This magical story follows three children living in a tower
block, as they embark on a fantastical adventure which helps them
see their home in a new light. A deeply personal story written by
multi-award winning poet and Waterstones Children's
Laureate Joseph Coelho, drawn from his own experience growing
up in a tower block and looking for adventure. This story is a
celebration of, and a reclaiming of tower blocks as a place where
magic and adventure can happen. It’s a modern-day fable that
shows the children of a tower block travelling to a strange,
magical world inside a tree and meeting an old man with
supernatural powers, only to realise that the magic they’d been
looking for had been in their tower all along. Beautiful
illustrations complement the poetic narrative, creating an
enchanting story which children and adults alike will fall in love
with. ​ This powerful story is about how society separates
‘urban’ spaces from the countryside, but the reality is that
nature is everywhere, and everyone should have access to it.Â

This title is a new volume in Lewis Masonic's new series of
practical guides for Lodge officers. In each volume author Richard
Johnson takes one of the Lodge offices and gives clear practical
advice to those taking on this role for the first time. Each book
also serves as a handy reference guide to the role for the more
experienced officers. "The Director of Ceremonies" volume also
contains useful advice for the Assistant Director of Ceremonies.
The Director of Ceremonies role is vital in a Lodge to ensure that
everything that happens in a lodge meeting and at the subsequent
meal is performed exactly as it should be. As well as looking at
general ceremonial practicalities the book also examines out of
lodge functions and the important role of man management for the
Director of Ceremonies. The book concludes with appendices giving a
handy checklist of duties.
It has long been recognised in Lodges that a Mentor can provide
invaluable support, advice and information to Candidates. Grand
Lodge is investigating formally raising the profile of the role and
in the meantime increasing numbers of Lodges are setting up
mentoring programmes, some as formal appointments and others as
informal schemes. For all there is a need for an accessible book
outlining the best practice for a Mentor and giving advice on how
best to fulfill this role. In this book Richard Johnson presents a
practical guide to the Mentor (see details attached). He introduces
the role and why it has become increasingly necessary to appoint
Mentors. The main part of the book then deals with how the Mentor
can assist the Candidate for initiation and the member after
initiation, passing and raising. The Mentor is involved in all
aspects of running the Lodge as he can guide Members through their
career in the Lodge. Richard Johnson also gives a useful
bibliography of various official booklets and leaflets that are
available on many of the individual aspects of the role. The
proposed chapters are: Introduction, The Candidate for Initiation,
The Member After Initiation, The Member After Passing, The Member
After Raising, and The Member After Occupying the Chair of the
Lodge.

disciplines, this market-leading text offers a readable
introduction to the statistical analysis of multivariate
observations. Its primary goal is to impart the knowledge necessary
to make proper interpretations and select appropriate techniques

statistics, with an emphasis on engineering and science
applications. Much of the data has been collected from the author's

engineers about the use of statistics in their fields. In later
chapters, the text emphasises designed experiments, especially
two-level factorial design. The Ninth Edition includes several new
datasets and examples showing application of statistics in
scientific investigations, familiarising students with the latest
methods, and readying them to become real-world engineers and
scientists.
Technical Communication Todayremains the only text to fully
centralize the computer in the technical workplace, presenting how
writers use computers throughout their communication process.
Writers use their computers to help them think, research, compose,
design, and edit. Not only is Technical Communication Today firmly
rooted in core rhetorical principles, but the text also presents
computers as thinking tools that powerfully influence how we
develop, produce, design, and deliver technical documents and
presentations. Clear instruction not only describes technical
documents, but also guides the reader through the activity of
producing them. Technical Communication Today helps communicators
draft and design documents, prepare material for print and Web
publication, and make oral presentations; by bringing computers to
the foreground as thinking tools, it accurately reflects the modern
day computer-centered technical workplace. Technical Communication
Today speaks to today's students and how they expect to learn
information. Instructional narrative is "chunked," so that readable
portions of text are combined with graphics. Not only does this
presentation facilitate learning, but it also models the way
today's technical documents should be designed. Additionally, the
chunked presentation integrates an awareness of how documents are
read-often "raided" by readers seeking the information they need.
By mirroring these processes in its content and structure,
Technical Communication Today offers a higher level of
accessibility for readers.
For introductory courses in Technical Communication. Technical
Communication Strategies for Today offers both and speaks to

about a fractured bond between father and son - and the injured
bird that helps to heal it. When Noah's dad visits from New York,
he and Noah come across an injured nightjar during a walk in the
countryside. Noah is determined to save the bird, but his dad
believes they should leave it alone to let nature take its course.
As father and son argue, it becomes clear that Noah is angry about
more than just the bird. He feels abandoned and misunderstood by
his dad, who has moved to the US and started a new family there
that doesn't seem to have room for Noah. Can they find a way to
build a new relationship and rediscover the common ground between
them?
