With all the talk of failing schools these days, we forget that schools can fail their brightest students, too. We pledge to "leave no child behind," but in American schools today, thousands of gifted and talented students fall short of their potential. In Genius Denied, Jan and Bob Davidson describe the "quiet crisis" in education: gifted students spending their days in classrooms learning little beyond how to cope with boredom as they "relearn" material they've already mastered years before. This lack of challenge leads to frustration, underachievement, and even failure. Some gifted students become severely depressed. At a time when our country needs a deep intellectual talent pool, the squandering of these bright young minds is a national tragedy. There are hundreds of thousands of highly gifted children in the U.S. and millions more whose intelligence is above average, yet few receive the education they deserve. Many school districts have no gifted programs or offer only token enrichment classes. Education of the gifted is in this sorry state, say the Davidsons, because of indifference, lack of funding, and the pernicious notion that education should have a "leveling" effect, a one-size-fits-all concept that deliberately ignores the needs of the gifted. But all children are entitled to an appropriate education, insist the authors, those left behind as well as those who want to surge ahead. The Davidsons show parents and educators how to reach and challenge gifted students. They offer practical advice based on their experience as founders of a nonprofit organization that assists gifted children. They show parents how to become their children's advocates, how to win support for gifted students within the local schools, and when and how to go outside the school system. They discuss everything from acceleration ("skipping" a grade) to homeschooling and finding mentors for children. They tell stories of real parents and students who overcame poor schooling environments to discover the joy of learning. Genius Denied is an inspiring book that provides a beacon of hope for children at risk of losing their valuable gift of intellectual potential.

The drug industry is by far the world's most lucrative business. The reason is because for nearly every conceivable sickness, drugs tend to be the only solution. In Setting Things Straight, Dr. Madeira takes the reader on an amazing journey of discovery, showing you how-to maintain spectacular health without the use of deadly drugs or drastic diets. Madeira keeps it simple, categorizing the do's and the don'ts and why's. The first chapter deals with the three worst foods to eat, other chapters speak about losing weight the natural way. This simple yet provocative work covers everything from diabetes prevention and control to lowering your cholesterol to which vitamin you should take. The best part is that all of these things are 100% natural and do not have any unwanted side effects. Let's set the record straight once and for all, everyone does not need drugs, or even medical doctors for that reason. What you do need is the proper information enabling you to take good care of yourself.

My book is a comedy and a social satire about how everyone starts out idealistically chomping at the bit to use their mind to the fullest. (A Mind Is A Terrible Thing To Waste after all according to that Old School Traditional philosophy.) But after a while it sooner or later dawns on most everyone that what they are really doing is wasting their mind anyway. (Not only because no one ever LISTENS, but because nothing works the way it has been talked up). Its an up close and personal picture of how it feels when life throws you a curved ball (or a lot of lemons from which you have to figure out how to make lemonade). Its an emotional snapshot of how traumatic it is when nothing works out the way you once thought it would. When all those wonderful ideas and oh, so compelling words and theories cease to make any sense. But, rather than offering the reader a roadmap, it attempts to give an explanation for why nothing ever works. And how it feels to spin your wheels when your back is to the wall. And youre neck and neck with all those nasty, infuriating unmentionables centering around all that social control. Along with the downside, however, there is an equal and opposite upside. The world of Songs (and Poetry) is held up as a guiding principle through which to regain your spiritual balance, gradually become unstuck and once again able to reboot yourself in a new direction. Its also much more than a blame yourself for everything and get out of your own way guilt trip since it rejects all those simplistic clich solutions found in Psychology books. Attempting instead to give the reader a much more focused insight into all those hard to put into words political, social and philosophical outside forces that affect why and how things can (and do) go wrong.
