Paperback. Condition: Good. Why are some gifted children willing to tackle new challenges whereas others seen insecure or uninterested? Why do some gifted students achieve while others become caught in a cycle of underachievement? Are there strategies teachers and parents can implement that promote an achievement-oriented attitude? The Underachieving Gifted Child: Recognizing, Understanding, and Reversing Underachievement answers these important questions. Although there are many factors that contribute to achievement, achievement-oriented students exhibit four key traits: (1) they believe that they have the skills to perform well, (2) they expect that they can succeed, (3) they believe what they are doing is meaningful, and (4) they set realistic expectations and implement strategies to successfully complete their goals. In this volume, parents and teachers will learn specific strategies to improve student achievement by improving students' attitudes in these four important areas.…

Paperback. Condition: Very Good. If I only had known what could happen, I would have made a different choice After a decade in a crisis pregnancy center, as well as counseling both Christian and non-Christian teens and speaking to millions of students through the years, Pam Stenzel has heard this statement many times. From girls and guys like you. And yes, sex is glorious. Sex is God-given. But sex outside of God's boundary has far-reaching consequences--a price tag of incalculable costs.Sex Has a Price Tag is frank but also sympathetic. Inside are searing personal testimonies, medical stats, and practical solutions; encouragement in the form of Biblical examples; support and networking options, alternatives to dating situations, and advice about abstinence, urges, the physical and emotional effects of sex, as well as where to go for help and dealing with friends, parents, and your own self-respect.…

Paperback. Condition: Good. Nobody understands quantum theory, said Richard Feynman, and in the 1980s that was true. Now John Gribbin presents exciting new evidence about the nature of light that pulls together quantum theory and relativity theory into a coherent explanation of reality - solving the quantum mysteries. John Gribbin's bestselling In Search of Schrodinger's Cat, heralded as absolutely fascinating by Isaac Asimov, was the first book to present the quantum's many riddles. Now he returns with Schrodinger's kittens, the offspring of his famously indeterminate cat. As a way of visualizing the many perplexing paradoxes of the new view of reality, Gribbin carries them to opposite ends of the universe, where their fate is determined by signals that travel faster than light and backwards in time. Elsewhere in the mysterious quantum world there are photons capable of being in two places at the same time. All this has much more than just theoretical interest. The practical applications are equally astounding. They provide for the serious possibility that quantum theory could eventually be used to develop a Star Trek-style teleportation machine, and how it has already found applications in uncrackable codes.…

Paperback. Condition: Fair. Shadow Tag is a stunning tour-de-force from Louise Erdrich, the bestselling author of The Plague of Doves and National Book Award-winner The Round House.
