How Progressive Cities Fight Innovation
Technology continues to unlock new ways for Americans to live and work. To illustrate these changes, this broadside explores the promise of online platforms such as Uber and Airbnb. Unfortunately, instead of embracing innovation, many cities insist on applying antiquated regulations or completely banning these new services to protect special interests—at the expense of workers and consumers. These fights go far beyond the sharing economy. To promote the benefits of new technology, it is time for states to step up and overrule cities when local policies threaten innovation. If cities are going to remain a driving force for economic progress, then states need to save so-called progressive cities from themselves.

Divorce and Family Finances
When parents divorce, a formerly stable household goes through a number of changes. One might be the family finances. A change in financial status can come as a surprise to a teen of divorce. Suddenly, the teen might be asked to find a part-time job or help out at home while a parent works. He or she might be expected to make more sacrifices, such as curbing shopping trips and extracurricular activities, because the family has less money. This helpful resource will explain how and why divorce affects family finances and how teens can cope with the changes.
Divorce, Family Court, and Family Law
Whether their parents are going through an acrimonious divorce or they just need to know what to expect when their parents break up, teens will find this volume a useful resource about the legal side of divorce. The narrative begins with an explanation of marriage, and why legal divorce is even necessary, before examining the steps in the process of divorce. Readers will learn about custody and visitation and other issues that will affect them personally. Anyone who is frightened that he or she will be asked to testify against one parent will find solace in this helpful guide.
Divorce and Your Feelings
It was not so long ago that divorce was considered scandalous, and children of divorced parents lived with the shame of coming from a “broken home.” Though much more common today, divorce still comes with a number of confusing emotions. This resource instructs teens about the changes they should expect in their lives, including a new or second home, new responsibilities, and even a new stepparent and stepsiblings. Readers will also learn how to identify and understand what they are feeling, where to seek help, and how to turn a difficult situation into an opportunity for growth.
Making Friends
With the popularity of social networking sites such as Facebook, young people have more opportunity than ever to connect to peers, keep in touch with friends, and make new online friends. But over the Internet, it can be hard to distinguish true friends from virtual ones. This volume contains fascinating sidebars and informed text that offer readers some practical tips on how to balance online friendships with face-to-face relationships.
My Parents Are Divorcing. Now What?
Although divorce remains an unfortunate reality for many families, teens who witness their parents’ failed marriage are often left feeling isolated and conflicted, with nowhere to turn. With the right support, however, many teens find that the fracturing of one relationship in the family does not have to mean the fracturing of all—they can maintain strong relationships with both parents and even stepparents and siblings. Touching upon the practical, legal, and psychological aspects of divorce and examining healthy emotional outlets and coping mechanisms, this volume reassures teens through the grieving process and shows them that acceptance is ultimately possible.
Life in a Blended Family
Combining families after a divorce isn’t as easy as The Brady Bunch made it look. Adapting to divorce is difficult enough without dealing with another change in your family.

Teens will glean tips on getting to know their stepparent and stepsiblings, sharing their parent’s love with new family members, and even welcoming a new baby half sibling. Anyone feeling lost in the confusion of a newly blended family will benefit from the advice found in this volume.
