Amanda T. Abbott-Jones provides practical and motivational guidance for dyslexic learners in higher education. It presents effective strategies appropriate for dealing with an array of study tasks including note taking, essay writing, reading, exams etc., while also delivering targeted emotional support. Pragmatic methods are delivered from the voices of students with dyslexia who have first-hand experience of fine-tuning study techniques, making learning suitable for how the dyslexic brain processes and memorises information to become successful in the academic world. As such, this book does not simply present strategies from an educational perspective, but instead draws on the wealth of empirical knowledge from the source of dyslexia – the dyslexic people themselves. This gives readers a collective shared identity, which has been previously lacking, teamed with valuable advice on ways to overcome cognitive and emotional difficulties by using appropriate strategies to enable people with dyslexia to flourish in the university environment.

People can best help dyslexic students once they understand dyslexia's association with anxiety and effective coping strategies, both cognitively and emotionally. By highlighting the perspectives of dyslexic students, this book evidences the prevalence of anxiety in dyslexic communities. The shared experience from a range of dyslexic learners pinpoints best practice models and helps combat the isolation felt by many with learning difficulties. The author targets academic areas where students struggle, offering techniques to overcome these barriers. Such obstacles are not always due to cognitive factors but may be associated with negative experiences, leading to fear and uncertainty. Recounting these sticking points through student voices, rather than from a staff viewpoint, enables readers to find meaningful solutions to dyslexia-related problems. Through this dynamic methodology, the book shows researchers and practitioners how to understand dyslexic needs on an emotional level, while presenting dyslexic readers with practical coping methods.

UFOs are humanity's most urgent and baffling mystery. Thousands of completely unexplainable objects seen globally every year by people of unimpeachable character and competence. Objects which inspire awe in airline pilots, fighter pilots, naval officers, police officers, and air traffic controllers. And, if that weren't enough to chill your blood, UFOs are also closely associated with the weirdest of events - abductions of humans, animal mutilations, strange creatures, telepathy, portals, and more. With detailed research, insights, and a little humour, Volume 2 of the successful "Outsider's Guide" series takes you on a journey through the whole modern topic - from the latest 21st century UFO sightings by the most credible observers, through the "myth" allegations, to the weirdest of UFOs, and down into the depths of the paranormal. What are UFOs? The answers are not easy. To get at them, Volume 2 blasts through every prejudice and preconception you've ever believed in.
