Raising Emotionally Secure Children in an Insecure World

By: Dr. Brenda Hunter

It's one of the toughest choices a mother will ever make: to "work" or be a full-time mother? It is also a long-running debate between moms who feel they contribute more to society at work than at home and those who feel mothering is not just a full-time job but a calling. In this newly repackaged, expanded, and updated edition of Home by Choice, national authority Dr. Brenda Hunter brings research to the discussion table, arguing that no one can replace the care a mother provides. As kids grow up with parental presence, she says, they develop a sense of home that will serve them all their lives. Dr. Hunter speaks directly to moms, addressing their unique concerns-such as financial pressure, support from husbands, and personal fulfillment. She makes a well-reasoned case for the enduring effects of a mother's love.

Abyss

Verse to Fall Into

By: Brenda Alyss Schaeffer

It's 2159, and mankind has only recently developed a space drive system that allows for traveling light year distances within the galaxy. In fact, that's the maximum single trip distance that they can travel: Humans must hop and skip, in and around near-space, by a series of single light year jumps. At this time in mankind's history, two distinct classes of humans are emerging: the class who lives in space aboard spacecraft, on asteroids, low-g habitats, or Pony Station satellites, and resemble hairless orangutans. The other class being those who live on planetary surfaces, and who still retain the familiar shape of surface-dwelling humans. Both classes have enjoyed a genetic modification that grants a longer life span. Humans live for more than 250 years. Exploration beyond the limits of the solar system has recently begun. At a distance of six light years from Earth, a planet had been discovered, sixty-seven degrees from the plane of the ecliptic, in the system the space explorers have named Brandio. They've named the planet Chon, because of the availability and correct percentages of carbon, hydrogen, oxygen, and nitrogen suitable for supporting human life and development. humans have been living on its surface for five years. Mankind hopes this effort is the first of many far-flung colonies that will eventually follow more discoveries of habitable planets. A very dangerous and lethal form of circumscribed intelligence has recently been discovered in a large valley on the other side of the planet from the first human colony. The intelligence exists in the form of alien shadows who, for some reason, collapse, explode, and die at the end of each day when the sun disappears. Possessing considerable weight, the crashing shadows have killed six humans from the colony, who were exploring the valley, and completely destroyed all other forms of life within their area. The area of destruction is increasing in size on a daily basis, and if not stopped, will eventually inundate the entire planet. The mysteries of how this particular nemesis, the shadows, came to be and why they live such short and devastating lives, must be solved. They must stop the encroachment of the shadows over the surface of the planet if the human population on the planet is to survive. The crew of the spacecraft The Eighteenth of Darkness II has been called to help solve the mystery behind the deadly shadows. Five generations of space humans are on board and include three siblings who, with the help of a 250-year-old great-great-great-grandfather, and a ten-thousand-year-old friendly snail-like alien, travel to the planet and assist in solving the problem. What they find is an interesting and perplexing situation: an alien experiment gone awry. The adventure includes a disclosure of the past history of Earth's space travel discoveries and breakthroughs. The team manages to solve the shadow problem, but only after receiving some much-needed assistance from a highly unlikely source: thirteen great-great-great-grandchildren, who possess a single-minded mentality, and powers that are going to lead mankind into a new realm for its future.

In a Different Key

The Story of Autism

By: John Joseph Donvan,Caren Brenda Zucker

Many others played starring roles too: doctors like Leo Kanner, who pioneered our understanding of autism; lawyers like Tom Gilhool, who took the families' battle for education to the courtroom; scientists who sparred over how to treat autism; and those with autism, like Temple Grandin, Alex Plank, and Ari Ne'eman, who explained their inner worlds and championed the philosophy of neurodiversity. This is also a story of fierce controversies--from the question of whether there is truly an autism "epidemic," and whether vaccines played a part in it; to scandals involving "facilitated communication," one of many treatments that have proved to be blind alleys; to stark disagreements about whether scientists should pursue a cure for autism.

Good Food to Go

Healthy Lunches Your Kids Will Love

By: Brenda Bradshaw,Cheryl Mutch

Good Food to Go is the ultimate guide to packing healthy lunch boxes with food that kids will enjoy and parents can feel good about. Back-to-school means back-to-lunch-boxes, and the daily quandary of what to put in them. With this new book, two working moms - one a teacher, one a pediatrician - offer creative ideas for balanced lunches and nutritious snacks, as well as up-to-date health tips that will make packing lunch a joy and not a chore. Given that children consume approximately one third of their daily calories at school, what goes into kids' lunch boxes is vital to their well-being. Yet it still needs to be hot enough, cold enough or crisp enough to withstand a morning in the cloakroom. (And with allergies on the rise many schools are now nut-free, eliminating that old standby: peanut butter.) Most important, the lunch needs to be kid-friendly and delicious because after all, the healthiest lunch isn't very healthy if it goes uneaten. Good Food to Go fuses the how-to's of creating wholesome, homemade lunches with the latest information on food and nutrition. Practical tips will help parents make environmentally conscious food choices and eliminate lunch-box waste to ensure children are eating for a healthier planet. Many of the recipes outline what can be done the night before, while others may be made in bulk and frozen, facilitating easy, last-minute lunches. Handy meal planners help to ensure that kids are eating a healthy variety of nutritious lunches throughout the week.

Cool Plants for Cold Climates

A Garden Designer's Perspective

By: Brenda C. Adams

A cold climate is no excuse for a dull, colorless garden. The key is knowing the right plants that will survive and thrive in even the chilliest environments. Who better to guide gardeners than an expert from the far north? Award-winning designer and Alaska gardener Brenda Adams has spent decades searching for exceptional plants that flourish in wintery climates. In Cool Plants for Cold Climates, she presents vivid and detailed portraits of the best and most beautiful of the bunch. When Adams moved from the warm Southwest to Alaska, she found herself in a different gardening world, with few guides on how to approach this new ecosystem. Now, more than twenty-five years later, she shares the secrets gained from her years of gardening experiments as well as bountiful advice from friends and local nurseries. She explains how to evaluate a plant, balancing its artistic attributes with its more utilitarian ones, as well as how to evaluate your space and soil. Adams then takes you into the nursery, offering guidance on how to pick the best of the best. Finally, she offers a detailed look at a wide variety of wonderful plants, highlighting those that offer overall beauty, are especially easy to care for, and solidly hardy. With more than three hundred vivid pictures of both individual plants and full gardens, Adams proves that there is a bounty of plants, in a rainbow of colors, waiting to brighten up your space.

Unravelling Sustainability and Resilience in the Built Environment

By: Emilio Jose Garcia,Brenda Vale

In this timely book, Emilio Jose Garcia and Brenda Vale explore what sustainability and resilience might mean when applied to the built environment. Conceived as a primer for students and professionals, it defines what the terms sustainability and resilience mean and how they are related to each other and to the design of the built environment. After discussion of the origins of the terms, these definitions are then compared and applied to case studies, including Whitehill and Bordon, UK, Tianjin Eco-city, China, and San Miguel de Tucuman, Argentina, which highlight the principles of both concepts. Essentially, the authors champion the case that sustainability in the built environment would benefit from a proper understanding of resilience.

Hawthorne

A Life

By: Brenda Wineapple

Handsome, reserved, almost frighteningly aloof until he was approached, then playful, cordial, Nathaniel Hawthorne was as mercurial and double-edged as his writing. “Deep as Dante,” Herman Melville said. Hawthorne himself declared that he was not “one of those supremely hospitable people who serve up their own hearts, delicately fried, with brain sauce, as a tidbit” for the public. Yet those who knew him best often took the opposite position. “He always puts himself in his books,” said his sister-in-law Mary Mann, “he cannot help it.” His life, like his work, was extraordinary, a play of light and shadow. In this major new biography of Hawthorne, the first in more than a decade, Brenda Wineapple, acclaimed biographer of Janet Flanner and Gertrude and Leo Stein (“Luminous”–Richard Howard), brings him brilliantly alive: an exquisite writer who shoveled dung in an attempt to found a new utopia at Brook Farm and then excoriated the community (or his attraction to it) in caustic satire; the confidant of Franklin Pierce, fourteenth president of the United States and arguably one of its worst; friend to Emerson and Thoreau and Melville who, unlike them, made fun of Abraham Lincoln and who, also unlike them, wrote compellingly of women, deeply identifying with them–he was the first major American writer to create erotic female characters. Those vibrant, independent women continue to haunt the imagination, although Hawthorne often punishes, humiliates, or kills them, as if exorcising that which enthralls. Here is the man rooted in Salem, Massachusetts, of an old pre-Revolutionary family, reared partly in the wilds of western Maine, then schooled along with Longfellow at Bowdoin College. Here are his idyllic marriage to the youngest and prettiest of the Peabody sisters and his longtime friendships, including with Margaret Fuller, the notorious feminist writer and intellectual. Here too is Hawthorne at the end of his days, revered as a genius, but considered as well to be an embarrassing puzzle by the Boston intelligentsia, isolated by fiercely held political loyalties that placed him against the Civil War and the currents of his time. Brenda Wineapple navigates the high tides and chill undercurrents of Hawthorne’s fascinating life and work with clarity, nuance, and insight. The novels and tales, the incidental writings, travel notes and children’s books, letters and diaries reverberate in this biography, which both charts and protects the dark unknowable core that is quintessentially Hawthorne. In him, the quest of his generation for an authentically American voice bears disquieting fruit.
