Tight spine clean pages. 299 pages. As boys enter the second decade of their lives they are confronted with tremendous challenges at home at school and in personal relationships. In a phenomenon long overlooked by the media and policy makers adolescent boys are the most at-risk group in our society today facing the highest incidence of addiction violence mental illness and emotional neglect. Building on his pioneering work in The Wonder of Boys Michael Gurian now explores the misunderstood life of the '90s male adolescent providing parents and mentors with eye-opening and practical wisdom. Gurian answers tough questions about the changes boys face focusing on new understandings of the hidden biology of the adolescent male; the development of emotional structure and social adaptation; the changing emotional safety within the family unit; necessary rites of passage; and the critical shifting in the attitude of society educators and the media in order to nurture adolescent boys into loving wise and responsible men. Giving us the tools to better nurture discipline and cultivate our adolescent males Gurian delivers the most responsible and enlightening assessment of young manhood in our time. 8vo - over 7�" - 9�" tall.

‎A Place for Us: Eleni's Children in America‎

Price inside dustcover: $19.95 - Number line: 10 9 8 7 6 5 4 3 2 1 - NO price clippings or remainder marks. 419 pages. Illustrated with photos. NO writing marks or tears inside book. Tight spine clean pages. Dustcover shows light wear NO tears. From The Critics Publishers Weekly Gage was nine in 1949 when he and three sisters set sail from Greece for the U.S. Their mother had just been murdered by Greek communists who tried forcibly to conscript the family into guerrilla training. In Worcester Mass. the children met their immigrant father Christos Gatzoyiannis separated for years from the clan. Expecting a tycoon they found instead an out-of-work short-order cook a proud touchy gruff autocrat whom Gage resentfully blamed for not getting the family out of Greece sooner. A fourth sister joined them three months later. The story of Gage's reconciliation with his father is the keynote of this wonderfully vivid autobiographical sequel to Eleni. Full of humorous ironic sad touches this extraordinary moving saga reflects one family's attempt to balance assimilation with the preservation of Old-World traditions. Halfway to becoming a petty teenaged hood the author pulled himself together and became instead a distinguished journalist who returned to Greece in an effort to trace his mother's killers as told in Eleni . Photos. Oct. Library Journal Seldom has the immigrant experience been captured more emotionally than in this memoir. The ``place'' is America and the ``us'' is the family of author Gage who in March 1949 sailed for freedom with three of his sisters from a Greece riddled with civil war to be reunited with their father in Worcester Massachusetts where the family joined a large Greek contingent. Gage's story is moving and humorous a tale of adjustment to an unknown culture and is best characterized by a love which transcends not only the Atlantic but years of strife and trying assimilation. The narrative is excellent. Gage is a former New York Times reporter whose earlier successes include Eleni LJ 6/15/83 the touching story of the murder of his mother by Greek communists. The author approaches if not exceeds his earlier effort: this is one of the year's best books. It should be widely read; it crystallizes our sense of liberty.

‎American Daughter: Discovering My Mother‎

‎Random House Inc 2000. Book. Near-Fine. Hardcover. 8vo - over 7�" - 9�" tall. Near-fine condition. NO remainder marks or price clippings. Tight spine clean pages. Illustrated. ONLY writing/mark inside book is previous owner's signature in book front on blank page Pat Fay. NO tears inside book. 228 pages. Dustcover show slight wear NO tears. In this beautifully crafted book Elizabeth Kendall tells the story of a family of a passionate attachment between a mother and a daughter and the sudden tragedy that tears it apart. American Daughter is also a brilliant portrait of wellborn women's lives in cities and towns in the post-World War II era as Kendall evokes how difficult it was to become anything other than an American daughter which meant being a dependent woman. Occupying a coveted place in St. Louis's privileged high society Henry and Betty Kendall seemed to be the American dream come true: six children a sprawling house a legacy of higher education at Harvard and Vassar. Yet underneath lay the flawed marriage of an idealistic young woman who made her eldest daughter her best friend and turned civil rights into her salvation. Elizabeth maintained the family silence as eccentricities began to appear in her father's behavior along with whispers of financial difficulties. She accompanied her mother back to Vassar for a summer program on the home and family then came into her own away from her family at the haven of a girls' summer camp and at Radcliffe. From the war-torn 1940s when young men in uniform home on leave went to debutante parties through the seismic social changes of the 1960s Kendall tells the intertwined story of her mother and herself of their powerful bond and how both shaped their lives in response to it. Unrelentingly honest rich with humor and insights into families and women's lives American Daughter is both a poignant portrait of American life at the middle of the twentieth century and a dual coming-of-age story of a mother and a daughter united by commitment and love separated by a fatal accident-and by the vastly different birthrights of their generations.
