Against All Reason
Child psychologist Thelma Vestrey inherits a number of seriously disturbed teenage patients when she takes up a new post in Paradise Bay, California. The most difficult of these, Richard Delacroix - rich, spoilt, aggressively anti- social - seems to be beyond her help. It is not until Richard's mother, Aurelia, begs Thelma to help protect her son from his own father that she begins to suspect that the boy may be in great danger. There is something terribly wrong in his family. Thelma's worst fears seem to be confirmed when Aurelia's body is found. It looks like suicide; Thelma knows that it could be murder. Joining forces with FBI agent Daniel Kozgrow, she finds herself caught up in a case far beyond her experience: a macabre and hideously dangerous journey through the grim recesses of an extraordinary family history.

Coastal Dynamics and Landforms
This is a comprehensive reference text for senior undergraduates, graduate students, and instructors and working professionals in the coastal field. It provides a thorough survey of our present state of geomorphological knowledge across a very broad spectrum of coastal types, including topics, such as the form and processes operating on cold coasts, deltas, cohesive cold coasts, and coral reefs, that have rarely been included in general coastal texts. There is also a detailed discussion of the nature, origin, and transport of beach sediment, and the possible effects of future sea-level changes on coastal environments. Anthropological influences and managerial implications are discussed in several of the chapters. All the material draws upon up-to-date research and scientific findings.
Doing Something Different
Many books on solution-focused brief therapy provide histories, overviews, and uses of the approach. Doing Something Different does not do any of those things. Instead, it provides those interested in the solution-focused approach with a plethora of ideas for practice, training, and simply enjoying the solution-focused approach and its practice in therapy, consulting, coaching, and training. It contains a varied and rich array of interventions, training ideas, uses with different populations and approaches, and resources written by contributors who represent many countries and viewpoints, and who are well known in the training and practice of the solution-focused approach. Chapters are presented in simple language, as befits the solution-focused approach, and complement the many serious and whimsical sections of the book, which include practice and training ideas, favorite quotes and stories, “outrageous” moments in therapy, and a list of solution-focused songs.
