Now I Have a Stepparent and It's Kind of Confusing: A Book that Explains Remarriage to Young Children
by Janet Sinberg StensonHow do you explain your new marriage to a child? Children get confused when a parent remarries. This book was written to be read by parents, stepparents, and children so they can better understand the issues they all face. The cheerful cartoons provide an easy basis for communication and illustrate specific conflicts that may arise: the frustration of the child who secretly hoped his or her parents would be reunited; the jealousy of the child who has previously had all the attention of the single parent; the child's fear that he or she will be betraying the lost parent by loving the stepparent. With the help of this unique volume, the child can begin to trust and respect the stepparent and understand that he or she is still safe and secure and very much loved.

Working with Dreams (Routledge Library Editions: Sleep and Dreams)
by Montague Ullman Nan ZimmermanOriginally published in 1979, this is a dream book with an outstanding difference: it takes the interpretation of dreams out of the realm of the professionals and gives it to the ultimate expert – the dreamer. Working with Dreams stresses the uniqueness of every dream and dreamer. With anecdotes and examples from their own dream groups, the authors show how to deal with the intimacy and honesty of a dream; how to explore its meanings without distorting them; how to let a dream tell us about ourselves and add to our understanding. Dr Ullman and Mrs Zimmerman start with the question of what is in a dream – what is real and what is symbolic? – and then go on to explain what happens during sleep and the way a dream develops. They cover remembering and recording dreams and dealing with the imagery of dreams. They illustrate the many predicaments that dreams depict, the self-deceptions we practice in relation to our dreams, and then show how dream groups – whether a family or a group of strangers – can work together to uncover the meaning of dreams. And they enrich their book by discussing everything from the history of dreams to the possibilities of dreams across space and time. The result is a storehouse of information about the world of dreams.
Boss Lady: An Executive Woman Talks About Making It
by Jo FoxworthIn the United States when this was published (1978), as stated on the back cover: "College-educated men average $20,000 a year; college women get only $12,000. Our work force is over 40% female, yet women hold only 6% of the managerial positions. When a woman who has made a place in that 6% for herself is ready to tell you how--it’s smart to listen to the Boss Lady." The Boss Lady is Jo Foxworth, an American advertising executive who started as a copywriter in 1955, and then founded her own advertising firm in 1968. Although the times have changed since then, and the three-martini business lunch is no longer common practice, much has NOT changed for women in the business world. Writing in a straightforward, highly readable style, Ms. Foxworth offers up plenty of still-useful tips for women who strive to become successful business executives.

Fat Is A Feminist Issue
by Susie OrbachFat is not about food. Fat is about protection, sex, mothering, strength, assertion and love. Fat is a response to the way you are seen by your husband, your mother, your boss--and yourself. You can change that response by learning the difference between "mouth hunger" and "stomach hunger," by seeing weight loss as a good thing rather than a punishment, and by realizing that food is not your enemy. Author Orbach says most women respond to her new program by "maintaining or even gaining weight at first, as they learn to accept and like themselves. That's okay And that's just the beginning of this astonishingly effective new approach to weight loss through satisfaction. "THROW AWAY YOUR DIET BOOKS..."

How To Ask For More and Get It
by Thomas Kiernan Francis Greenburger"How To Ask For More And Get It is not, as the title might suggest, a book for the greedy, pursuing compulsive and unrealistic dreams of acquiring more worldly wealth. Rather, it is designed to help the average person get his due in the thousands of exchanges, both mundane and important, that punctuate his or her life," says Francis Greenburger and Thomas Kiernan.All of us are confronted daily with countless exchanges, both ordinary and extraordinary, the outcomes of which largely define the quality of our lives. In fact, the Exchange is the single most frequent and important process of our interpersonal existence. Negotiation is the art of consistently turning these exchanges to one's advantage, and this book shows how to master this art.Using examples from real-life situations, the authors show you how to develop your basic negotiating skills--how to state your criteria, who makes the first move, what tactics to use, how to set your goals and establish a strategy--in short, how to win!Whether you are an employee bargaining for a raise, the tenant applying for a lease, the homeowner planning an expansion, the spouse settling a quarrel, a man with an attractive young lady in mind...whether you are the layman or the professional, this book will teach you how to make the most of the exchanges which touch every facet of your life."Imagine yourself in any of the following situations:You are about to walk into a realtor's office to make an offer on your dream house or to rent the apartment you've finally found after months of searching...You are about to sit down with your spouse's lawyer to discuss the financial terms of your impending divorce...Tomorrow you are to appear for you final interview with a company you feel sure will offer you the job you have been seeking, at which your salary and other benefits will be decided...You are about to sit down with an auditor from the IRS...The "bottom line" of such exchanges is that we either gain or lose by them, financially and otherwise. Motivated by our innate self-interest, we naturally hope to acquire more than we give away. More often than not, however, we end up losing more than we gain. Why? Because we do not know how to negotiate our needs, our rights, our hopes, and our wishes..."Francis Greenburger operates an extremely successful New York real estate business--a milieu in which the negotiator's art is severely tested and sharply honed. Recently, he expanded his interest to include the publishing world and now operates an equally successful literary agency--another pursuit in which negotiating is the key to success. This is his first book.Thomas Kiernan was an editor for many years. He is also the author of fourteen previous books.

Pearls of Wisdom: Little Pieces of Advice (That Go a Long Way)
by Barbara BushThe best advice First Lady Barbara Bush offered her family, staff, and close friends. p.p1 {margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; text-align: justify; font: 12.0px Helvetica; color: #2c2c2c} p.p2 {margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; text-align: justify; font: 12.0px Helvetica; color: #2c2c2c; min-height: 14.0px} p.p3 {margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; text-align: justify; font: 12.0px Helvetica} p.p4 {margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; text-align: justify; font: 12.0px Helvetica; min-height: 14.0px} span.s1 {color: #2c2c2c} First Lady Barbara Bush was famous for handing out advice. From friends and family to heads of state and Supreme Court justices, and certainly to her staff, her advice ranged from what to wear, what to say or not say, and how to live your life. She especially loved visiting with students of all ages, from kindergartners to college graduates. When she turned 80, she owned up to all her advice-giving and explained it this way: After all, in 80 years of living, I have survived 6 children, 17 grandchildren, 6 wars, a book by Kitty Kelly, two presidents, two governors, big Election Day wins and big Election Day losses, and 61 years of marriage to a husband who keeps jumping out of perfectly good airplanes. So, it's just possible that along the way I've learned a thing or two. At the end of the day, she taught all of us some valuable lessons. As First Lady, she made a point of cuddling a baby with AIDS and hugging a young man who was HIV positive and whose family had rejected him, showing us by example the importance of compassion and the myth of fear. As a mother, she made sure we all knew that your children must come first, and one of the most important things you can do is to read to them. As a friend and mentor, she showed that you had to be true to yourself, and even at the end of her life, she taught us how to die with grace.Full of Barbara Bush's trademark wit and thoughtfulness, Pearls of Wisdom is a poignant reflection on life, love, family, and the world by one of America's most iconic -- and beloved -- public figures.
