Girls normally grow on several developmental strands at the same time, though they grow at different rates. This is the reason why the teenage years are stressful for girls and their parents.Teenage development has been studied by experts and there is a blueprint to their development. Understanding how girls think and behave will illuminate parents and enables them to guide their daughters well.

The Oldest Code of Laws in the...

Hammurabi

"The Oldest Code of Laws in the World" is a compilation of legal codes created by Hammurabi, the sixth king of Babylon, in ancient Mesopotamia. This work dates back to the 18th century BCE and is one of the earliest known examples of a legal system in human history. 
The codes cover a wide range of legal issues, including property rights, inheritance, slavery, marriage and divorce, trade, and crimes and punishments. They provide insights into the social order and cultural norms of the time, as well as the role of law and justice in ancient Mesopotamia. 
Hammurabi's codes were based on the principle of divine authority, with the king as the ultimate arbiter of justice. They reflected the social hierarchy of the time, with different punishments prescribed for different classes of people. The codes were also designed to promote social order and stability, with harsh punishments prescribed for those who disrupted the peace. 
"The Oldest Code of Laws in the World" is a fascinating glimpse into the legal and moral codes of ancient Mesopotamia, and it continues to be a source of inspiration for scholars and students of history, law, and culture. It is a testament to the enduring legacy of one of the world's greatest civilizations

Survival of the Sickest - A...

Dr. Sharon Moalem, Jonathan Prince

How did a deadly genetic disease help our ancestors survive the bubonic plagues of Europe? Was diabetes evolution's response to the last Ice Age? Will a visit to the tanning salon help bring down your cholesterol? Why do we age? Why are some people immune to HIV? Can your genes be turned on—or off? 
Survival of the Sickest reveals the answers to these and many other questions as it unravels the amazing connections between evolution, disease, and human health today. 
Joining the ranks of modern myth busters, Dr. Sharon Moalem turns our current understanding of illness on its head and challenges us to fundamentally change the way we think about our bodies, our health, and our relationship to just about every other living thing on earth, from plants and animals to insects and bacteria. 
Survival of the Sickest is filled with fascinating insights and cutting-edge research, presented in a way that is both accessible and utterly absorbing. This is a book about the interconnectedness of all life on earth—and, especially, what that means for us. 
Read it. You're already living it.
