It additionally addresses the wider challenges and impact of the Covid-19 pandemic, climate change, and international conflict upon practice and personhood. Questions around training are explored as well as specific practice challenges relating to managing limits and boundaries within play therapy and working with adopted children. Throughout the book, the author will reflect upon aspects of personal and clinical experience, sharing something of his own developmental narrative through training, teaching, and practice.Reflections on Play Therapy will serve as a core text for trainee play therapists and also a valuable resource for any experienced clinicians working therapeutically with children, young people, and families.

A humorous, reflective, often poignant account of two increasingly hairy hikers' coast-to-coast trek along the length of the French Pyrenees, revealing the history and geography along the way
With a glint in his eye, Rob turns and asks me if I want to "touch his furry puma." We are only hours into the trip and things have already taken a sinister turn. Thankfully, it turns out he is referring to the little embossed logo on his new shirt. 
Fueled by a degree of midlife crisis and the need to escape from routine, armed with rusty schoolboy French and plenty of schoolboy humor, friends David and Rob set out to walk the fabled GR10 hiking trail, a French footpath running the length of the Pyrenees Mountains. It will take them from the Hendaye on the Atlantic coast to Banyuls-sur-Mer on the Mediterranean, through beautiful scenery and one of the most spectacular mountain ranges in Europe. Just about perfect—if you can put aside the inevitable snoring-induced conflict and bad habits that result from two men spending more than seven weeks in each other's company. This tale will appeal to weekend walkers, serious trekkers, and all who simply enjoy a good story of human endeavor and foolishness

Humorous, reflective, and poignant, this is the story of a journey around one of the world's most iconic mountains, through an area that is full to bursting with stories to rememberMont Blanc, or "Il Bianco" as it is sometimes known as in Italy; The White One. It sits, regally, upon pleated glacial folds gathered together around a timeless, grey-rock body, high above the French town of Chamonix, lord of all that it surveys. It beguiles, bewitches, and charms the lesser folk who seek to frolic and play among the buttressed foothills of its ancient frame, but exudes also a sense of foreboding; a warning to the 100 or so climbers that die each year attempting to reach the gleaming, domed summit of this great snow-encrusted mountain. Framed by the cobalt blue sky and golden alpine sun, Western Europe's highest mountain has held a certain allure to explorers and hikers for centuries, playing host to the likes of Hannibal, Napoleon, and the early pioneers of alpine exploration. In a muddy field somewhere in Cornwall on New Year's Day, two men make a pact to tackle it. Call it a mid-life crisis, with not only one of their daughter's about to leave for university but also the rapidly approaching prospect of a 50th birthday to consider: walking 170 kilometers across a mountain range seems the perfect antidote.

La palabra anatomía significa cortar el cuerpo para examinar sus partes. La fisiología es el estudio del comportamiento de los sistemas corporales. Si las funciones no se tienen en cuenta, el estudio de la forma es estéril; por esto, la fisiología se erige en complemento de la anatomía. La anatomía es una disciplina descriptiva y la fisiología, experimental. Este texto, excepcionalmente claro y bien ilustrado, proporciona una introducción ideal a la estructura y funcionamiento del cuerpo humano. La composición y las propiedades de los tejidos corporales se describen completamente, además de la anatomía del brazo, de la pierna, del abdomen, del tórax, de la cabeza, del cuello y de la columna vertebral. La segunda parte del libro se centra en la nutrición, las funciones de los diversos sistemas corporales y los procesos biofísicos y bioquímicos relacionados. Los términos técnicos se explican siempre de forma clara y sencilla.
