Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "We are your typical boomer nana and papa," say authors Kathryn and Allan Zullo, "younger, healthier, wealthier, and better educated than our grandparents. We are more active and less formal than our own parents were at our age. We no longer fit the traditional image of our elderly kin." That description signals the need for a new kind of grandparenting, a role that The Nanas and the Papas fills to perfection.This completely reworked and updated version is now half again as large as the original. "Most boomer grandparents work hard and lead vigorous, often stressful, lives where time is a precious commodity," say the Zullos. The Nanas and the Papas helps grandparents relieve the stress of grandparenting and make the most of limited time.Top grandparenting experts cited throughout the book tailor their guidance and recommendations to fit the boomer sensibility, covering topics such as:o How to define the grandparenting role for a new generationo The latest trends in child careo How to work in harmony with your children and their spouseso High-tech grandparentingo Ways to make the most of time alone with grandchildreno Grandparenting and the single-parent householdo Grandparents caring for their own parentsFilled with expert advice, The Nanas and the Papas provides a smooth transition into grandparenting and sets the stage for successful relationships and experiences for the entire family.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Picturebook," spelled as a single word to identify its unique qualities and to differentiate the genre from other books with illustrations, is one that tells a story either in pictures alone or in almost equal partnership with text. The picturebook has great potential for bridging the differences among us; the concept of a story is one common to all, a shared experience that sets the stage for communication. And the goal of multiculturalism is to emphasize the positive attributes of human society, the outstanding, rather than the stereotype. Because children born today will interact with people from different cultures much more than previous generations, it is important that they are taught about other cultures, starting at a young age. Multicultural picturebooks are, therefore, an excellent teaching tool for meeting this educational challenge. The picturebooks profiled are appropriate for children in grades K - 4 but can be used with older children, depending on the curriculum and the students' comprehension level. Books covering Asia and the Pacific, The Middle East, Africa, South America, North America (Native Americas, Inuit, etc.), and books specific to the immigrant experience are profiled. Each book is described in one paragraph that includes an engaging review of the story line, special features of the content, the look and style of the artwork, interior design, and layout of the book. The authors emphasize that the visual qualities of picturebooks affect their ability to tell stories about people whose values and behaviors are different from those of the reader. The analyses, therefore, used in selecting the books include not only the informational content, but also the emotional content--the feelings generated by the text and art. In choosing books for this volume, the authors have used the following criteria: ]Does the book tell an engaging story?]Do the illustrations convincingly portray and represent humans, animals, and objects?]Is the use of the media consistent?]Do the text and the pi

Solidly grounded in the latest theory and research, much of which is relevant to other Latina/o groups as well, The Handbook of Chicana/o Psychology and Mental Health is an indispensable source of up-to-date information and guidance for mental health and education professionals, their trainees and students; and for social and behavioral scientists interested in the impact of cultural differences in multicultural settings.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "An acute and impassioned observer, Rita Arditti describes Argentina's 'dirty war' years and the heroic struggle of a group of Argentine grandmothers who set out, against all odds, to trace the whereabouts of their disappeared children and grandchildren. Admirably comprehensive, Searching for Life reminds us how ordinary citizens can stand up to tyranny and prevail. Even today, the evidence collected by this tenacious group of detectives has led to the arrest of one of the military junta leaders, General Jorge Videla. The Grandmothers of the Plaza de Mayo are truly the unsung heroes of our time."—E ric Stover, Director, Human Rights Center, University of California, Berkeley "The power of RIta Arditti's Searching for Life lies in its thorough, incontrovertible information, and the irrefutable condition of historical truths. Her book is living, faithful and incorruptible monument that protects us against the dangers of forgetting. Her account is an indispensable weapon for those of us who have been protagonists, and as a way to awaken those who were spectators and those who have opted for the comforts of blindness."—Alicia Kozameh, author of Steps Under Water

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: On a hot June day, Liliana, a brilliant, young woman of Native American, Hispanic and Anglo-Saxon heritage is irresistibly drawn to a cowboy despondently leaning on his truck on the side of the highway as she drives home to Grants. "Reflections of Love and Loathing" takes place in New Mexico, where Liliana loses her loving parents when she is five. Secret resources enable her abusive, alcoholic grandmother, Carla, to keep her; so Liliana is forced to live with the persistent stalking of a serial pedophile, Joe, who is her great-grandfather. When Terry sees her recklessly cross the highway to come to his aid, he begins the wild ride into Liliana's life. After meeting Carla and Joe, he has his doubts about being with Liliana, but soon he realizes that love binds him to her. After driving Terry to his destination in Texas, Liliana learns that Carla has accused her of killing Joe and flees in panic. She wakes to find herself broken and alone; her truck wrecked in a deep arroyo. Only her love for Terry gives her the strength to fight for survival in the flashflood that threatens to finish her off and only Terry's mysterious link to her allows him to find and rescue her. While she lies broken in the hospital, Terry learns of the perversions and misuse of power that maintained multigenerational sexual abuse that destroyed the lives of three generations of women and dominated Liliana's life with Carla. Then begins Liliana's true challenge. As her body heals, she will have to rise above the emotional damage caused by Carla and the nightmare mirror image of Joe that tempts her to drive Terry away rather than face her fears and believe that she is worthy of Terry's love. The most difficult challenge of all.

And can he seduce her before she disappears?

Book excerpt: Liliana had always been interested in exploring the forest near her home, but her parents had said that she was too young to venture there. Now, at twelve years of age, she believes that she is old enough to explore the mysteries of the forest. She feels confident that even if she goes alone, her bamboo fan that her mother gave her would help guide her. Then, she finds out that her mother is ill and has gone away to be treated. What has made her mother ill? Where is she currently being treated? What mysteries lie in the forest? Slowly, Liliana begins to uncover information, partly by discovering a magnificent and magical tree in the forest that she knows is the center of the mysteries. She also realizes that her fan plays an important role, but she is still unsure how. As her mother becomes more and more ill, Liliana must find out what ails her mother and possibly help heal her. She also wants to discover the mystery of her heritage, which is mixed into everything that is happening… But time is running short. Will Liliana solve the mysteries and act upon these discoveries before it's too late?

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Parenting and Childhood Memories is a collection of stories about the ways in which parents’ childhood memories influence their current interactions with their babies and young children: the ghosts and magic of our minds. This book explores the underlying meanings of parents’ memories that emerge in their perceptions of their children and their responses to the challenges of early development and the everyday life stresses of parenting. Drawing on extensive material originating in mother-child groups and parent consultations, the author demonstrates that parents’ emotional growth and ability to nurture their young children's emotional health is promoted by uncovering the links between the past and the present and unearthing the underlying meanings of seemingly inexplicable behavior. This original book, grounded in long-established psychoanalytic ideas, is about moments in early development and parent-child interaction that tell this story. Offering useful insights, readers will be intrigued by the details of the therapeutic process described and be inspired by the outcomes. This book will appeal to psychoanalysts, therapists, mental health professionals, and parents.
