Analyzes the influence of technology and social media on human development with parents and families in mind. This is a story about a family coming of age at the same time as smartphones and social media; a multiracial family coming into its own as windows into social injustice opened up before our very screens; and a multi-parent multi-professional family with children living differently depending on which house and which combination of family members happen to be home. While it is a story about a family, it is really the story of technological and global changes unfolding on our doorsteps. While many revile the ascendance of smartphones and social media and the way they suck us into the vortex of cyberspace, there are cultural touchpoints that reflect deeper human and technology development patterns, patterns which we would all do well to understand, no matter whether or how we choose to engage in the ever-innovating digital frontiers. Informed by research and interviews with leaders in policy, human development, ethics, and technology Loretta Brady helps readers understand the complex systemic challenges and findings related to technology and human development. We do not have to hate or fear technology. It is neither friend nor foe. But understanding its impact on our daily lives is paramount to cultivating a healthier relationship both with our digital lives and our real, lived ones.

Many grandparents experience a surge of joy with the birth or adoption of a grandchild. For years afterward, time together is eagerly coveted, pictures are treasured and displayed, and multiple gifts along with various kinds of support are gladly provided. Richard Olson, a retired minister, professor of theology, and grandparent many times over, presents the unconditional love of a grandparent as indicative of a vocation, a calling from God. He explores the vocation of grandparent in all of its multiple dimensions of being and doing. Informed by a biblical perspective, the book explores the author's personal journey of grandparenting and includes conversations with a diverse set of other grandparents. Olson examines biblical examples of grandparenting and suggests that the grandparent vocation has possibilities that often go unnoticed. These include care, enjoyment, and response to issues throughout a grandchild's growth. He also addresses concerns for our grandchildren's future world, and how grandparents can engage in mutual conversation about faith, morals, and values in a changing world. In addition, Olson discusses increasingly common relationship types such as grandparents serving as primary caregivers, adults becoming step-grandparents through marriage, interreligious family systems, and grandparents handling children with special needs. The book includes questions for personal or group reflection.
In 1994, five-year-old Frankie Gobel begged his father to ride the wooden roller coaster, Rolling Thunder, just once. That one ride was enough to hook the pair on the exhilaration and excitement of riding roller coasters. In this memoir, author Charles F. Gobel describes the pair's fifteen-year adventure of traveling to amusement parks around the United States to experience the thrill of the ride. From their inaugural season, Charles and Frankie traveled by car, plane, and sleeper train to ride coasters of all sizes and heart-thumping capabilities. "Flying with Frankie" narrates their journey as the duo spend more than 300 days in forty different amusement parks, conquering 150 diverse thrill rides and thousands of roller coasters. This travelogue details the adventures and describes the wide variety of coaster rides they experienced. Just as important as the rides, however, are the heartfelt memories created through all of their adventures and the steadfast bond that developed between the two as they followed the quest to take that one perfect ride. |
