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.

The Dad Rock That Made Me A Woman

Niko Stratis

A memoir-in-essays on transness, dad rock, and the music that saves us. 
 
 
 
When Wilco's 2007 album Sky Blue Sky was infamously criticized as "dad rock," Niko Stratis was a twenty-five-year-old closeted trans woman working in her dad's glass shop in the Yukon Territory. As she sought escape from her hypermasculine environment, Stratis found an unlikely lifeline amid dad rock's emotionally open and honest music. Listening to dad rock, Stratis could access worlds beyond her own and imagine a path forward. 
 
 
 
In taut, searing essays rendered in propulsive and unguarded prose, Stratis delves into the emotional core of bands like Wilco and The National, telling her story through the dad rock that accompanied her along the way. She found footing in Michael Stipe's allusions to queer longing, Radiohead's embrace of unknowability, and Bruce Springsteen's very trans desire to "change my clothes my hair my face"—and she found in artists like Neko Case and Sharon Van Etten that the label transcends gender. A love letter to the music that saves us and a tribute to dads like Stratis's own who embody the tenderness at the genre's heart, The Dad Rock That Made Me a Woman rejoices in music unafraid to bare its soul.

Getting Russia Right - 1st Edition

Thomas Graham

As US-Russian relations scrape the depths of cold-war antagonism, the promise of partnership that beguiled American administrations during the first post-Soviet decades increasingly appears to have been false from the start. Why did American leaders persist in pursuing it? Was there another path that would have produced more constructive relations or better prepared Washington to face the challenge Russia poses today? 
 
 
 
With a practitioner's eye honed during decades of work on Russian affairs, Thomas Graham deftly traces the evolution of opposing ideas of national purpose that created an inherent tension in relations. Getting Russia Right identifies the blind spots that prevented Washington from seeing Russia as it really is and crafting a policy to advance American interests without provoking an aggressive Russian response. Distilling the Putin factor to reveal the contours of the Russia challenge facing the United States whenever he departs the scene, Graham lays out a compelling way to deal with it so that the United States can continue to advance its interests in a rapidly changing world.

America Goddam - Violence Black...

Treva B. Lindsey

Reckons with violence against Black women in America and their resilient fight for liberation 
 
America, Goddam explores the combined force of antiBlackness, misogyny, patriarchy, and capitalism in the lives of Black women and girls in the United States today. Through personal accounts and hard-hitting analysis, Black feminist  
historian Treva B. Lindsey starkly assesses the forms and legacies of violence against Black women and girls, as well as their demands for justice for themselves and their communities. 
 
Combining history, theory, and memoir, this book renders visible the gender dynamics of antiBlack violence. Black women and girls occupy a unique status of vulnerability to harm and death, while the circumstances and traumas of this  
violence go underreported and understudied. Lindsey also shows that the sanctity of life and liberty of Black women is rarely the focus of Black freedom movements.  
 
Defying this omission, Black women have led movements demanding justice for Breonna Taylor, Sandra Bland, Toyin Salau, Riah Milton, Aiyana Stanley-Jones, and countless other Black women and girls. Across generations and centuries, their  
refusal to remain silent about violence against them led many to envisioning and building toward Black liberation through organizing and radical politics. Echoing the energy of Nina Simone’s searing protest song that inspired the title, America,  
Goddam is a call to action in our collective journey toward just futures.

Population: 485

Mike Perry’s extraordinary and thoughtful account of meeting the people of his small hometown by joining the fire and rescue team was a breakout hit that “swells with unadorned heroism” (USA Today) 
Welcome to New Auburn, Wisconsin (population: 485) where the local vigilante is a farmer’s wife armed with a pistol and a Bible, the most senior member of the volunteer fire department is a cross-eyed butcher with one kidney and two ex-wives (both of whom work at the only gas station in town), and the back roads are haunted by the ghosts of children and farmers. Michael Perry loves this place. He grew up here, and now-after a decade away-he has returned. 
Unable to polka or repair his own pickup, his farm-boy hands gone soft after years of writing, Mike figures the best way to regain his credibility is to join the volunteer fire department. Against a backdrop of fires and tangled wrecks, bar fights and smelt feeds, he tells a frequently comic tale leavened with moments of heartbreaking delicacy and searing tragedy.  
Tracing his calls on a map in the little firehouse, he sees “a dense, benevolent web, spun one frantic zigzag at a time” from which the story of a tiny town emerges.
