The Panorama of the City of New York

Marc H. Miller, Kenneth T. Jackson, Valerie Paley, Vyjayanthi V. Rao

Sinopsis

The first book to celebrate the miniature-scale model The Panorama of the City of New York.
An awe-inspiring metropolis in miniature, The Panorama of the City of New York has achieved cult-like status with New Yorkers and serves as a locus of memory for visitors from around the globe. This is the first book to fully celebrate The Panorama, featuring accessible text and photographs of its conception, creation, and enjoyment.
The Panorama was one of the most successful attractions at the 1964–65 World's Fair, with millions enjoying what was billed as an indoor helicopter tour of New York. Comprising an area of 9,335 square feet and built to a scale of 1:1200 (where one inch equals 100 feet), the original 1964 mini city was updated multiple times before its last renovation in 1992. Within the 320 square miles of New York City represented on The Panorama, you can find 850,000 buildings, more than 100 bridges, and almost all of the city's parks and streets.
Now part of the permanent exhibition at the Queens Museum, the Panorama brings the magic of New York to life to thousands of visitors each year.

Giftedness - How to Help Smart...

Angela Wayning

Take advantage of this three-book bundle, which gives you a better deal than if you were to just buy one of them. The book contains the following titles:
Title 1: Gifted children often have a hard time staying focused on one thing, unless it’s something they are passionate about. Then they are hyper-focused. This and other problems can be address when talking to teachers, as well as the fact that some gifted kids seem to underachieve for various reasons. The best ways to motivate your gifted children are here, as well as tactics to deal with bullies, which often target more sensitive and intelligent children. Bullying is one of the last topics addressed in this guide: How to talk about it with the teacher, how to avoid becoming a target more quickly, and how to make it go away.
Title 2: In this brief guide to giftedness, we will assess and critically examine the results of IQ-tests and their significance. We will also look at the homework problems many gifted children face, with their particular set of grey matter, and why schools often fail to meet the needs of those same children, because let’s face it: The schools often have no clue what to do with them, how to challenge them properly, or how to adapt a program to their constant drive to explore, discover, and be more creative.
Title 3: Most gifted children are intelligent because their senses are sharp and intense, and this can result in strong feelings of self-reflection and dramas over nothing. Sometimes, they may say that things that are easy, are actually hard, or they are unwilling to push through with certain things. So, how do you deal with that? In this book, we’ll talk about that, as well as some of the prevention efforts to make sure your highly intelligent child won’t become the victim of bullying. We’ll also touch on the question of whether you should homeschool your child or not, something that many parents struggle with.

5 Types of Eating Disorders -...

John Harpoon

Eating disorders are complex mental health conditions that affect millions of people worldwide. They go beyond simple concerns about food and body weight, influencing emotional well-being, self-esteem, and overall health. While many associate eating disorders with extreme thinness or excessive eating, the reality is that they exist on a spectrum, affecting individuals in diverse ways. These disorders are not merely lifestyle choices; they are serious medical conditions with potentially life-threatening consequences. Understanding the different types of eating disorders is essential for identifying warning signs, promoting early intervention, and supporting those who struggle with disordered eating behaviors.
The causes of eating disorders are multifaceted, involving genetic, psychological, and environmental factors. Societal pressures and unrealistic beauty standards contribute significantly to the development of these conditions, as media portrayal of body ideals often distorts self-perception. Additionally, personal experiences such as trauma, stress, and co-occurring mental health conditions like anxiety or depression can increase vulnerability to disordered eating patterns. Recognizing these risk factors helps in fostering a more empathetic and informed approach to addressing eating disorders.
One of the greatest challenges in combating eating disorders is the stigma and misinformation surrounding them. Many people believe that individuals can simply “snap out of it” or that eating disorders only affect young women. However, they impact people of all ages, genders, and backgrounds. Some disorders, such as anorexia and bulimia, are more widely recognized, while others, like avoidant/restrictive food intake disorder (ARFID) and orthorexia, remain relatively unknown despite their serious consequences. This lack of awareness often prevents individuals from seeking help, delaying diagnosis and treatment.
