Archimedes claimed that if he had a fulcrum and a lever, h would move the world. In the ancient Roman world of seafaring heroes and power hungry rulers, the clear headed thinking of this young scientist is refreshing. The story follows the lives of a batch of slave girls whose misfortunes and fortunes at the hands of their masters make an engaging historical perspective. The issues of the times are not unlike our present day worries--power, greed, ethics and morals, the menace of war and the threat of extinction. Jacobson's love of the classical world and of the sea is evident in this bestseller, and even though his works are of fiction, they are soundly based on hte history of the period.

Any child can be in a Freeze, Fight, Flight, or Fawn reactive state. It is a fact of existence - these Four F's are part of our daily lives. Our brains are designed for a different era - a time long ago when grass was tall and cats were big. The trouble is that we do not live in that time. Any child's brain can Anticipate, Ruminate and Perseverate on issues that might (or might not) be real - there are no tigers in the house today.\nSam's Dinosaur focuses on the brain's Amygdala. We each have two amygdalae - one in each hemisphere - that regulate how we handle stressful situations. The word Amygdala is simply Latin for Almond, because early neuroscientists realized that the anatomical likeness was to an almond nut. The Amygdala is the center of emotional reaction like fear and frustration, anxiety and sadness. When our emotional wellbeing feels overloaded we will sometimes react in a way that causes people to question our behavior. Sometimes we react without thinking and are unaware at the time of the damage we are doing. We might say to ourselves afterwords: What was I thinking? How could I have said (or done) those terrible things to people I love? In Sam's Dinosaur Brain, we describe the ancient remnant of an evolutionary brain that was designed to keep us safe from tigers in the wild, or unexpected attack. We bring the amygdala into today's social context in playground or classroom and show the reader that we can be in charge of our dinosaur brain; that we can regulate our emotional state with simple strategies.\nStrategies are built on: Simple graphical representations of neuroscience knowledge about a child's brain. Colorful stick figures that enable every child see themselves in the action. Simple easy to understand choices that grow the reader's mental model concerning stress and remedies to overcoming stress. For the adult, teacher, guardian, or parent the book summarizes the solution with a clear and vivid description of how and when to use this simple method to help children overcome the stressful situation. 
The take away message is simple. It is like riding a bike. The child wasn't born able to ride a bike. Yet, when we taught the child how to become proficient on a bike, we built and strengthened (over time) primary neural (white matter) structures that stay for the child's life. Brain is malleable. Every day it changes and rewires itself in response to practice that the child undertakes alone or with friends, parents, teachers, so that white matter structures are strong and long lasting. By strengthening neuronal structures teachers contribute to life skills, which last throughout the child's life. First we co-regulate with the child in a safe psychological, co-created space and then we support the child's journey to self-regulation. The design and production is simple, gentle, and intended to not overwhelm any child's working memory or sensitivity to too much stimulation. Enjoy!

A compassionate razor incision into themes of boundaries, love and fear. In Poet's Novel author Goodwin explores the ubiquitous relationships that permeate post-modern life in America. His coarse and humorous canvas illuminates the core of personal psyches - informing with colorful characters troublesome issues that pervade our institutions and the intrinsic composition of or society. Admission to asylum marks the beginning of a new life for poet Amstell. Adrift in contemporary society and struggling to distinguish between madness and inspiration, his relationship with an hospital nurse prepares him for the most difficult poem he's ever written - life.
