Necromantic magic, deadly political intrigue, and a reluctant hero torn between his duty to a foreign queen and his desire for revenge . . . Betsy Dornbusch's Exile kept me reading into the wee hours of the night, breathless to find out how Draken's story would end.&#151;Courtney Schafer, author of The Shattered Sigil series.Exile does an excellent job of fashioning a kingdom on the brink of implosion, as political, military, and personal factors place increasing pressure on the fragile peace that is already undermined by double agents and malignant magic. It also provides a unique conglomeration of magic, which is practiced mostly either by the enigmatic Moonlings or a race known as the Mance, who are in turns alluring and disturbing in their methods and manners.&#151;Josh Vogt, Examiner.comAn intriguing world, with its varied people and imperiled gods. The hero maintains his personal integrity even as the pawn of powers of whom he's barely aware, and the plot unfolds with the rapid pacing of a mystery novel.&#151;K. V. Johansen, author of BlackdogFrom the first line ("Cut her throat. His own wife."), readers of Betsy Dornbusch's Exile know they are in for a dramatic and exciting tale. . . .Any reader who joins her for the ride will be glad they did.&#151;Lesley Smith, Electric SpecDraken is an interesting character, and the secondary characters are equally interesting. The plot moves along nicely, and the story is engaging. I enjoyed the setting and found the author's world building commendable.&#151;Lori Macinnes, Lori Reads&#147;Betsy Dornbusch&#8217;s Exile is a nonstop adventure with a fascinating world and some terrific magic.&#8221;&#151;Carol Berg, author of Transformation and The Daemon Prism

"Lean-Driven Innovation illustrates that the application of lean principles and practices entails more than simple cut and paste implementation of factory-floor practices to the complex knowledge work of engineering and innovation. Lean thinking applied to product and process development shares the basic principles of lean operations but goes about actualizing them in very different ways. In sharing the compelling story of applying lean principles to R&D processes in the large, global, complex enterprise that is Goodyear, Norbert Majerus offers a path for improving innovation processes that readers will find practical and applicable regardless of their business type or company size."—John Shook, Chairman and CEO, Lean Enterprise Institute"Lean-Driven Innovation provides a set of guiding principles for how to build an innovative organization that are based on science and hard-won experience. The principles are brought to life by great examples from Goodyear’s impressive lean transformation in R&D. This is a must-read for innovation leaders. Although based on a transformation in R&D, the thinking applies equally well to software development and other project-based knowledge work."—Peter T. Ward, Director, Center for Operational Excellence, The Ohio State University"A candid and well-told story of the process by which a strong and innovative engineering culture incorporated the powerful principles of lean product development."—Don Reinertsen, Author of The Principles of Product Development Flow"Norbert’s work is a particularly impactful effort as it is not purely academic or theoretical, but rather based and vetted upon the years of hard-fought experiences and knowledge gained at Goodyear throughout its lean product development journey. Readers will undoubtedly gain insights into a number of promising continual improvement processes that may be applied at their companies for immediate and positive impact."—Rich Gildersleeve, Chief Technology Officer, DJO LLC
"In Lean-Driven Innovation, Norbert Majerus brings insight and understanding to how Goodyear successfully applied lean principles to its R&D processes, and he offers readers the know-how and encouragement to do the same. The book is especially effective at showing how Goodyear has been able to make its R&D capacity visible and manageable, repetitively surfacing and resolving constraint issues and regularly improving the innovation process. These principles will help non-manufacturing processes far beyond R&D as well, such as administration, services, and healthcare."—Peg Pennington, Executive Director, Center for Operational Excellence, The Ohio State University"Norbert Majerus is a remarkable engineer and an extraordinary storyteller. This book tells the story of how he and his colleagues have taken their understanding of the basics of lean and applied it to the difficult task of product development. He is one of the few people I know who has so completely absorbed the concepts of the book, Factory Physics, that he has been able to apply them in a completely new environment—product innovation."—Mark L. Spearman, Co-author of Factory Physics and Former Department Head, Industrial and Systems Engineering, Texas A&M University
"When I first got to know Norbert Majerus at an LPPDE conference some years ago, I felt he was a remarkable man. He was sure of his deep knowledge, but he also was very interested in learning more, a lot more. This is a sign of a true lean practitioner. In Lean-Driven Innovation, Norbert shares some of his deep knowledge with us, and puts it in place with clear principles and real examples. He shows that focusing on true customer value — instead of the traditional focus on R&D cost — really pays off, and that building new value streams is the true objective for a product development organization. I love the last chapter Lean Never Ends, showing that the journey has just begun!"—Peter Palmer, Senior Manager Process Support, Scania, and Board Member of LPPDE

"This useful practical guide to understanding and managing anxiety is most timely. The external pressures on children and young people are many; the incidence of mental health problems is increasing and troubling youngsters and their families. Teachers, assistants, youth workers and parents will welcome this book with a loud hurrah as it provides clear information about the nature of anxiety and, best of all, there are many helpful ideas and practical programmes which will enable adults to feel confident in using tried and tested resources which have been shown to reduce anxiety in most children and young people. The authors, Liz Herrick and Barbara Redman-White, have many years’ experience in working with troubled youngsters. This book is an excellent distillation of their understanding of anxiety and of what works when managing it. It is a much-needed resource for schools, colleges, childcare settings and parents." - Glenys Fox, Education Consultant and Former Principal Educational Psychologist and HMI, Ofsted, UK.
"[...] the first half [of this book] offers a lot of comprehensive and accessible information, and the second half gives excellent resources that can be photocopied and downloaded. I can see this is going to be a frequent reference text for me this year." - Educational Psychology Today, UK.
"Liz Herrick and Barbara Redman-White are highly experienced and talented psychologists with a detailed understanding of how children may be supported when psychological problems occur. For the adults around young people – parents and carers, teachers, assistants and young people themselves, this book will be genuine help in helping to overcome anxiety. Around one in five young people experience significant mental health issues and there is evidence that this is on the rise – anxiety, depression and anger can all be debilitating and impact on young people and those around them. Liz and Barbara cut through the literature to give useful and practical strategies to soothe and support young people and defeat crippling anxiety. Worried parents, students, and empathic teachers and carers will make good use of this book and empower young people to take back control of their lives." - Peter Sharp, BSc PGCE DipEd CertEdPsych MA CPsychol AFBPsS, Freelance consultant on health, wellbeing, education and social care. Former chief psychologist, director of consultancy and chief executive of the Centre for Workforce Intelligence. Author of ‘Nurturing Emotional Literacy’.
"This highly accessible guide to supporting children and young people with anxiety would be invaluable to all teachers, teaching assistants, parents and carers. Written in a clear and engaging way, there are many practical ideas for supporting children as well as information to enable a thorough understanding of the needs of children and young people with anxiety. […] Encouraging schools to consider the ethos and values of their school is an exceptionally refreshing approach to the one that very often focuses entirely on the individual and their ‘deficits’. There are also lots of positive ideas for working in partnership with parents and carers to support with managing emotions at home with plenty of photocopiable resources provided as well as links to online support." - Julie Wharton, Senior Lecturer and Leader of the National Award for SEN Co-ordination, University of Winchester, UK.
"Supporting Children and young People with Anxiety is a valuable resource that I will be requesting for the University library and bringing to students’ attention. Most professionals working in education recognise the high degree of anxiety amongst those they work with. The deeper understanding of anxiety and the practical strategies to help children and young people are often lacking, however, and this is where this accessible book proves so timely and useful. 
I shared my inspection copy with some of my students and the response was enthusiastic. Comments included:
‘I particularly liked the "parents as role models" exercise where it includes a number of questions for parents to answer.　 I also thought the page on How to Manage Panic Attacks was very helpful.’
‘I would definitely recommend this book to my setting as I think they could utilise the Ten Week Programme and Powerpoint Presentation for staff and parents’.
Students commented on the book’s usefulness not just in their professional roles but in their personal lives as parents. I am confident the book will find a good home on the shelves of all keen to support children and young people’s wellbeing." - Karen Morris, Senior Lecturer, University of Winchester, UK
"This is a highly practical book, very user friendly and full of useful downloadable resources. It's wide-ranging in its coverage and provides support for children and young people of all ages, individually or in groups, with resources for all adults involved with young people, including parents, carers and teachers. Readers are helped to understand the nature of anxiety and given helpful ideas, practical strategies and resources to empower them to help those in their care. The book doesn't waffle but gets straight down to facts which are clearly and succinctly presented in a way that is accessible even to those with little knowledge or experience." - Sarah Brew, Parents in Touch
"This text provides easily accessed and beautifully constructed insight into how parents and professionals alike can not only deepen their understanding of how anxiety affects the thoughts and behaviour of children and young people, but also how we might support those experiencing it to understand and manage it more effectively for themselves.
What particularly makes this book stand out is the emphasis on gently helping children acknowledge and understand their anxiety at a neurological, physical and emotional level first, before introducing the idea that changing their thoughts and behaviour is possible.
Strong emphasis is also placed on helping children and young people develop their pre-requisite skills at a developmentally appropriate level. For example, understanding and expressing their emotions and spending time considering the role emotions play on thoughts and behaviour. Sensitively and creatively constructed resources to support individual and group work allow supporting adults to help the children themselves to identify, challenge and then change their negative thoughts and then subsequent behaviours safely.
As a practicing psychologist living in the US, I can already see that the way this text promotes a better understanding of how accurate thinking can lead to suitable behaviour is an invaluable message to promote not just within UK classrooms, but beyond them too." - Dr Joy Boughton, Educational Psychologist
"Educational psychologists could confidently recommend this book to school staff or parents seeking further guidance in this area. The authors’ underlying approach to anxiety highlights the role of the environment, including the whole school environment, and focuses heavily on our interpersonal responses to anxious children. Overall, the book is non-stigmatising and positive." - Louise Meehan, Educational Psychology in Practice

A Practical Guide

Supporting Children and Young People with Anxiety

"Michael Corballis is among the world’s deepest and most creative cognitive scientists, and he illuminates every subject he takes on with insight, wit, and charm. We’re fortunate that he has stepped back to and applied these gifts to the science of mind." —Steven Pinker, Johnstone Professor of Psychology, Harvard University, and the author of How the Mind Works.
"Librarians will struggle to decide which shelf to put this book on. Autobiography, yes, with fascinating history of Corballis’ own route from sheep farm to academic cognitive neuroscience. History of psychology, also, with personal experience of the competing movements that have swung the discipline about—behaviourism, the cognitive revolution, left-wing politics, postmodernism—all discussed with clarity and humour, but always including constructive argument for how science should be done. And above all else, this is entertainment: Corballis is never ponderous, but sets out important issues and serious life events with modesty and a light-touch which makes it a pleasurable read and a hard book to put down." —Richard Byrne, Emeritus Professor of Psychology, University of St Andrews.
"Sex may be the ever interesting topic, as they say, but it is closely followed by biography, especially autobiography (though nowadays we seem to prefer the term "memoir"), as we can learn so much about ourselves from seeing how others have fared. And what better than the brain/mind interface? And who better a guide than Prof Michael Corballis, a towering figure in neuropsychology for over half a century of prolific, masterful and ever enthralling writing?" —John L. Bradshaw, Emeritus Professor of Psychology, Monash University, and the author of Reflections of a Neuropsychologist.

William S. Sax's latest book... exhibits the same rich ethnography and lively, argument-driven prose that characterized his earlier work... the book offers a wealth of ethnographic description and direct quotation, and it successfully places this content in relation to larger debates in the field and sax's own arguments about ritual, modernity, and personhood in South Asia... it is an excellent book for the classroom as well as a significant contribution to the
literature on healing, caste, gender, and the culture and religion of Garhwal.
