Can you blow a square bubble from a square hole? Do you know how the narrow beam of light from a film projector fills up a big movie screen? Finding out the answers to these questions isn't just fun--it's physics, and will help kids understand all the wonderful things happening in the world around them. In addition to being a really cool trick, crushing a plastic bottle without touching it teaches budding scientists about air and gases. Floating an ice boat reveals the basic properties of water. And youngsters will feel the force--of gravity--by jumping up onto a chair. Whether they're making money talk or launching their own astronauts, children will really enjoy these activities.

Building Financial Empowerment for Survivors of Domestic Violence

A Path to Hope and Freedom

By: Judy L. Postmus,Amanda M. Stylianou

Each year, millions of women throughout the world experience violence and abuse at the hands of their intimate partner. Abusers coercively control them by using a variety of tactics ranging from physical or sexual violence to emotional or psychological abuse. An additional tactic often used includes financial abuse in which the abuser controls the money in the family, exploits the victim’s financial standing, and interrupts her efforts to be self-sufficient. The impact of financial abuse can leave women financially trapped in the relationship with limited financial management skills, knowledge, or self-confidence. Indeed, survivors often mention financial barriers as a top reason for keeping them trapped by the abuser in the relationship. Curiously, little of the research on domestic violence has sought to either fully understand the impact of financial abuse or to determine which intervention strategies are most effective for the financial empowerment of survivors. Building Financial Empowerment for Survivors of Domestic Violence aims to address this critical knowledge gap by providing those who work with survivors of domestic violence with practical knowledge on how to empower the financial well-being and stability of survivors. Specifically, every practitioner, human service provider, criminal justice practitioner, financial manager, and corporate supervisor should be screening the women they encounter for economic abuse, and when such abuse is found, they should work with the women toward developing financial safety plans and refer survivors to financial empowerment programs to assist survivors to become free from abuse.

Sickle Cell Anemia

Sickle Cell Anemia

By: Judy Monroe Peterson

Sickle cell anemia is a genetic disease of the blood. It is caused by a defect in one gene of a person. Genes are the elements in cells that carry the information that determines traits, such as hair or eye color. In sickle cell anemia, a defect in the gene controls how hemoglobin is made. This defect can be passed from parents to their children. Students explore the history of sickle cell anemia, the pioneering doctors who studied its cause, and early treatments. They also investigate hemoglobin S, who gets sickle cell, and how the gene mutation is inherited. They learn about the different types of sickle cell disease and treatments, including blood transfusions and bone marrow transplants, and some of the promising new research in medicines and gene therapy.

If This Land Could Talk

Homesteading on the Northern Plains

By: Judy R. Cook

Wow!Great job of bringing this man [Tom] and his times to lifeDefinitely a winner! Megan Smolenyak, chief genealogist for Ancestry.com, author of Who Do You Think You Are?, and consultant to the TV series of the same name. Millions of settlers flocked westward for homesteads, taking advantage of the free land opened to settlement by the expanding railroads. Few remained there, but author Judy Cooks family never lost faith in the land. Cooks Dakota roots inspire this compelling story of her grandparents homesteading experiences in North Dakota. If This Land Could Talk provides a riveting look at three generations of life on the northern plains, where Cook spent her formative years. Her candid portrayal brings to life her four grandparents, who carved a living from the inhospitable prairie, and her parents, who continued to farm on the same land. She offers a poignant yet entertaining glimpse into her ancestors daily lives. The author recounts growing up on the same land in the 1950s, shaped by a way of life long since vanished. Based on meticulous research, personal experiences, and stories passed from family to family, If This Land Could Talk resonates with a powerful sense of place, an enduring love of the land, and reverence for the family.

Free Boy

A True Story of Slave and Master

By: Lorraine McConaghy,Judy Bentley

Free Boy is the story of a 13-year-old slave who escaped from Washington Territory to freedom in Canada on the West's underground railroad. When James Tilton came to Washington Territory as surveyor-general in the 1850s he brought with his household young Charles Mitchell, a slave he had likely received as a wedding gift from a Maryland cousin. The story of Charlie's escape in 1860 on a steamer bound for Victoria and the help he received from free blacks reveals how national issues on the eve of the Civil War were also being played out in the West. Written with young adults in mind, the authors provide the historical context to understand the lives of both Mitchell and Tilton and the time in which the events took place. The biography explores issues of race, slavery, treason, and secession in Washington Territory, making it both a valuable resource for teachers and a fascinating story for readers of all ages.

Superfudge

Anniversary Edition

By: Judy Blume

He knows a lot of big words, but he doesn’t know where babies come from. He’s never heard of a stork, but he plans to be a bird when he grows up. He’s Superfudge, otherwise known as Farley Drexel Hatcher. And, according to his older brother Peter, the biggest pain ever invented. Among other things. As fans of Tales of a Fourth Grade Nothing already know, nothing is simple for Peter Hatcher. He is far from overjoyed at the turn the family fortunes are taking. It looks as if Peter will be spending the sixth grade far from Central Park, Sheila Tubman, Jimmy Fargo, and Henry the doorman. (He won’t miss Sheila). And it also looks as if Fudge will no longer be the baby of the family. How will Peter ever survive if his new sibling is a carbon copy of Fudge? But as Fudge fans also know, bad news for Peter generally means good news for Judy Blume’s readers—in the form of a very funny story. They won’t be disappointed!
