Here's a poetry collection by comedy performance poet Neal Zetter
that takes you back to his time at school - and it looks as if not
much has changed! Meet Mr Shoutyteacher, always getting in a STROP,
as well as the school nose-picker (careful if he's sitting next to
you!). What's your excuse for not doing your home-work? Who feels
like maths is a number-filled mystery? What's your favourite sport
- football in the playground or risk the dangers of roller-skating?
Rap and rhyme your way around all the notable characters in school,
not forgetting the members of your own embarrassing family. And
look out for jokes as well as fascinating facts (true or false?).

Some people like to think that a collection of poems for children
has to be either funny or serious, as if there are two types of
children who will only like one or the other. But life isn't like
that, is it! Some days we think hard, some days we cry and some
days we laugh loudly and boldly, and so do children. Many of the
poems in this collection are about real life. Others are about life
as its found in the quirly imagination of the poet. Between the
covers of this book, you will find poems that puzzle you, tell you
stories, make you ask questions. There are dangerous poems,
delicate poems and daft poems. One minute you will be hiding in a
dusty PE cupboard with a friend who is sad, the next you will be
buying ice cream from a polar bear. This is a roller coaster of
poems, that mirrors the ups and downs of daily life. Whether you
are in thinking mood, laughing mood, or a crazy mood, there are
poems here that will keep you company.

Stories of Open: Opening Peer Review through Narrative Inquiry
examines the methods and processes of peer review, as well as the
stories of those who have been through it. Eleven chapters are
divided into three parts: Part 1: Orientation. This section offers
a conceptual frame for the book, providing details about narrative
inquiry as a methodology and the author's worldview and research
approach. Part 2: The Stories (The Story Middle). What is the
standard experience of peer review in our field? This section
shares stories told from a variety of viewpoints and
roles—author, editor, and referee—and explores how these roles
interact, the tension between them, and the duality and sometimes
multiplicity of roles experienced by any one individual. Part 3:
Coda. These four chapters tie the stories to the idea of open and
look in detail at the research method, as well as imagine how we
might move forward—reflecting on our past stories to create
future ones. When we open ourselves to others' experiences, we
reflect on our own. Stories of Open offers questions for reflection
at the end of many chapters in order to assist in the continued
exploration of your own experiences with peer review, and
encourages the use of these reflections in creating new and
improved peer review methods.
We've all felt occasional pangs of shyness and self-consciousness,
but for the 15 million Americans with social anxiety disorder, the
fear of being scrutinized and criticized can reach disabling
proportions. Such was the case for Emily Ford, who shares her
firsthand experiences in these pages.
Emily's true story of fear, struggle, and ultimate triumph is sure
to resonate with other socially anxious teenagers and young adults.
Emily's frank, often witty, sometimes poignant account of how she
negotiated all the obstacles of social anxiety--and eventually
overcame them with the help of therapy and hard work--makes for
compelling reading. Yet this book is more than just a memoir.
Emily's story is coupled with the latest
medical and scientific information about the causes, diagnosis,
treatment, and self-management of social anxiety disorder (or SAD).
Readers will find a wealth of solid advice and genuine inspiration
here. In engaging, accessible language--and with the help of
psychiatrist Michael Liebowitz--she
discusses what is known and not known about social anxiety disorder
in adolescents. She outlines the various psychotherapies available
for those with SAD and explains how to seek professional help, how
to talk to family and friends about the illness, and how to handle
difficult social situations.
The result is both an absorbing story and a useful guide that will
help to ease the isolation caused by SAD, encouraging young people
to believe that, with commitment and hard work, they can overcome
this illness.
Part of the Adolescent Mental Health Initiative series of books
written specifically for teens and young adults, What You Must
Think of Me will also be a valuableresource for friends and family
of those with SAD. It offers much-needed hope to young people,
helping them to overcome this illness and
lead healthy, productive lives.
