This indispensable guide shows students what successful academic writing involves and gives them the tools they will need to write successfully themselves. It separates fact from fiction and takes students through the five essential elements of academic writing: writing critically; using sources; developing your own voice; having a clear structure and style; and editing and polishing drafts. Chapters include annotated extracts of real students' academic writing from a range of subject areas. This third edition has been revised throughout, and contains three new sections on originality, argument and synthesising sources.Writing for University is an essential resource for students making the transition to university-level study and a valuable reference point for all students doing academic study in English. It is suitable for students of all disciplines, from education and business through to social work and psychology.

University students are typically exposed to a much wider variety of academic sources at university – including monographs, textbooks, journals, reports – and, crucially, a much larger proportion of their time is spent on independent academic reading, relative to their time in school.There are lots of study skills texts which deal with academic writing in some form or other, but there are far fewer resources which provide helpful guidance about how to manage the early stages of an assignment. The quality of a student’s written work reflects the quality of their reading and note-making skills. If students don’t understand what their assignment is asking; if students don’t take control of their reading list and consult the most appropriate sources; and if students don’t end the process of reading with meaningful notes it’s very unlikely that they will score high marks for their assignment.This book helps readers to take charge of their reading at university and provides succinct and practical guidance at key stages of the assignment. It helps students to understand what their assignment title means and how to identify useful, reliable academic sources. It helps students to apply different reading strategies, depending on the task at hand, and to approach texts actively so that they are questioning and evaluating materials as they go. In addition to reading strategies, the Pocket introduces readers to useful strategies and tips for note-making. The final part helps readers to make the most of their notes by engaging with and reviewing the material they’ve created.New for this edition:- A science-based example for STEM students- New section which helps readers think about what type of information and evidence they need to find- New tips on managing large volumes of reading- Updated material on note-making software and online tools to reflect latest technology

För många är åldrandet relativt problemfritt, även om sjukdomar och funktionsnedsättningar blir vanligare ju längre vi lever. Vid sidan av problemfriheten finns det olika typer av utsatthet, utmaningar och bekymmer som kan drabba äldre på ett särskilt sätt. Det kan handla om alltifrån missbruk och ensamhet till svårigheter att betala räkningar i ett samhälle som blir allt mer digitalt. Den här antologin består av elva kapitel där forskare belyser olika former av utsatthet och problem under åldrandet. Social Work Press är ett open access-förlag som publicerar kvalitetsgranskade antologier inom området socialt arbete. Förlaget har som mål att bidra till en ökad utgivning av svenskspråkiga publikationer av hög vetenskaplig kvalitet.

Världens mest älskade björn på nya äventyr - rikt illustrerade i färg A. A. Milnes berättelser om Nalle Puh har lästs och älskats av generationer ända sedan den första boken kom ut 1926. Till 90-årsjubileet kom en uppföljare, Världens bästa björn, där vi får tillbringa ett helt år med Nalle Puh och Christopher Robin i Sjumilaskogen. Vid höstkanten är Puh och Nasse rädda för att en drake ska invadera skogen. Till vintern kommer en mycket blyg pingvin på besök, han behöver hjälp att lockas ut ur sitt skal. När våren nalkas oroar sig I-or för att en annan åsna ska komma och äta upp alla tistlar. Världens bästa björn presenteras här för första gången på svenska, i översättning av Torun Lidfeldt Bager, med färgillustrationer i klassisk Nalle Puh-stil signerade Mark Burgess. A. A. MILNE [1882-1956] var en engelsk författare och dramatiker som blivit känd över hela världen för sina odödliga berättelser om Nalle Puh. Karaktärerna baserades på sonen Christopher Robin och hans leksaksdjur. Världens bästa björn är en officiell och auktoriserad uppföljare, skriven i Milnes anda av författarna Paul Bright, Brian Sibley, Jeanne Willis och Kate Saunders. Boken är rikt illustrerad i färg av barnboksförfattaren och illustratören Mark Burgess - i den ursprunglige Nalle Puh-illustratören E. H. Shepards klassiska stil.
