Excerpt from Educational Psychology The course of study which this book presents is designed for students of pedagogy in colleges and normal schools. It presupposes an elementary knowledge of psychology. In the earlier chapters, on the growth of structure, and of sensory and motor capacities, a certain amount of child psychology has been included. Not every item so included will be found applicable to teaching, but the aim has been to give to the student a general survey of the phenomena of growth. In later chapters, as on memory and reasoning, the procedure of certain class experiments has been reported in some detail, because they are not published elsewhere, and it may seem desirable to the instructor to duplicate them in laboratory exercises. The last three chapters take up some of the concrete questions of teaching in three quite dissimilar school subjects. They are intended to illustrate the way in which psychological applications can be made. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Set in Writungeard at Lyfthelm Tower, Temora Tempest faces a brewing crisis as Rider Marr threatens the realm and the Dreamers. Alongside her friends, she embarks on a quest to unveil his dark intentions and safeguard their world. The story blends adventure and friendship, highlighting the importance of courage in the face of danger.

Temora Murphy is eleven years old. She lives in an immaculate house, with a mother who wishes to control and mould her. The only other children she sees are the "shiny" girls her mother selects for her as friends. Girls who tease her for her size and shyness. Girls who call her "Puddingface". Temora wants more. Temora loves reading, books about adventure and magic. She finds these books in a black pearl box at the bottom of the garden, beneath the Bloodwood tree. She does not know how they come to be there or who sends them, and every time she thinks too hard about it, some strange impulse in her mind compels her to stop. The books help her to escape. But only so much. Then, at a party for her twelfth birthday, Temora Murphy makes another wish. And with that wish, Temora Tempest's life alters forever. Temora and the Wordsnatcher is a literary children's story; a portal fantasy work, featuring characters from multiple backgrounds and a protagonist who does not conform to societal standards of beauty, and who wishes to push against the constructs of what it means to be "feminine".

Leider löst sich ihre Clique auf, ihre perfekte Schwester hat Probleme, ihr großer Bruder leidet unter Depressionen, und die ganze Familie droht, daran zu zerbrechen. Clementine lässt sich nicht einschüchtern und versucht zu helfen, wo sie helfen kann – bis sie einsehen muss, dass jeder für sein eigenes Glück selbst verantwortlich ist und dass sie anderen auf den Weg helfen, sie aber nicht ans Ziel bringen kann … Sich selbst dagegen schon!
