How to provide for your child's social and emotional development\nDo you worry about your children?\nAre you confused or confronted by their emotional outbursts?\nDo you often find yourself wondering, 'What do I do now?'\nChild and adolescent psychiatrist Andrew Wake has worked with children, adolescents and their parents for more than ten years, and knows how difficult it can be for parents to manage their own emotions let alone help their children manage theirs.\nHe explains that children naturally want everything, but that our job as parents is to give them 'just enough'. Indeed, parenting can be thought of as a gradual shift from 'saving' our children (telling them what to do) to 'supporting' them (allowing them the freedom to learn for themselves).\nDr Wake demystifies children's behaviour by explaining how their brains and their early attachment experiences work together to influence their emotional development.\nHe offers practical advice on:\n- responding to strong emotions 
- setting boundaries 
- communicating as a family\nPeppered with excellent case studies, this reassuring book will inspire confidence in parents, carers and anyone who works with children.

Bringing together twenty-one remarkable women, The Modern Woman's Anthology 2010 reveals a range of insights through personal stories based around what it means to be a woman in today's world. This unique publication chronicles the trials and joys of being a modern woman, from singing opera in Russia to early morning family chaos, from cycling across Africa to growing up with Germaine Greer's philosophies, from old wives' tales to running a school in Tanzania. Contributing writers include Olympian Cathy Freeman, doctor and media commentator Dr Cindy Pan, award-winning children's author Libby Hathorn, and Chairman and Executive Director of Sherman Contemporary Art Foundation Dr Gene Sherman, to name a few. Each story reveals something about their commonality: womanhood. All proceeds from The Modern Woman's Anthology will be donated to the Black Dog Institute, a not-for-profit, educational, research, clinical and community-oriented facility offering specialist expertise in mental health. 'One of the beautiful things that women do so well is share their stories of the daily struggle to find meaning and balance in this crazy old world. In this wonderful compilation some fabulous Aussie women do it with a touching honesty that makes you think, 'Thank God! I'm not alone!'

This book has a long umbilical cord. It is about Spanish and American families that separately arrive in the Philippines in 1896 and 1931. They lived during the colonial eras in the Philippines from the 16th to the 20th century. Members of the third and fourth generations of the Capen and Rodriguez families, who agreed to talk about their and their forebears' lives, are veritable representatives of the first and second generations of their ancestors, who are no longer around. The story-telling is aided by documents, letters, recollections of relatives, and a comprehensive family tree that dates as far back as 400 years; their recollections are animated not only by their knowledge of the past but by the depth and the growth of their self-knowledge. This information, in modern times, is a viable warranty. In a sense, this book has psychological inroads to the living and the dead.

Battle for the North is the second in The Kimberley Trilogy of Australian adventure novels which span the first, second and, yet to come, third world war. It reunites the heroes and heroines of For Freedom's Cause -Dan, Charlie, Elspeth Liza and Alice, in frustrating Japanese espionage plots and raids into northern Australia during World War 2. The action takes place in the Kimberley wilderness and celebrates the daring and heroism of mounted North Australian Observer Unit patrols, nicknamed the 'Nackeroos' or 'Curtin's Cowboys.' Following on the bombing of Darwin and Broome, Japanese marine commandos land on the Kimberley coast to establish a foothold and deny the US and Australian Navies a secure re-fuelling and supply base. In the absence of Australia's regular forces in the Middle East and Singapore, all that stands between them and success is Dan Bevan's and Charlie Elliott's part-time observer patrols, which battle a Japanese special forces unit from Broome to their Kalumburu base and join the fight to push the enemy back into the sea. Flight Captain Daniel Bevan returns from the Battle of Britain to join the air war over northern Australia and whilst Dan and Charlie conduct their guerrilla campaign in the bush, their wives and Lady Elspeth interrupt their war work in Darwin to thwart black market thugs and hunt down a murderous Spy.
