This book presents detailed information on the imidazolinone herbicides, provided in chapters contributed by scientists and product development managers who work for American Cyanamid, categorized in sections covering chemistry, biology, metabolism and residues, environmental fate and product performance. Each chapter has its own bibliography, and appendices give (a) details of the chemical and physical properties, formulations and trade names of imazapyr, imazamethabenz-methyl, imazethapyr and imazaquin, and (b) the scientific and common names of species used in the text. There is a general bibliography of references for each of the above imidazolinone herbicides and a useful subject index. The individual chapters are abstracted separately.

100 Ideas for Early Years Practitioners: Supporting Children with SEND is a must-have resource filled with fun, creative and engaging multi-sensory activities and strategies to best support the learning and development of children with special educational needs and disabilities (SEND), across the Early Years Foundation Stage. Increasing numbers of children require specialist interventions and support when they start in the Early Years. Susan O'Connor uses her wealth of experience to present 100 practical ideas to help all those working in the Early Years meet the individual learning needs of children with SEND, including attention and behaviour difficulties, speech and language difficulties, early signs of dyslexia, autism and dyspraxia, and social and emotional difficulties. With ideas focusing on fine and gross motor skills, working memory, social skills, early speech and language skills, and self-esteem and wellbeing, these fun and engaging strategies are suitable and easy to implement for both indoor and outdoor learning.

A multicultural anthology, edited by Susan O'Connor and Annick Smith, about the enduring importance and shifting associations of the hearth in our world. A hearth is many things: a place for solitude; a source of identity; something we make and share with others; a history of ourselves and our homes. It is the fixed center we return to. It is just as intrinsically portable. It is, in short, the perfect metaphor for what we seek in these complex and contradictory times-set in flux by climate change, mass immigration, the refugee crisis, and the dislocating effects of technology. Featuring original contributions from some of our most cherished voices-including Terry Tempest Williams, Bill McKibben, Pico Iyer, Natasha Trethewey, Luis Alberto Urrea, and Chigozie Obioma-Hearth suggests that empathy and storytelling hold the power to unite us when we have wandered alone for too long. This is an essential anthology that challenges us to redefine home and hearth: as a place to welcome strangers, to be generous, to care for the world beyond one's own experience.

Shakespeare by Any Other Name is a collection of two-act plays for teenagers. Set in different time periods and places, their plots, nevertheless, mirror the story lines of five favorite plays by Shakespeare: Twelfth Night, Midsummer Night's Dream, The Tempest, As You Like It, and Cymbeline. "Circle Dance" delivers the zany bewilderment of love that one might see in Shakespeare's comedy Twelfth Night. "Bob Weaver and the Teen Angel" takes its characters and plot from Midsummer Night's Dream. True to the setting of the play, all of its musical numbers are top of the chart songs of the 1960s. "The Gentle Art of Reappearing," which parallels Shakespeare's last play The Tempest, involves a different kind of storm on the island of Galveston, Texas. "Games" gives the audience a modern look at Shakespeare's As You Like It with a delightful romantic romp through another Forest of Arden, the piney woods of East Texas. As a spin-off of Cymbeline, "Imogen's War" takes place in 1918 in England and France at the end of WW I with the signing of the Armistice and the resolution of a family feud. For adolescent lovers of Shakespeare, these plays offer a twist from the classic versions of his plays. Not to be confused as alternatives-the Bard is inimitable-Shakespeare by any other name might still seem as sweet.

In pieces of literature rich with imagery and symbolism, the concept of dancing is often dominant because its elements have so strong a resemblance to the elements that make up our lives--the diverse steps in choreography, the partners, the moods, the missteps, the reasons for the dance. Dancing, therefore, provides an ancient instrument by which we can understand and know ourselves but also a metaphor for how we learn language and use it to communicate. In this handbook, you will see the steps that you can follow as you move through the dance of language. Though not always graceful in the beginning, you will become more adept and feel more at ease as you increase your knowledge, step by step, of how the language works and how it can work for you. Unlike some kinds of dances that require strict choreography, your language demands that you know and use many skills concurrently. The skills and knowledge for writing and for critical analysis of literature build on each other and prepare students for reading, writing, and thinking. Serious students of dance must understand not only the inner workings of the body, bones and muscle that allow the body to move but also the importance of maintaining balance and conditioning. The handbook, therefore, includes tools for maintaining strength in studying how words, phrases, and sentences are combined to form the framework that allows our language to move gracefully and to move us--to inform, to persuade, to entertain, to touch our hearts and minds. The ideas in the book support a core curriculum in the humanities. Classic ideas tend to form cohesive patterns, and some of those great thinkers who have left marvelous gifts for the foundation of ourthinking and language--Aristotle, Plato, Emerson, Thoreau, Freud, Jung and others are included here.
