This book was written in Sanscrit and provides a fascinating
insight into a culture far removed from our own. Revealed is an
ancient philosophy on love and how to treat women, both out of and
in the bedroom. The book is of course most well known as a manual
on how to reach a higher level of pleasure in one's sexual
experience. The text was written by Vatsyana, who was and is
renowned as the chief authority on Hindu erotic literature - Kama
Sutra is literally translated as "Aphorisms on Love." Note - this
version of the book is without illustrations.
From award-winning author Alex Gino comes a groundbreaking novel
for children about how important the past can be those trying to
create a different future. Sam is very in touch with their own
queer identity. They're nonbinary, and their best friend, TJ, is
nonbinary as well. Sam's family is very cool with it ... as long as
Sam remembers that nonbinary kids are also required to clean their
rooms, do their homework, and try not to antagonize their teachers
too much. The teacher-respect thing is hard when it comes to Sam's
history class, because their teacher seems to believe that only
Dead Straight Cis White Men are responsible for history. When Sam's
home borough of Staten Island opens up a contest for a new statue,
Sam finds the perfect non-DSCWM subject: photographer Alice Austen,
whose house has been turned into a museum, and who lived with a
female partner for decades. Soon, Sam's project isn't just about
winning the contest. It's about discovering a rich queer history
that Sam's a part of - a queer history that no longer needs to be
quiet, as long as there are kids like Sam and TJ to stand up for
it. For fans of MELISSA and RICK Featuring two non-binary
protagonists A powerful story to empower kids to think about the
history they are traditionally taught and what it means to be
included!

About one in three American children is either overweight or obese.
Childhood obesity is a crisis robbing youth of health and energy,
and even causing children to die prematurely. Obesity among
children, which is likely to carry over to adulthood, is also
linked to a greater risk of high cholesterol, diabetes, early heart
disease, and high blood pressure.
"New Prescription for Childhood Obesity" provides an innovative
approach to fighting childhood obesity. The traditional method for
weight loss and fat reduction has been to eat less and exercise
more, but this does not work over the long haul. To lose weight and
keep it off requires addressing the root cause of the problem:
insulin resistance and the low-grade silent inflammation that is
triggered by many factors, including foods and environmental causes
such as pesticides, industrial pollutants, and toxins.
Now parents have an opportunity to change their child's eating
and physical activity habits even before a weight problem develops.
Complete with recipes to get you on the right track, this essential
guide provides specific and simple strategies, techniques, and
skills that will enable children to eat the right amount of food
appropriate for their level of physical activity without
dieting.
