  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.

  "Power, Pleasure, and Pain: A Study of Abuse Through Time" delves into the dark history of how sexual violence and abuse have been intertwined with power structures throughout history. From the libertine excesses of figures like the Marquis de Sade to the scandals of modern-day predators like Harvey Weinstein and R. Kelly, this book provides a compelling examination of how those in power have used their positions to exploit and control others. 
  Spanning centuries, this critical exploration looks at the societal, cultural, and institutional failures that have enabled abusers to operate with impunity. Sean Dupree uses both historical and contemporary examples to highlight the systemic nature of sexual violence, tracing its roots back to philosophical and psychological underpinnings of dominance and submission. 
  Whether dissecting the abuse of power in religious institutions, entertainment, or the workplace, this study leaves no stone unturned. "Power, Pleasure, and Pain" is a powerful reminder that, despite the progress made by movements like #MeToo, much work remains to be done in holding abusers accountable and supporting survivors of sexual violence.

  Hair Power - Essays on Control...

  Hair is potent. Its presence and its absence has profound influence upon our lives, across race, gender, sexuality, status, and more. It will grow in places you don't like and it may desert you – suddenly, or gradually. Whatever your experience, you have had a relationship with hair and its power. Kajal Odedra considers how hair has shaped society today, from the 'perfect' blondes in the school playground to the angry skinheads on the streets. Mohawks, wigs, afros, these are just a few of the ways in which hair has been part of history and wider activism. The word 'essay' derives from the French 'essayer', meaning 'to try' or 'to attempt'. This is Odedra's 'try' at hair – part memoir, part observation across history, politics, religion, and culture. Hair/Power explores the power, control and ultimate liberation that hair can provide.
