      Picture Books about Emotion Management for Girls

      by Le Fan, Liu Chanjuan, Liu Jiaxi

      While growing up, girls are more likely than boys to receive contradictory expectations from different aspects of their lives: parents, teachers, peers, society, and themselves. They could be rebellious but at the same time remain "good girls". They could express anger against bullies at school while simultaneously meeting teachers' expectations of nonaggressive behavior. They could be powerful and competitive at the same time that they worry about being considered "unfeminine". Girls struggle with these conflicting messages in their everyday lives, trying to please all these other people and losing track of themselves. Writer Le Fan, who has experienced the same contradictions as growing up, hopes that girls could love themselves, put themselves first a little more. So here comes the Picture Books about Emotion Management for Girls. The series contains five stories of five courageous little girls who were experiencing confusion in their lives. Little Le Fan in I am not Just a Good Girl tried to find the balance between two sides of herself—a cool girl and a good girl. Xiaoxiao in I love myself learned to be more confident and accepted her new look after her baby teeth fell out. Jiang in I'm so Jealous learned to deal with jealousy towards her best friend. A timid girl Xiao in I can Say No strived to express herself and stop the little boy's bullies. Feng in I Really Want to Win embraced her inner "tomboy" with daddy's encouragement. All the five little girls, though struggling, broke out of cultural and societal stereotypes swirling around them and became their true selves.

      Livestock Immunity to Ticks

      by Johann Schröder

      As arthropod ectoparasites, ticks threaten the wellbeing of the animals whose habitat they share. They cause skin damage from their bite wounds, secrete toxins, transmit pathogens, and can also induce allergic reactions and infected wounds. For more than a century, domestic animals have undergone chemical tick treatment as part of their husbandry routine. However, this reliance on chemicals is non-sustainable, and ignores the existence of other possible avenues of tick management. Covering recent developments in the field, this book considers avenues such as: - Managing infestations through both natural tick control and human intervention - Innate tick resistance - Naturally acquired adaptive immunity - Technological developments and successes such as vaccination schemes The book also takes into consideration the barriers any one of these solutions may face on the road to commercialization. Livestock Immunity to Ticks provides a comprehensive and up-to-date resource for researchers and students of immunology, parasitology and entomology.

      Semantic correlations

      Build Stronger Semantic and Vocabulary Skills Through Meaningful Word Relationships

      by Alice Kassotaki - Speech Language Pathologist MSc, BSc

      A visual and structured approach to concept categorization and word recall. Semantic Correlations, authored by speech-language pathologist Alice Kassotaki, MSc, BSc, is a carefully designed tool that helps children enhance their lexical and semantic processing abilities. Centered on the principle that new concepts are more easily acquired when linked to existing knowledge, this book guides learners through tasks that reinforce the understanding of semantic relationships and support immediate information recall. The activities unfold over two levels of difficulty. In the first, children are presented with three words, one of which does not belong to the studied category, allowing them to explore differences and establish common semantic properties. In the second, more advanced level, all three words fall within the same category, challenging learners to identify deeper similarities before classifying them. This progression fosters cognitive flexibility and semantic accuracy. Children work on skills such as vocabulary enrichment, receptive and expressive language, categorization, and semantic reasoning. By using hierarchical structures that show the transition from general to specific concepts, the book creates an intuitive visual guide that deepens comprehension. With translation rights available, Semantic Correlations is an ideal addition to any publisher’s special education or speech therapy collection.
