Book excerpt: Ernest Hill has always been a writer of great power and psychological depth, creating characters that resonate brilliantly beyond the boundaries of gender and race. Cry Me A River is a remarkable book. It runs deep and it runs fast. --Robert Olen Butler, author of the Pulitzer Prize-winning A Good Scent from a Strange Mountain An absentee father from a "no good" family, Tyrone Stokes was imprisoned for shooting a man in a convenience store. His wife saw her chance to end their marriage and raise their son, Marcus, on her own. Now Tyrone has returned to Brownsville, Louisiana, to discover that his boy needs help--help that Tyrone is desperate to give, if he can only figure out how. Marcus has been convicted of the rape and murder of a young white girl. An execution date is set, and it's rumored that the Governor will refuse clemency. Tyrone is convinced Marcus is innocent, despite a stack of evidence against him--but he is also wracked by knowledge of all the ways he has failed his son. Against all odds, Tyrone sets out to keep Marcus alive--and perhaps put his family back together again. "Hill is a skilled storyteller." --New York Times Book Review "I couldn't put it down. . .Would fit well on the shelf with the works of Richard Wright and Chester Himes." --Ernest J. Gaines, bestselling author of A Lesson Before Dying

Book excerpt: A skilled storyteller. --New York Times Book Review "A writer of great power and psychological depth, creating characters that resonate brilliantly beyond the boundaries of gender and race." --Robert Olen Butler, Pulitzer Prize-winning author of A Good Scent from a Strange Mountain Felicia Fontenot has returned to her hometown to care for her ailing mother. In the small community, Felicia must live across the street from Luther Jackson, her first love--and his wife, Juanita, the woman for whom he left her. But Felicia bears Luther no ill will. Their past is in the past. Yet no sooner has she settled in than the town is rocked by a tragic crime--one that hits all too close to home. Luther's pregnant wife and young son have been horrifically killed--and the police have instantly identified Luther as their prime suspect. Shocked and dismayed, Felicia is soon torn between her mother's admonition not to get involved--and her own desire to clear Luther and perhaps gain a second chance with the man she has never forgotten. It is a journey that will lead her to discover not only the depths of her own humanity, but the true meaning of love. . . "As the story unfolds. . .these unforgettable characters come to full, sympathetic life." --Publishers Weekly

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Teaching Science and Technology in the Early Years (3–7) celebrates young children’s amazing capabilities as scientists, designers and technologists. Research-based yet practical and accessible, it demonstrates how scientific designing and making activities are natural to young children, and have the potential for contributing to all aspects of their learning. By identifying the scientific and technological concepts, skills and activities being developed, the book enables the reader to make more focused diagnostic observations of young children and plan for how they can help move them forward in their learning. This third edition has been thoroughly updated and features: fresh insights into young children’s learning from neuroscience and ‘new-materialist’ perspectives; a UK-wide perspective on Early Years curricula and how they support the inclusion of science and technology as an entitlement for young children; new case studies of successful, evidence-based Early Years practice, alongside new examples of practical planning for learning, and advice on documenting children’s learning stories; an updated chapter on assessing and documenting children’s learning, drawing upon findings from the Teacher Assessment in Primary Science (TAPS) project at Bath Spa University. Based on the latest research and first-hand experience, this practical and accessible book is essential reading for Early Years and Primary students on undergraduate, PGCE and Masters-level courses.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: DescriptionThis book is Anne's fourth for Chipmunka Publishing and in many ways one that reaches out to other people. Its aim is to encourage others who have also experienced mental health difficulties to take up new interests. Anne describes how she took to the pen and computer again, inspired by the Write Afresh Writing Group which meets in the Raynes Park area in Merton, especially for people who have had mental health issues. Anne describes how she also goes to the gym and tries to keep fit with aqua classes, and took up art classes for the first time in her life. 'We can all learn new skills.' she says. Read her chapter on being a survivor. Read some of her poetry. Anne hopes you will enjoy reading her book and write to her care of her publisher with your comments. She does intend to write further and would like to hear from her readers. Has this book inspired you or someone you care for to cope with their life? I hope so. It is not always easy when you have mental health issues to deal with, to engage with real life, but remember, it is your life and we need to get on with living. About the AuthorAnne Brocklesby was born in Epsom on 6th February 1951, and currently lives in the Wimbledon area where her two children Chris and Lizzie went to school. Anne is married to David, a solicitor, and he has been a great support to her during the time she was unwell. Anne currently goes to the gym to aqua classes to try and keep fit, and also earlier this year tried out some art classes, and joined a creative writing group. This creative writing group has inspired her to get her current book 'It's My Life!!' together, and she talks with great fondness of their regular weekly meetings. 'We love to hear each others' writings', she says. Anne is now thinking about the future. What will it hold? In the past she has had an active life working and bringing up her children, and now there is some time to reflect on the past and plan for the future she says with interest. This book is her fourth for Chipmunka Publishing and she has enjoyed every bit of getting the books together ready for publication. She hopes it will inspire others who have experienced mental health difficulties like herself, to reach out to others and to take up new interests. Anne is a keen advocate of mental health promotion and hopes that you can read her book 'Let's Hang On To Mental Health - We Need To Prevent Mental Distress' which discusses this in greater detail. Mental health promotion is informing people about wellbeing, and how they can look after their mental health, with positive policies in place for the mental health of the nation. Every year on October 10th there is a world mental health day. Anne's other two books are about her journey through manic depression and the third one, the sequel, deals with 'Moving On From Depresssion'.
