			<description><![CDATA[Wendy Mogel?s sage advice on parenting has made her one of today?s most trusted parenting authorities. Here, she addresses the question she hears most often: what to do when children become teenagers, their sense of independence and entitlement grows, the pressure to succeed skyrockets, and communication becomes fraught with obstacles. <br /><br/>
  With warmth, wit, and her signature combination of Jewish teachings and psychological research, Mogel helps parents navigate the often rough journey through the teenage years and guide children to become confident, resilient young adults. By viewing the frustrating elements of adolescence as ?blessings,? Mogel reveals that they are, in fact, necessary steps in psychological growth and character development. An important, inspiring book that will fortify parents through the teen years, The Blessing of a B Minus is itself a blessing.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[Masters of language can turn unassuming words into phrases that are beautiful, effective, and memorable. What are the secrets of this alchemy? Part of the answer lies in rhetorical figures: practical ways of applying great aesthetic principles?repetition and variety, suspense and relief, concealment and surprise?to a simple sentence or paragraph. Farnsworth?s Classical English Rhetoric recovers this knowledge for our times. It amounts to a tutorial on eloquence conducted by Churchill and Lincoln, Dickens and Melville, Burke and Paine, and more than a hundred others. The book organizes a vast range of examples from those sources into eighteen chapters that illustrate and analyze the most valuable rhetorical devices with unprecedented clarity. The result is an indispensable source of pleasure and instruction for all lovers of the English language.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[Prompted by a neverending stream of letters pleading for advice on how to be a better writer, successful children?s authors Anne Mazer and Ellen Potter put their heads together to create this useful guide.     With dozens of books and decades of experience between them, the authors brought their distinct personal styles to the advice they had to offer. Now they have done the same for this audio version, with each author narrating her own sections. Along the way they call in some friends for some delightful bits of storytelling to illustrate their points.     Filled with wisdom and delivered with wit, this funny, practical guide will be welcomed by anyone who wants to improve his or her skill as a writer. Whether you long to create compelling stories, or simply want to express yourself more clearly and directly, this is the book for you! <br /><br/>
The Oggledy Nork may appear to be a lumbering monster who breaks everything in his path, but he doesn't mean to. His family was cursed generations ago by an old woman, and now Edward, Moongobble, and all their friends have to go to Flitwick City to find the cure. <br /><br/>
But wouldn't you know it, when they find the old woman, she has some demands before she will break the curse on Oggledy Nork. So where Edward thought their troubles would end, they're only just beginning!]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[Ittelson's master work will give you that firm grasp of "the numbers" necessary for business success.  Financial Statements is a perfect introduction to financial accounting for non-financial managers, stock-market investors, undergraduate business and MBA students, lawyers, lenders, entrepreneurs, and more. Most introductory finance and accounting books fail either because they are written "by accountants for accountants" or the authors "dumb down" the concepts until they are virtually useless. Financial Statements deftly shows that all this accounting and financial reporting stuff is not rocket science and that you can understand it!  Ittelson empowers non-financial managers by clearly and simply demonstrating how the balance sheet, income statement and cash flow statement work together to offer a "snapshot" of any company's financial health. Every term is defined in simple, understandable language.  Every concept is explained with a basic, straightforward transaction example.  As a result, you'll be able to see exactly how each transaction affects the three key financial statements of the enterprise.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[The True, the Good, and the Beautiful are as timeless a trio of concepts as Western culture has to offer. Since before Socrates, humankind has explored these virtues in an attempt to describe and categorize them. But our definitions of these concepts have unceasingly changed over the ages. Every known civilization has developed its own interpretations of them, and so has confronted difficult questions: Is truthfulness inherent or inculcated? Is beauty achieved or a gift from the gods? Is goodness a birthright or determined by society? In Truth, Beauty, and Goodness Reframed, Howard Gardner explores the meaning of these virtues in a contemporary world of vast technological change and relativistic understandings of human nature. <br /><br/>
The concepts of truth, beauty, and the good may change, but they are?and will remain?cornerstones of our society.]]></description>

In it, he explains basic truths about economics and the economic fallacies responsible for unemployment, inflation, high taxes, and recession. Covering considerable ground, Hazlitt illustrates the destructive effects of taxes, rent and price controls, inflation, trade restrictions and minimum wage laws. And, he writes about key classical liberal thinkers like John Locke, Adam Smith, Thomas Jefferson, John Stuart Mill, Alexis de Tocqueville and Herbert Spencer.]]></description>
