Life Is Sweet
Gratitude makes life sweeter—and better. Here’s a collection of things to be happy about. Research tells us that people who appreciate where their bread is buttered and how sweet the jam on their toast is tend to be healthier, live longer, and enjoy more successful lives (although they may not define success as having the most marbles). And for sure, other people want to spend more time around them! In Life is Sweet, Addie Johnson has gathered things that have made her happy—stories, quotes, achievements achieved and unpleasant tasks done, good laughs, time spent with children and animals, health or progress toward it—and encourages us to look around and find our own fodder for happiness. It’s a source we can turn to again and again—whenever we need a taste of sweetness in our lives.
Lemons to Lemonade
It's what we do with the life's bummers, how we look at setbacks, what we make of the lemons that counts. And in this lighthearted, spirited book, Addie Johnson invites us to make a myriad of different things from those metaphorical lemons. When you're stuck in a difficult time you can change your outlook and your circumstances, you can stay healthy and surround yourself with love, you can seek out and find the hidden treasure to all around you in everyday things, and, perhaps most important, you can figure out how to be grateful for anything and everything that comes your way. You never know, maybe all it will take is a little water, sugar and ice before you're feeling much better.

Attention
Attention: Theory and Practice provides a balance between a readable overview of attention and an emphasis on how theories and paradigms for the study of attention have developed. The book highlights the important issues and major findings while giving sufficient details of experimental studies, models, and theories so that results and conclusions are easy to follow and evaluate. Rather than brushing over tricky technical details, the authors explain them clearly, giving readers the benefit of understanding the motivation for and techniques of the experiments in order to allow readers to think through results, models, and theories for themselves. Attention is an accessible text for advanced undergraduate and graduate students in psychology, as well as an important resource for researchers and practitioners interested in gaining an overview of the field of attention.
African American Entertainers in Australia and New Zealand
Eleven African Americans, including a musician, were among the First Fleet of colonial settlers to Australia. In the 150-plus following years, African Americans visiting the region included jubilee singers, vaudevillians, sports stars and general entertainers. This book provides the only comprehensive history of more than 350 African American entertainers in Australia and New Zealand between European settlement in Australia in 1788 and the entry of the United States into World War II in 1941. Famous names covered include boxer Jack Johnson, film star Nina Mae McKinney and jazz singer Eva Taylor. Background stories provide a multidimensional view of the entertainers' time in a place very far from home.
