This is a practical guide for all those involved in teaching and learning about bereavement, loss and managing change. It takes the reader through the theory and the process, and integrates the information into practice. The book provides a framework for teaching and understanding specific conflicts and their effects on health, and describes the underpinning theories and current research. The text considers work, school, family and social environments, and looks at ways of teaching, learning, organising and training in loss, bereavement and change. Themes and issues of experiencing loss are considered, including bullying, violence, sexual crime and anger, along with ways of resolving these conflicts. Methods of dealing with death of a child, suicide, trauma and unemployment are also highlighted. The final section looks at coping mechanisms, such as assertiveness, grieving and post-traumatic stress syndrome.

Edward Henry Weston (1886-1958) first started taking photographs at the age of sixteen with a camera given to him by his father. Over the next five decades, he would come to be regarded by his peers as one of the greatest photographers of the twentieth century.This unique volume is a collection of his photographic studies of the nude form, first put together in 1953 with co-operation of acclaimed photography critic Nancy Newhall, and is the only book on the subject that Weston himself participated in. In the 1950s, however, publishers of fine art photography were reluctant to address the subject, and the proposal was rejected.In 1985, an incomplete version of the original mock up was acquired by the J. Paul Getty Museum. It was only in 2006 that the previously unpublished volume was able to be re-created in its original form - finally realizing Weston and Newhall's true vision.
