ten poets get to the bottom of some grisly crimes

Do poets make good detectives? Find out by following their feats of deduction, in this set of ten wildly varied accounts of mystery and murder. See them soften the tight lips of witnesses, squeeze the hearts of suspects, and wrestle with the muddledness of the inner life exposed. Watch for their subtle skill, but also for the all-too-human weaknesses and maddening contradictions that all honest poetry (and all good detective fiction) holds up, glintingly, to the light.

“Got a question?” asks Mom. Definitely! I thought. “Who invented spoons?” I ask. “What kind of meal is a matzoh meal? Can spicy stuff make you breathe fire?”In their apartment, the ever-inquisitive Sami is watching his mother prepare pot roast for the Passover seder. Noticing that both ends of the roast have been cut off, Sami wants to know why, but his mother can’t give him an answer – only that her mother always did it. Determined to get to the bottom of this, Sami runs upstairs to his Grandma Shirley’s apartment to ask her – amongst other things – the same question. But Grandma Shirley can only give him the same answer as his mother: “Because that’s how my mother always did it”. Not giving up, Sami runs up one more flight of stairs to ask Great-Grandma Lee, who finally gives him an answer and encourages him to keep asking questions, no matter what. This beautifully illustrated, light-hearted story has family and Jewish traditions – in particular Passover and the Four Questions – at its core. It teaches young readers about the importance of being curious, asking questions and not giving up until you find an answer.

Part One looks at six of the most common behavioural disorders: Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD), Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD), Autism, Anxiety Disorders, Oppositional Defiant Disorder, and Conduct Disorder. Each chapter focuses on one disorder and includes a list of questions intended to determine if your child exhibits enough of the tendencies associated with this disorder to warrant a closer look.

I was mostly a Good Dog until they sold me out to animal control, okay? But if it''s a choice between Oz, with its creepy little singing dudes, and being behind bars in gray old Kansas, I''ll choose the place where animals talk and run the show for now, thanks. It''s not my fault that the kid is stuck here too, or that she stumbled into a tug-of-war over a pair of slippers that don''t even taste good. Now one witch in good eyeliner calls her pretty and we''re off on a quest? Teenagers. I try to tell her she''s falling in with the wrong crowd when she befriends a freaking hedge wizard made of straw, that blue jay with revolutionary aspirations, and the walking tin can. Still, I''m not one to judge when there''s the small matter of a coup in the Forest Kingdom... Look, something really stinks in Oz, and this Wizard guy and the witches positively reek of it. As usual, it''s going to be up to a sensible little dog to do a big dog''s job and get to the bottom of it. And trust me: Little dogs can get away with anything.

After years of trying different therapies for his crippling anxiety without success, Dr Russell Kennedy had an epiphany: anxiety does not start in the brain. Anxiety starts in the body, where trauma is stored and physical and emotional perception begin. Alarm bells originating in the body are what trigger those anxious thoughts that we call anxiety, and Dr Kennedy realised that true healing starts only when we learn not to conflate the two.He understood that existing therapies focused only on the mind would never get to the root of the problem – at best, they could help manage symptoms, but they’d never truly heal anxiety. Now fully revised and updated, with new material including the Anxiety Toolkit, The Anxiety Prescription blends Dr Kennedy's personal story with medical science, neuroscience and developmental psychology. When you learn how to sever the connection between the somatic alarm and the flood of anxious thoughts – you can begin to heal old trauma and gain back a sense of control.The Anxiety Prescription offers a toolkit of techniques for our thinking minds, and our feeling bodies – changing not just our mindset, but our 'body-set'.

Triumphs and disasters in the deep seaThis is a journey through time and water, to the bottom of the ocean and the future of our planet.We do not see the ocean when we look at the water that blankets more than two thirds of our planet. We only see the entrance to it. Beyond that entrance is a world hostile to humans, yet critical to our survival. The first divers to enter that world held their breath and splashed beneath the surface, often clutching rocks to pull them down. Over centuries, they invented wooden diving bells, clumsy diving suits, and unwieldy contraptions in attempts to go deeper and stay longer. But each advance was fraught with danger, as the intruders had to survive the crushing weight of water, or the deadly physiological effects of breathing compressed air.
