　　Jake Semple is a scary kid. Word has it that he burned downhis old school and then was kicked out of every other school in hishome state. Only weeks into September, the middle school inTraybridge, North Carolina, has thrown him out, too. Now there’sonly one place left that will take him—a home school run by themost outrageous, forgetful, chaotic, quarrelsome family you’ll evermeet. Each and every Applewhite is an artist through andthrough—except E.D., the smart, scruffy girl with a deep longingfor order and predictability.

简介："In this pioneering effort, editors Tolan, Szapocznik, and Sambrano present seven programs that systematically target four critical childhood factors for preventing adolescent substance use: parenting and family relationships, child social competence, self-regulation, and school achievement. For each empirically tested program, the authors show how the program works and how to implement it correctly. After introducing the settings and developmental factors that affect risk for substance use, the contributors provide a general framework for translating prevention research into practice. Chapters describing each intervention contain user-friendly explanations of the theory, methods, and implementation of each program and summarize how it was shown to reduce risk for substance abuse. Illustrative case examples are woven throughout the text, showing the benefits gained from the approach. Programs described include interventions that apply to participants at differing developmental periods (from ages 4-14), programs for the general population, programs for high-risk youth and families, and programs developed and tested for a variety of ethnic and cultural groups across varying locations. This volume is a strong example of the often-desired but infrequently accomplished translation of research into useful form for practice. It can be used as a text for professional training as well as a guide for health and human service providers, school superintendents, prevention scientists, and others who evaluate or administer substance abuse prevention programs in their communities.". "The editors make it clear that the problem no longer is a lack of science-based models of prevention. They present a collection of chapters on evidence-based programs that work. The book reviews only programs that were tested as part of a specific federal project, the Center for Substance Abuse Prevention's Predictor Variables Initiative"--Foreword.

简介：In 1967, Bashir Al-Khayri, a Palestinian twenty-five-year-old, journeyed to Israel, with the goal of seeing the beloved old stone house, with the lemon tree behind it, that he and his family had fled nineteen years earlier. To his surprise, when he found the house he was greeted by Dalia Ashkenazi Landau, a nineteen-year-old Israeli college student, whose family fled Europe for Israel following the Holocaust. On the stoop of their shared home, Dalia and Bashir began a rare friendship, forged in the aftermath of war and tested over the next thirty-five years in ways that neither could imagine on that summer day in 1967. Based on extensive research, and springing from his enormously resonant documentary that aired on NPR's Fresh Air in 1998, Sandy Tolan brings the Israeli-Palestinian conflict down to its most human level, suggesting that even amid the bleakest political realities there exist stories of hope and reconciliation. - Back cover.
