Late-night music lessons in school provide some escape, but when Laura hears strange noises in the dark, empty building, she discovers she's not alone.Unravelling the mystery becomes an obsession. Gradually, she uncovers a secret that links a boy in her class, her own great-grandad and a nuclear scientist in a distant country. The trail takes her on a terrifying journey far from home, and ultimately on a journey of self-discovery. Suitable for 11 to 16-year-olds.

Canadian Boomers

Growing Up in Manitoba in the Fifties and Sixties

By: Frederick Ross,Helga Ross

It was the era of the Cold War, shiny new cars, rock 'n roll, and the magic allure of television. Entertainment was literally turning from black-and-white to colour, and its audiences were likewise bursting into adulthood in living technicolour. Canadian Boomers: Growing Up in Manitoba in the Fifties and Sixties invites readers to turn back the analogue clock to a different age when life was simpler. These relatable baby boomer memories provide insights into city and rural life during the age of post-war stability and consumerism. The co-authors tell their stories with humour, warmth, and nostalgia. They present personal and authentic reflections of the period, offering astute commentary on various elements of life as a whole generation knew it. This is a lively collection of fifty-five short stories and vignettes that paint a picture of Manitoba during the fifties and sixties: growing up on the farm; fun in the city; the bands that changed popular music; the high school experience; and surviving the fifties and sixties. Covering childhood diseases, Christmas holidays, sports, technology, and family traditions, readers are invited to look back and see themselves in these snapshots from a shared past. The stories in Canadian Boomers show innocent similarities and infinite differences across the unfurling of time.

Problem Solving and Intelligence

Problem Solving and Intelligence

By: Helga A. H. Rowe

Originally published in 1985, Problem Solving and Intelligence was the result of the author’s efforts to understand the nature of human intelligence and the differences in the cognitive functioning of individuals which we observe again and again. The book contains two types of material. First it presents an overview of major contributions to the conceptualization and investigation of problem solving and intelligence, which was derived from the extensive, largely non-cumulative literature at the time. Second it reports a comprehensive, empirical study of the manifestation of intelligence in problem solving. The subject matter was at the interface of three traditional areas of psychological inquiry: namely, the study of cognitive processes, individual differences, and the characteristics of the stimulus. What was innovative is that intellectual performance is investigated in relation to the simultaneous operation of variables from these dimensions. The book was intended, primarily, as a contribution to the understanding and investigation of the nature of intelligent behavior, as well as an introduction to intelligence and problem solving. Today it can be read and enjoyed in its historical context.

Beautiful Atlanta

Ein kleines zwölf jähriges Mädchen in Deutschland hatte sich von ihrer grösseren Schwester ein dickes Buch ausgeliehen. Es war ein Buch über eine Stadt in Georgia in Amerika, die Stadt heisst Atlanta. Von diesem Buch war sie von Anfang an faszieniert und konnte nicht aufhören zu lesen, Am Abend schickte ihre Mutter sie um neun Uhr ins Bett weil sie am nächsten Morgen zur Schule musste.

Hereditary Hearing Loss and Its Syndromes

By: Robert J. Gorlin,Helga V. Toriello

This definitive reference work replaces Konigsmark and Gorlin's Genetic and Metabolic Deafness (1976). Whereas the earlier volume covered 151 genetic conditions related to hearing loss, this work covers 435. As before, the authors first discuss isolated hereditary hearing loss and then present hearing loss syndromes such as those involving the nervous system, eye, external ear and musculoskeletal system. The discussions are authoritative, practical and well-illustrated, and those of the most important syndromes are very detailed. Introductory chapters deal with the history of the field, clinical approach, embryology of the ear, tooth anomalies and hearing loss, and related endocrine and metabolic disorders. Throughout, the authors pay careful attention to nomenclature and classification. This will be an invaluable resource for all professionals concerned with genetic hearing loss, including medical geneticists, audiologists and otolaryngologists.
