A Guide to Childhood Injuries and Illnesses

Last year America’s 76 million children made 27 million trips to hospital emergency departments—one for every three children. That represents a lot of fevers, coughs, sore ears, twisted ankles, and broken bones, plus the wide gamut of other illnesses and injuries children can experience. Whether or not an emergency room visit was warranted for each of these visits, however, is an entirely different story. Keeping Your Kids Out of the Emergency Room is an essential guide to the most common illnesses, injuries, and ailments that send kids to the ER, and when particular symptoms warrant those trips or not. Christopher Johnson, a seasoned pediatrician, offers a go-to resource for all new parents and parents of young children, providing solid information on those instances when a trip to the ER is essential, when a trip to the doctor will suffice, and when a wait and see approach works best. He tackles all the most common ailments that cause parents to wonder if they should take their child to the emergency department. Since these problems appear as a bundle of symptoms, not a diagnosis, the book is organized around what parents actually see in front of them. It also teaches parents how emergency departments work, so the experience is understandable when a trip to the ER is essential. With this helpful guide, any parent can learn practical things about which pediatric health problems need immediate attention, which do not, and how to tell the two apart. Knowing the differences, and understanding those situations that require immediate care and those that don’t, may help parents avoid the emergency room and still get the best care for their child in the meantime. Every new parent, or parent of young children, will find here a ready introduction to the most common childhood ailments, and when they rise to the level of true emergencies. Knowing what to do before a child becomes ill or injured will help parents make informed decisions when situations arise. [more]

Beginning with events that fired her passion on the bleak, mafia-controlled streets of post-communist Russia, Mission to Teach: The Life and Legacy of a Revolutionary Educator recounts the incredible journey of Dr. Jhumki Basu. Mission to Teach chronicles the brutal murder of her dearest mentor and onset of breast cancer at age 24, to her founding of a public school in an embattled New York borough where she forged an inclusive teaching model that dramatically improved completion rates, to a unique professorship at New York University and untimely death and continuing legacy. Narrated by Jhumki’s father, Dipak Basu, a writer and humanitarian, Mission to Teach is about: • An enquiry into the public education system, especially as pertains to science • A manifesto in favor of highly rational yet impassioned living • The all-encompassing strength of family and friends and the investment in bonds that endure • A breathless sense of the pace of one’s life; how it should be, how much one can do when fully alive, and how much one can leave behind “I am among those who feel genuinely blessed to have known her.” - Dr. Condoleezza Rice, Former U.S. Secretary of State “Brave and beautifully crafted, this riveting book … will leave you both mesmerized and inspired.” - John Moir, award-winning author of Return of the Condor Learn more at missiontoteach.org.

"Beary much so," I sang out as I hit the machine's buttons vigorously until I kicked his arse with my majestic skills. Not literally speaking since it was only luck, but he didn't have to know that. "Not berry funny," Dimitri pouted as he turned to face me. "If Dimi actually Dimitry, he would Dimi-get it." I blurted like an idiot. I wanted to facepalm my face. No, I wanted to facepalm the woman who gave birth to such an idiot. Mara Starr isn't social; she would probably drop dead the day a boy even looked at her with the 'eyes'(the I-love-you eyes). She's the loner you would find hovering over any kind of electrical device or book in a corner of any room. She can't take big crowds because they freak her out and she fears lighting storms. Puns and insults are the things that mostly come out of her mouth. Mara Starr moves back to Chicago, IL. First night back and she already found trouble. Dimitri Estacio. One encounter from Dimitri has Mara's world spinning. [more]

The case of Mary Bell shocked the nation in 1968. In the city of Newcastle, an eleven year-old girl was responsible for the death of two young boys who were not much more than toddlers. The method of death was strangulation (squeezing of the neck) and both tragic incidents took place on derelict land where massive slum housing clearances were under way. The girl responsible for the murders was Mary Flora Bell - a darkly angelic looking child who never seemed to show any sign of emotion. The case of Mary Bell, as it drifts further and further into the past, is like a nightmarish folk memory that refuses to ever completely fade. It is a strange and tragic story that will probably never lose its enduring and morbid fascination. [more]
