    Entering school, in order to pursue early childhood education from 3 to 6 years old, constitutes a key moment in the child's life. The little one is usually excited and proud to enter the "elder's court", although this is not always the case and there may be some situations that parents must control. In any case, to avoid possible problems at this stage, the child always needs to feel close to his parents. At three years of age, and even earlier, it is convenient for him to begin to adapt to new situations: he will have to discover that his teacher cannot only take care of him, that some classmates are a little more active and others less, that he is not the only one, and that the days are long and sometimes tiring.
    * What should be done to support him in this adventure?
    * How to prepare him for his entry into school?
    * What will you really learn?
    * What should we do if you are not comfortable with your teacher?
    * What if he fights with a certain frequency, or is only in the breaks?
    * How to act if one day you don't want to go to school?

    “A major contribution not just to tobacco control research but also to research on global governance and public health . . . thorough [and] compelling.” —Frank J. Chaloupka IV, Institute for Health Research and Policy, University of Illinois–Chicago 
     
    As the era of globalization progressed, the tobacco industry capitalized on its elements—including trade liberalization, foreign direct investment, and global communications—to expand into countries where effective tobacco control programs were not in place. As a consequence, tobacco became the leading cause of preventable death in the world, killing more people each year than HIV, malaria, and tuberculosis combined. 
     
    In the mid-1990s, a committed group of public health professionals and institutions sought to challenge the tobacco industry’s expansion by negotiating a binding international law under the auspices of the World Health Organization. The WHO Framework Convention on Tobacco Control (FCTC)—the first collective global response to the causation of avoidable chronic disease—was one of the most quickly ratified treaties in United Nations history. In The Global War on Tobacco, Heather Wipfli tells the engaging story of the FCTC, from its start as an unlikely civil society proposal to its enactment in 178 countries as of June 2014. Wipfli also reveals how globalization offers anti-tobacco advocates significant cooperative opportunities to share knowledge and address cross-border public health problems. 
     
    The book—the first to delve deeply into the origin and development of the FCTC—seeks to advance understanding of how non-state actors, transnational networks, and international institutionalization can impact global governance for health. Case studies from a variety of diverse high-, middle-, and low-income countries provide real-world examples of the success or failure of tobacco control. Written with public health professionals and students in mind, The Global War on Tobacco is a fascinating look at how international relations is changing to respond to the modern global marketplace and protect human health.

    “Essays by 42 incredible public-school teachers who articulate their passion for a crucial but underappreciated profession . . . powerful.” —Booklist 
     
    The author of The Courage to Give and Teens with the Courage to Give now presents the stories of forty-two incredible teachers and the ways they went beyond the call of duty to make a difference in the lives of their students. In these inspiring pages you’ll meet Trish Hill, a teacher from Fort Worth, Texas, who underwent radiation and chemotherapy without missing a day of school because her first graders gave her energy and courage, and Alison Frost, a drama teacher in Houston who makes casting decisions knowing that the role may be better for the student than the student for the role. Then there’s Francis Mustapha, a teacher born in a small village in Africa, who teaches in Fort Wayne, Indiana, and was moved by the tragedy of a student’s suicide to create an opportunity for other students to succeed. 
     
    Through their courageous first-person stories, these men and women prove that teachers are true everyday heroes—and inspire us to make a difference too.
