Growing up isn't what it used to be—it's more difficult and more dangerous. Even in “safe” places like school, teens face complicated decisions about personal behavior, involving everything from drinking, to drugs, to sex. Unfortunately, many adults don't fully grasp the true scope of the perilous world our teens inhabit. Stephen Wallace points out the “reality gap” separating parents and adults from young people at the time they need them most—adolescence—and offers concrete solutions to bridge this gulf. Grounded in hard facts with practical, common-sense advice, Reality Gap combines Wallace's 25-plus years of experience working with young people as a school psychologist, adolescent counselor, camp director, and college professor with groundbreaking research on adolescent attitudes and behaviors from SADD. Wallace includes concrete suggestions for improving teen-adult communication as well as age-specific “decision-points” at which parents should address various issues with their teen and pre-teen children. With Wallace's strong media contacts, professional affiliations, and extensive speaking platform Reality Gap promises to be the go-to book on a vital topic. Wallace highlights the myths and rationalizations of teens and adults that help fuel the reality gap: • The myth of improbability: “It's not going to happen to my kid.” • The myth of inevitability: “She's a teenager, of course, she's going to drink.” • The myth of irrelevancy: “I'm the parent, he's not going to listen to me.” • The myth of invincibility: “I'm young, I'm healthy, I'm not going to get hurt.” • The myth of immunity: “Even if I get caught, I'll get out of it.”

Introduction to Kinesiology: The Science of Human Physical Activity outlines the major concepts, principles, and experimental findings for the curious yet serious student interested in the field of kinesiology. Like most fields of science, it is important to provide kinesiology students with a textbook that covers the historical development of the field, discusses career opportunities, and provides the groundwork for future coursework. It is also important to clearly articulate the limit and scope of kinesiology by defining core knowledge and to emphasize the cross-disciplinary nature of kinesiology. Introduction to Kinesiology was designed to meet all of these requirements. 
To improve the readability and the retention of the material, the chapters in Introduction to Kinesiology contain several features, including: - Student Objectives - Important Terms - Integrating Kinesiology: Putting It All Together - questions and exercises - Section and Chapter Summaries - Kinesiology on the Web - web links for more information

Inspired by an idea originating at the Consensus Conference on Maxillary Sinus of the Italian Society of Oral Surgery in 2001, the authors of this book have created a new, up-to-date text that brings together the most recent scientific discoveries and innovative clinical protocols for maxillary sinus augmentation as well as possible alternatives to these techniques. The book begins with anatomy, otorhinolaryngologic implications, and bone healing, then progresses to diagnostic, surgical, and patient-monitoring phases. An invaluable resource for both students and professional clinical experts. Contents 1. Introduction and Background 2. Anatomy of the Maxillary Sinus 3. Otorhinolaryngological Contraindications in Augmentation of the Maxillary Sinus 4. The Role of Endoscopy in Maxillary Sinus Augmentation.
