In her first two books, Sheila Davis classified the major song forms and enduring principles that have been honored for decades by America's foremost songwriters. Those books have become required reading in music courses from NYU to UCLA. In The Songwriters Idea Book, Davis goes one step further, giving you 40 strategies for designing distinctive songs. You'll break new ground in your own songwriting by learning about the inherent relationship between language style, personality type and the brain. • You'll go, step by step, through the creative process as you activate, incubate, separate and discriminate. • You'll learn to use the whole-brain techniques of imaging, brainstorming and clustering. • You'll expand your skilled use of figurative language with paragrams, metonyms, synecdoche and antonomasia. • You'll be challenged to design metaphors, form symbols, make puns and coin words. • And, you'll learn how to prevent writer's block, increase your productivity and maintain your creative flow. Over 100 successful student lyrics from pop, country, cabaret, and theater serve as role-models to illustrate the "whole-brain" songwriting process.

This is the first book on the market or within academia dedicated solely to moral distress among health professionals. It aims to bring conceptual clarity about moral distress and distinguish it from related concepts. Explicit attention is given to the voices and experiences of health care professionals from multiple disciplines and many parts of the world.

Jack Stiles played the horses the way he played his women, and the women supported his habit. He often bragged that he'd never worked for more than a few weeks at a time. After deserting the Marines and heading for Canada he took on the persona of a poet where he learned that women were more than willing to provide support to a talented, struggling artist. It was in Canada that he began his lifelong challenge to use and abuse as many women as possible in his attempt to live life to the fullest. All of Jack's victims were smart, capable women. His final victim, Dr. Diedre Warren, was a successful psychologist. Jack stole her heart, her money, and nearly her life.
