Paperback. Condition: Good. With gentle humor and a light touch, Marlon and the Scary Something explores the themes of facing your fears, finding courage and getting back on your feet. Out for an early morning romp, Marlon, a spunky cat full of mischief, stumbles into an animal he's never seen before. Whoops Marlon is scared. What should he do? Try to make friends? Follow his fear and run? Fearing the animal is about to pounce on him, Marlon scurries home to hide. All day his thoughts circle round and round as he frets about the creature. He asks his friend Silky, a sensible sparrow, for advice. Yes, Marlon is the kind of cat who can make friends with a sparrow. Silky tells him the scary something is probably not dangerous. So, Marlon warily steps outside to try again. When the animal (a shaggy dog named Kukka) bounds toward him, it's too much for Marlon and he scrambles back home. Not knowing what to think, he's soon caught in a web of worry. As he struggles to untangle his anxious feelings, he goes to Momma Cat for help. She's wise in the ways of the heart and mind and helps him calm his fears. Armed with new coping skills, Marlon summons his courage and goes out to face the unknown. In a brave moment, Marlon offers Kukka the paw of friendship and the book ends in a joyful romp. Welcome to Book #2 of Marlon's Marvelous Adventures.

Paperback. Condition: Fair. Shows how our flawed strategies for perceiving risk influence our lives, often with unforeseen and sometimes - tragic consequences. This book uncovers one of the central puzzles of our time: why are the safest people in history living in a culture of fear.

Paperback. Condition: Good. In the tradition of Malcolm Gladwell, Gardner explores a new way of thinking about the decisions we make. We are the safest and healthiest human beings who ever lived, and yet irrational fear is growing, with deadly consequences -- such as the 1,595 Americans killed when they made the mistake of switching from planes to cars after September 11. In part, this irrationality is caused by those -- politicians, activists, and the media -- who promote fear for their own gain. Culture also matters. But a more fundamental cause is human psychology. Working with risk science pioneer Paul Slovic, author Dan Gardner sets out to explain in a compulsively readable fashion just what that statement above means as to how we make decisions and run our lives. We learn that the brain has not one but two systems to analyze risk. One is primitive, unconscious, and intuitive. The other is conscious and rational. The two systems often agree, but occasionally they come to very different conclusions. When that happens, we can find ourselves worrying about what the statistics tell us is a trivial threat -- terrorism, child abduction, cancer caused by chemical pollution -- or shrugging off serious risks like obesity and smoking. Gladwell told us about the black box of our brains; Gardner takes us inside, helping us to understand how to deconstruct the information we're bombarded with and respond more logically and adaptively to our world. Risk>is cutting-edge reading.…
