human behavior

"A former Green Beret's indispensable course in preparedness, teaching the keys to building a resilient, fearless life. Most people think that being prepared for catastrophe means stocking up on MREs and building a bunker in their backyard, but this approach leaves you vulnerable in the real world of car accidents, natural disasters, grid failures, and global pandemics. Prepared overturns today's paranoid survival wisdom and teaches the foundational skills of preparedness that will not only help you build situational awareness and acheive greater mobility--but that will also help you build resilient mental and spiritual habits. After 20 years in the US Army, Special Forces, and as a government contractor for the CIA, Mike Glover has trained thousands of men, women, and families in the art and science of survival"--Provided by publisher.

"Middle school can be a hot mess--especially for sixth-grader Nate Wright. Whether he's bluffing his way through an oral report about ... umm ... some random war, peer-reviewing a classmate's story about cats, or writing a book report on a literary gem called The Cheerleader Chronicles, Nate's usually up to his eyeballs in stress. But our hero always finds ways to cope. Like bringing Spitsy to school as an emotional support dog. Or creating a graphic novel to (sort of) complete his math homework. Nate even authors a no-nonsense advice column with a title that says it all: Ask The Genius. So take a tip from P.S. 38's resident renaissance man: When problems start piling up, do what Nate does: REMAIN CALM!"--.

"Most kids would agree that they act somewhat differently around just their friends than a group of adults.

This book is a . . . resource for exploring and discussing what is appropriate behavior in different places like home, school, and out in the community"--Provided by publisher.
