Download or read book The Case of the Crumbling Crystals written by Pat Morrissey and published by Xlibris Corporation. This book was released on 2007-12 with total page 98 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A science fiction, mystery adventure for the young adult Trina Trianna considered herself a pretty normal 13-year-old. She loved her parents (most of the time), loved her friends (most of the time), studied hard (some of the time) and dreamed about being an astrologer (absolutely all of the time)! In her hometown of Alexandria, Egypt, in the Year 2433, life went on pretty much as it had for centuries. Sure, Trina used a hologram projection of herself to "try on" her clothes to find just the right outfit. And she had her very own robot to tutor her in astrology. But, over all, her life was quite unexciting. That is, until Tony, a ghost from Jupiter, came to visit. Once Tony arrived, things started happening. They discovered a place where the earth seemed to be disintegrating. While trying to uncover the reason, Trina found that she too seemed to be disintegrating. When her mom took her to the doctor, she learned that a very cute - but notoriously stuck up - young aristocrat named Ethan had the same problem she did. While following the trail of the mystery, Trina, Tony and Ethan met a gigantic crystal that talked, flew a jet helicopter into restricted air space, and got tied up in a cave and left for dead. By using astrology to search for clues, they managed to solve the mystery and earn the gratitude of the entire solar system.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This detailed, exhaustively documented account shows how and why just about everyone in today's teen pregnancy debate is wrong—often disastrously so. Teenage Sex and Pregnancy: Modern Myths, Unsexy Realities presents a unique view of its subject by analyzing the extensive myths and fears that surround discussion of teenage sex and pregnancy, including their relationship to popular culture, poverty, adult sexual behaviors, and anxieties toward the increasingly public roles of young women. Award-winning author Mike Males argues that today's discussions rely largely on falsehoods and the suppression of crucial realities. His work details a new view of popular culture as a largely beneficial feature of teens' lives and presents a carefully documented analysis demolishing destructive myths about the "new girl." Debunking popular arguments, he shows that the "teen sex" debate is mired in interest-group talking points that ignore difficult realities to advance politically attuned agendas. It's time, he writes, to modernize the discussion, recognizing that teens act in ways consistent with their interests, with the sexual behaviors of adults, and with the school and job opportunities afforded them.
