Download or read book Thursday s Group written by Henry Webb and published by Xlibris Corporation. This book was released on 2008-05-01 with total page 120 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: About Thursday's Group: A Review Thursday's Group: A Review is an anthology by writers who meet weekly under the auspices of the Sarah Lawrence College Writing Institute. It is unique for several reasons, starting with its origins. This book began because the authors, who have been meeting on Thursdays for a number of years to read and review each other's work, decided to take the next step by publishing selections of that work. Other writing groups will want to take note of the results. No lens can focus an author's editorial eye like preparing for publication. Writers who may not be ready to publish a book might still have stories, shorts or excerpts that they wish to see in print. The variety of voices, terse and loquacious, humorous and wrenching, and the different genres, stories, memoirs and commentary, give the book a range of reading pleasures. Also, there is a mix of subject matter to constantly surprise and entertain; for example: A young girl must cope with the hazards of a dysfunctional family. She realizes that to be fully at home in the world, she must solve the mystery that lurks beneath her parents' passionate conflicts. In an only-in-New York adventure, we take a wild ride across the George Washington Bridge. From there we move to a quietly valiant moment in the life of a cancer survivor. We are given a wry and witty commentary on change, then dash for a train in one of those improbable occasions when all you can do is whoop for joy. A nurse falls in love with one of her patients, an amnesiac. Who is she in love with? ... her patient? her dream? his dreams? An expert equestrian tells us what it's like to spend a lifetime living and working among horses and those devoted to their care. She lets us see how it feels to own a farm an hour north of Manhattan and to move between the parallel worlds of that frenetic city and rural Bedford. Suddenly, without warning, a young mother finds herself violated and with that the world she has built for herself threatens to come crashing down around her. What can she do, what must she do, to preserve everything she has always wanted? This is Thursday's Group: A Review.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Spaces that have been designed to allow users to create, build, and learn new projects and technologies, makerspaces employ a variety of tools such as 3-D printers, AutoCAD design software, and even open-source hardware like Arduino Kits. Developing a community around shared use of space and equipment, a tenet of the makerspace movement, fits squarely into libraries’ mission. Bagley examines nine makerspaces in public, academic, and school libraries, describing their design and technical decisions in depth and showing how each is doing something unique and different, under a wide range of budgets and project offerings. Enabling readers to quickly gather information about these trailblazing projects, Bagley’s guide Defines the makerspace, and describes why it fits perfectly into the library’s role as community center Answers common questions about implementing a makerspace project, detailing how libraries are addressing issues such as registration, usage policy, noise, software programs in digital workspaces, adapting spaces, funding, and promotion Illustrates approaches libraries are taking to staffing makerspaces, from Anchorage Public Library’s Maker in Residence and Mesa Public Library's THINKspot coordinator, to the library school students involved with University of Michigan and University of Illinois makerspace projects Covers the demographics of makerspace users, from children and teens to hobbyists and job seekers, offering guidance for targeting, marketing, and programming A sourcebook of ideas that readers can apply at their own institutions, this resource also demonstrates how makerspaces can be gathering places for people to learn how to create and build together as a community.

Download or read book International Handbook of Cognitive and Behavioural Treatments for Psychological Disorders written by V.E. Caballo and published by Elsevier. This book was released on 1998-11-27 with total page 713 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This handbook shows the wide perspective cognitive-behavioural treatment can offer to health professionals, the vast majority of whom now recognize that cognitive behavioural procedures are very useful in treating many 'mental' disorders, even if certain disciplines continue to favour other kinds of treatment. This book offers a wide range of structured programmes for the treatment of various psychological/psychiatric disorders as classified by the DSM-IV. The layout will be familiar to the majority of health professionals in the description of mental disorders and their later treatment. It is divided into seven sections, covering anxiety disorders, sexual disorders, dissociative, somatoform, impulse control disorders, emotional disorders and psychotic and organic disorders. Throughout the twenty-three chapters, this book offers the health professional a structured guide with which to start tackling a whole series of 'mental' disorders and offers pointers as to where to find more detailed information. The programmes outlined should, it is hoped, prove more effective than previous approaches with lower economic costs and time investment for the patient and therapist.
