Involving Community Members in Focus Groups is a must for those who want to teach others to conduct focus group interviews, particularly non-researchers in communities. Authors Richard A. Krueger and Jean A. King draw upon years of experience working with communities and present practical strategies for working alongside non-researchers. Krueger and King argue that volunteers can often gather and present results more effectively than professionals; However, a critical element is how the volunteers are prepared and the manner in which they work together. This book offers countless tips, advice, and exercises for preparing people to conduct focus groups, whether you are preparing a team to conduct a community study or teaching one person to help in a study.

In Sing Me A Story and More, author and musician Jean King combines music lyrics-her own and others-with short stories and poetry. As with previous works, her writings are based in the Midwest where she grew up, on the East Coast where she lived, and upon her travels in the Middle East and India. "e;I like to let my imagination create stories about the people and events in my life. And sometimes, I hear music while writing the story. That's how Write Me A Song in this book came about."e; In her fantasy story, A Beginning Place, Jean takes the reader into a cave where the girl JP and her astute guide, Brook, befriend animals and encounter a monster that challenges JP to overcome her fears. Jean King's books include Knowing the place , Child's Play in the Seasons, and Poems from Rockport and Other Enchanting Places.

In Child''s Play in the Seasons by Jean King, Jean Ellen lives with her family in Illinois. Jean Ellen is always very curious, and one of the things that disturbs her is how her father''s birthday is just four days apart from hers, but he is way older than she. She records her height daily to measure how fast she grows, but her mother assures her she will grow as fast as Mrs. Springman''s roses. Jean Ellen can''t wait to see the roses, but Mrs. Springman who is very kind, tells her that the roses are yet to bloom. Jean Ellen is also very curious about the flooding along the Mississippi River when she hears her parents talking about it. Despite her many questions, her father is very patient and explains the phenomenon to her. Jean Ellen also enjoys other activities such as gardening, playing with her sister, and going to baseball games.
