Raise Civilized Kids!
Do your children seem to be getting out of control, showing no respect for you or others unless they feel like it? Are you lost as to whether spanking is useful, given all of the controversy surrounding it? If you were to spank, what are the things you need to know? In Raising Civilized Kids! authors Bob and Elaine Lehman share their experiences about what works and what doesn't in child discipline. With the deep impact of broad legislation, the disciplining of children has been placed more and more into the hands of the government. Parents everywhere are often confused and don't know what to believe. Bob and Elaine cut through the fog and offer clear, common-sense guidance on the most important issue facing the next generation: their upbringing. Readers will learn about the various arguments for or against corporal punishment as well as methods, measures, and guides for implementing it. Whether a reader already has children, works with children, or is just curious, Raising Civilized Kids! gives readers a no-nonsense, straightforward approach to parenting and teaching respectful, honest, and well-balanced children.
The Robert Lehman Collection
Robert Lehman, one of the foremost art collectors of his generation, embraced traditional and modern masters. This work catalogues 130 nineteenth- and 20th-century paintings that are part of the Robert Lehman Collection at the Metropolitan Museum. It includes paintings by Ingres, Theodore Rousseau, and Corot among other early 19th-century artists. In addition to a group of early German drawings, this collection includes a Saint Paul from a series associated with Jan van Eyck and the famous Scupstoel from the circle of Rogier van der Weyden. It discusses all drawings, placing each in its art historical setting and complementing it with comparative illustrations of related works.
DNA Topoisomerases in Cancer Therapy
This volume commemorates the 30th anniversary of the discovery in 1971 of the first DNA topoisomerases, i.e topoisomerase I in E. coli, then provisionally named `omega' protein, by the pioneering work of Jim Wang at Harvard University, who has contributed an article to this volume: `Reflections on an accidental discovery' of the enzyme. Many kinds of topoisomerase have since been found from type I through to type VI in a variety of organisms ranging from viruses to higher eukaryote mammals. The wide distribution of enzymes in various forms of life implies that the DNA topoisomerase is essential for life. In the mid 80's type I and II enzymes were found to be the intracellular targets of a nu...
Nahant Revisited
Nahant, Massachusetts, 12 miles north of Boston, consists of two islands connected to the mainland by a causeway. Small in land area--1.2 square miles--it has a big history. This book examines Nahant thematically in over 200 images. East Point is seen as the site of an 1823 resort hotel and later a distinguished senator's residence. It was also used as a military installation and is currently an educational facility and public park. Henry Wadsworth Longfellow describes, in his own words, his 25 years in Nahant. The Samuel Hammond family is shown as a representative of the wealthy Bostonians who enjoyed Nahant as a summer colony. Many images illustrate full-time residents who invested their lives here participating in a rich civic life. Work, play, and entertainment are documented. Social issues, such as women's suffrage, were confronted. Current issues, like the Black Lives Matter movement, continue to draw attention.
Z-DNA
This detailed volume compiles key methods and techniques used to establish some of the structural and functional aspects of Z-form nucleic acids. Beginning with chapters on characterizing Z-DNA, the book continues by exploring structure determination techniques, gene- and genome-targeting methods and genome-wide approaches, Z-RNA study, and much more. Written for the highly successful Methods in Molecular Biology series, chapters include introductions to their respective topics, lists of the necessary materials and reagents, step-by-step and readily reproducible laboratory protocols, and tips on troubleshooting and avoiding known pitfalls. Authoritative and practical, Z-DNA: Methods and Protocols serves as an ideal guide for students and researchers curious about this unique Z nucleic acid as an area of investigation, aiming to help the field grow, flourish, and unravel the hidden and novel roles of Z.

The Invisible Mountain
In 1989 Dr. Robert Vande Kappelle cycled solo cross-country. The 3,400-mile trip was the seed project for the Washington County (Pennsylvania) chapter of Habitat for Humanity. For forty-two days he went "Homeless for Habitat," placing himself and his personal needs in the hands of strangers he met along the way. At the beginning he cycled across some of the most mountainous--and spectacular--terrain in America. After he crossed the Rockies, a nagging headwind arose, which only intensified with time. That, coupled with a deteriorating bicycle--along one of the most desolate stretches of the journey--produced spiritual testing of epic proportions. He was tempted to compromise the integrity of ...
