        For Veterinary Nurses and Technicians

        by Kathy Istace

        Periodontal disease is one of the most common diseases observed by small animal practitioners, and it is not uncommon for the veterinary technician to be the first line in oral health assessment and treatment. Despite this, current dentistry training for veterinary technicians and nurses is often very limited. This book explains the causes, consequences, prevention and treatment of pet dental diseases including periodontal disease, fractured teeth, tooth resorption, dental malocclusions, oral masses, jaw fractures, and other oral conditions. It covers: · Instruction in essential skills such as dental cleaning, charting, radiography, and equipment maintenance. · Advanced skills such as the administration of regional nerve blocks and periodontal treatments. · The aetiology and treatment of common oral conditions. Improving competence in veterinary dental skills benefits technicians, veterinary practices, owners and their pets. Explaining pet dental diseases in a relatable way, this book allows veterinary staff to relay important dental information to pet owners in a way they understand. Providing solutions to help prevent and manage pet dental diseases, it outlines treatment options, outcomes, and post-operative dental care.

        Picture Books about Emotion Management for Girls

        by Le Fan, Liu Chanjuan, Liu Jiaxi

        While growing up, girls are more likely than boys to receive contradictory expectations from different aspects of their lives: parents, teachers, peers, society, and themselves. They could be rebellious but at the same time remain "good girls". They could express anger against bullies at school while simultaneously meeting teachers' expectations of nonaggressive behavior. They could be powerful and competitive at the same time that they worry about being considered "unfeminine". Girls struggle with these conflicting messages in their everyday lives, trying to please all these other people and losing track of themselves. Writer Le Fan, who has experienced the same contradictions as growing up, hopes that girls could love themselves, put themselves first a little more. So here comes the Picture Books about Emotion Management for Girls.   The series contains five stories of five courageous little girls who were experiencing confusion in their lives. Little Le Fan in I am not Just a Good Girl tried to find the balance between two sides of herself—a cool girl and a good girl. Xiaoxiao in I love myself learned to be more confident and accepted her new look after her baby teeth fell out. Jiang in I'm so Jealous learned to deal with jealousy towards her best friend. A timid girl Xiao in I can Say No strived to express herself and stop the little boy's bullies. Feng in I Really Want to Win embraced her inner "tomboy" with daddy's encouragement. All the five little girls, though struggling, broke out of cultural and societal stereotypes swirling around them and became their true selves.

A travers les yeux et les histoires de chacun, une froide intrigue se déroule à différentes périodes, en Israël et hors de ce pays.   Mais quelle en est l'histoire ? Celle d'une héroïne israélienne, un agent secret sous couverture diplomatique dont la vie balance entre une « opération confidentielle » et une autre, prête à toute mission, toujours « au nom de », toujours pour la cause ? Ou bien est-ce celle de la femme, celle qui a donné la vie, celle qui vit dans l'ombre de ses hommes : père, mari, fils, amis, amants ?   Le jour de la commémoration de la mort de son fils Uri, un pilote de chasse qui perdit la vie dans l'une des nombreuses batailles d'Israël, Marit, restée seule après le départ des invités, dresse l'inventaire de sa vie et des siens : Hanoch, son mari officier dans les renseignements, incapable de faire face à la disparition de son fils, qui l'a quittée ; et Uri, son fils décédé, qui fut allongé et ligoté sur l'autel du sacrifice, comme les pères israéliens, inspirés par le sens de la mission et de l'héroïsme, sacrifient leurs fils pour leur terre.   A travers les expériences personnelles de Marit avec la mort et l'affliction et à travers la rencontre collective, elle transmet une réalité israélienne noire, héroïque de l'amour et de la mort – Eros et Thanatos.   C'est l'histoire de l'amour : l'amour passionné entre un homme et une femme ; l'amour d'un pays pour lequel on meurt ; l'amour affectueux des parents pour leur fils, qui entraîne sa mort – et la leur aussi. C'est aussi l'histoire de la mort, et de l'échec d'un amour désespéré. Psychologue et conférencière universitaire, Hadassa Ashdot née à Tel-Aviv a grandi à Jérusalem. Ses histoires courtes ont été éditées dans deux grands magazines littéraires israéliens, Moznayim et Prosa. L'auteur a publié deux romans (en hébreu) : Identité Empruntée et Marianne de la Neige.
