Arts and Crafts Furniture

The Craftsman-style furniture of Gustav Stickley has enjoyed an astonishing resurgence in popularity. Here Blair Howard presents fifteen projects, which represent not only the work of the most famous members of the movement, but also of such notable designers as Oscar Onken and Charles Limbert. Howard gives solid, concise information on how to choose lumber and obtain hardware, what tools to use, how to make the joints, and how to apply a finish. Each project contains step-by-step instructions, together with measured drawings and a bill of materials.

Understanding Children's Literature

This book introduces the study of children's literature, addressing theoretical questions as well as the most relevant critical approaches to the field.
The fourteen chapters draw on insights from academic disciplines ranging from cultural and literary studies to education and psychology, and include an essay on what writers for children think about their craft.

The Healing Power of Play

Children traumatized by either abuse or neglect have special therapeutic needs. They can be difficult to engage for a variety of reasons: many have been frightened into silence and many have had their trust in adults betrayed; they may be hostile and acting out; and, if young, they may lack the sophistication of language or sexual terminology to clearly impart what has occurred. Whether or not children know how to communicate directly with a therapist, all children know how to play. This book describes how therapists can both facilitate constructive play therapy and intervene in posttraumatic play to help children who have been traumatized by abuse or neglect achieve a positive resolution.

The book combines theory with a practical how-to approach for treating abused children. Traditional techniques of play therapy are reviewed for their application to this population. Special emphasis is given to posttraumatic play in two ways. First, because rigid posttraumatic play can... The Healing Power of Play
