As parents, we often forget what it is like to be our kids' age. We struggle between their need for the here and now versus our desire to teach self-control and the realization of better things in the future. We see their increasing cravings of independence flipped against our nurturing instinct and guidance to view and care about the world around them.

This funny, yet discussion provoking book shows kids the balance between urges and broader issues compelling awareness to help them (and us as parents) achieve balance so we're not classified in the extreme.

There's more to Wolf Boy's story than the girls first imagine. Then again, everyone has a story - Beth, Kelly, their friends and families - and everyone's story contains a bit of wolf.

In "Anarchism Today," an acclaimed scholar and one of the world's foremost advocates for the anarchistic tradition cuts through common misconceptions and caricatures to explore what is perhaps the most poorly understood of all political theories.

Passionate and provocative, Amster's book offers readers an expert's perspective on what anarchism really means, including its...
