Not Much Just Chillin': The Hidden Lives of Middle Schoolers
Suddenly they go from striving for A’s to barely passing, from fretting about cooties to obsessing for hours about crushes Former chatterboxes answer in monosyllables; freethinkers mimic everything from clothes to opinions. Their bodies and psyches morph through the most radical changes since infancy. They are kids in the middle-school years, the age every adult remembers well enough to dread. Here at last is an up-to-date anthropology of this critically formative period. Prize-winning education reporter Linda Perlstein spent a year immersed in the lunchroom, classrooms, hearts, and minds of a group of suburban Maryland middle schoolers and emerged with this pathbreaking account. Perlstein reveals what’s really going on under kids’ don’t-touch-me facade while they grapple with schoolwork, puberty, romance, and identity. A must-read for parents and educators, Not Much Just Chillin’ offers a trail map to the baffling no-man’s-land between child and teen..

The Exercise Balance: What's Too Much, What's Too Little, and What's Just Right for You!
Healthy exercise means finding a balance between overtraining and inactivity By using a combination of clinical studies and real-life examples, this book shows readers how to develop their own personal prescription for discovering that balance. Written by two specialists in the field of eating disorders, it details both ends of the exercise continuum, from compulsive exercisers who push their bodies to the limit to people with little or no physical activity in their daily lives. The authors explain the psychological and health issues that can result from compulsive exercise — including bone loss, fractures, amenorrhea, and unhealthy eating. They also cover the problems arising from inadequate exercise and provide ways that ill people can safely implement fitness programs. The book is not a weight-loss guide; instead, it emphasizes the importance of proper exercise, offering readers of all sizes, ages, and health levels practical solutions for changing their routines and finding a healthy exercise balance. .

Just Enough And Not Too Much
For cheerful Simon the Fiddler, there's no such thing as too much. If he hugs one teddy bear, then he will surely love three bears three times more. And if he has four chairs, then a fifth and sixth will give him that many more places to sit. It's not until his possessions crowd him out of his cottage that he realizes what will really make him happy -- and it's not something that can be measured in numbers. Kaethe Zemach's gladdening new picture book is a gentle fable about getting and giving, with a lesson that's "just enough and not too much." .

The Serfitt & Cloye Gift Catalog: Just Enough Of Too Much
This parody of "wish books" from the latest, chicest, most stratospheric of global luxury retailers is a portrayal of over-consumption's logical, inevitable conclusion (or apparent lack of conclusion). The products featured in this faux catalog are alluring, thought-provoking, and push this country's longstanding tradition of mocking the rich to wondrous new heights. It is a multilayered send-up, of catalogs, the economic aristocracy, consumerism, and, through the specific items featured in its pages, innumerable aspects of American life. Simply put, The Serfitt & Cloye Gift Catalog takes the wretched excess of the hyper-rich and ratchets it up to hysterical levels..
