        Rabbit Behaviour, Health and Care

        by Marit Emilie Buseth, Richard Saunders

        This book is an essential, thorough, very practical guide to understanding and caring for your rabbit. By following the advice in this book, both rabbit owners and veterinary health professionals report healthier and more content rabbits. Developed from the successful Norwegian text Den Store Kaninboka by the award-winning author Marit Emilie Buseth, Rabbit Behaviour, Health and Care will help you: - develop an understanding of the rabbit's nature, which will help you to spot normal and abnormal behaviour; - learn about the correct living conditions in which to keep domestic rabbits, in terms of their behavioural, physical and social needs; - acquire essential knowledge about rabbit nutrition, dentistry and disease; - discover a new and improved approach to rabbit-keeping through stories and case examples of real rabbits; - gain a rewarding owner-pet relationship. Rabbits are extremely popular pets, but misconceptions about their care and behaviour are widespread. Most illnesses or behaviour problems are a direct or indirect result of poor nutrition and care. This book helps veterinarians and rabbit owners to overcome these challenges by understanding the rabbit's nature and needs.

        Going Under

        by Sonia Henry

        An Australian best-seller, Going Under is a unique insight into the brutal world of medical training. It is darkly funny, sad, inspiring and (perhaps unexpectedly) sexy.   Dr. Katarina (Kitty) Holliday thought that once she finished medical school and found gainful employment at one of Sydney’s best teaching hospitals that her dream was just beginning. The hard years, she thought, were finally over.   But Kitty is in for a rude shock. In between trying to survive on the ward, in the operating theatre and in the emergency department without killing any of her patients or wanting to kill herself, Kitty finds herself facing situations that rock her very understanding of the vocation she has devoted her life to.   Going Under is a rare window into the world of a junior female medico that takes a good hard look at what being a doctor is really about and the unexpectedly separate worlds of clinical medicine and humanity. It explores the big themes – life, death, power and love through the eyes of Dr Holliday as she loses her identity and almost her mind in the unique world of the hospital. But it is also here that Kitty finds her own redemption and finally meets herself properly for the first time.

        Learning with Adults

        A Critical Pedagogical Introduction

        by English, L. M.

        Winner! 2013 Cyril O. Houle Award For Outstanding Literature in Adult Education given by the American Association for Adult and Continuing Education (AAACE). “A priceless resource ...The time is ripe for writing a manifesto of adult education as social transformative learning in the twenty-first century and implement all sorts of experiments in adult education that may help transform the world. This book is a robust contribution to such conversation.”-- International Journal of Lifelong Education (Issue 32(6)) “A quite interesting book, written by two well-known authors, who have been publishing together in recent years, while carrying on their professional activities in different continents … English and Mayo remind us what education and educators should strive for. In a way, they propose a manifesto for education, leading us to question the ways in which the world is and to imagine how it could and should be … this work presents a writing style that is most accessible to a wide range of readers, thus contributing, in some way, to restore the hope in “a better world” as a result of the transformative capacity of adult education. Undoubtedly, it is a fundamental book on the analytical, critical and emancipatory perspectives over the adult education. This is a book to read, to reflect and, perhaps, to inspire us to act.” -- European Journal for Research on the Education and Learning of Adults, Vol 5, No 1, 2014 "This book is written at a time when our own field of adult education is under assault from a variety of capitalist and neoconservative forces pressuring us... to turn away from the causes of criticality, lifelong learning, and education for freedom. Rather than succumb to these pressures, we have hope that our long term goals of education for life and living can and will be accomplished alongside professional and vocational education. It offers new insight into what is a very dark moment of our human civilization." -- From the preface by Dr Carlos Alberto Torres, Professor, GSEIS, Director, Paulo Freire Institute, University of California at Los Angeles "The book offers decidedly critical and international perspectives on various aspects of adult education, especially on state, citizenship and neoliberal policies. Critical in both content and method, it is at the same time the part of the collective work needed to advance the Belém call to action by furthering awareness and capacity in the field of adult education." -- Dr Katarina Popovic, Professor,Universität Duisburg-Essen, University of Belgrade & DBB International "In the midst of diminishing resources and growing inequalities, English and Mayo provide an incisive and much needed critique of adult education in ways that highlight not only its historical and philosophical roots but also its major significance to the practice of democracy. In a direct challenge to the neoliberal accountability craze, Learning with Adults offers a rigorous political reading of the field—one that systematically challenges oppressive educational policies and practices, while affirming an emancipatory vision of civic engagement. Truly an informative treatise that sheds new light on the education of adults." Dr Antonia Darder, Professor & Leavey Presidential Endowed Chair in Education Loyola Marymount University Los Angeles "Leona English and Peter Mayo challenge hegemonic assumptions and ideas, while offering a constructive alternative based on the principle of working with learners and not just for them. Their analysis is accessible enough for newcomers to the field, while the authors’ wide-ranging coverage and radical approach provide refreshing and challenging messages for the most experienced adult educator. Up-to-date, genuinely international and passionately committed, Learning with Adults is a great book." - Dr John Field, Professor, University of Stirling Cover design by Annemarie Mayo

        by Michelle Barker

        The arrival of the Soviet Army in Germany at the end of World War II sends sixteen-year-old Katja and her family into turmoil. The fighting has stopped, but German society is in collapse, resulting in tremendous hardship. With their father gone and few resources available to them, Katja and her sister are forced to flee their home, reassured by their mother that if they can just reach a distant friend in a town far away, things will get better. But their harrowing journey brings danger and violence, and Katja needs to summon all her strength to build a new life, just as she’s questioning everything she thought she knew about her country. Katja’s bravery and defiance help her deal with the emotional and societal upheaval.   But how can she stay true to herself and protect the people she loves when each decision has such far-reaching consequences? Acclaimed writerMichelle Barker’s new novel explores the chaos and destruction of the Second World War from a perspective rarely examined in YA fiction—the implications of the Soviet occupation on a German population grappling with the horrors of Nazism and its aftermath.
