Supernova
Eleanor, a young astronomer in a small observatory in outback Australia, witnesses a nearby star going supernova. Seeking confirmation of her observation, she contacts the renowned Professor Penrose of the Mount Wilson Observatory in California. Despite being skeptical at first, he soon realizes that the supernova has set off a shockwave of radiation and high energy particles, which will strike the Earth in a matter of hours. He quickly warns the President, who, along with his Vice President Lynda and other foreign governments, take whatever precautions they can. After the shockwave has passed and the recovery phase begins, it becomes clear that the danger is still not over, as the death toll continues to rise unexplainably. A frantic race against time begins, as Edinburgh-based Sandra and other researchers worldwide try to uncover the mysterious cause of the deaths, and to find a cure, before it is too late. But what happens if they can’t? Supernova is the debut novel by Dee Amos which sets up a fascinating “what if?” scenario by combining a fast-paced disaster-based story with strong female characters and some of today’s hottest social, political and environmental issues.

Collaborative Brief Therapy with Children
In this engaging guide, Matthew Selekman presents cutting-edge strategies for helping children and their families overcome a wide range of emotional and behavioral challenges. Vivid case material illustrates how to engage clients rapidly and implement interventions that elicit their strengths. Integrating concepts and tools from a variety of therapeutic traditions, Selekman describes creative applications of interviewing, family art and play, postmodern and narrative techniques, and positive psychology. He highlights ways to promote spontaneity, fun, and new possibilities—especially with clients who feel stuck in longstanding difficulties and entrenched patterns of interaction. The book updates and refines the approach originally presented in Selekman's acclaimed Solution-Focused Therapy with Children.
Stephen Turner Tree Rings
Stephen Turner is an artist deeply interested in finding new ways of seeing the landscape. This fully illustrated catalogue has been published to coincide with his exhibition Tree Rings. The new body of work emerged from Turner's residency in King's Wood, Challock, Kent, during a one year cycle from October 2001 to September 2002. It was commissioned by Stour Valley Arts (SVA) as part of its international artistic programme. As with his previous projects, Turner has used canvases to record marks made by the surrounding environment in a continuing dialogue with nature. Placed around particular trees in the forest, the canvases were left to the action of nature. They provide a physical record of each individual tree's unique ecology and symbolise cycles of growth, decay and rejuvenation. The Tree Rings drawings were made from the colours produced from the bark, leaves, acorns and berries of the trees. Features essay by Jeremy Theophilus, diary notes by Stephen Turner and natural history notes by Martin Hall.

The Artful Storybook
"Once upon a time… storybooks held a special place in our lives, filling our hearts with wonder. Thanks to this extraordinary crafting anthology we can experience that magic again in a marvelous new way by recreating and reinterpreting the picture book. An overview outlines a variety of structures and techniques, from simple collage to gluing. But above all, these highly visual pages offer ideas and inspiration, with talented artists presenting lovingly designed story spreads and covers. Take a fantasy vacation via a travel booklet fashioned from vintage, nostalgic postcards. Follow The Queen of Tarts in a story that unfolds in a miniature puppet theater motif. And two different artists offer their revised versions of a classic: The Princess and the Pea"--
Discourse and Technology
The overarching theme of Discourse and Technology is cutting-edge in the field of linguistics: multimodal discourse. This volume opens up a discussion among discourse analysts and others in linguistics and related fields about the two-fold impact of new communication technologies: The impact on how discourse data is collected, transcribed, and analyzed—and the impact that these technologies are having on social interaction and discourse. As inexpensive tape recorders allowed the field to move beyond text, written or printed language, to capture talk—discourse as spoken language—the information explosion (including cell phones, video recorders, Internet chat rooms, online journals, and ...
