A Guide for Kids 9 to 12 and Their Parents

Sex remains one of the least comfortable  and thus least discussed  topics between parents and children. Even the most enlightened parent can get queasy at the prospect of "the talk," despite its importance in helping youngsters become well-informed teens and responsible adults. Let's Talk About S-E-X is a short, illustrated book that parent and child can sit down and read together. First created by Planned Parenthood in the 1980s, and taking a simple, factual approach to the subject, the book makes that crucial conversation possible and even enjoyable by encouraging open dialogue; offering clear, correct information; and giving strategies for age-appropriate discussions that neither judge nor frighten. The book discusses feelings, what's normal, how and why the body changes, making sense of love and sex, STDs, and much more. The simple language and illustrations invite young readers to revisit the information if they have not absorbed it all in one sitting.

When first published, Marshall McLuhans Understanding Media made history with its radical view of the effects of electronic communications upon man and life in the twentieth century. This edition of McLuhans best-known book both enhances its accessibility to a general audience and provides the full critical apparatus necessary for scholars. In Terrence Gordons own words, McLuhan is in full flight already in the introduction, challenging us to plunge with him into what he calls the creative process of knowing. Much to the chagrin of his contemporary critics McLuhans preference was for a prose style that explored rather than explained. Probes, or aphorisms, were an indispensable tool with which he sought to prompt and prod the reader into an "understanding of how media operate" and to provoke reflection.In the 1960s McLuhans theories aroused both wrath and admiration. It is intriguing to speculate what he might have to say 40 years later on subjects to which he devoted whole chapters such as Television, The Telephone, Weapons, Housing and Money. Today few would dispute that mass media have indeed decentralized modern living and turned the world into a global village.This critical edition features an appendix that makes available for the first time the core of the research project that spawned the book and individual chapter notes are supported by a glossary of terms, indices of subjects, names, and works cited. There is also a complete bibliography of McLuhans published works.W. Terrence Gordon is Associate General Editor of the Gingko Press McLuhan publishing program, author of the biography Marshall McLuhan: Escape into Understanding and McLuhan for Beginners.

When Albert Camus died in a car crash in January 1960 he was only 46 years old  already a winner of the Nobel Prize for Literature and a world figure  author of the enigmatic The Stranger, the fable called The Plague, but also of the combative The Rebel  which attacked the politically correct among his con-temporaries.Thanks to his early literary achievement, his work for the under-ground newspaper Combat and his editorship of that daily in its Post-Liberation incarnation, Camus voice seemed the conscience of postwar France. But it was a very personal voice that rejected the conventional wisdom, rejected ideologies that called for killing in the cause of justice. His call for personal responsibility will seem equally applicable today, when Camus voice is silent and has not been replaced. The secrecy which surrounded Algerian-born Camus own life, public and private  a function of illness and psychological self-defense in a Paris in which he still felt himself a stranger  seemed to make the biographers job impossible.Lottmans Albert Camus was the first and remains the definitive biography  even in France. On publication it was hailed by New York Times reviewer John Leonard: What emerges from Mr. Lottmans tireless devotions is a portrait of the artist, the outsider, the humanist and skeptic, that breaks the heart. In The New York Times Book Review British critic John Sturrock said: Herbert Lottmans life (of Camus) is the first to be written, either in French or English, and it is exhaustive, a labor of love and of wonderful industry. When the book appeared in London Christopher Hitchens in New Statesman told British readers: Lottman has written a brilliant and absorbing book... The detail and the care are extra-ordinary... Now at last we have a clear voice about the importance of liberty and the importance of being concrete.The new edition by Gingko Press includes a specially written preface by the author revealing the challenges of a biographer, of some of the problems that had to be dealt with while writing the book and after it appeared.
