A word of mouth bestseller which has become one of the best loved
and most successful books in the parenting field. With around 20%
new material, Steve Biddulph’s Raising Boys includes some
startling new research on what helps – and what harms – boys.
In this expanded and updated edition, Steve Biddulph shares and
gives practical and honest advice to parents so they can recognise
the different stages of boyhood and learn how to raise happy,
confident and kind young men. Boys need to be parented in a
different way from girls with their own very special psychological
and physical make-up. Home, society and education have failed boys
badly – and these failures lead to unhappy men who cannot fully
become happy, responsible, emotionally-confident adults. While it
is essential that boys spend more time learning about manhood from
their fathers, Biddulph updates his classic to include helpful
information for mothers and single mothers with baby boys. This
extended edition explores some important topics: . • How ADHD may
be caused by stress in the first year of life. • Whether boys
should start school later than girls. • How important it is to
let boys cry, and how crying helps avoid violence, suicide, and
risky behaviour. • Two completely new stages of boyhood we
didn’t know about: the FULL ON FOURS and the EMOTIONAL EIGHTS •
Help for single mothers raising sons. • How to choose a sport
that does more good than harm. • What we can do about boys and
binge drinking. • What science can tell us about teenage boys and
driving – and how we can keep our sons safe. Raising Boys offers
parents real-life situations, thought-provoking insights, humour
and help.
Through stories and anecdotes, Jay Barber takes the reader into the
world he once knew, a world the present generation can hardly
believe existed only a few decades ago. Barber left that world at
the age of 18 seeking to find a better one, but the memories of his
youth and that place stuck to him like the waterline on the trees
in the Islands swamps. He shares his childhood in Memories of the
Islands while recording a history of the Barber family in Martin
County, North Carolina, and their struggles to survive the Great
Depression, the flood of 1940, and a number of family tragedies.
Looking back, he realizes that his two worlds were connected like
the swamps and the islands where he grew up. Factual and honest
about the times and events, Memories of the Islands will pull at
your heart strings and make you laugh, and it will jog the memory
of the older generation about a time that was. Memories of the
Islands is a book for all ages and for all times.

Quitting addiction to any substance, whether alcohol, cocaine,
tranquilizers, heroin, tobacco, or one of the lesser known, is most
frequently a very difficult process. Most of them are varied forms
of the Alcoholics Anonymous "12 Step Program." Virtually all of
them report at best 50% success and more commonly only 10% "
sobriety one year from treatment. Dr. Neher has worked with several
types of "treatment" programs and found that they lacked two
important elements. He found that when they included these two in
any of them, more than 90% maintained their sobriety after one
year. It should be noted that tracking patients (or clients) longer
is almost impossible to do on a regular basis. However, 95% of
those few who had the benefit of the two elements and who have been
able to be followed, maintained their sobriety for the next five or
more years. This book covers these, two critical elements, in
detail.
Examining all the major research data since the 1940s, this book
challenges two orthodox medical models: HIV as the cause of AIDS,
and random genetic mutations as the cause of cancer. Based on the
recent findings from Evolutionary Biology and Nitric Oxide
research, it presents a fundamentally new understanding of the
human cell, its double genome split between the cell nucleus and
the mitochondria, and the role of energy production and signal
modulation for immune reactions and carcinogenesis. Finally, it
explains the concept of a new Cell Symbiosis Therapy[registered]
for the treatment of all chronic diseases, including cancer. Now
available in English for the first time, this book is a must-read
for doctors, patients and anyone following the cutting edge of
biology and immunology. With the blasting open of such doors of
knowledge, the medical world will never again be the same.

Drinking has become recognized as one of the most important
problems facing today's college student. Even though college
drinking has increased only modestly over the past few decades,
concern about its health, behavioral, and safety consequences has
risen rapidly. This book examines college drinking as a social
problem within higher education, based on interviews with many
leading figures engaged in addressing the problem. It explains how
high-risk drinking is defined, and assesses the evidence about how
many students are binge drinkers and what kinds of behavioral and
health problems they have as a consequence. The book also answers
the crucial questions of why students binge drink and what mixture
of personal and environmental factors produce binge drinking. The
complex links to campus crime and sexual assault are discussed
fully. Key practical questions about effective prevention programs
and countermeasures are discussed in detail. Students and parents
can take action to lower the risk of binge drinking by following
the book's recommendations and by consulting its appendix, which
explains how to use institutional data about alcohol violations and
crime, which is available for several thousand colleges. Likewise,
administrators, trustees, and faculty will find a full discussion
of the scope of the problem and what can be done about it.
The information presented in this book is dedicated to helping you,
the patient, take 'control' of your dental and oral health care. To
empower you with the indispensable confidence to follow your
'common sense' and be able to say: "Wait a minute . . ." As a
potential patient, you must look upon the practice of modern
dentistry as comprising more than just simple 'drill and fill'
dental care; as this is the work of a technician. The dental
profession is composed of educated doctors who have 'supposedly'
been trained to provide their patients with comprehensive oral
health care; the question facing the public is whether these
dentists do, in fact, provide this level of responsible care for
their patients. And, if they don't, how can you tell and, what can
you do about it. Experience a provocative 'journey' into an area
previously reserved for: 'Doctors Only' and, unlock the secrets
which will challenge the proverbial 'status quo' embraced by most
health care professionals.
