Download or read book Georgia Under Water written by Heather Sellers and published by ReadHowYouWant.com. This book was released on 2010-11-26 with total page 282 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Meet Georgia. She lives in Florida and she's never far from the ocean or a pool. She's a nail-chewer, a scab-picker, a daydreamer, and everything that a little girl struggling under the awkward pain of growing up should be. She's the child-hero of the nine linked stories in Heather Sellers' Georgia Under Water, and her family, no matter how hard she tries, is going in all directions 'like a man-o-war after you poured sugar on it. 'In her remarkable debut collection, Sellers offers an honest, bittersweet, and often funny picture of adolescence. Georgia is the daughter of an alcoholic father and a despairing mother, and she's torn between pleasing her parents and saving herself. She knows what it's like to straddle a fence with barking dogs on both sides. 'I knew this: we love our parents because we have been inside of them. They haven't been in us. It's hard for them to be kind. It's easier when you've come from within. 'Heather Sellers' unpretentious, vernacular prose allows Georgia a persuasive mix of innocence and experience. She gives her young heroine a voice perfectly balanced, deftly avoiding both nostalgia and bitter condemnation. These are miraculous stories of survival, perhaps even forgiveness. To some of us Georgia's life would be unthinkable. Sellers makes us believe it is well worth living.

Book excerpt: The poems in this book tell a coming-of-age story set in a Florida both lush and oppressive, where similar paradoxes confront the child who would be both open to everything and permanently safe.

Download or read book Psychobabble and Biobunk written by Carol Tavris and published by Pearson. This book was released on 2011 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This revised and updated handbook features a selection of essay-style book reviews by Carol Tavris, written for the Times Literary Supplement, The Chronicle of Higher Education, American Scientist, and The New York Times Book Review. These reviews apply psychological research and principles of scientific thinking to ideas presented in the books. They aim to show how critical thinking can help people assess arguments promoted in the popular culture, and how to separate those that are scientifically sound from those based on "psychobabble"-pop-psych notions dressed up in fancy, sciency-sounding language. These essays may be used to encourage debate in the classroom or as a basis for student papers. Students can be asked to write or present their own points of view on a topic, drawing on other research and the guidelines of critical thinking (defined and described in a prefatory "Note to the Reader") to support their conclusions. Although these reviews can be used in many social science and composition courses, the topics covered and the critical-thinking guidelines that apply to them correspond to specific material in Carole Wade and Carol Tavris's Psychology and Invitation to Psychology.

Download or read book Taytay s Tales written by Elizabeth Willis De Huff and published by . This book was released on 2008-10 with total page 164 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Taytay s Tales were collected for a little girl with an insatiable thirst for stories. The first ones were gotten by chance from the young Indian boy who has kindly illustrated this collection. Ann enjoyed them so thoroughly that we teased and cajoled other Indians into telling us other folktales, and so the number and our joy in them grew. We think perhaps other little children - and some grown-ups, too - may derive the same pleasure from them, so we should like to share our stories.
