Retrospect and Prospect in the Psychological Study of Families


Book Description

This book assembles 11 of the leading thinkers and researchers in the field of family psychology to create a compendium summarizing both what psychology researchers have learned about the family and where the field should be going next. It evolved after the volume's contributors met with other distinguished family scholars to discuss family influences on child development and to ponder how this knowledge could be used to benefit families and children. This volume includes approaches to the family that feature multiple levels and topics of focal interest to benefit anyone interested in the family. Central topics include mothering, fathering, marriages, family group processes, sibling relations, and families as systems. In addition, three senior authors offer road maps to detect, and suggest (a) challenges in research on parenting, (b) marital and family dynamics, and (c) family systems in the years ahead. In keeping with the theme of how research affects the lives of families outside the university lab settings, this volume includes a chapter on the interface between family research and law. This book closes with a "big picture" analysis and critique of what is known and not known. Psychologists, anthropologists, sociologists, and public policymakers interested in the family should especially find this volume of interest.

FOR THE LOVE OF MOUNTAINS


Book Description

A whim to experience outdoor life sparked a life-changing experience and a new love affair, a love for the mountains. More than a travelogue, I have relived each of my favorite mountain haunts visually in this book. Every picture and every day in the mountains have a story behind it. These stories include the local people, whose guests we were, friends, and yours truly. I have trekked many of these trails multiple times, hence some of them have more pictures than others. These visits in the last 11 years have transformed me from an introvert to an extrovert, a weakling with a bad back (three slipped discs) to a fit 50-year-old. I became a better photographer and a better traveler over time and this is reflected in the quality of pictures as well. I often tell my friends that a week of hiking in the mountains is equivalent to a lifetime of memories. And I have plenty of them to share in this photo book.




Raised As a Lie


Book Description

What if everything you ever believed about yourself was a lie? Raised As A Lie is a complex and moving memoir about race, identity, worthiness and trauma. This compelling emotional tale catapults the reader into a world of deception and family secrets that leaves one astounded. In Raised As a Lie, Dr. Naeema Olatunji shares a vulnerable exploration of the denial, deceit, abuse and racism faced in her formative years. The memoir inspires reflection and fruitful dialogue, addressing engaging questions about bi-racial belonging like: How does childhood trauma affect our self-worth? How do you forgive when you can't forget? How does one navigate racial identity in a society that remains racially charged? Dr. Naeema illuminates deep unaddressed wounds of lack, shame and of self-worth. This powerful debut work may not have even come to surface if not for a soul-stirring heartbreak that shook the author to her core. You will love this book if you ever struggled with feeling invisible or battled with childhood traumas and the indelible scars they leave behind. Raised As A Lie speaks to people of mixed heritage, people of color, or anyone burdened with family secrets or childhood trauma.

The Man Who Walked Between the Towers


Book Description

The story of a daring tightrope walk between skyscrapers, as seen in Robert Zemeckis's The Walk, starring Joseph Gordon-Levitt. In 1974, French aerialist Philippe Petit threw a tightrope between the two towers of the World Trade Center and spent an hour walking, dancing, and performing high-wire tricks a quarter mile in the sky. This picture book captures the poetry and magic of the event with a poetry of its own: lyrical words and lovely paintings that present the detail, daring, and--in two dramatic foldout spreads-- the vertiginous drama of Petit's feat. The Man Who Walked Between the Towers is the winner of the 2004 Caldecott Medal, the winner of the 2004 Boston Globe - Horn Book Award for Picture Books, and the winner of the 2006 Carnegie Medal for Excellence in Children's Video.
