Write a review Read reviews Take a Quiz Solve Book Puzzle

An empowering story about how friendship and imagination can help overcome bullying. When a classmate hurts his feelings by calling him a fairy, Brandon turns to his imagination and his two best friends, who rally to his side. Brandon informs his pals that he is now a zombie who will destroy his enemies with his tears. They respond by turning into a ghost and a vampire, ready to protect him from the mean words being thrown at him during recess. What starts as a bullying moment ends in a creative and empathetic exchange between the boys. Brandon is able to smile again — especially when the friends come to a decision on his new nickname: the Zombie Prince. Luc Melanson’s graphic illustrations bring humor to this sensitive story about kindness and imagination healing the hurt left by unkind words.

The carefully developed pedagogical scheme is focused on getting students to think critically about the subject and to engage with its methodological elements, and on demonstrating real-world relevance.Digital formats and resources Principles of Psychology: Contemporary Perspectives is supported by online resources and is available for students and institutions to purchase in a variety of formats.- The e-book is enhanced with embedded self-assessment activities and multi-media content, including animations, concept maps, and flashcards, to offer a fully immersive experience and extra learning support. www.oxfordtextbooks.co.uk/ebooks- The study tools that enhance the e-book, along with web links to guide further reading, are also available as stand-alone resources for use alongside the print book.

Racing Weight

How to Get Lean for Peak Performance

By: Matt Fitzgerald

Racing Weight is the first weight-loss program designed specifically for endurance athletes. Using Racing Weight, endurance athletes can find and attain their fastest body weight and composition—without hurting their training or performance. The Racing Weight program offers 5 strategies based on the latest advances in the science of weight management. After finding their ideal off-season and racing weights, athletes will learn how to improve their diet quality; balance their intake of carbohydrate, protein, and fat; time meals and snacks; manage appetite; and train for lean body composition. Racing Weight is grounded in the science of healthy nutrition and exercise physiology. Packed with findings from recent studies on weight loss and endurance sports performance, Racing Weight explodes myths about fat and weight gain, protein and muscle building, macronutrient ratios, calorie counting, glycemic index, and weight gain during the holidays and off-season. Athletes will learn the truth about sports drinks, supplements, and recovery nutrition. The book includes daily food logs from 14 elite pro athletes and 21 healthy recipes from nutritionist Pip Taylor.
