        Every story describes a wish that Tyler makes, the steps he takes to obtain it, and the reason why he gladly grants it to a dear one. In "Tyler's Promised Gift" Tyler works hard to obey his mother's commands in anticipation of receiving his promised 'little red car". At his birthday party he offers the car to a younger, sad, and crying guest. In "Tyler's Baby Sister" Tyler tries to get his mother to focus her attention again on him instead of on his baby sister, Tia. Tyler finally realizes that helping his mother to give more care to Tia gave him the most satisfaction. In "Tyler's Acting Practice" Tyler spends hours perfecting his aim when using a slingshot. When he was finally ready to play the part of David in the school play "David and Goliath", he noticed that his friend Joel, who was new to the school this year, was being bullied and excluded from all games because he was missing the net whenever he tried to shoot a basketball. Heroically, Tyler offers the role of David to Joel when he learns that Joel excels at aiming pebbles with his slingshot. His plan to reverse the students' disrespect towards Joel succeeded when everyone in the school auditorium cheered Joel for his perfect aim at the helmet of Goliath. In "Tyler's Lunchbox Treat", Tyler could hardly wait for lunch break to bite into the krispy marshmallow treat his mother had baked for him.  When Tyler discovers that the sandwich of his lunch companion was missing, and that he couldn't share his peanut butter sandwich with him because his companion was allergic to peanuts, Tyler gives him his krispy marshmallow square. Tyler always feels like a winner at the end, and not at all a loser. Children and parents are happy to arrive at the ending of each story.

        Picture Books about Emotion Management for Boys
        Personal & social issues: self-awareness & self-esteem (Children's/YA)

        Picture Books about Emotion Management for Boys

        by Le Fan, Duan Zhang Qu Yi

        There is a pervading idea, both in the east and west, that "big boys don't cry". To reach some cultural ideal of a "real man", boys are too often pushed to be tough and stoic and suppress their emotions. The Picture Books about Emotion Management for Boys challenges this old tradition. Of course boys cry, and we should let them cry!   The series contains five books. I Want to Cry encourages boys to express their vulnerable feelings in appropriate ways. I Don't Want to Hit Back encourages boys to follow their hearts and stick up for themselves in the way they like. I am a Coward talks about self-acceptance. I Don't Want to be a Big Brother is for boys experiencing issues with new siblings. I Didn't Hear You talks about protecting boys' own little worlds.   All five stories came from author Le Fan's real experiences of raising two sons as a mother. While the books are certainly children's books, they could even be viewed as parent handbooks of sorts. The author has written their parents and other adults in little boys' eyes, and calls for parents and society to raise boys differently and understandingly so they can grow in positive, healthy ways.

        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.

        Field Guide to the Forest Trees of Uganda

        For Identification and Conservation

        by James Kalema, Alan Hamilton

        This book is a guide for the identification of the indigenous forest trees of Uganda. It will be useful for those who wish to contribute towards the conservation of the forests or to plant indigenous trees. Information is provided on how to propagate and cultivate about 80 of the most valuable species. Indigenous trees provide numerous resources useful for welfare and development. They include many types of timber and non-timber forest products, such as craft materials, foods and medicines. The proximity of indigenous forest helps to moderate the local climate, making it more suitable for agriculture. Indigenous forests protect springs, therefore safeguarding water supplies more effectively than exotic trees such as pines and eucalyptus. All 450 known indigenous tree species from the forests are included. Both scientific and local names are provided, the latter in 21 languages. Local names facilitate access to knowledge and values traditionally attached to the species, useful when planning pathways of development firmly rooted in local culture. The book will be invaluable for botanists, foresters, rural development workers and members of the general public concerned about contributing to conservation and sustainable development in Uganda. Many of the species grow in neighbouring countries, so the book has relevance there too.

        The Tree Boy

        by Srididhya Venkat and Nayantara Surendranath

        Sid is a lonely boy who detests idle, lonely trees. He has good reasons though. At least he likes to think so. He does not notice the friendship between the dangling leaves, dancing to the song of the wind. He ignores countless birds returning to the safety of their comfy homes, nestled in the soft spots of rough branches, after a long day of collecting worms. So when he is called a brainless tree for missing a save in soccer at school, it is easy for him to decide he never wants to be a tree, until one morning he wakes up to have transformed into one. Srividhya Venkat spins a delectable fantasy around thinking twice about what you wish for, or not and depicts the transformation of Sid’s lonely life after he embraces the excitable voices of kids twisted in his vines and the ecosystem hovering above him. Nayantara Surendranath’s eccentric combination of art collage and digital creation expresses the refreshing quirks that breathe life into the tale.

        Conversations about Ukraine

        by Yaroslav Hrytsak, Izabella Khruslinska

        This is the third book in a series of conversations between Iza Khruslinska and Ukrainian intellectuals. The first two books were with Oksana Zabuzhko and Yosyf Zisels. The one with Yaroslav Hrytsak, although, is chronologically the first book. It was first published in Polish language in 2009. The main topic of the conversation with Yaroslav Hrytsak is the suitability of history for understanding what is going on in Ukraine in recent decades. Special emphasis is placed on Ukraine's relations with its historical neighbors – Poles and Russians, as well as Ukrainian-Jewish relations. But first of all, it is about the historical dimension of the current problems and challenges that Ukraine is facing - and to what extent knowledge of history makes it possible to understand future development scenarios. Since the Polish edition was published almost ten years ago, many things in this book have been rethought and rewritten, in particular, a new chapter has appeared on the development of events over the most recent decade.

        Know Us 1. Know me again. June & Kian

        by Jette Menger, Moon Notes

        June ist aufgeregt und nervös zugleich: Kian, ihr bester Freund aus der Schulzeit, kehrt nach sieben Jahren aus Australien zurück und zieht zu ihr in die WG. Beide haben sich verändert – Kian ist nicht mehr der pummelige Junge von damals, sondern ein attraktiver Mann mit Muskeln und Tattoos, und June, die einst lebhaft und selbstbewusst war, ist nun schüchtern und zurückhaltend. Trotz der Zeit, die sie getrennt verbracht haben, und der Veränderungen, die sie durchgemacht haben, ist die Anziehung zwischen ihnen sofort spürbar. Doch es ist nicht einfach, dort weiterzumachen, wo sie aufgehört haben. Die Vergangenheit und ihre Geheimnisse werfen lange Schatten auf die Gegenwart, und June findet sich hin- und hergerissen zwischen ihren wachsenden Gefühlen für Kian und der Angst vor den Schatten, die ihre gemeinsame Vergangenheit auf ihre mögliche Zukunft wirft. Als Kian beginnt, sich in Junes Alltagsleben zu integrieren, flammen alte Gefühle wieder auf, und es entsteht eine zarte Romanze, die jedoch von Unsicherheiten und unausgesprochenen Wahrheiten belastet wird. Beide müssen lernen, mit ihren veränderten Selbstbildern umzugehen und herausfinden, ob ihre Beziehung stark genug ist, um die Geheimnisse der Vergangenheit zu überwinden. Ihre Reise ist geprägt von Momenten intensiver Nähe und Vertrautheit, aber auch von Missverständnissen und Konflikten, die aus dem mangelnden Mut resultieren, offen miteinander zu kommunizieren. June und Kian stehen vor der Herausforderung, nicht nur sich selbst und ihre Beziehung zueinander neu zu definieren, sondern auch zu entscheiden, wie viel sie bereit sind, für eine gemeinsame Zukunft zu riskieren. Fesselnde, emotionale Liebesgeschichte von June und Kian, die nach Jahren der Trennung wieder zueinanderfinden. Ihre neu entflammten Gefühle stellen sie vor große Herausforderungen und Entscheidungen. Erlebe, wie sich die Hauptcharaktere von ihrer Vergangenheit lösen und durch ihre Erlebnisse wachsen. June und Kian zeigen, dass wahre Liebe Mut zur Veränderung und Offenheit erfordert. Die Autorin Jette Menger entführt die Leser in eine Welt voller intensiver Gefühle, geheimer Wünsche und der Sehnsucht nach Verständnis und Akzeptanz. Spannendes Setting in der malerischen Stadt Bath bildet die perfekte Kulisse für diese berührende Geschichte, in der alte Freundschaften neu entdeckt und verborgene Geheimnisse aufgedeckt werden. Das ständige Hin und Her zwischen Annäherung und Rückzug hält die Spannung bis zum Schluss aufrecht und spiegelt die Komplexität menschlicher Beziehungen wider. Neben der Liebesgeschichte werden wichtige Themen wie Selbstfindung, Verarbeitung von Vergangenheitstraumata und die Bedeutung echter Freundschaft behandelt. Geschrieben aus zwei Perspektiven bietet die Geschichte einen tiefen Einblick in die Gedanken- und Gefühlswelt beider Protagonisten, was sie besonders authentisch und nachvollziehbar macht. Auftakt einer mitreißenden Reihe: "Know Us 1. Know me again" ist der Beginn einer Reihe, die Lust auf mehr macht und Leser*innen gespannt auf die Fortsetzungen warten lässt. Ideal geeignet für Leser*innen, die komplexe Charakterbeziehungen, emotionale Achterbahnfahrten und herzzerreißende Momente lieben.

        Concepts for Understanding Fruit Trees

        by Theodore M. DeJong

        Anyone who observes fruit trees may wonder how or why they behave in specific ways. Some trees grow upright whilst others are more spreading in habit. Some produce many flowers and small immature fruit only to drop most of the fruit later on; others grow more on their sunny side than their shady side. It is common to ascribe such behavior to the tree as a whole and state that trees preferentially "allocate" resources to specific organs. However, this is the wrong approach to understanding tree functioning and behavior. Trees are not in control of what they do. What trees do and how they function is shaped by the individual organs that make up the tree, not by the tree as a whole. The genetic code only indirectly determines the habit, structure and behavior of a tree by defining the behavioral and functional limits of the component organs, tissues and cells. Unlike animals that have a mechanism for collective control of the whole organism - a central nervous system - trees (and plants in general) are more appropriately considered as collections of semi-autonomous organs. These organs are dependent on one another for resources, such as water, energy and nutrients, but control their own destiny. This book presents a clear set of integrative concepts for understanding the overall physiology and growth of temperate deciduous fruit trees. The emphasis is on overarching principles rather than detailed descriptions of tree physiology or differences among the numerous species of fruit trees. Although the focus is on deciduous fruit trees many aspects apply to evergreen fruit trees and trees that grow naturally in unmanaged situations. Highly relevant for students and researchers in pomology, horticulture and plant sciences, the book is also suitable for practitioners, extension staff, and novice fruit tree growers.

This book covers all aspects of coconut including origins and diversity; ecophysiology; production in a changing climate; pests and diseases; harvest and postharvest management; breeding and genetics; as well as the current and future status of coconut as an economic crop. This book is a key resource for researchers and students in horticulture, plant science and agriculture, and those interested in the production of tropical crops, and practitioners in the coconut industry.
