An in-depth history of Alfred Kinsey’s groundbreaking Institute for Sex Research and the cultural awakening it inspired in America—“it has no rival” (Angus McLaren). While teaching a course on Marriage and Family at Indiana University, biologist Alfred Kinsey noticed a surprising dearth of scientific literature on human sexuality. He immediately began conducting his own research into this important yet neglected field of inquiry, and in 1947, founded the Institute for Sex Research as a firewall against those who opposed his work on moral grounds. His frank and dispassionate research shocked America with the hidden truths of our own sex lives, and his two groundbreaking reports —Sex...
At Master Dreadthorn's School for Wayward Villains, young villains must learn to be bad. Rune Drexler, Big Bad Wolf Jr., and Jezebel Dracula are feeling pretty good (or bad!) about their evildoer skills. But that was before two new students joined the ranks: Princess Ileana and mad-scientist-in-training, Dodge VonDoe. The new kids have big secrets. One of them is actually a student at Dr. Do-Good's School for Superior Superheroes and he or she is here to take down Master Dreadthorn. Can Rune and Co. protect their school from the superheroes? Everything you know about good and evil is turned upside down in this delightful series where the "bad guys" wind up saving the world . . . reluctantly.
The contributors address two focal questions: What have we learned about the nature of sexual orientation; and how can it be measured or classified for research purposes?
A New York Times Bestseller The leading thinker and most visible public advocate of modern monetary theory -- the freshest and most important idea about economics in decades -- delivers a radically different, bold, new understanding for how to build a just and prosperous society. Stephanie Kelton's brilliant exploration of modern monetary theory (MMT) dramatically changes our understanding of how we can best deal with crucial issues ranging from poverty and inequality to creating jobs, expanding health care coverage, climate change, and building resilient infrastructure. Any ambitious proposal, however, inevitably runs into the buzz saw of how to find the money to pay for it, rooted in myths...

"Stephanie Sanders created this curriculum after verbal attempts to teach the concept of using a 'social filter' to students with high-functioning autism. Saying a person 'has no filter' is a common expression for a socially inappropriate or abrasive person. However, the connection between a literal and figurative filter makes little sense to high-functioning ASD students. Research and experience confirm the rote memory skills of children with high-functioning ASD and this workbook capitalizes on this to provide a simple, yet memorable tool for conversation. The F.I.L.T.E.R. curriculum first teaches the literal versus figurative filter concept and then presents an acronym for connecting the concept to social skills to help students before, during, and after conversation. F - Facial clues: look for information about how someone is feeling; I - Inappropriate: avoid "red light" comments and topics; L - Listen: tune in to the person talking and tune out distractions; T - Target: are you hitting or missing the target in conversation?; E - End the conversation (and start it) at the right time; R - Repair mistakes made in conversation." --
