We live in a time where F-bombs are rampantly and publicly exploding around us without warning leaving in their aftermath young ears and old ears alike ringing from the shockwave of their barrage. We live in a time where, on television, English is rapidly being replaced by a new language called "Bleep " because, hardly a phrase is being spoken these days without the needed intervention of the censor. Do you feel that you went to bed one night and awoke to a world that had exchanged common courtesy for the shock value of indiscriminate foul language? What is worse, do you sometimes slip and blurt out language that you immediately regret and have to apologize for? If this behavior annoys or offends you, there is hope. Rodney and Eunice Adams' book, "Oooooooo, You Said A Bad Wooord-How A Group Of Young People Outgrew 'Adult Language'" lovingly and tactfully tells the story of a group of inquisitive fourth and fifth graders who address "bad words" head-on, debate what bad words are, why they are bad, and ultimately outgrow "adult language." Read this book with your children, discuss it with your friends, and together let's clean up our act, and make a better world by word of mouth.

A volume in Studies in the History of Education Series Editor Karen L. Riley, Auburn University at Montgomery This volume, The New Social Studies: People, Projects and Perspectives is not an attempt to be the comprehensive book on the era. Given the sheer number of projects that task would be impossible. However, the current lack of knowledge about the politics, people and projects of the NSS is unfortunate as it often appears that new scholars are reinventing the wheel due to their lack of knowledge about the history of the social studies field. The goal of this book then, is to sample the projects and individuals involved with the New Social Studies (NSS) in an attempt to provide an understanding of what came before and to suggest guidance to those concerned with social studies reform in the future-especially in light of the standardization of curriculum and assessment currently underway in many states. The authors who contributed to this project were recruited with several goals in mind including a broad range of ages, interests and experiences with the NSS from participants during the NSS era through new, young scholars who had never heard much about the NSS. As many of the authors remind us in their chapters, much has been written, of the failure of the NSS. However, in every chapter of this book, the authors also point out the remnants of the projects that remain.

A young girl in a Tijuana slum observes the role pollution plays in the health of her community. A teenager in Atlanta is the only member of his family not infected with HIV and is learning to deal with the stigma of the disease.

This collection of unique narratives told from the perspectives of young people from around the world serves as a valuable educational tool, providing youth with a context for understanding global health, not just in a physiological sense, but from psychological and sociological perspectives as well. Representing six geographical regions and twenty-three countries, these stories address chronic diseases like diabetes, cancer, and epilepsy; infectious diseases like HIV, malaria, tuberculosis, and typhoid; and mental and behavioral health issues such as depression, eating disorders, and smoking cessation.

These stories, along with ones that illustrate the environmental, political, and socio-cultural health factors that affect young people and their communities every day, are sure to spark debate and stimulate discussions in classrooms, community centers, and at dinner tables around the world. To assist in leading the conversations, Mendenhall has established a website: www.ghn4c.org/, to which she invites all teachers and parents.

Our children are in trouble. Of course, not all of them, but enough to consider that African American youth are in a "crisis of values." Many of the problems that our youth experience regardless of socioeconomic status, have their roots in the inculcation of values that are the antithesis of their true cultural values. This book is intended to be a guide for African American adults, parents, family members, neighbors, teachers all those who care about our children and desire to help them reclaim and reconnect with their true identity and true culture. We hope to provide concrete ways that adults can both model and talk to our children about the traditional beliefs and values that will enrich and in many cases save their lives. This book was introduced at the National Black Child Development Institute Conference held in October 2007 in Chicago.

Sandy the Seahorse is a wonderful, energetic character! She was created by the author to help children understand that differences between people can be a good thing, not something to be teased about. We are all different in one way or another, but being 'different' is being special! Sandy loves adventure and solving problems....watch for the next adventure in her upcoming series!

Jade is a young girl with a big problem. She has run into her first trouble at school, and is struggling with the uncertainties we all face when we try to solve a problem alone. Fortunately for Jade, her wise grandfather from Hawaii is visiting and in his special way presents to Jade five simple rules for happy living. In the first and second rules Jade learns the value of creating a safe space and the emotions connected to withholding the truth and telling the truth. With the remaining rules, honoring all agreements, being supportive and keeping exchanges in balance and her grandfather's guidance, love and support, Jade experiences how each applies to her life in many important ways. As Jade grows, so in turn does her understanding, and our understanding, of how five rules shape and define lives and how they support ethical behavior in marriages, family and relationships.
