How satisfying would it be to complete 100 drawings? With 100 Days
of Drawing, author Jennifer Orkin Lewis (@augustwren) sets you up
for success. A practitioner of daily drawing for four years
straight, Lewis divides this sketchbook into 25 of her favorite
subjects and techniques. Doodle faces on objects, patterns on tea
cups, animals in outfits, people in fanciful headdresses and much
more; each new theme is fun and rewarding, regardless of your skill
level. Lewis also nudges you past the blank page by providing
creative prompts and interesting backgrounds to draw on and shows
you how to experiment with markers, gel pens, and colored pencils.
Your own interpretation of her prompts will make your sketchbook
completely unique. Just like her first book, Draw Every Day, Draw
Every Way, this sketchbook has a removable jacket and an exposed
binding that lies perfectly flat.
Embarking on a daily creative project has become a phenomenon in
recent years. Conceived by illustrator Jennifer Orkin Lewis, this
guided journal is both a container and a cheerleader for carving
out a moment of self-expression each day. To conquer the
intimidating prospect of filling 365 blank spaces, Lewis divides
the journal into twelve monthly themes and provides prompts
suggesting what to draw each day. Each month begins with an
inspiring tutorial that shows you how to draw with different
materials: ballpoint pens, metallic gel pens, coloured pencils,
paint and collage. The entries are not dated. You can work through
the journal from front to back, or jump around and draw whatever
appeals to you at the moment.

you up for success;

* Calculating your true product costs and how to price your menu
in a way that will be profitable;
* Connecting with customers inexpensively by using traditional
marketing tools and social media to keep them coming back for more;
and
* Appendices containing detailed worksheets that clearly walk you
through the financial side of the business and comprehensive lists
of resources and business licensing offices broken down by state
and territory.
Organizing for Suicide Prevention: A Case Study at the Golden Gate
Bridge describes the long struggle to end a tragic history of
individuals jumping from the bridge to their death. Readers learn
how a group of advocates grew and sustained a coalition led by
families touched by suicide, and including prevention supporters,
health professionals, and other interested parties, to build a
successful campaign for a suicide prevention structure at the
Golden Gate Bridge. Central to this story is an understanding that
restricting easy access to lethal means-a simple yet often poorly
understood suicide prevention technique-can save lives. The text
demonstrates how the coalition's advocacy was employed to gain
approval for an access restriction structure on the bridge.
Dedicated chapters help readers understand how to develop a public
campaign to address suicide hotspots or other mental health issues
through community organizing, assertive communications, and a
persistent focus on goals. Balancing the findings of suicide
prevention researchers with practical application, Organizing for
Suicide Prevention is an ideal textbook for undergraduate or
graduate social work macro courses focused on communities and
organizations. It is also a valuable resource for practicing social
workers, community advocates, and community organizers.
