With its enticing and colourful design and its fascinating information, this is a book that children will want to pour over-either at home, in the classroom or on a road trip. This book brings together 55 national parks, selected across all Australian states and territories, and over 120 animals. It is divided into seven sections according to habitat (woodlands and grasslands; forests; rainforests; arid zones; mountains; wetlands and waterways; coasts, oceans and islands), each including a number of national parks and a selection of the fish, reptiles, frogs, birds and mammals that inhabit them. At the end of the book is a section on ''little critters''-beetles, spiders, butterflies, grasshoppers, bugs and so on. Each habitat section opens with photographs of the featured national parks and a description of the habitat. Each animal has its own page, which has a stunning colour photograph of the species, a map of its distribution range, its conservation status and scientific information about the species. The information is divided into the following sections: ''Fast Facts'' gives you all the vital statistics, such as size, lifespan and number of young; ''Where Does It Live?'' tells you where in Australia you can find the species and provides details about its home; ''What''s Its Life Like?'' tells you a bit about how the animal moves, behaves, eats and has young; and ''Interesting Info'' has quirky and fascinating facts. This book features a foreword by the Governor-General of Australia, Sir Peter Cosgrove.

Beginning in the 1930s and moving into the post millennium, Newton provides a historical analysis of policies invoked, and practices undertaken as the Service attempted to assist white Britons in understanding the impact of African-Caribbeans, and their assimilation into constructs of Britishness. Management soon approved talks and scientific studies as a means of examining racial tensions, as ITV challenged the discourses of British broadcasting. Soon, BBC2 began broadcasting; and more issues of race appeared on the screens, each reflecting sometimes comedic, somewhat dystopic, often problematic circumstances of integration. In the years that followed however, social tensions such as the Nottingham and Notting Hill riots led to transmissions that included a series of news specials on Britain’s Colour Bar, and docudramas such as A Man From the Sun that attempted to frame the immigrant experience for British television audiences, but from the African-Caribbean point of view. Subsequent chapters include an extensive analysis of television programming, along with personal interviews. Topics include current representations of race, the future of British television, and its impact upon multiethnic audiences. Also detailed are the efforts of black Britons working within the British media as employees of the BBC, writers, producers and actors.

Age range 6 to 9 Have you ever seen a fish that could do a handstand? This is the story of a quirky and primitive little fish that is famous for two things: walking on its ''hands'' (pectoral fins), and being the first marine fish anywhere in the word to be listed on the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species. The Spotted Handfish has survived since the time of the dinosaurs -- until now. Invasive sea stars, pollution and climate change mean that this unique Australian is in real trouble -- raise your hand if you want to know more! Hold On! Saving the Spotted Handfish is perfect for primary aged readers.

Știm foarte multe despre teoriile lui Freud din seria de opere publicată de Editura Trei. Știm, de asemenea, multe despre omul Freud din biografiile sale scrise de Peter Gay și Elisabeth Roudinesco, publicate tot de Editura Trei. Știm însă mult mai puțin despre modul în care lucra Freud ca terapeut. Cele cinci cazuri celebre (Dora, Micul Hans, Omul cu șobolani, Omul cu lupi, Președintele Schreber), incluse în seria de opere, se concentrează asupra psihopatologiei nevrotice sau psihotice și deloc asupra tehnicii. Singura fereastră spre modul de lucru al lui Freud este jurnalul, rămas mult timp inedit, al cazului Omul cu șobolani (1909). Tocmai la întrebarea cum lucra Freud răspunde volumul de față, care descrie și comentează alte cinci cazuri din perioada de maturitate a lui Freud (A. Kardiner, H. Doolittle, J. Wortis, J. Dorsey, S. Blanton), pe baza mărturiilor publicate de analizanți. În loc de a întâlni un terapeut „ecran alb", „receptor telefonic" sau „chirurg", cum cerea Freud în teorie, facem cunoștință cu un psihanalist uman, și pe deplin relațional. Comentariile autorilor încearcă și reușesc să explice contradicția marcată între teorie și clinica lui Freud, precum și efectele acestei contradicții asupra dezvoltării ulterioare a psihanalizei. A fost Freud un „freudian"? Dacă „freudian" înseamnă un interpret neimplicat, neutru, al transferului și al rezistenței, răspunsul, conform acestei noi cărți fascinante, este nu, nu a fost. Pornind de la niște relatări complete ale pacienților care au fost tratați de Freud în anii 1920 și ’30, acest volum ne arată un Freud surprinzător – unul foarte diferit de stereotipul curent. Prezentate pentru prima dată împreună, aceste biografii vii, intime, ale procesului analitic oferă un prim-plan revelator asupra lui Sigmund Freud la lucru. Prin cuvintele propriilor săi pacienți, cititorului i se înfățișează un clinician organizat, persistent, implicat personal și expresiv, care punea tratamentul în mișcare bazându-se pe asociații libere și nu pe analiza transferului și a rezistenței. – Autorii
