Losses may provide a turning point where an individual faces personal and social choices. Still, one may derive significance through the experience of loss, while another may encounter bereavement with less consequence. "Complicated Grieving and Bereavement: Understanding and Treating People Experiencing Loss" examines complicated grief in special populations, including the mentally ill, POW-MIA survivors, the differentially-abled, suicide survivors, bereaved children, those experiencing death at birth, death in schools, and palliative-care death.

This book examines violence. It looks at the nature and types of violence, the causes of violence, and the emotional wake left by violent episodes. In the twentieth century, the world experienced two world wars and countless other wars. Many millions died violent deaths from murder, death squads, purges, riots, revolutions, ethnic cleansing, rape, robbery, domestic violence, suicide, gang violence, terrorist acts, genocide, and in many other ways. As we entered the twenty-first century, we experienced 9/11, the Red Lake School deaths, suicide bombers, and more mass death brought about by the actions of governments, revolutionaries, terrorists, and still more wars. The need to better understand violence, both lethal and non-lethal, to become aware of the many forms of violence, and to learn how to survive in the aftermath of violent death are the focus of "Perspectives on Violence and Violent Death."

Christmas Music from Baroque Mexico is an extraordinary compilation of seventeenth- and eighteenth-century Christmas music, now preserved thanks to the landmark acquisition of the Sánchez Garza Collection by Mexico''s Secretaría de Educación Pública. The collection, housed within the Mexican National Institute of Fine Arts, encompasses 276 rare manuscripts, including Christmas villancicos and other baroque compositions by both New World and Peninsular composers. These works capture a blend of European musical forms with indigenous and folk influences, representing a unique convergence of cultural expressions in colonial Mexico. This volume not only brings these compositions to light but also features transcriptions of twelve musical examples directly from the Sánchez Garza manuscripts, with additional pieces from the archives of Puebla Cathedral. The Sánchez Garza Collection stands as a significant artifact of Mexico''s colonial musical heritage. With pieces like Salazar''s negro, Vaeza''s negriya, and Ximeno''s gallego, the collection reveals a fascinating infusion of ethnic and folk characteristics within baroque traditions. Originally held by the Holy Trinity Convent in Puebla, these manuscripts survived untouched until their acquisition by the historian Jesús Sánchez Garza, whose dedication preserved them for posterity. Through the meticulous work of the Instituto Nacional de Bellas Artes, this volume offers an invaluable resource for ethnomusicologists, historians, and anyone interested in the deep cultural history and artistry of Baroque Mexico. This title was originally published in 1974.

The second edition of ""What Will We Do? Preparing A School Community to Cope With Crises"" is a guidebook for educators and parents who wish to understand the importance of both pre- and post-intervention programs in our schools to assist all parties in coping with crises that arise. The book examines the scope and effects (including the potential benefits and possible risks) of programs that target such issues as loss, illness, death, grief, war, and violence. It presents specific steps that can be taken to help prepare a school community to cope with possible future crises. Today's news has shown us with dramatic effect that a crisis can occur at any time, often without warning. Educators and parents must work together if they wish to help young people, and each other, when such a crisis occurs. What Will We Do? is a major step in that direction.

In 1915 the 1st Australian Division led the way ashore at Gallipoli. In 1916 it achieved the first Australian victory on the Western Front at Pozières. It was still serving with distinction in the battles that led to the defeat of the German army in 1918. To Win the Battle explains how the division rose from obscurity to forge a reputation as one of the great fighting formations of the British Empire during the First World War, forming a central part of the Anzac legend. Drawing on primary sources as well as recent scholarship, this fresh approach suggests that the early reputation of Australia's premier division was probably higher than its performance warranted. Robert Stevenson shows that the division's later success was founded on the capacity of its commanders to administer, train and adapt to the changing conditions on the battlefield, rather than on the innate qualities of its soldiers.

Originally published in 1931, this book formed part of The Craftsman Series, which aimed to give secondary school age children an insight into 'the development of constructive activities in the sphere of material things'. The text is comprised of extracts from An Account of the Bell Rock Lighthouse (1824) by Robert Stevenson (1772-1850), a renowned Scottish civil engineer who specialised in the design and construction of lighthouses. Extracts were selected with the intention of providing an absorbing account of Stevenson's most notable project and joined together to form a continuous narrative. The text also contains an editorial introduction, glossary and notes. This is a highly readable book that will be of value to anyone with an interest in civil engineering, lighthouses and books for schools.
