Health, Happiness, and Well-Being provides readers with a panoramic
view of what the best psychological science has to offer regarding
how to attain physical health and optimum psychological
functioning. Students, faculty, general readers, and professionals
can rely on the expertise of leading scholars to assist them in
evaluating claims and appreciating the influence of popular yet
unsubstantiated beliefs in shaping opinions about behavioral health
and psychological well-being. Packed with examples drawn from the
media and scientific journals, the authors discuss why accurate,
up-to-date, and valid health information is vital to achieving the
good life.
This book pays tribute to Scott O. Lilienfeld of Emory University,
a leading scholar in the field of clinical science who has made
important contributions to a wide range of central topics including
definition of the field, cognitive biases and critical thinking,
memory, personality and personality disorders, projective testing
and its problems, cultural sensitivity and issues like
microaggressions, forensic psychology and neuroscience, among
others. His writings are known for their clarity, their astute
critical frame, their fairness, and their intellectual courage in
the face of controversy. This anthology serves as a thorough
introduction to the scientific evolution of clinical psychology,
collecting contributions from leading authorities in each of these
domains to comment on past and future insights made possible by
Scott Lilienfeld's work.

Young Roblay runs through his Somali village practicing for the big
race, where only the fastest runners will be declared men. He turns
for advice to his grandfather, who tells Roblay of the mighty
Shabelle River, which is strong and swift like a cheetah. Roblay
must capture that spirit if he is to finish among the winners of
the race and become a man. Inspired by her father's storytelling,
Khadra Mohammed joins Karen Lynn Williams in retelling this Somali
coming-of-age tale, beautifully illustrated by artist Julia Cairns.
The story of a proud people who once lived together peacefully and
drew wisdom from the animals, it is sure to generate enthusiastic
discussion in the classroom. An appendix provides further
information on the cheetah--the fastest land animal on earth and
now an endangered species.

When relief workers bring used clothing to the refugee camp,
everyone scrambles to grab whatever they can. Ten-year-old Lina is
thrilled when she finds a sandal that fits her foot perfectly,
until she sees that another girl has the matching shoe. But soon
Lina and Feroza meet and decide that it is better to share the
sandals than for each to wear only one. As the girls go about their
routines washing clothes in the river, waiting in long lines for
water, and watching for their names to appear on the list to go to
America the sandals remind them that frie ndship is what is most
important. Four Feet, Two Sandals was inspired by a refugee girl
who asked the authors why there were no books about children like
her. With warm colors and sensitive brush strokes, this book
portrays the strength, courage, and hope of refugees around the
world, whose daily existence is marked by uncertainty and fear.

Sangoel is a refugee. Leaving behind his homeland of Sudan, where
his father died in the war, he has little to call his own other
than his name, a Dinka name handed down proudly from his father and
grandfather before him. When Sangoel and his mother and sister
arrive in the United States, everything seems very strange and
unlike home. In this busy, noisy place, with its escalators and
television sets and traffic and snow, Sangoel quietly endures the
fact that no one is able to pronounce his name. Lonely and
homesick, he finally comes up with an ingenious solution to this
problem, and in the process he at last begins to feel at home.
Written by the authors of the acclaimed Four Feet, Two Sandals,
this poignant story of identity and belonging will help young
readers understand the plight of the millions of children in the
world who are refugees.
Kondi is determined to make a galimoto -- a toy vehicle made of wires. His brother laughs at the idea, but all day Kondi goes about gathering up the wire he needs. By nightfall, his wonderful galimoto is ready for the village children to play with in the light of the moon.

legendary Lady Godiva, boasts a rich and engaging history. Revealed
within is a plethora of entertaining facts about Warwickshire's

Chin Yu was born in a London slum to a Chinese man and a British
woman. When Chin was seven the family moved to her father's village
in China but he died soon after they arrived. Her mother took the
children to live in Hong Kong where, a few years later, she
remarried. A few months after Britain had joined World War II, all
British women and children were ordered to be evacuated to
Australia. However, Chin and her brother were excluded because of
the White Australia Policy, so they returned. Eighteen months later
the Japanese invaded Hong Kong and Chin's family were interned in a
camp. Although there was great deprivation, Chin fell in love -
with a Roman Catholic priest. He was released by the Japanese along
with other missionaries to China and, a few months later, she and
her brother were released as part of an exchange of American and
Japanese civilian prisoners of war. After a long sea journey, they
arrived at New York but found themselves suspected of being
Japanese spies and were detained on Ellis Island until the
employers of their uncle in Oregon agreed to sponsor them. After a
few months in Eugene they moved to San Francisco where Chin worked
in the propaganda section of the British consulate and she met her
first husband, Dick Ellison, who converted her into a passionate
socialist. They moved to New York where they were befriended by
many radical activists in Greenwich Village. Chin studied ballet
and got a part in the original production of "South Pacific" on
Broadway. After more than a year she went to London as a dancer in
the UK production of "Kiss me Kate". After six months Dick came to
London wanting a divorce. Many friends helped her get over him. She
even had started having an affair with another actor when she was
cast as an understudy in the UK production of "South Pacific". Her
opposite number was David Williams, an Australian who was married
and had a daughter. But they fell in love anyway and had an intense
on-again-off-again relationship for the duration of "South Pacific"
both in London and during its British tour - 3 years in toto -
until David got divorced. Chin left the tour early to play in
"Teahouse of the August Moon" in London. David and she did
eventually get married in 1954. They bought a house near Victoria
Station and in 1956 a son and daughter (twins) were born. Chin had
minor roles in various films, TV plays and even a (non-singing)
role in an opera but she was best known for her performance of
"hand-mime" - beautiful hand gestures choreographed to express
lyrics which David often sang in their cabaret act. The family
moved to Beckenham, Kent, which is just outside London. Lynne came
to live with them and Chin had a difficult time trying to teach her
"common sense" and the rudiments of taking care of a household. In
1960 Chin was in a play "A Majority of One", David was managing the
Pembroke Theatre nearby in Croydon. All seemed perfect until they
heard that David's father was very ill. They decided to move to
Australia. Unfortunately, they were too late to see David's father,
but all his family welcomed Chin very warmly. The last chapter
summarises Chin's life (another fifty years) in Sydney. She was a
very supportive wife, a loving and generous mother and stepmother
and later a devoted grandmother. Although she never regained the
celebrity she had enjoyed in London, she still played a significant
role in the Australian entertainment industry.
