The Way of Boys: Raising Healthy Boys in a Challenging and Complex World

43 reviews
Anthony Rao, Michelle Seaton

William Morrow, 2009

Great for teachers or anybody with a boy
It is tough raising boys these days. The world, rightly or wrongly, no longer affords them the physical outlets that they once had. They are adjured to, "Use your words," and their development is more hurry-up and wait rather than a straight trajectory like girls. Most teachers are women. Most schools are designed around the learning styles of girls (focusing on extended discourse, talking ...

Fifty Challenging Problems in Probability with Solutions

11 reviews
Frederick Mosteller

Dover Publications, 1987

Worth its' weight in a very precious metal
This collection of fifty-six classic problems in probability is a first-rate work. All of the solutions are well written and easily followed. The reasoning is general enough to allow you to go on and solve related problems. Examples are birthday matching, trials until success, cooperation, gambler's ruin, and Buffon's needle. If you have a soft spot for problems in probability, this book is an ...

The Challenging Child: Understanding, Raising, and Enjoying the Five "Difficult" Types of Children

11 reviews
Stanley I. Greenspan

Da Capo Press, 1996

Outlined my daughter's temperment perfectly
This book was recommended to me by my daughter's (she's 3 now) neurological developmental pediatrician at Children's Hospital. I only regret that I just now read it. The highly sensitive child chapter outlines my daughter's life from birth through today, as well as many of the frustrating feelings I've had as a loving, yet confused parent. The book helps show how to best parent each of the ...

Kinship with All Life : Simple, Challenging, Real-Life Experiences Showing How Animals Communicate with Each ...

J. Allen Boone

HarperOne, 1976

Could this be a life changer?
I bought this book because I read that it was a favourite of Tom Dorrance, who is sort of considered to be the "father" or natural horsemanship. The writing style is very "popular 1950s" and the humor can be a little hokey at times, but this makes it an easy read. However, the concepts put forth are anything but lightweight. The title of the book says it all, really, and at some level this ...

The Everything Kids' Hidden Pictures Book: Hours Of Challenging Fun! (Everything Kids Series)

Beth L. Blair

Adams Media, 2003

Great exercise for little brains
Most youngsters love puzzles, but this book offers more than just brain work, it is perfect for rainy days, long trips in the car, or just spending time alone without the drone of television. The puzzles are challenging for ages 5 and up, some more difficult than others, and my kids enjoy the way the items are really well hidden in each scene. I love that it is lengthy and features various ...

Totally on board
I am totally on board with the whole Free Range Kids concept. My son is only 2 years old but I already give him freedom to run and play, and I look forward to teaching him to be self-sufficient and street-smart so he can have the freedom to explore as he gets older.

The New Evidence That Demands A Verdict Fully Updated To Answer The Questions Challenging Christians Today

108 reviews
Josh McDowell

Thomas Nelson, 1999

One of McDowell's Best
This is a must book for any budding apologist or evangelist. It is well organized and simple to understand. The author quotes numerous scholarly authorities in apologetics and philosophy. He discusses atheism, agnosticism, and modern atheological philosophy. It should cost much more than its current price. This resource you will turn to many times with gratitude that JM wrote and systematized ...

Brainwashed: Challenging the Myth of Black Inferiority

6 reviews
Tom Burrell

Smiley Books, 2010

A Book that changes how you see things
After reading Brainwashed: Challenging the Myth of Black Inferiority, I have but one regret; It has challenged my role as a passive observer. It's now hard to laugh at black comedians and rappers who carelessly use the N-word or endorse sexual promiscuity and violence. I can no longer dismiss the impact of black films or TV shows that exaggerate black pathologies and buffoonery. With disturbing ...

In Praise of Slowness: Challenging the Cult of Speed (Plus)

44 reviews
Carl Honore

HarperOne, 2005

Slow is the way to go!
Arianna Huffington promoted 'In Praise of Slowness' on her web site [...]. The book is an affirmation of a philosophy that I have been approaching from several angles: Don't sweat the small stuff, Less is more, Buddhism and so on. Our society is insanely trying to out-achieve itself in an upward spiral that has caused many a crash. The book helps me to understand the art of a deep-thinking, ...

Taming the Spirited Child: Strategies for Parenting Challenging Children Without Breaking Their Spirits

12 reviews
Michael H. Popkin

Fireside, 2007

Strategies for dealing with difficult children
This was an excellent book, I like specific 1-2-3 type books, and this one really is a great help. I didn't agree 100% with the author on every thing, but everyone's entitled to their own opinion (for example I just don't see the value in encouraging a child to take out his frustrations on a pillow or other object; it still encourages a violent physical reaction to stress in my opinion). Having ...
