Die Familie Gruenschnabel
eBook
These stories were written for people beginning to learn German – whether at school or adult evening classes. They focus around the day-to-day life of the (somewhat eccentric) Gruenschnabel family in a village in North Germany. The language used is the sort of modern informal language used by people in everyday life. The book is written in the present tense, in very simple sentences with no subordinate clauses and very few modal verbs. The excellent illustrations by Richard Duszczak support the reader in the process of understanding. These stories can be read for pleasure without the need to repeatedly refer to the dictionary. Elisabeth Bond was born in Germany but now lives in Suffolk, England. She has a wealth of expertise in teaching German. Christine has been learning German since 1997, and therefore knows first-hand what it’s like to learn the intricacies of the German language!

IBS: Take Control! Insights into Irritable Bowel Syndrome
This book approaches IBS from a new and exciting viewpoint – that of coping with IBS using concepts and skills based on the individual’s own psychological profile.
Although we know more about IBS than ever before, medical treatment alone is ineffective for many people with IBS, who are often left to cope with IBS as best they can. This book discusses the intricate way in which the mind/brain and body interact, in producing a different “IBS experience” for each person. As well as covering more traditional areas such as stress, anxiety and depression, the authors discuss the ways in which a chronic illness such as IBS might affect memory and IQ. The role of shame and embarrassment, attitudes and beliefs, are also discussed in relation to chronic illness in general and IBS in particular.
The book will be invaluable to anyone suffering from IBS (or their friends and relatives!), to gain a greater insight into this embarrassing and painful condition. It shows how sufferers can reduce the impact which their symptoms have on their day-to-day lives. Doctors, nurses and other health professionals will gain a greater understanding of this disorder, as complex psychological constructs are explained simply and with the aid of diagrams, questionnaires, and summaries of the latest research relating to chronic illness. The different ways people experience IBS are illustrated by accounts given by people suffering from the illness.
