  It’s a common belief that growth is an effortless journey, yet true growth often brings unexpected challenges that shape our cognitive behaviors. For kids and teenagers, these challenges often manifest as anxiety, depression, and trauma—formidable obstacles to their emotional and mental well-being. 
  As children transition into adolescence, they grapple with fitting into new environments and navigating the changes that puberty brings. Coupled with stress from school and potentially unhealthy home environments, these factors can overwhelm young minds, leaving them emotionally and mentally unstable. When left unaddressed, anxiety and depression can trap teenagers in a cycle of hopelessness. But there is hope—cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) offers a path to confidence and resilience. 
  The Definitive CBT Toolkit for Kids and Teens to Fight Anxiety, Depression, and Trauma bridges the gap between emotions, thoughts, and behaviors by identifying and modifying unhealthy reasoning patterns. This book is a powerful guide designed specifically for beginners, packed with practical strategies, expert insights, and evidence-based techniques. 
  Inside, you’ll discover the fundamentals of CBT, how to build healthy coping mechanisms, and the importance of adopting positive thinking patterns. Each chapter is crafted to help young readers take charge of their mental health, fostering self-awareness and resilience. The challenges you face do not define you; with strength and the right tools, you can overcome them and thrive. 
  This comprehensive guide covers understanding anxiety, depression, and trauma in young minds, building trust, changing negative thoughts and beliefs, practicing mindfulness and self-awareness, and offering specific strategies for overcoming anxiety, beating depression, and healing from trauma. It also provides tips for maintaining long-term well-being to ensure lasting mental health improvements.

  Come home Charley Patton

  Come home Charley Patton is a moving and an imaginative memoir documenting the Civil Rights Era and contemporary southern culture. Intricately layered and deeply arresting, Ralph Lemon's research on the African American experience intertwines personal anecdotes and family remembrances with diaristic accounts of the making of a dance, as Lemon journeys the mythic roads of migration—visiting the sites of lynchings, following the paths of Civil Rights marches, and meeting the descendants of early blues musicians. Come home Charley Patton is a rich, transcendent text, and a historically-charged meditation on memory in America. It is a formidable finale for the Geography trilogy (including Geography and Tree), three books connected thematically by racial identity and the related dance projects choreographed by Lemon. Generously illustrated with family photos, original art, and photos of the performance, the book will take its place in the canon of great African American writing.

  Majestic 12: The History and...

  When people think about unidentified flying objects (UFOs), they tend to think of flying discs piloted by gray beings with large heads and enormous eyes. They tend to think that these sightings only started relatively recently and that belief in UFOs is some sort of modern religion brought on, perhaps, by the very justifiable fears of a nuclear age. But a study of the phenomenon quickly reveals that people have been seeing UFOs since the beginning of recorded history and perhaps a lot longer than that. 
  	Naturally, as technological advances and the creation of flying aircraft became realities, the sighting of UFOs increased, as did the interest in potential contact with aliens.  Some of the American investigations of UFOs from the 1940s and 1950s were documented, but nothing exemplifies the debate between those who believe that extraterrestrials visit the Earth and skeptics than the top secret papers that emerged in the 1980s and seemed to prove the existence of a shadowy secret organization known as MJ-12 or Majestic 12. To believers, these papers proved beyond a doubt not only that UFOs were real and of extraterrestrial origin, but also that the federal government had been aware of this since the 1940s and had even managed to recover one or more crashed alien spacecrafts. To skeptics, this notion simply proved how gullible UFO believers were. There was no middle ground - people either believed in the MJ-12 papers completely or laughed at them. 
  	Decades later, it’s finally possible to take a more balanced view of the history of the MJ-12 papers, including where these documents originated from and who created them. It now seems virtually certain that there never was an organization called Majestic 12 and that the papers describing it were faked, but what makes the story truly fascinating is that it now also appears likely that these papers were faked by people actually working within the Air Force or another government agency.
