英文简介: Whether you have a teen who is struggling with exam pressure, a young adult who hasn’t settled into university life or you are curious about what lies ahead for your younger child, How to Grow a Grown Up will help you to build your child’s confidence and resilience - so they can become a strong, happy and independent adult.

We’re fast approaching the 3rd decade of the 21st century and it’s a very different world from the one in which parents (and teachers) grew up in. Challenging issues have come together – including cyber bullying, ‘always-on’ culture and ever increasing pressure to do well – to create a perfect storm. The result is that teenagers and young adults are now less prepared for a more challenging world – and if they don’t develop the skills they need to help them thrive they can become easy prey to mental health problems.

In this book Dr Dominique Thompson, the UK’s leading GP on student mental health and educational expert Fabienne Vailes, reveal what exactly parents need to do to help teenagers and young adults in this new world – and how to manage problems along the way. It includes:

*An overview of the pressures and problems facing this generation of young people - why are they increasingly stressed, anxious or suffering from mental health issues

*What exactly parents can do to help their teens and young adults become healthily independent, navigate challenges and flourish in preparation for adult life

*How pastoral care at universities and workplaces is changing, and what a parent’s role could and should be

*Ways to recognise the signs of mental health distress and what to do about it, particularly dealing with problems from a distance

英文简介: Sometimes I feel like I’m neither one thing nor another. I live in the Mallee but I don’t like the desert. I live on a farm but I get hay fever and I’m scared of goats. I like school but my best mates don’t. I’m stuck between stuff. It’s like I’m not meant to be here but I am.

Sandy Douglas knows that life at fifteen is hard, but it’s even harder when your mother died a year ago and nothing’s gone right since. His brother Red, on the other hand, is eighteen now and working the farm. He’s amped up on rage and always looking for a fight. And then there’s their dad Tom. He does his best, but - really - he doesn’t have a clue.

As Sandy and Red deal with girls, dirt biking, footy and friendship, both boys have to work out who they want to be, without their mum around. The Mallee, where they live, may seem like the middle of nowhere, but it turns out this is going to be one hell of a year.

英文简介: From the author of the Fertility Diary series from the New York Times’ Motherlode blog comes a girlfriend’s guide to both the emotional and technical process of trying to get pregnant, written with the smarts, warmth, and honesty of someone who has been in the trenches.

There are so many ways for women to be Not Pregnant: You can be young and have endometriosis or older and not have enough eggs; your partner might have slow sperm (don’t tell him that, though), or you may not have a partner involved at all. Or maybe there’s nothing wrong except for the fact that you are Just. Not. Pregnant.

Amy Klein has been there. From starting off optimistic about her own fertility to becoming someone who quickly got a med school-like education in reproductive endocrinology, she’s had nine rounds of IVF, four miscarriages, three acupuncturists, two rabbis, an amazing reproductive immunologist, and finally...one real, live baby. And she wrote about it all for the New York Times Motherlode blog in her "Fertility Diary" column that ran for three years.

Now, Amy has written the book she wishes she’d had when she was Not Pregnant. With advice from medical experts as well as stories from real women, she outlines your options every step of the way, telling you all the questions you should ask, and even offering suggestions on how to tell your busybody mother-in-law to mind her own beeswax. In this comprehensive roadmap to every single aspect of infertility, you’ll find topics such as:

• Mind/Body/Soul/Baby: Is the Alternative Route for Me?
• IVF: What to Expect on Your First Cycle
• Busybodies, Bosses, Frenemies & Family: How to Talk About Your Situation
• Thoughtful tips, helpful charts, and more!

Empowering, compassionate, and down-to-earth, The Trying Game will show you what to expect when you’re not expecting with heart and humanity when you need it the most.

英文简介: A Washington Post KidsPost Summer Book Club Read

Twelve-year-old Ruby Moon Hayes does not want her new classmates to ask about her father. She does not want them to know her mother has been arrested. And she definitely does not want to make any friends. Ruby just wants to stay as silent and invisible as a new moon in the frozen sky. She and her mother won’t be staying long in Vermont anyway, and then things can go back to the way they were before everything went wrong.

But keeping to herself isn’t easy when Ahmad Saleem, a Syrian refugee, decides he’s her new best friend. Or when she meets “the Bird Lady,” a recluse named Abigail who lives in a ramshackle shed near Ruby’s house. Before long Ahmad and Abigail have become Ruby’s friends―and she realizes there is more to their stories than everyone knows.

As ugly rumors begin to swirl around the people Ruby loves, she must make a choice: break her silence, or risk losing everything that’s come to mean so much to her. Ruby in the Sky is a story of the walls we hide behind, and the magic that can happen when we’re brave enough to break free.

中文概要: 一本令人震撼的圖像小說回憶錄，講述了知名日裔美籍演員武井穗鄉(George Takei)在二戰期間被關押在美國日本人集中營的童年故事，武井穗鄉因飾演《星際爭霸戰》(Star Trek)中的蘇魯一角而聞名。

武井穗鄉以其在《星際爭霸戰》中的迷人形象以及對於人權的倡議而贏得世界關注，但在此之前，他曾經是一個四歲男孩，有朝一日醒來發現他的國家陷入了戰爭，而他們全家被迫搬進一個集中營，從此未來充滿了不確定和不安。

1942年，美國正陷入與日本的苦戰，在羅斯福總統命令下，西海岸每個有日本血統的人都被圍捕並運送到數十個被稱為「重新安置中心」的地方，他們被迫離家數百數千公里，在有武裝警察看守的集中營被拘留多年。

本書是武井在鐵絲網背後度過的童年回憶錄，在這當中我們可以看到種族主義如何以國家法律機器實行、小男孩成長過程的喜悅與恐懼、母親的艱難抉擇、以及父親對民主的信仰和這些經歷如何成為他未來為人權和平等倡議的種子。

成為一個美國人究竟意味著什麼？由誰來決定？當整個世界都與你唱反調，你一個人又能做些什麼？為了回答這些問題，武井與作家賈斯汀·埃辛格（Justin Eisinger）和史蒂芬·史考特（Steven Scott），以及漫畫藝術家荷莫妮·貝克爾（Harmony Becker）一起重新經歷了這改變了他一生的歷程。 (Zoe)

英文简介: A stunning graphic memoir recounting actor/author/activist George Takei’s childhood imprisoned within American concentration camps during World War II. Experience the forces that shaped an American icon -- and America itself -- in this gripping tale of courage, country, loyalty, and love.

George Takei has captured hearts and minds worldwide with his captivating stage presence and outspoken commitment to equal rights. But long before he braved new frontiers in Star Trek, he woke up as a four-year-old boy to find his own birth country at war with his father’s -- and their entire family forced from their home into an uncertain future.

In 1942, at the order of President Franklin D. Roosevelt, every person of Japanese descent on the west coast was rounded up and shipped to one of ten "relocation centers," hundreds or thousands of miles from home, where they would be held for years under armed guard.

They Called Us Enemy is Takei’s firsthand account of those years behind barbed wire, the joys and terrors of growing up under legalized racism, his mother’s hard choices, his father’s faith in democracy, and the way those experiences planted the seeds for his astonishing future.

What does it mean to be American? Who gets to decide? When the world is against you, what can one person do? To answer these questions, George Takei joins co-writers Justin Eisinger & Steven Scott and artist Harmony Becker for the journey of a lifetime.
