About the Book A combination of life experiences, love, hope, strength, and grieving, #WalterStrong is as the title suggests: one family’s desperate attempt to save their cat, Walter, from cancer. Discover the special—and unusual!—bond between a man and his cat; how he loved and was loved more than words can describe; the “GOAT” (Greatest of All Time) Feline. Come along with David I. Antokal and his wife on a rollercoaster ride as they fight like hell to save their fur-baby, providing protection and a voice to the voiceless, and learn from their experiences. In sharing their journey, Antokal hopes to educate readers on the challenges of vet care when dealing with potentially terminal illness, as well as provide solace for those whose fur-babies may be facing a potentially life-ending experience, and for those who may have said or be in the process of saying goodbye to their beloved fur-babies. To all veterinarian readers, he offers a reminder that people put a lot of faith and trust in their work along with the expectation of top-notch and cutting-edge medical care. Because our “pets” are not just pets. They’re family. About the Author David I. Antokal was born in Brooklyn, NY, and has lived in many states over the course of his life. Married to a wonderful woman with a big heart, he and his wife are avid animal lovers and advocates for animal rights, and the pair had three fur-babies at the time this book was started. Now, they have only one beautiful cat. Antokal has worked in the medical field for most of his adult life. He currently works in the field of anesthesia.

What an intensely divisive election portends for American politics The year 2020 was a tumultuous time in American politics. It brought a global pandemic, protests for racial justice, and a razor-thin presidential election outcome. It culminated in an attack on the U.S. Capitol that attempted to deny Joe Biden’s victory. The Bitter End explores the long-term trends and short-term shocks that shaped this dramatic year and what these changes could mean for the future. John Sides, Chris Tausanovitch, and Lynn Vavreck demonstrate that Trump’s presidency intensified the partisan politics of the previous decades and the identity politics of the 2016 election. Presidential elections have become calcified, with less chance of big swings in either party’s favor. Republicans remained loyal to Trump and kept the election close, despite Trump’s many scandals, a recession, and the pandemic. But in a narrowly divided electorate even small changes can have big consequences. The pandemic was a case in point: when Trump pushed to reopen the country even as infections mounted, support for Biden increased. The authors explain that, paradoxically, even as Biden’s win came at a time of heightened party loyalty, there remained room for shifts that shaped the election’s outcome. Ultimately, the events of 2020 showed that instead of the country coming together to face national challenges—the pandemic, George Floyd’s murder, and the Capitol riot—these challenges only reinforced divisions. Expertly chronicling the tensions of an election that came to an explosive finish, The Bitter End presents a detailed account of a year of crises and the dangerous direction in which the country is headed.

The Oxford Handbook of Cognitive Analytic Therapy presents a comprehensive guide to the cognitive analytic therapy (CAT) model. It balances established theory and practice alongside a focus on innovation in both direct work with clients and the application of CAT more broadly within teams, organizations, and training, and as a model for leadership. The volume includes a range of innovations in 'doing' and 'using' CAT, which are directly applicable for those studying and working in health, social care, and private services, across many specialties encompassing the entire lifespan. This includes child and adolescent services; working age through to older adults; individuals engaged with mental health services and within forensic and prison populations; and those experiencing physical health and neurological difficulties, both in community and inpatient settings. Given the social and dialogic origins of CAT, the book acknowledges the importance of the wider social, cultural, and political factors that can shape an individual's understanding of self and other, with chapters that both apply a CAT understanding to key issues such as racism and social context, and provide a critique to the extent in which CAT engages with these issues in practice. This volume also has a focus on professional standards and governance (encompassing training, supervision, and a competency framework), and throughout the book the editors have endeavoured to include clients' voices, including personal reflections, extracts from actual CATs, and co-produced chapters, to ensure the book holds true to the collaborative nature of CAT.

This valuable resource for early childhood education students and practitioners provides a broad view of the concepts and issues in early childhood curriculum.
