Packaging Boyhood: Saving Our Sons from Superheroes, Slackers, and Other Media Stereotypes
by Lyn Mikel Brown Sharon Lamb Mark TappanPlayer. Jock. Slacker. Competitor. Superhero. Goofball. Boys are besieged by images in the media that encourage slacking over studying; competition over teamwork; power over empowerment; and being cool over being yourself. From cartoons to video games, boys are bombarded with stereotypes about what it means to be a boy, including messages about violence, risk-taking, and perfecting an image of just not caring. Straight from the mouths of over 600 boys surveyed from across the U.S., the authors offer parents a long, hard look at what boys are watch ing, reading, hearing, and doing. They give parents advice on how to talk with their sons about these troubling images and provide them with tools to help their sons resist these mes sages and be their unique selves.
Packaging Girlhood: Rescuing Our Daughters From Marketers' Schemes
by Sharon Lamb Lyn Mikel BrownThe stereotype-laden message, delivered through clothes, music, books, and TV, is essentially a continuous plea for girls to put their energies into beauty products, shopping, fashion, and boys. This constant marketing, cheapening of relationships, absence of good women role models, and stereotyping and sexualization of girls is something that parents need to first understand before they can take action. Lamb and Brown teach parents how to understand these influences, give them guidance on how to talk to their daughters about these negative images, and provide the tools to help girls make positive choices about the way they are in the world. In the tradition of books like Reviving Ophelia, Odd Girl Out, Queen Bees, and Wannabees that examine the world of girls, this book promises to not only spark debate but help parents to help their daughters.

The Pact: Three Young Men Make a Promise and Fulfill a Dream
by George Jenkins Rameck Hunt Drs. Sampson DavisSampson, George, and Rameck could easily have followed their childhood friends into drugdealing, gangs, and prison. Like their peers, they came from poor, single-parent homes in urban neighborhoods where survival, not scholastic success, was the priority. When the three boys met in a magnet high school in Newark, they recognized each other as kindred spirits who wanted to overcome the incredible odds against them and reach for opportunity. They made a friendship pact, deciding together to take on the biggest challenge of their lives: attending college and then medical school. Along the way they made mistakes and faced disappointments, but by working hard, finding the right mentors, separating themselves from negative influences, and supporting each other, they achieved their goals—and more. In We Beat the Street, award-winning YA author and teacher Sharon Draper brings the doctors' childhood, teenage, and young-adult anecdotes vividly to life. Brief “conversations” with the doctors at the end of each chapter provide context and advice in a friendly, nonintrusive way. Youngsters will be captivated by the men's honest accounts of the street life that threatened to swallow them up, and how they helped each other succeed beyond their wildest expectations. .

El padre de tus hijos
by Daniel GascónTras el éxito de Un hipster en la España vacía y La muerte del hipster, Daniel Gascón vuelve con un libro de relatos que dejan entrever su cara más sagaz. Este es un libro de cuentos que tiene algo de novela de aprendizaje y de disco de divorcio: unas veces se acerca a la memoria y otras juega con formas próximas a lo ensayístico. Un joven regresa al pueblo de su infancia y se reencuentra con su amor de los cuatro años. Un hombre fantasea con ejercer de padre de la hija de una amiga. Unos adolescentes caminan hasta el pueblo de al lado, donde las chicas de su curso han quedado con unos macarras. Un vecino llama a un padre de familia en mitad de la noche para quejarse por los ladridos del perro y amenaza con matar al animal. Dos escritores viajan de madrugada por la A-2 porque uno de ellos no quiere perder a su novia. Un futbolista oculta su profesión cuando liga con una camarera y un marido supuestamente feliz decide fingir un adulterio. Una mujer a punto de separarse recibe la visita de su padre y un tipo pasa el verano en que se derrumba su matrimonio viendo comedias clásicas de Hollywood y leyendo ensayos filosóficos, pero solo entiende lo que le pasa al ver el libro que la profesora ha recomendado a su hija. El padre de tus hijos habla del amor y del proceso de crecer: trata de la ilusión y la responsabilidad, de las expectativas y de la decepción, del júbilo del amor y de la devastación cuando termina. Con dosis precisas de humor, lucidez y melancolía, Daniel Gascón reúne dieciséis relatos que retratan la intimidad y sus aristas, y estudian la extraña relación que hay entre la vida que vivimos y la que imaginamos. Críticas: «Este tipo se fija en todo, afila el detalle, paladea la anécdota… Y, sobre todo, lo cuenta con un estilo propio, preciso y, a la vez, muy cercano. Material literario de primera».Ángel Peña, The Objective«Gascón regresa en fondo y forma, y por todo lo alto. Aquí se hace con una madurez literaria y vital mucho más honda y más brillante».Juan Marqués, El Mundo «Recuerda a lo mejor de los cuentos de Chéjov».Julia Olmo, ABC «Gascón forma parte de una generación de autores que ha alcanzado una madurez capaz de proporcionarles sustrato fértil para sus creaciones».Ascensión Rivas, El Cultural«Daniel captura las pistas, las pone sobre la mesa, no te lo dirá al principio, no lo encontrarás al final del relato, tienes que saber buscar. Delillo y Foster Wallace. Cheever y sus piscinas».Octavio Gómez Milián, Zona de ObrasSobre Un hipster en la España vacía:«Libro con aires de parodia, entretenido hasta decir basta, irreverente sin hacer sangre, sobre un varón urbano, paladín de la Nueva Masculinidad, sabihondo, dogmático, ridículo, que se instala en un pueblo de Teruel con el noble fin de dar lecciones de modernidad a los lugareños».Fernando Aramburu

Padres extraordinarios: Secretos de éxito para padres de adelescentes (Especialidades Juveniles)
by Mark MatlockHoy en día, las familias cristianas se encuentran atascadas muchas veces entre dos historias: la historia de su propia familia y la historia de Dios. Es como si estuvieran viviendo dos vidas: su vida cristiana y su vida en el “mundo real”. La solución a este problema consiste en descubrir la manera de hacer que la historia de tu familia entre en alineación con la historia de Dios en el mundo que nos rodea, de manera que te ayude a criar unos hijos que tengan el carácter, los valores y la misión que les permitan salir al mundo real y vivir una fe genuina. Padres extraordinarios es un libro sobre la formación de los hijos que te ayudará a ser dinámico, en lugar de actuar a base de reacciones, cuando se trata de educar a los jovencitos cristianos en un mundo que está lleno de contradicciones que se oponen a una vida de fe. En lugar de tratar de formar unos hijos que sean solo “buenos cristianos”, encontrarás aquí las herramientas que te ayudarán a manifestar en tu vida una fe que les permita a tus hijos ver lo que significa vivir como cristianos. Como resultado de esto, aprenderán lo que es la fe genuina, porque la estarán viviendo junto contigo. Mark Matlock, experto en culturas y veterano pastor de jóvenes, te ayudará a analizar cuestiones como las siguientes: • Cómo ayudar a tu hijo a tomar decisiones • La importancia de los fracasos • Cómo conocer la historia que tiene Dios para tu familia • Cómo hacer un cambio en la historia actual de tu familia • Cómo buscar la sabiduría, y mucho más. Dios nos ha puesto aquí para interactuar con el mundo y representarlo ante él, a base de relacionarte con la cultura, en lugar de apartarte de ella. En vez de tratar de aislar del mundo a tus hijos, o establecer unas barreras que les impidan relacionarse realmente con el mundo que Dios nos ha llamado a ayudar y sanar, aquí podrás aprender a guiar a tu familia hacia una vida integrada, en la cual la historia de la familia y la historia de Dios se unan para marcar una diferencia en el mundo que los rodea.

When Candida dies after a long illness, she leaves her five year old daughter, Pagan, in Leo's care.

The ensuing hearings are complicated by tabloid exposure of Leo's homosexuality, which threatens not only his position with Pagan but also his job as a television chat-show host.

Meanwhile, he endeavours to discover the truth about Candida, the cause of her estrangement from her adoptive parents, the identity of her natural mother and the reason for her refusal to name Pagan's father.
