Have you ever wondered how the behaviours you see in the classroom, around the school and all around you are influenced and happen the way they do? To know behaviour, you have to know the mind. And to know how to influence the mind, you have to know what language can do to the mind, what effects it can have and how you can influence those behaviours with just the words you use. We are always in an emotional state, or mixed states, which can be influenced by the communications we receive. Once you understand the power of the language you use and how you can structure your communication to produce the responses you want, you will be amazed at what you can accomplish. This book will teach you how to control behaviour with just the words you use.The content of this book has been put together from over twenty five years of experience and work and research in schools and specialist behaviour schools across the UK.

''From the Fortunate Isles'' by the Welsh poet Tony Curtis marks a milestone year, the 70th anniversary of his birth, and celebrates the career of an author who has won numerous prizes for his poetry.

"Curtis''s humour and charm, ability to turn a poem with the seemingly simplest of images, and that understanding of how words will play over the listener''s ear, are hallmarks brought to the fore on the page... His greatest skill is to make readers go ''yes, of course''; he reminds us of what we''ve known all along." Michael McKimm, The Warwick Review

This book celebrates the landscape and people of Wales through poems and photographs. It shows us how water transforms the land, feeds our eyes and illuminates our lives. ''Water us so ubiquitous in our landscape and our legends, in our weather and our words, that there is a danger that we fail to appreciate something which is so essential, so inevitable, so vital'' (Grahame Davies).

I would like to introduce you to UNREST, Book One of Descendants of the Ebony Path, a tale of the 12 Risen. It is a tale of a world long since destroyed by technology, where the final gift of knowledge is the magic of genetic enhancement, and gifted men and women are are called the Anointed who stand as vanguards of free nations and champions of empires. It is the tale of the Al-Kraal Empire. A expanding regime built by a repudiated scholar turned conqueror, whose ambitions are as brilliant as they are appalling. It is the tale of the remarkable women of Venters Hall, where mastery of the female matrix has given women power to beggar the gods. It is the tale of the 12 Risen. Twelve young men, some born in, others condemned to, a life of slavery. Twelve men whose rebellion reshaped a broken world. Lastly, it is the tale of the Ebony Path, a rent in the fabric of the universe created by an ancient clash of powers. A place where roads lead to the very heart of creation and worlds known and unknown. A place where any who descend can find themselves subject to possession by merciless beings with angelic countenances. Book One takes place nineteen years after the rebellion.

She was breathtakingly voluptuous in a see-through blouse that revealed her bra ... I said to this beautiful girl, "My name is Tony." "My name is Marilyn," she said.'' Tony Curtis, one of the great Hollywood heartthrobs, was friends with the likes of Frank Sinatra, Cary Grant and James Dean. He romanced a string of screen sirens including Janet Leigh, Natalie Wood, and of course, Marilyn Monroe. Here, Curtis shares his stories of some of those legendary seductions. This digital bite has been extracted from Tony Curtis''s autobiography American Prince.

Tony Curtis''s new collection grows out of his fascination with the everyday, the quirky, the downright extraordinary. These are poems wrapped up in love and death, friendship and memory, madness and music - with folk at the heart of every one of them. He has a wonderful ability to express great depth of feeling with deceptive simplicity.

"- Vous avez vu cette fille? - Ouais, ai-je répondu. Je l''ai vue. Comment aurait-on pu ne pas la remarquer? Elle était à tomber, avec un chemisier translucide qui laissait entrevoir son soutien-gorge. Tandis qu''elle longeait l''immeuble des scénaristes, des têtes se sont penchées aux fenêtres, dans des positions insensées. Sa beauté donnait l''impression qu''elle était intouchable, mais son sourire laissait entendre le contraire. Nous semblions du même âge, même si j''ai découvert plus tard qu''elle avait une année de moins. Nous étions presque nés le même jour - moi le 3 juin, elle le 1er " Lorsque Tony Curtis croise Marilyn pour la première fois, il a 25 ans. Elle 24. Ce sont deux gosses habités par le même espoir: devenir des stars de cinéma. Huit ans après, réunis par Billy Wilder au sommet de son art, leur rêve s''est réalisé au-delà de leur espérance. Et ils sont sur le point de tourner dans une des comédies les plus populaires du monde. Dans Certains l''aiment chaud et Marilyn, Tony Curtis dévoile les secrets de ce film magique. De la scène où, déguisé en femme, il apprend à marcher sur des talons, à l''écriture du scénario qui s''invente au fur et à mesure du tournage, de la naissance des répliques cultes aux histoires d''amour, les retards de Marilyn et les tensions, les scènes d''anthologie. Il raconte aussi pour la première fois la nature de sa relation très particulière avec la star, mélange de désir et de remords.

He has appeared in over a hundred films. Elvis copied his looks. The Beatles put him on the cover of Sgt. Pepper. Tony Curtis is without question a Hollywood legend and part of its Golden Age. In American Prince he tells the whole story, from his hard-knock childhood growing up in the Bronx to his wild days as a Hollywood playboy, his destructive drug addiction and his life now as an artist in his eighties. He talks frankly about the people he has known during his long and illustrious career, from the studio owners and directors to his famous friends, such as Jack Lemmon, Cary Grant and James Dean, and the women in his life, including Janet Leigh and Natalie Wood.Forthright and enthralling, and sparing no detail and no ego, American Prince is the true record of a life lived to the full.

He speaks frankly about his working relationship with Jack Lemmon and Billy Wilder, as well as his romance with Marilyn Monroe.

MARKETING FOR ENGINEERS, SCIENTISTS AND TECHNOLOGISTS Dr Tony Curtis covers everything that engineers need to know about marketing and project management. The book has been written in an easy to read style with clear learning outcomes and objectives. In my opinion this should be mandatory reading for all engineers who are involved in the design and marketing of products and services. Dr Naren Gupta, Senior Lecturer and Teaching Fellow, Director of Quality, School of Engineering and the Built Environment, Napier University In working with a range of professionals across many industry sectors one often finds it is the technologists and scientists that gain the most out of acquiring skills and knowledge in marketing. Not only does their structured and analytical approach lend itself to strategic marketing but those skills, combined with a clear customer focus and an innovative approach to the market, can give them the portfolio of skills required for successful leadership. Deirdre Makepeace, Senior Examiner, CIM To succeed, products and services must satisfy customers’ needs and wants. Engineers, scientists and technologists need to understand these needs to develop and deliver better products. This book covers consumer products, services, international and business to business marketing, as well as current issues such as green and social marketing and the service extended marketing mix. Tony Curtis also discusses the core management skills needed to implement marketing plans, such as leadership, negotiation and consultancy. Finally, he brings all these elements together into three key areas; new product development, market driven quality and marketing plans. Written by a technologist for technologists, this book is essential reading for engineers and scientists taking a module in business studies or marketing at all levels. It also provides a good foundation in marketing strategy for MBA students with a technical or scientific first degree.
