Book Description
Each story in this collection begins with an undesirable or out-of-balance situation and, through the use of metaphor and an imaginative story, leads to a more desirable resolution. In this way, the stories also have the potential for nurturing positive values. The stories cover many kinds of common behaviors. Following the alphabet from A to Z, the behavior is identified within the story titles--anxious, bossy, cranky, greedy, jealous, lazy, swearing, lack of cooperation, and more. These stories can be told as-is or adapted to the situation. They can also be made into homemade picture books or puppet shows or used as inspiration to create new tales for particular behavior challenges and situations.

Tall Tales about the Mind and Brain

Author: Sergio Della Sala
Publisher: Oxford University Press
ISBN: 0191665843
Category : Psychology
Languages : en
Pages :

Book Description
Does listening to Mozart make us more intelligent? Is there such a thing as a gay gene? Does the size of the brain matter? Does the moon influence our behaviour? Can we communicate with the dead? Can graphology tell us anything about a person's character? Is the human brain clonable? What role do dreams have in cognition? Can mind conquer matter and diseases? Are out-of-body experiences possible? Can we trust our intuitions? To some, the answer to all these questions might well be a resounding 'no', but to many people these represent serious beliefs about the mind and brain - beliefs that drive their everyday behaviour, beliefs that cost them huge amounts of money. Whole industries have developed founded on these dubious claims about the mind and brain. Even major corporations have dabbled with assessment methods such as those advocated by graphology, accepting and rejecting candidates on the basic of their handwriting. Expectant parents buy books and tapes by the dozen showing them how to improve the intelligence of their child by playing them classical music. People subscribe to expensive therapies founded on beliefs rather than science, or risk their health buying books that tell them how they can conquer illness through positive thinking, perhaps at the expense of more scientifically proven treatments. Tall Tales about the Mind and Brain presents a sweeping survey of common myths about the mind and brain. In a lighthearted and accessible style, it exposes the truth behind these beliefs, how they are perpetuated, why people believe them, and why they might even exist in the first place.

Short Stories A-Z

Author: Carmel Liddell
Publisher: Austin Macauley Publishers
ISBN: 1398492191
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 221

Book Description
This collection includes fiction, fantasy, and horror stories, all underpinned by humour. So, whilst eavesdropping on the hearts and minds of the protagonists within, feel free to chuckle as you cheer the goodies and boo the baddies. Or vice-versa... None of the characters is drop-dead gorgeous, has perfect teeth, or is living the dream with their one true love. No. These characters are muddling through life like the rest of us which means some stories may seem familiar – perhaps a little too close to the bone. Some are irreverent and others, downright disturbing. Nevertheless, whatever your reaction, whatever you feel, the stories tell things the way they were and without judgement. Fair enough?
