The Last Five Minutes of a Storm
PRAISE FOR THE LAST FIVE MINUTES OF A STORM: "Filled with moment after moment of wonder, drama, intrigue, and grace. The stories are perfectly chosen; realism and fantasy, the quotidian and the singular clashing and complementing and ultimately comprising the most satisfying of experiences... works of extraordinary beauty." – Donal Ryan, award-winning, twice Booker-longlisted author of Strange Flowers. "A stunning collection of writings, full of beauty, power and skill, and the new truths we need to be reading." – Joseph O'Connor, bestselling author of 2019 Irish Novel of the Year Shadowplay. In this collection, 15 writers explore what it means to be at the climatic point of a crisis, with salvation just in sight – but not quite there yet! Expect stories of defiance, grief, connection, magic and, of course, a dash of strangeness. With stories by Chris Bogle, Mei Davis, Aoife Esmonde, Kasandra Ferguson, Helena Pantsis, Sandy Parsons, Jamie Perrault, Daniel Ray, Samuel Skuse, Courtney Smyth, Tessa Swackhammer, Liz Ulin, Brigitte de Valk, Holden Wertheimer-Meier and Liza Wieland.

Choreutics
'Choreutics' can be said to contain the essence of Laban's thought as well as an elaboration of the framework which he found useful for the penetration of the bewildering complexity of human movement. This he based on the unity of space and movement and he recognised a natural order in which the energy from within unfolds in space.

From Neurons to Neighborhoods
How we raise young children is one of today's most highly personalized and sharply politicized issues, in part because each of us can claim some level of "expertise." The debate has intensified as discoveries about our development-in the womb and in the first months and years-have reached the popular media. How can we use our burgeoning knowledge to assure the well-being of all young children, for their own sake as well as for the sake of our nation? Drawing from new findings, this book presents important conclusions about nature-versus-nurture, the impact of being born into a working family, the effect of politics on programs for children, the costs and benefits of intervention, and other issues. The committee issues a series of challenges to decision makers regarding the quality of child care, issues of racial and ethnic diversity, the integration of children's cognitive and emotional development, and more. Authoritative yet accessible, From Neurons to Neighborhoods presents the evidence about "brain wiring" and how kids learn to speak, think, and regulate their behavior. It examines the effect of the climate-family, child care, community-within which the child grows.
