From the earliest roots of advertising to the undercover marketers of the 21st century, this revealing book shows readers where ads come from, how they work, and why kids need to be informed. Bursting with real-life examples, thought-provoking questions, hip illustrations, and plenty of tips to empower young consumers, Made You Look is every kid’s ultimate guide to the advertising universe.Read more

The sign vocabulary includes:
King, Charles, 3rd, Coronation, Parade, Westminster Abbey, Street, Party, Cake, Picnic, Family, Friends, Horse, Gold, Carriage, Buckingham Palace, Royal Family, British, Flag, Red, White, Blue.These are again listed with written descriptions in a Glossary at the back of the book along with the Fingerspelling Alphabet and Handshape Key.

AUSLAN FINGERSPELLING FOR TOTS: Little Beginner’s Handbook: Australian Sign Language (LET’S SIGN)
Fingerspelling is a valuable life skill that many adults can still remember from learning in their childhood decades earlier.
Each letter of the alphabet is represented on the hands, providing a direct link to English and literacy that is not only vital for deaf children and youngsters with additional communication and language needs, but can potentially benefit all youngsters from infancy onwards.This colourful little resource includes
- Outline of the role of fingerspelling in Australian Sign Language
- Clearly illustrated handshapes and positions with two separate views
- One letter per page with ‘reader view from front’ and ‘signers own hands’
- Includes examples of signs based on fingerspelling
- Sample short words to practice
- Large graphics and text
- Supported by the Let’s Sign series for learners
- Useful for learners of Auslan and Sign Supported English (SSE)
Designed to encourage the use of fingerspelling from an early age and demonstrates two views of each letter – as the viewer sees it from the front and as the signer sees it on their own hands.
Switching hands and trying to work out which hand is which is common with learners and
having both views is helpful in establishing good signing practice.Fingerspelling is an important and integrated part of Auslan and represents each letter of the alphabet on the hands. It can be used to spell out whole words, abbreviated forms or initials.
It can be easily learned but needs a lot of practice to read back and to develop fluency in producing the rhythms and patterns.For consistency in this resource, all the graphics depict the letters as formed by a right-handed signer. Left-handed signers will use the reverse mirror image of this.

Quantum Computing from Colossus to Qubits: The History, Theory, and Application of a Revolutionary Science
The revolution is here. In breakthrough after breakthrough, pioneering physicists are unlocking a new quantum universe which provides a better representation of reality than our everyday experiences and common sense ever could. The birth of quantum computers – which, like Schrödinger’s famous dead-and-alive cat, rely on entities like electrons existing in a mixture of states – is starting to turn the computing world on its head.
In his fascinating study of this cutting-edge technology (first published as Computing with Quantum Cats and now featuring a new foreword), John Gribbin updates his previous views on the nature of quantum reality, arguing for a universe of many parallel worlds where ‘everything is real’. Looking back to Alan Turing’s work on the Enigma machine and the first electronic computer, Gribbin explains how quantum theory developed to make quantum computers work in practice as well as in principle. He takes us beyond the arena of theoretical physics to explore their practical applications – from machines which learn through ‘intuition’ and trial and error to unhackable laptops and smartphones. And he investigates the potential for this extraordinary science to allow communication faster than light and even teleportation, as we step into a world of infinite possibility.
