This practical book covers issues related to suicide risk,
prevention and postvention in Higher and Further Education
communities. Compiled by 37 experts, it is an authoritative guide
to an issue that is causing increasingly large concern for FE and
HE institutions and covers multiple evidence-backed approaches with
a pragmatic focus. It is the first that specifically deals with
student suicide in FE Colleges and universities, encouraging a
holistic, institutional response. Chapters are split into three
sections, beginning with understanding and preventing student
suicide among students, followed by responses to risk, including a
model for student prevention in HE settings. The book concludes
with the response to student death by suicide with advice on
postvention, and how to support bereaved family, staff, and
students.
Art and religion are both well-attested and much-studied aspects of
ancient Greek life, yet their relationship is not perfectly
understood. Religion in the Art of Archaic and Classical Greece
presents an important rethinking of these two categories. The book
examines not only how and where religious activity is presented
visually at particular moments and in certain forms, but also what
objects and images can tell us about the experiences and
impressions of Greek religion. Through an exploration of portable
or relatively small-scale art forms—vases, figurines, gems,
plaques—Tyler Jo Smith focuses on the visual and material
evidence for religious life and customs in Archaic and Classical
Greece (sixth to fourth centuries BC). The book introduces its
readers to categories of religious practice (e.g., sacrifices,
votive offerings, funerals), to the pertinent artistic evidence for
them, and to a range of scholarly approaches. Smith combines the
study of iconography and the examination of material objects with
theoretical perspectives on ritual and performance. When given
visual form, religion holds much in common with other ancient Greek
modes of artistic expression, including dance and drama. Religion
is viewed here as a dynamic performative act, as an expression of
connectivity, and as a mechanism of communication. While the
complexities of Greek religion cannot be discerned through the
visual or material record alone, Religion in the Art of Archaic and
Classical Greece frames a more nuanced reading of the artistic
evidence than has been previously available. Richly illustrated
with 216 halftones and sixteen color plates of mostly small-scale
objects, the book is much more than a gathering of images and
information in a single place. Taken as a whole, it argues for a
visual and material tradition that is intended to express the
ritualized practices and shared attitudes of religious life, a
story that large public works alone are simply never going to tell.
Young children are better able to cope with their ever-changing
world, overcome obstacles, and grow into emotionally healthy adults
if they are provided opportunities to build their self-awareness
and confidence. Help children appreciate themselves and others,
explore relationships, and develop coping mechanisms for dealing
with change and difficult events in their lives as they learn about
self-esteem, emotions and feelings, family, friends, and changes in
life.

Children deserve to play and learn in safe environments. The
earlier children understand safety concepts, the more naturally
they will de¬velop the attitudes and respect that lead to lifelong
patterns of safe behavior. Support children as they begin to
incorporate actions into their lives that make them feel more
secure and learn about pedestrian safety, seat belt use, fire and

In the last decade there has been a proliferation of landscape
writing in Britain and Ireland, often referred to as 'The New
Nature Writing'. Rooted in the work of an older generation of
environment-focused authors and activists, this new form is both
stylistically innovative and mindful of ecology and conservation
practice. The New Nature Writing: Rethinking the Literature of
Place connects these two generations to show that the contemporary
energy around the cultures of landscape and place is the outcome of
a long-standing relationship between environmentalism and the arts.
Drawing on original interviews with authors, archival research, and
scholarly work in the fields of literary geographies, ecocriticism
and archipelagic criticism, the book covers the work of such
writers as Robert Macfarlane, Richard Mabey, Tim Robinson and Alice
Oswald. Examining the ways in which these authors have engaged with
a wide range of different environments, from the edgelands to
island spaces, Jos Smith reveals how they recreate a resourceful
and dynamic sense of localism in rebellion against the homogenising
growth of "clone town Britain."
Stephanie J. Smith brings Mexican politics and art together,
chronicling the turbulent relations between radical artists and the
postrevolutionary Mexican state. The revolution opened space for
new political ideas, but by the late 1920s many government
officials argued that consolidating the nation required coercive
measures toward dissenters. While artists and intellectuals, some
of them professed Communists, sought free expression in matters
both artistic and political, Smith reveals how they simultaneously
learned the fine art of negotiation with the increasingly
authoritarian government in order to secure clout and financial
patronage. But the government, Smith shows, also had reason to
accommodate artists, and a surprising and volatile interdependence
grew between the artists and the politicians. Involving well-known
artists such as Frida Kahlo, Diego Rivera, and David Alfaro
Siqueiros, as well as some less well known, including Tina Modotti,
Leopoldo Mendez, and Aurora Reyes, politicians began to appropriate
the artists' nationalistic visual images as weapons in a national
propaganda war. High-stakes negotiating and co-opting took place
between the two camps as they sparred over the production of
generally accepted notions and representations of the revolution's
legacy-and what it meant to be authentically Mexican.
