In twenty-six short topical chapters, teens and young adults share
their questions and real-life experiences about sexual
relationships. Their questions range from How far is too far? to
What's wrong with cohabitation? Two questions posed by many people
of all ages both within and outside the Church are also treated:
Chastity sounds nice, but is it practical? and What do the Bible
and celibate men know about sex anyway? Great Sex Through Chastity
promises substance, and the reader is not disappointed. The
responses to these and other questions include practical advice
given by both single and married, people, and reflect the Church's
understanding of sexuality and the value of chastity. Hope also
given to those who may want to reaffirm their virginity. Teens will
find Great Sex Through Chastity: A Teen Guide to Real Love and Deep
Passion a readable and informative book, and their parents and
teachers, particularly catechists and DREs, will find it an
invaluable resource.
A frank, streetwise "Our Bodies, Ourselves" for young men and
women, this guide answers the questions young people are
asking--about sexuality, drugs, alcohol, fitness and nutrition, and
much more.
An honest, funny and feminist take on living with your period (and hormones!), by the award-winning sex and relationships vlogger, and author of Doing It!, Hannah Witton.
When Hannah Witton started documenting her journey coming off the pill and re-getting her period, she wasn't anticipating the reaction, from people of all ages, that talking about it would bring. It exposed a glaring gap - the resources and the spaces to talk honestly about periods just aren't there. And with more and more research showing that your period and your hormones can affect literally every area of your life, this is a problem.
Inspired by her YouTube series of the same name, The Hormone Diaries draws on Hannah's own experiences and, through crowdsourcing on her social media platforms, those of her fans too. With her trademark honesty and humour, Hannah explores and demystifies topics surrounding periods, hormones and contraception, to offer readers support, information and advice.
The definitive period self-help book 50% of the world has been waiting for!
At once an affectionate tribute and a work of social history, Going All the Way captures the experiences of young women coming of age in modern day America. What emerges in this work is an all but unprecedented study of the intimate lives of teenage girls that goes far in explaining teen motivation and behaviour, "challenging the simplistic stereotypes and savage preconceptions that have kept us dangerously ignorant" (Alix Kates Schulman).
In his forty-year career, Michael Baden has conducted more than
20,000 autopsies. Considered one of the world's leading
pathologists, he was New York City medical examiner from 1960 to
1985 and is now co-director of the New York State Police
Medicolegal Investigation Unit. The host of the popular program
Autopsy on HBO, Dr. Baden brings riveting stories and expert
analysis to Dead Reckoning.
Along with award-winning writer Marion Roach, Dr. Baden, takes
readers on a you-are-there tour of the morgue to demonstrate how
the advances in forensic science are helping to solve crimes as
never before. They visit cases, both famous and ordinary, to
explain why the first hour at a crime scene is crucial. Readers are
also invited to be present at the analysis of soil samples, plant
matter, insects, blood spatters, bone, teeth, hair, weather, and
other crime scene evidence to witness how they can improve the
chances of a just verdict.
What Sherwin Nuland did for the science of death, Dr. Baden and
Dead Reckoning does for the science of forensic pathology, offering
what Tracy Kidder calls a "fascinating window into the world of the
medical detective."
Rhiannon is devastated after the breakup with her boyfriend and
wants him back. Nicole's ex is still pining for her, but she can't
help having a new crush. And then there is James, hopelessly in
love with Rhiannon, who can't see that their friendship can be so
much more. Just when things couldn't get more complicated, the
school's resident mean girl decides she is intent on ruining
everyone's life. James, Nicole, and Rhiannon are not going to let
this slide, but will their desire to take down the mean girl bring
these three friends exactly what they want?
