Three words. All it takes is three words, and Jackson could have the love of his life wrapped up in his arms. Instead, all he can do is get flustered at his name. Jackson is a musical prodigy, writing music for orchestras and talented singers. Every song he creates is a declaration for his lifelong friend Randy, but he'd never know it. Ever since Randy's heart was broken by his ex-fiancé, Randy doesn't believe in love. All Jackson can do is watch his best friend work in an ancient coffee shop and hope that one day, he'll have the strength to tell his best friend the truth. Randy, on the other hand, is a whole different man. With a natural air of confidence and dreams of owning his own coffee shop, he is wholly devoted to his job. There is a darker side however. With his life in shambles after his long-term relationship went wrong, he no longer believes in himself. To him, love is something that's only found in fairy tales. He doesn't expect it, and after all he's put on Jackson to help him recover, does he even want to try again? When secrets are told, Randy is forced to hurt the person who's been on his side from the beginning.In 'The Sounds of Love, ' Jackson is forced to rise above his fears and do his best to not only ask out the love of his life, but risk everything he's built over twenty long years. With tragedy looming over them both, is there a chance at true love at all, or will his heart continue to play alone in a desperate, coffee-stained dream of what could be?

"Maybe redemption is not a place you find, but a system of mapmaking. Sketch a land. Pencil in dragons. Imagine it real, resplendent, and broken under a waxing moon.Lessons and Carols is a genre-bending memoir that explores the aftershocks of alcoholism and mental illness through a fresh look at the powers of poetry, ritual, and community. As a new parent, West grapples with his own fragmented recovery and grief for the friends he lost to addiction, asking if anyone can really change, or if we are always bound to repeat the past. Echoing the form of a traditional Anglican Christmas service of stories and songs, West's lyrical prose invites readers into an unorthodox rendition of the liturgy called Lessons and Carols. Each December, a faithful circle of irreligious friends assembles to eat and sing and re-imagine an old story about love made flesh. In that gathering's glow, resentments turn to quiet wonder at the ways a better world can appear.Both tender and bracing, West's poetic meditation of the possibilities of change will resonate deeply with anyone who has tired of their own destructive loops. In this stirring account of recovery, redemption remains elusive-and also a promise as tangible as a newborn.Hardscrabble winter, gray and lonely, requires Christmas. Or, rather, in its depths, I require Christmas: words no longer cold, chrome, and barren, but alive, golden, cradled in my arms"--

Many pre-service teachers admit to feeling unsure about the mathematics they will have to teach in primary school. Others find it difficult to know how to apply the theories of teaching and learning they study in other courses to the teaching of mathematics. This book begins by outlining some of the key considerations of effective mathematics teaching and learning. These include understanding student motivation, classroom management, overcoming maths anxiety and developing a positive learning environment. The authors also introduce the curriculum and assessment processes, and explore the use of ICT in the maths classroom. Part B outlines in a straightforward and accessible style the mathematical content knowledge required of a primary teacher. The content extends beyond the primary level to Year 9 of the Australian Curriculum as, while primary teachers may not have to teach this content, knowing it is a key part of being a strong teacher and will assist pre-service teachers to meet the requirements of the LANTITE (the Literacy and Numeracy Test for Initial Teacher Education students). Featuring graphics and worked examples and using clear and friendly language throughout, this is the essential introduction for students wishing to begin teaching primary mathematics with confidence and enthusiasm.''The writing style is clean and uncomplicated; exactly what my maths education students need. The blend of theories, curriculum, planning, assessment and mathematical content knowledge strikes the balance that is missing in many texts.'' -- Dr Geoff Hilton, University of Queensland
