In Bringing Heart and Mind into Storytime, Heather McNeil teaches librarians and teachers how to use books to open conversations with children to teach such concepts as patience, tenacity, kindness, and teamwork. McNeil shares research on brain development, social-emotional learning, and the importance of play, but she also emphasizes maintaining the fun of storytime. She recommends songs, action rhymes, games, and crafts that contribute to fun and healthy storytimes. Extensive lists of recommended books will help readers find the right ones for their audience.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The year is 2012. Earth has fallen into a new calamity. Waves of monsters have risen to ravage the great cities. Humanity is mutating to become ogres, their basic instincts overridden for a singular cause: to conquer the world. The familiar sense has returned. This is not what is supposed to happen. Our history books do not record such an event occurring, yet it is. The war is seemingly hopeless as the ogres are unstoppable. But there is hope. Rumors persist of mythical creatures, monsters that fight for the human cause. They appear and disappear at random, capable of decimating the ogre ranks. Yet, in the enemy armies, there are the whispers of a singular leader who rules them all, perhaps the one responsible for starting all of it. A lone human woman fights for her people as Paris burns. It will be up to her and the mythics to solve the mysteries that lie from where the mutagen occurred and perhaps save humanity from annihilation….. Tales of Heroes is a fantasy and historical story woven into one, consisting of several stories in one book. It is a book of love, drama, action, and sex between those that are human and anthro-alike. Helsing and the Tales of Heroes continues after the events of Ayida-Weddo and the Tales of Heroes. https://www.gabatrix.net (Main Website) https://www.patreon.com/TheUniverseofCMed https://gofund.me/44b20522 (Gofundme Audiobook Project)

Download or read book Mount Misery written by Samuel Shem and published by Ballantine Books. This book was released on 2012-02-29 with total page 578 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From the Laws of Mount Misery: There are no laws in psychiatry. Now, from the author of the riotous, moving, bestselling classic, The House of God, comes a lacerating and brilliant novel of doctors and patients in a psychiatric hospital. Mount Misery is a prestigious facility set in the rolling green hills of New England, its country club atmosphere maintained by generous corporate contributions. Dr. Roy Basch (hero of The House of God) is lucky enough to train there *only to discover doctors caught up in the circus of competing psychiatric theories, and patients who are often there for one main reason: they've got good insurance. From the Laws of Mount Misery: Your colleagues will hurt you more than your patients. On rounds at Mount Misery, it's not always easy for Basch to tell the patients from the doctors: Errol Cabot, the drug cowboy whose practice provides him with guinea pigs for his imaginative prescription cocktails . . . Blair Heiler, the world expert on borderlines (a diagnosis that applies to just about everybody) . . . A. K. Lowell, née Aliyah K. Lowenschteiner, whose Freudian analytic technique is so razor sharp it prohibits her from actually speaking to patients . . . And Schlomo Dove, the loony, outlandish shrink accused of having sex with a beautiful, well-to-do female patient. From the Laws of Mount Misery: Psychiatrists specialize in their defects. For Basch the practice of psychiatry soon becomes a nightmare in which psychiatrists compete with one another to find the best ways to reduce human beings to blubbering drug-addled pods, or incite them to an extreme where excessive rage is the only rational response, or tie them up in Freudian knots. And all the while, the doctors seem less interested in their patients' mental health than in a host of other things *managed care insurance money, drug company research grants and kickbacks, and their own professional advancement. From the Laws of Mount Misery: In psychiatry, first comes treatment, then comes diagnosis. What The House of God did for doctoring the body, Mount Misery does for doctoring the mind. A practicing psychiatrist, Samuel Shem brings vivid authenticity and extraordinary storytelling gifts to this long-awaited sequel, to create a novel that is laugh-out-loud hilarious, terrifying, and provocative. Filled with biting irony and a wonderful sense of the absurd, Mount Misery tells you everything you'll never learn in therapy. And it's a hell of a lot funnier.
