also looks at the potentials of mobile learning and the question of whether smartphones are replacing laptops. In this thesis I surveyed 100 students to find out how smartphones affect their social life and education. From my results I found some very interesting findings which provide a new insight into how students are benefiting from using their smartphones for educational purposes. My results also show that 68% of my respondents are addicted to using their smartphone and that many students are now beginning to replace laptops with their smartphones for many functions.

Madden presents humorous, thought-provoking cartoons about the environmental dilemmas facing the world in the 21st century.
