2021Pharmacology Workbook
Practice, revise, consolidate
by Annette Thomas and Nadine Sprecher
Pharmacology imparts knowledge about the effects and use of drugs in humans. Knowledge of anatomy, physiology and the development of diseases are also part of the subject matter. However, the abundance of facts can quickly make the head spin. Approaching the subject like a game helps to make it easier to grasp and anchor what has been learnt permanently in the memory, so it can then be confidently used in the day-to-day pharmacy routine. This is where the Pharmacology Workbook comes into play! A whole arsenal of entertaining tasks awaits the reader: crosswords, word and picture puzzles, word search games, “fill in the blanks” quizzes, puzzle games and case examples from pharmacy practice. The section “Linked together, reliably memorised” helps to connect knowledge. “Now it gets tricky” encourages the reader to engage with the material more intensively, while under “Making revision fun” there are tips and suggestions for learning in a group. This work is based on the sequence of chapters in the textbook Pharmacology. But of course, whether pharmaceutical technician, returnee or even pharmacy intern, all can have fun practising, revising and deepening their pharmacological knowledge with the Pharmacology Workbook.

Children's & YAThe Little Honey Bee and Friends
by Friederun Reichenstetter/ Hans-Günther Döring
Bees, butterflies, ladybirds! So many insects are out and about in our native meadows. This puzzle book is full of little informative texts, animal stickers and pictures to colour in which not only educate but also promote early awareness about the environment and conservation. The pedagogical concept works through age-appropriate tasks and a clear structure: true-to-nature picture book illustrations on the left-hand side with a short factual text that can be read aloud or independently, plus a quiz question, then on the right-hand side are stickers and a puzzle to colour in. Testing knowledge is good. But this goes further: encouraging children to be inquisitive and imaginative about nature. At the end each animal sticker book with the little honey bee will look different. However you want it to be.

Care of the elderlyOctober 2014Reminiscing our Heritage
The 70s to the Millennium
by Danny Walsh
This book is designed to be used by anybody working with older adults in residential, nursing and day care facilities. It provides a wealth of reminiscence material which can be used in a number of ways to rekindle memories and provide stimulating activity such as quizzes and discussion. Each year covered in the book is divided into the sections ‘Major events’, ‘On the home front’, ‘Music’, ‘Television’, ‘Screen and page’, ‘Sport’ and ‘Do you remember?’. Many sections can be easily turned into quizzes and it would be simple to form a quiz from each year’s material. One cannot cover all that happened in these years nor highlight all the associations each event or fact triggers, so the material is intended to be expanded on by the memories it triggers in clients during discussion. So, for example, where a film title is mentioned ask if people can recall the stars of the film, its plot and how it ended. The ‘Major events’ section will trigger lots of opinions too as it covers the political events of the decades so try to get the groups to discuss the ethical and moral dilemmas these posed at the time. The book is intended for use with individuals and groups but you will discover that in a group one persons memories will trigger anothers and so what seems like a small topic can last for the whole session as we all try to tell our personal tales. While the content has a UK bias, it also covers the major world events of the decades but I have included a blank page for each year for you to record your own personal landmarks and achievements and also those of your local town or community.

The Colours of World Football
by John Chandler
In Picking Up the Threads, John Chandler has assembled an eye-opening, well researched yet agreeably light-hearted look at the weird and wonderful stories behind the history of various teams’ football strips, and how clubs came to choose their characteristic kit. One hundred and fifty clubs are covered in all, including every English and Scottish Premier and English Football League side – each featuring an illustration of a club legend sporting the colours in question. The whys and wherefores behind these worldwide strips will provide any kit aficionado with all the ammo they need for countless pub quizzes and watercooler conversations. Do you know which Premier League club’s blue shirts are a hangover from post-war rationing? Which team's current kit was 'brought home' after a summer playing as Dallas Tornadoes? Or which London club's kit reflects the blue of Scotland, and the origin of the workers in the original jam factory side?

Humour collections & anthologiesFOOTYNOTES - THE ULTIMATE COUNTDOWN - CHRIS KAMARA
The Ultimate Countdown of Football Trivia
by Chris Kamara
This book is the result of many Friday evenings during the football season when Chris Kamara, preparing himself for commentaries the following day, and Richard Digance met up for a few beers and long chats about the sport they love. Either at Richard's house in the south when Kammy was at Frattan Park or St Mary's the following day, or at Kammy's house in Wakefield where Richard would stop off en route to filming his numerous appearances on Channel 4's Countdown, they began piecing together the content for this book of football trivia. Kammy is one of the most popular of Sky's football pundits as well as being an ex-player and manager at the top level. Richard enjoys the same passion for football having been a director of Yeovil Town and a lifelong fan of West Ham his place of birth.The two football trivia fans apologise for any inaccuracies which they blame on the late hours or the empty cans as they researched this book long into the night on many occasions. Not all trivia can be totally true but they both stress nothing was intentionally made up apart from the fact that Chris Kamara played 100 times for England and has more money than Roman Abramovich and that Richard married one of The Spice Girls before turning down a lucrative deal with Leyton Orient.Footynotes: The Ultimate Countdown of Football Trivia is packed full of the best footie trivia which is sure to enhance the reader's standing at dinner parties, on football terraces and at pub quizzes.
