This book is packed with advice and strategies for understanding and managing anger in children under five, with guidance on how to help a parent or caregiver to cope with their angry feelings too. The authors outline the different reasons children may feel, and offer strategies to combat negative feelings and minimize outbursts.
In The Little Volcano Inside, young readers can journey with Tal as he discovers the source of his explosive feelings, and comes to understand that he holds the power to control them. In this remarkable story, Tal thinks of ways he can calm the little volcano inside. He wonders why other children don't seem to have such an active volcano, like he does. He enlists the help of his friends at pre-school, and even his teacher, to work together to control their volcanoes without using physical force. Written by a social worker specializing in violence among children, The Little Volcano Inside clearly communicates complex ideas perfectly pitched to a child's level of cognitive and emotional understanding. It presents an important opportunity for parents, teachers, child psychologists and social workers to teach children to handle everyday challenges in a calm, non-physical way.
On an island not too far away lives a little volcano called Aloalo. One morning Aloalo wakes up to find his tummy really really hurts. Poor Aloalo not sure what to do, soon has his friends come to his rescue. Trying different things to help Aloalo feel better. Will his friend's be successful?
The 1940 Under the Volcano—hidden for too long in the shadows of Lowry’s 1947 masterpiece—differs from the latter in significant ways. It is a bridge between Lowry’s 1930s fiction (especially In Ballast to the White Sea) and the 1947 Under the Volcano itself. Joining the recently published Swinging the Maelstrom and In Ballast to the White Sea, The 1940 Under the Volcano takes its rightful place as part of Lowry’s exciting 1930s/early-40s trilogy. Scholars have only recently begun to pay systematic attention to convergences and divergences between this earlier work and the 1947 version. Miguel Mota and Paul Tiessen’s insightful introduction, together with extensive annotations by Chris Ackerley and David Large, reveal the depth and breadth of Lowry’s complex vision for his work. This critical edition fleshes out our sense of the enormous achievement by this twentieth-century modernist. Publié en anglais.
Interferometric synthetic aperture radar (InSAR) is a relatively new remote sensing tool that is capable of measuring ground-surface deformation with centimeter-to-subcentimeter precision at a spatial resolution of tens of meters over an area of hundreds to thousands of square kilometers. With its global coverage and all-weather imaging capability, InSAR has become an increasingly important technique for studying volcanoes in remote regions such as the Aleutian Islands. The spatial distribution of surface deformation data derived from InSAR images enables the construction of detailed mechanical models to enhance the study of magmatic processes. InSAR Imaging of Aleutian Volcanoes: • Provides a theoretical framework for InSAR observations and capabilities • Discusses state-of-the-art InSAR analysis techniques • Describes the structure, eruptive history, and magma composition of volcanoes along the entire Aleutian arc • Presents conceptual models for the magma plumbing systems of Aleutian volcanoes based on InSAR results combined with geophysical, geological and geochemical observations. • Synthesizes observations of deformation along the Aleutian arc and compares those results to other active arcs around the world. • Is illustrated throughout with high-resolution color satellite radar images
An attractively illustrated popular account of volcanoes around the globe, originally published in 1866, and in this English translation in 1868.
"Despite a long history of geologic investigations in the Ozarks, new studies and analyses continue to elucidate our understanding of the complex interconnection between the basement, extensive carbonate platforms, structural overprinting, mineralization, karstification, and hydrology. This guidebook volume highlights a few of these aspects as well as the connection to culture, history, and economic development of the Ozarks region."--Publisher's description.
