A brilliant combination of reader and writer come together in these seven short stories available on digital download only.Stephen writes "Saki remains, from a distance of a hundred years, just about the sharpest, cruellest, funniest and most elegant short story writer in our language. Hector Hugh Monro, to give him his real name, was an English writer and journalist whose life was cut short by the Great War. His stories often oppose nature and civilisation, with the more macabre elements of nature usually rising to victory. My favourite of his stories is Sredni Vashtar, as perfect a symbolic tale of the power of adolescence as is imaginable. The triumph of imagination, sexuality and life over the repressive forces of conventionality has never been more perfectly or shockingly expressed. The excellence of Tobermory, the talking cat, of The unrest Cure and the Open Window all reveal that unique blend of Wodehousian social comedy with wicked cruelty.Saki is like a perfect martini but with absinthe stirred in...heady, delicious and dangerous. Enjoy" Stephen Fry 2009Short Stories by Saki Munro Hector Hugh203374Fry Stephen1957-othAUDIO9910148912703321Saki's Short Stories3650035UNINA04923nam 22005655 450 991025335170332120251116155601.03-319-12556-710.1007/978-3-319-12556-5(CKB)3710000000726802(DE-He213)978-3-319-12556-5(MiAaPQ)EBC4556301(EXLCZ)99371000000072680220160610d2016 u| 0engurnn|008mamaatxtrdacontentcrdamediacrrdacarrierParenting and Children's Resilience in Military Families /edited by Abigail H.

It examines the complex family needs of this diverse population, especially as familiar issues such as trauma, domestic violence, and child abuse manifest differently than in civilian life. Expert contributors review findings on deployed mothers, active-duty fathers, and other military parents while offering evidence for interventions and prevention programs to enhance children’s healthy adjustment in this highly structured yet uncertain context. Its emphasis on resource and policy improvements keeps the book focused on the evolution of military families in the face of future change and challenges. Included in the coverage: Impacts of military life on young children and their parents. Parenting school-age children and adolescents through military deployments. Parenting in military families faced with combat-related injury, illness, or death. The special case of civilian service members: supporting parents in the National Guard and Reserves. Interventions to support and strengthen parenting in military families: state of the evidence. Military parenting in the digital age: existing practices, new possibilities. Addressing a major need in family and parenting studies, Parenting and Children’s Resilience in Military Families is necessary reading for scholars and practitioners interested in parenting and military family research. .Risk and Resilience in Military and Veteran Families,2570-348XFamiliesFamilies—Social aspectsDevelopmental psychologySocial policyFamilyhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/X27000Developmental Psychologyhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/Y20010Social Policyhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/W34020Families.Families—Social aspects.Developmental psychology.Social policy.Family.Developmental Psychology.Social Policy.306.85Gewirtz Abigail H.edthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edtYoussef Adriana M.edthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edtBOOK9910253351703321Parenting and Children's Resilience in Military Families2543747UNINA
