Joyful Resilience as Educational Practice
Teaching is hard work. Teaching is rewarding work. An abundance of research on teachers’ mental health, teacher burnout, and attrition in the profession has proven the truth of the first claim. And, without reading a word of academic research, teachers know the truth of the second: there are numerous challenges and complexities involved in this noble profession. Teachers also know the truth of our second claim—that teaching is immensely rewarding work. The editors and authors of Joyful Resilience as Educational Practice: Transforming Teaching Challenges into Opportunities argue that the reciprocities of teaching keep them and countless other teachers in the profession. While teaching is ...

A Night at Tears of Crimson
Cara Donovan found the Tears of Crimson vampire club by chance but her entire destiny would be found in one night there. The streets of New Orleans called to her soul and she left her small home town in Alabama to follow her dreams. She had always done the right thing and lived her life to the demanding morals she had been raised to believe but one meeting with the mysterious owner of the club would change everything.

As he fights against his own temptation she is compelled by the lure of his vampire nature and her first taste of desire. There was no middle ground, to have him she would have to surrender her soul and walk into a world that defied all logical explanation. To take her he would destroy everything she believed and leave her damned for an eternity. Eternal love and eternal damnation, surrender to the endless nights at Tears of Crimson.

Maternal Abandonment and Queer Resistance in Twenty-First-Century Swedish Literature
This book questions why so many mothers leave their families in twenty-first-century Swedish literature, analyzing literary representations of maternal abandonment in relation to sociopolitical discourses. The volume draws on a queer-theoretical framework in order to highlight norm-critical dimensions, failure, and resistance in literature about motherhood. Jenny Björklund argues that novels about mothers who leave can be understood as ways to problematize and challenge Swedish-branded values like gender equality and a progressive family politics that promotes ideals of involved parenthood, the nuclear family, and pronatalism. The book also raises questions beyond the Swedish context about maternal ambivalence, family politics, and privilege and discusses how literature can work as resistance and provide alternatives to the current social order.
Prescribing Skills Workbook
Prescribing medications safely is a cornerstone of clinical practice but students receive little or no teaching in the practicalities of prescribing. Instead they are often left to learn on the ward, which inevitably leaves gaps in their knowledge. Unsurprisingly, prescribing errors among junior doctors are common and can cause significant harm to patients. This is a cause for concern with the GMC, and a potential solution - in the form of a national exam - has been proposed. Prescribing Skills Workbook is designed to help students and junior doctors bridge the gap between understanding the science of pharmacology and accurately writing a prescription on a patient's drug chart. The workbook ...
