The Stepfamily Puzzle: Intergenerational Influences
by Craig EverettDo stepfamilies experience greater levels of stressors than first families? Do they also experience more negative manifestations of stress? Find the latest research on these questions and more in this groundbreaking exploration of the complex factors and dynamics that make up stepfamilies. The Stepfamily Puzzle fills a gap in research that has not kept pace with the rapid growth of interest in this subject. It sets some of the pieces of the stepfamily puzzle into an intergenerational framework that includes the roles of grandparents, parent-child interactions, the struggles to define boundaries and achieve marital intimacy, and the underlying effects of financial support on stepfamily well-being. The Stepfamily Puzzle compares the effects of stress in stepfamilies and conditions in other families and reveals that the differences between the two types of families may not be as dramatic as long assumed. It also examines in-depth the emotional and financial stressors that impact stepfamilies and how this stress is exhibited in family relationships. Other groundbreaking research presented in this book includes: the closeness of relationships between children and grandparents in stepfamilies as compared to children and grandparents in first families effects of ongoing attachment to the former spouse on post-divorce relationships stepsibling subsystems a comparison of self-esteem and behavior problems of stepchildren and children in other family structures social support received by children in stepmother, stepfather, and intact families quality of stepfather-adolescent relationships effect of child support on stepfamily satisfactionTherapists, attorneys, and those interested in the numerous therapeutic and psychoeducational programs, self-help groups, and trade literature available on stepfamily relationships will find The Stepfamily Puzzle a valuable introduction to current research in this area. By presenting the complex variables that interact within stepfamilies, this book helps professionals understand the dynamics behind stepfamily relationships so they can provide effective support and care.

Stepping Heavenward: One Woman's Journey to Godliness (Inspirational Library Series)
by Elizabeth PrentissThis charming journal of a nineteenth century girl takes us from her sixteenth birthday ("How dreadfully old I am getting!") to her last entries when she was ill and in her forties, aware that she had very little time left. It is a story of the shaping of a soul-of her learning day by day, in the seemingly insignificant little events of an ordinary life, that deep happiness is found, not in seeking fulfillment for oneself, but in a glad and free self-offering for the sake of others. We follow her maturing to womanhood, we learn of her narrow escape from commitment to the wrong man, and of her engagement and marriage to the right one. But there was not as much "honey" on the honeymoon as her dreams had predicted. She had had no practice in giving up her own preferences in a day-to-day relationship with a man. She says to herself, at one point in her journal, "I would like to know if there is any reason on earth why a woman should learn self-forgetfulness which does not also apply to a man?" When little Ernest is born she finds he has a passionate temper and a good deal of self-will, along with fine qualities. "I wish he had a better mother. I am so impatient with him when he is wayward and perverse! ... Next to being a perfect wife I want to be a perfect mother. How mortifying, how dreadful in all things to come short of one's standards!" Having in-laws living with the family is another opportunity to "step heavenward," receiving grace to help as grace is continually needed. This book is a treasure of godly and womanly wisdom, told with disarming candor and humility, yet revealing a deep heart's desire to know God. We need such intimate accounts, need them desperately when the word commitment is so little understood and so seldom practiced.

Now that his favorite uncle, Jason, had left home, he felt lonely--and besides, all the pets on the family's dairy farm belonged to Grandma Morley.

Steve Jobs: Un libro inspirador para los JÓVENES que no están dispuestos a renunciar a sus sueños
by Karen BlumenthalAutodidacta, visionario, genio, intuitivo, iconoclassta, diferente, inventor. Steve Jobs, el hombre que pensaba diferente. Un libro inspirador para los JÓVENES que no están dispuestos a renunciar a sus sueños. Más que aparatos electrónicos, lo que Jobs dejó a los jóvenes fueron importantes lecciones de vida: un modelo de coraje, de iniciativa y de creatividad. Ésta es su historia, escrita de la manera que a ti te gustaría que te la contaran. La trayectoria de este genio, icono del siglo XXI, fue impredecible desde el inicio. Al nacer, fue dado en adopción, abandonó la carrera tras el primer semestre en la universidad... Sin embargo, con tan solo veinte años, creó Apple en el garaje de su casa junto con su amigo Steve Wozniack. Y así surgió su marca personal: una rigurosa búsqueda de perfección, un modo alternativo de acercarse a los problemas y un estilo que le llevó más allá de todo límite. Steve Jobs no solo te interesará por sus ordenadores, iPads e iPods, sino por cómo era y cómo vivió su vida: un visionario con un complicado carácter que resultó ser todo un ejemplo de lo que se puede conseguir si uno persigue sus sueños y permanece fiel a sí mismo. «No dejéis que el ruido de las opiniones de los demás ahogue vuestra propia voz interior. Tened el coraje de seguir vuestro corazón y vuestra intuición. De algún modo, ellos ya saben lo que realmente quieres ser. Vuestro tiempo es finito, no lo malgastéis viviendo la vida de otro»Steve Jobs Reseñas: [...] La biografía de Blumenthal, una mirada en profundidad a la vida de este visionario, se convierte en la favorita de cara al público más joven. Blumenthal, antigua periodista de economía, utiliza un discurso que dio Steve Jobs ante una promoción de estudiantes de Stanford como la puerta de entrada hacia la que atrae al lector. Steve Jobs contó al público una serie de historias sobre los incidentes más importantes de su vida. [...] Su última historia trataba del cáncer, y su mensaje fue: «seguid los dictados de vuestro corazón y vuestra intuición». Por medio de una serie de entrevistas originales, un uso inteligente de las fuentes y un estilo maravillosamente fluido, Blumenthal ofrece un completo retrato de Jobs con sus bien documentados defectos, su estética tan original y clarividente, y su disposición a presionarse a sí mismo y a los demás con el objetivo de lograr lo mejor según su percepción. [...] La exposición que se hace sobre la relación entre Apple y la compañía discográfica de los Beatles, Apple Corps., resulta entretenida e instructiva. Un libro inteligente de una autora inteligente sobre un individuo inteligente. Ilustrado con fotografías. Adjunta un glosario y sus fuentes. Ilene Cooper, Booklist
