Book excerpt: The true extent of human evil is revealed in this suspenseful thriller in which children are stolen—and sold online Children disappear all the time—but where do they go? While covering a missing-child case for a tabloid newspaper, washed-up reporter Bentley Noble accidentally stumbles upon a horrifying lead. What he thought was a single kidnapping leads him to discover a human trafficking ring, specializing in sexually obedient children. Noble slowly uncovers a society so depraved that it can only be classified as evil; its members are no ordinary pedophiles, but rather professionals. United by their Satanist beliefs, they’re willing to use any means necessary to train their “merchandise”—and keep Noble from uncovering their business. With the help of a hacker, a researcher, and a true-crime writer, Noble descends into the dark world of human trafficking. But in order to destroy it, he’ll have to gamble not only his life, but also his sanity. Shackled, author Ray Garton’s most controversial work yet, is not for the faint of heart—or stomach.

Download or read book Adolescent Psychology in Today s World written by Michael J. Nakkula and published by Bloomsbury Publishing USA. This book was released on 2018-11-02 with total page 1090 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This groundbreaking three-volume set spotlights how conditions around the world are affecting the healthy development of adolescents in their respective environments, on all six continents. Continually unstable or perpetually poor economic conditions, globalization, and rapid technological change are just three of the forces affecting a group 1.2 billion strong today, a demographic poised to become our world leaders and catalysts in the not-too-distant future: the world's adolescents. Led by two editors who have been dedicated to studying adolescent development worldwide for decades, this novel collection of works from contributors in more than 40 countries emphasizes how possibilities for healthy mental and physical development are affected by the difficulties youths face in their countries and how these challenges have shaped, and are shaping, contemporary teenage life today. The set comprehensively addresses issues for adolescents across the globe, such as the day-to-day challenges of poverty, inadequate education, violence or war, disease, reproductive matters, globalization and technological challenges, and more, while also providing a strengths-based focus in the volumes, showing how and why some teenagers in each country have surmounted the challenges and forged stronger characters to better their worlds. These stories document more than personal victories, and their experiences matter to far more than the adolescents themselves. In its State of the World's Children 2011 report, UNICEF noted that the world community needs to turn its attention to adolescents in need, explaining that focusing on this large and potentially powerful group makes economic sense as well as being a necessary step in working towards achieving human justice. By addressing the risks, challenges, and strengths of teenagers as a group in countries worldwide, this work serves to break the cycle of poverty, violence, discrimination, and death for adolescents.

The spirit either soars with the prospect of exploring new territory or retreats to hide until the feeling of safety returns. Allow your confusion to be your teacher.” LION ROARS: “Embrace the animal kingdom. Watch us. The behavior we display is a lesson for you. We ask not to be tamed, but to be heard. Know that every time you look at us, we are looking back at you. Walk like the mighty cat you are—with silent strength, determination, and courage in each step; with patience and experience in your pace; and with your purpose gleaming in your eyes. Remember the rhythms and heartbeats of life in the wild.” GREAT SPIRIT ADVISES: “Find the doorway within. Wisdom is the key that unlocks the door from the physical world to spiritual realms. There are many ways to reach enlightenment. Experience the magnificent, universal aspect of your being. You have the permission and power to do this, and need only the will—it is up to you. Uncover your past to understand your present situation. The answers lie within you, and await your discovery.”
