Most parents are terrified by the idea of talking to their young children about drugs and alcohol. That fear causes many to wait far too long to start the discussion. Now, there is a solution to the problem: The Mother's Checklist of Drug Prevention.You can stop worrying right now-you don't have to talk to your six-year-old about heroin. In fact, most of this book has nothing at all to do with talking about drugs. Instead, it highlights all the little things we say and do when our children are young that can reduce stress and make them less likely as they get older to reach for drugs and alcohol to feel better.The Mother's Checklist is an exciting follow-up to Jonathan and Kelly's first handbook, Not All Kids Do Drugs, in which they gave parents the tools to help keep their kids safe and healthy in a world full of drugs. In The Mother's Checklist, they provide a detailed guide parents can use to forge patterns of language and behavior that will help them raise happy, self-confident children who can grow into functional, accomplished, drug-free young adults.The concept for this book was created by a mother, but it is not just for mothers. Dads, grandparents, nannies, babysitters, counselors, teachers-anyone who cares for or about children-will benefit from the wisdom found in this handbook and checklist.

The story of recorded sound--the technological developments, the humans that made them happen and their impact on society, from the phonograph to LPs, EPs and the recent resurgence of vinyl.In Into the Groove, vinyl collector and music buff Jonathan Scott dissects a mind-blowing feat that we all take for granted today--the domestication of sound. Thomas Edison''s phonograph, the first device that could both record and reproduce sound, represented an important turning point in the story of recorded sound, but it was only the tip of the iceberg, and came after decades of invention, tinkering and experimentation. Scott traces the birth of sound back to the earliest serious attempts in the 1850s, celebrating the ingenuity, rivalries and science of the modulated groove.He examines the first attempts to record and reproduce sounds, the origins of the phonograph, and the development of commercial shellac discs. Then he divulges the fascinating story of the LP record, from the rise of electric recording to the fall of 7-inch vinyl, the competing speed and format wars, and an epilogue that takes the story up to the present-day return of vinyl to vogue.Into the Groove uncovers tales of intrigue and betrayal, court battles and lesser-known names who are often left out of most histories. Discover a new appreciation of the not-so-simple black disc that holds a special place in the history of music and sound.

The collection is sourced from the remarkable library of Victor Amadeus, whose Castle Corvey collection was one of the most spectacular discoveries of the late 1970s.

The collection thus contains everything from novels and short stories to belles lettres and more populist works, and includes many exceedingly rare works not available in any other collection from the period. These invaluable, sometimes previously unknown works are of particular interest to scholars and researchers.European Literature, 1790-1840: The Corvey Collection includes: * Novels and Gothic Novels* Short Stories* Belles-Lettres* Short Prose Forms* Dramatic Works* Poetry* Anthologies* And moreSelected with the guidance of an international team of expert advisors, these primary sources are invaluable for a wide range of academic disciplines and areas of study, providing never before possible research opportunities for one of the most studied historical periods.Additional MetadataPrimary Id: B0970901PSM Id: NCCOF0063-C00000-B0970901DVI Collection Id: NCCOC0062Bibliographic Id: NCCO021215Reel: 8325MCODE: 4UVCOriginal Publisher: Printed by J. and W.

A powerful account of how the complex mercantile and military relationships between the British, Dutch, and American territories made the Industrial Revolution possible. Between 1500 and 1800, the North Sea region overtook the Mediterranean as the most dynamic part of the world. At its core the Anglo-Dutch relationship intertwined close alliance and fierce antagonism to intense creative effect. But a precondition for the Industrial Revolution was also the establishment in British North America of a unique type of colony-for the settlement of people and culture, rather than the extraction of commodities. England's republican revolution of 1649-53 was a spectacular attempt to change social, political, and moral life in the direction pioneered by the Dutch. In this powerfully written account, Jonathan Scott argues that it was also a turning point in world history. In its wake, competition with the Dutch transformed the military-fiscal and naval resources of the British state. Within the resulting navy-protected Anglo-American trading monopoly, the demographic and commercial vibrancy of British North America played a crucial role in triggering the Industrial Revolution.

In the century following his execution for treason in 1683, Algernon Sidney became one of the most widely influential political writers - in both Europe and America - that England had ever produced. This is the first full-scale study of Sidney for more than a century, and the first ever study of his political thought.
