  How We See Us - Young People...

  In How We See Us, Michaela Leslie-Rule amplifies the voices of young people approaching adulthood as they consider their experiences, needs, and goals for their education, early careers, and lives. Leslie-Rule encourages adults who support young people to listen more closely to youth voices so that their perspectives are centered in interventions made on their behalf. 
   
   
   
  Based on in-depth interviews, surveys, and focus groups of nearly 4,000 students from Black and Hispanic communities and low-income households in both urban and rural regions across the United States, the book finds thoughtful self-reflection and an optimistic mindset in the stories of the youths' successes and challenges. The rich accounts of how they experience their identities, communities, education, and employment refute dominant narratives that so often frame their abilities in terms of deficits and that suggest that young people, and students of color especially, live in a perpetual state of crisis. 
   
   
   
  Leslie-Rule advocates for listening more deeply to young people and provides a framework to improve practice. Such consideration, she argues, enables educators, policymakers, and researchers to better address the barriers students experience in building and navigating pathways to education, career, and adulthood.

  Older Generations - An Overview...

  This book combo contains the following three titles: 
  Boomers Uncovered - "Boomers Uncovered" seeks to explore the life and legacy of the Baby Boomer generation, examining their profound influence on society, culture, and history. Born in the years following World War II, Baby Boomers shaped the world in ways both seen and unseen, leaving an indelible mark on the world stage. This generation, defined by its optimism, resourcefulness, and rapid growth, experienced some of the most transformative decades in modern history. They not only witnessed but were active participants in the cultural, political, and technological revolutions that defined the second half of the 20th century. 
  Life as a Silent Gen - The Silent Generation, born between the mid-1920s and the early 1940s, is often characterized by its quiet strength and resilience. Unlike the more outspoken Baby Boomers or the politically vocal Millennials, members of this generation are sometimes referred to as the “silent” because they were raised in an era where conformity and restraint were the societal norms. Their lives unfolded during some of the most transformative and tumultuous events of the 20th century, including the Great Depression, World War II, and the early stages of the Cold War. 
  The X Factor - Generation X grew up in a rapidly changing world, marked by technological advancements, shifts in family dynamics, and significant political and economic changes. Many Gen Xers were raised during a time of uncertainty, from the economic recessions of the 1970s and early 1980s to the growing divorce rates and the rise of single-parent households. These formative experiences influenced their outlook on life, instilling in them a sense of independence, resilience, and adaptability. As a result, Generation X is often characterized as the "latchkey generation," having to navigate childhood with a degree of self-reliance that was uncommon in earlier times.

  Oncology is the branch of medicine that focuses on the diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of cancer. It encompasses a wide range of practices, including understanding the biology of cancer, identifying risk factors, exploring therapeutic approaches, and addressing the challenges faced by patients with cancer. The discipline is vital to improving the lives of millions of people worldwide, with ongoing research aimed at advancing our knowledge and capabilities in combating the disease. 
  Cancer, a term used to describe a group of diseases characterized by uncontrolled cell growth, has been a significant health concern for centuries. It occurs when normal cells acquire genetic mutations that enable them to grow and divide uncontrollably, forming tumors or affecting other parts of the body. Despite significant advances in medical science, cancer remains a leading cause of death, highlighting the need for continued innovation in oncology. 
  The importance of oncology lies not only in the treatment of cancer but also in early detection and prevention. Through advancements in diagnostic techniques, clinicians can identify cancers at an earlier stage when treatment options are more effective, leading to better outcomes. The evolving field of oncology also involves interdisciplinary care, combining surgery, radiation, chemotherapy, immunotherapy, and targeted therapies to provide personalized treatment regimens that are tailored to the individual needs of patients.
