A generation gap has emerged between parents and their girls. The mothers and fathers of tomorrow’s women have little idea what their daughters are up to sexually or how they feel about it. Drawing on in-depth interviews with more than seventy young women and a wide range of psychologists, academics, and experts, renowned journalist Peggy Orenstein goes where most others fear to tread, pulling back the curtain on the hidden truths, hard lessons, and important possibilities of girls’ sex lives in the modern world.
Problem solving is central to the teaching and learning of chemistry at secondary, tertiary and post-tertiary levels of education, opening to students and professional chemists alike a whole new world for analysing data, looking for patterns and making deductions.

"I bet you think I have forgotten you... Well, I haven't." Three brothers go off to World War II. The youngest goes to the South Pacific. The middle brother to North Africa, then Italy, then France. The oldest was posted stateside. The brothers write home-over six hundred letters.

The brothers are concerned about the war, each other, and the family back home. One faces more than just the enemy. Their letters, which I found in a box in my grandmother's house, span most of the war, from March 1942 to October 1945. They showcase my grand uncles' down-to-earth humanity, as well as their heroic journeys-all in "just a few lines."
