Sinopsis

Teen Addiction explores why adolescents are particularly vulnerable to substance abuse and other addictive behaviors, delving into the psychological, social, and neurological factors at play. It highlights how the developing adolescent brain, still undergoing significant changes in areas like impulse control and decision-making, makes teenagers more susceptible to risky experimentation. Furthermore, the book examines the powerful influence of the social environment, including peer pressure and social media, in shaping teen behaviors and contributing to potential addiction.

The book progresses from an introduction to addiction and adolescent development, through key areas such as the impact of peer pressure, the correlation between mental health and substance abuse, and strategies for intervention. It offers a nuanced understanding of addiction, emphasizing the interplay of neurological immaturity, social sensitivity, and psychological vulnerabilities. This approach allows parents, educators, and policymakers to implement targeted prevention strategies. For example, understanding the neurological impact of addiction can help tailor communication strategies with teens.

The book also takes a strength-based approach, focusing on resilience factors to protect adolescents. Teen Addiction uniquely synthesizes research from neuroscience, psychology, and sociology to provide evidence-based advice. Ultimately, it serves as a practical toolkit for parents, educators, and anyone working with teenagers, offering insights and strategies to navigate the challenges of teen addiction and promote healthy development.

On the Canal - The Marines of...

Ore J Marion, Thomas Cuddihy,...

A gripping true story of the WWII Guadalcanal Campaign—told with no-holds-barred honesty and humor by a Marine who was there. In August of 1942, Allied forces led by U.S. Marines came ashore on Guadalcanal, launching the first major land offensive against Imperial Japan. M. Sgt. Ore J. Marion of L Company, 3rd Battalion, 5th Regiment was among them. Here, Marion and other men of L-3-5 share a personal account of their experiences over the course of this grueling and protracted campaign.  The stories contained in these pages are harrowing, profane, heartbreaking, irreverent, and deeply human. As with many personal accounts, some memories recorded here are at odds with the official accounts in Washington’s archives. Rather than presenting a clean and consistent narrative, On the Canal reflects the messy business of warfare and human memory.
