My book is a book of poetry. I have always loved poetry as a child. When I was troubled, I would write, like keeping a diary. It was good therapy. These are my earliest poems. Putting together this book brought me back to my life when I was naive and unsure of different experiences. Some of the people and animals I've written about are no longer of this earth. Some ae still around.

This thesis, an explorative case study, provides insights into the implementation of inquiry-based learning in an authentic classroom. For one year, a teacher was accompanied while implementing inquiry-based learning in a highly diverse class. In doing so, the observations focused on strategies for both scaffolding and dealing with diversity. Additionally, data reflecting students' views of scientific inquiry were gathered. The results show a successive implementation of inquiry-based learning through four phases supported by various scaffolding strategies. The views of scientific inquiry are discussed on both the class and the individual level. Finally, all these findings are brought together to paint a vivid picture of the investigated class. Die vorliegende Arbeit, eine explorative Fallstudie, bietet einen Einblick in ein authentisches Klassenzimmer, in dem Forschendes Lernen eingeführt wurde. Dazu wurde eine Lehrperson ein Jahr lang begleitet. Die Beforschung fokussierte auf Lernbegleitungsstrategien, den Umgang mit Diversität sowie den Sichtweisen der Schülerinnen und Schüler über Naturwissenschaften. Die Resultate zeigen eine schrittweise Einführung von Forschendem Lernen in vier Phasen, begleitet von vielfältigen Lernbegleitungsstrategien. Schließlich werden alle Ergebnisse zusammengeführt, um ein lebendiges Bild des untersuchten Unterrichts und der Personen zu zeichnen.

This book fills not only a gap but a wide cavern....I can not think of a better way for neophyte nurses to engage the human experiences and perspectives of their patients, nor can I think of a more relevant and comprehensive explanation of the philosophy and methods of existential phenomenology for seasoned researchers, scientists, and theoreticians.-- Jacquelyn H. Flaskerud, PhD, RN, FAAN, UCLA School of Nursing. While addressing a wide readership, this book focuses particularly on the nurse clinician and student, demonstrating how a humanistic philosophy and research methodology has the potential to illuminate the deeper meanings of health crises and universal human experiences like pain and spiritual distress.

No mountain is this high is it was born out of my need, and want, to share my own personal experiences of a time when anxiety took a hold of my life. This book is a journey of a short period of time in my life, only a fi ve month period, when I could not explain what was happening with my mind and body, the highs and lows one experiences and the re-building, as I tried to get things back on track to a normality I had once known. Imagine if the things you took for granted, like driving, sitting in a meeting, standing talking to people or sitting in a restaurant were taken away from you. The things that you would do on a constant and regular basis were taken away from you, and instead were replaced by feelings of fear, anxiety and physical illness. For the past fi ve months, this is the journey I took trying to pin-point the exact cause, of these feelings, at each point scanning my brain to fi nd the reasons why, wanting just the feeling of inner strength I had only recently had. Had I always been like this or had this only surfaced in the past months? Will I ever re-gain my inner strength? Will I ever feel better again? These were the questions I constantly asked myself as I tried to fi nd the answers I so desperately wanted.

Joyful. Graceful. Blessed. Strong. Anxious. Depressed. Stigmatised. Stereotyped. What happens when motherhood isn't what you expected - and when you reach out for support, you are met with judgment and prejudice? Sandra Igwe shares her journey as a young Black mother, coping with sleepless nights, anxiety and loneliness after the birth of her first daughter. Burdened by cultural expectations of the 'good mother' and the 'strong Black woman' trope, her mental health struggles became an uphill battle. Black women are at higher risk of developing postnatal depression but are the least likely to be identified as depressed. Sharing the voices of other mothers, Sandra examines how culture, racism, stigma and a lack of trust in services prevent women getting the help they need. Breaking open the conversation on motherhood, race, and mental health, she demands that Black women are listened to, believed, and understood.
