Anxiety sufferers, as well as the health professionals and loved ones who support them, are often unaware of the true extent of their struggles. Family and friends misunderstand anxious people, believing they are lazy or lack initiative. Patients seek treatment for the symptoms of anxiety again and again, never addressing the underlying reasons for their disorder. This book covers the complexity of anxiety in everyday life, as well as its effect on happiness and achievement, told through the experiences of anxiety sufferers across life stages, from childhood through retirement years. The author uses scientific literature and 40+ years of clinical experience to describe the major anxiety disorders and to illuminate their scope. For anxiety sufferers, as well as their family members and medical professionals, this book provides solutions for dealing with anxiety before it becomes too overwhelming.

From Writing to Composing Second edition introduces high-beginner to low-intermediate students to the basics of formal writing in English. The Teacher's Manual contains unit overviews, as well as detailed descriptions of each activity, complete with useful teaching tips. The manual contains some additional material that teachers might use to supplement the Student's Book. A complete answer key to the Student's Book is provided.

One of the unique features of From Writing to Composing is the way it interweaves structured, guided writing activities with freer activities that use a multi-drafting process approach. This unusual combination of features for a high-beginning to low-intermediate writing book is retained in the second edition, along with many of the original, popular, lively, writing activities. However, the new edition does have some major changes. The second edition is now divided into two parts. The first part introduces students to different genres of writing, while each chapter in the second part teaches students how to write a paragraph using different modes of rhetorical organization, such as chronological organization to describe someone’s daily routing and enumeration to classify something into its different types. Also, throughout the book students are guided through a semester-long class writing project and are given other projects to do to build a portfolio of their work.
