by William French

As a manager for the University of Arizona Wildcats basketball team from 1997 to 2000, William French was surrounded by a number of amazing athletes, many of whom now have successful careers in the NBA. William could not help but be inspired by the work ethic of the U of A players. Turnover is the story of William's journey from a lazy, overweight kid to a fit, energetic, and successful man. William describes his diet and exercise program so that readers can follow in his footsteps and change their own lives for the better. He explains step-by-step his cardio and weight-training exercises. Photographs accompany the detailed descriptions of the weight-training exercises so that readers can see the moves that he talks about. Lute Olson, the Wildcats' Hall of Fame basketball coach says that "watching William French transform his physique from an out-of-shape young boy into a well-conditioned man was something I will never forget."

"I hope William's story will inspire other young people to follow his example."

A cook. A speech therapist. A credit union executive. A fashion model-turned-cancer activist. A secretary. A homemaker — all were mothers. Nineteen lives cut short — women from all walks of life, hailing from every corner of the United States and a province in Canada. Some were homemakers with little or no formal education; others were career women with college degrees and accomplished resumes. Regardless of their backgrounds, all these women share one thing in common: an addiction to smoking that culminated in an array of illnesses and their untimely demise. Their stories, told by their surviving daughters, pay tribute to the mothers they lost, often at pivotal moments in the daughters’ lives, and the legacy they continue to live with every day. A Breath Away offers a powerful anti-smoking message that goes beyond the statistics to today’s generation of girls and young women, to think twice before lighting up.

by Kristi Lyn Stewart

Kristi Lyn Stewart is the mother of five children, one of whom has autism.
"In this positive portrayal of life raising a child with autism, Kristi Stewart takes us through myriad emotions, ending ultimately with the message that while there are hefty mountains to climb, the view when reaching the top is vast and breathtaking. She is clear, however, that the summit isn’t necessarily recovering your child, but rather finding peace within yourself and discovering happiness that results in making the most of the victories – even if they’re seemingly small – along the journey."
—Leeann Whiffen, Author of A Child’s Journey Out of Autism

"This is the first book on autism I've read that both uplifed and represented me! Mrs. Stewart allows the outside world to peer through the window of our homes and feel some of the truly unique experiences we have raising our children with autism."
—Kathy Healey, mother of a child with autism

Many individuals have had their hopes and dreams shattered by trauma. Healing is a huge and critical step to overcoming trauma, but the next step is just as important. Without continuing to regain control of their lives and seek fulfillment, trauma victims are little better off than they were before the healing process began. Lives obscured by the shadows of the past cannot flourish.

Dave Ziegler, the author of a series of highly-acclaimed books on raising traumatized children, looks at how to take the next step beyond healing, toward a satisfying and fully realized life. Drawing on case studies and a lifetime of personal and professional experience, Dr. Ziegler has written a clear, realistic guide to reclaiming one s life, regardless of age, class, or context. His insights are presented in a friendly, down-to-earth style that naturally resonates with all types of readers.

Beyond Healing takes a close, critical look at many of our beliefs about human limitations and offers an undeniable message of hope - hope for those individuals who have paid such a high price for past abuse and trauma, and hope for our future and the possibility of reaching both our individual and collective human potential. Beyond Healing is an invaluable guide to anyone who has personally experienced trauma or is attempting to help someone else who has.

Attachment is the single most important ability related to social development for a child or adolescent. Difficulties with attachment can affect a person's social, psychological, and even physical health throughout life. If attachment problems are identified early, proper treatment can help the person overcome the factors that lead to a life of isolation and unhappiness.

Designed by a psychologist and 17 years in development, the ADAS-R is the most validated instrument available to measure attachment and is now being commercially released for the first time. Used in conjunction with other diagnostic information, the ADAS-R can be an invaluable tool to quickly and easily measure a reliable level of attachment concern for a young person in order to determine the most effective plan of care.

The ADAS-R kit includes a hard plastic carrier case, 25 protocol scoresheets, and a 52-page manual that explains the scale, attachment problems, and treatment options.

From the Author of Raising Children Who Refuse to Be Raised and Traumatic Experience and the Brain comes this third book in the difficult children trilogy. For more than 30 years, Dr. Dave Ziegler has been a psychologist, therapist, and foster parent to hundreds of the most challenging children. His methods have helped these "impossible" children — and their parents, teachers, and caregivers — to get back on the right track. He has done what many therapists don't know how to do: help to raise troubled youths, who are the exceptions to all the usual rules, into healthy, successful human beings. This book emphasizes an important element of being successful with difficult children — hope. The repeated message is not only that success is possible, but also that it is realistically achievable. However, success comes only with the right type of hard work combined with a deep understanding of what troubled children need. If success with your child is escaping your grasp, you'll find some help in these pages.

by Richard G. Johnson, MD, PhD

In Considering Psychotherapy & God, psychotherapy and religion come together in an attempt to treat a variety of emotional issues. The author is a certified psychiatrist and neurologist with an MD and a PhD in psychoanalysis. Dr. Johnson observes the role that religion plays in finding one's true identity, determining one's politics, and achieving genuine maturity in life. He examines the behavioral aspects of religion to answer the question, "what can the science of psychoanalysis and the practice of religion offer each other?" In so doing, he not only manages to reconcile the opposites of science and religion, but also offers new insights into how people can use these tools to better themselves.
