Eugenics, Human Genetics and Human Failings
P. Mazumdar
$180.07

About this product:
This outstanding history examines the eugenics movement from its origin to its heyday as the source of a science of human genetics. Eugenics, Human Genetics and Human Failings makes a major contribution to the study of the British eugenics movement and its applications to current scientific work.

Previous treatments have been flawed in not viewing eugenics as a science whose methods required serious consideration. By avoiding this narrow approach, Pauline Mazumdar provides a scholarly and provocative analysis, utilizing important archival material newly available to researchers. The conclusions she draws from this material give the reader important insight into the inner workings of the British eugenics that published sources alone could not provide. The study also provides a historical introduction to the current problems connected with the huge international projects for the mapping of the human genome.

BOOK
Empowering Underachievers : How to Guide Failing Kids (8-18) to Personal Excellence
Maryann Karinch
$4.59

About this product:
In Empowering Underachievers, Dr. Spevak equips parents and teachers with the information and processes they need to engage underachievers in a transformation to become self-motivated, responsible and happy individuals. He uses easily illustrated and applied concepts he has developed, such as the Motivational Circle™, to explain how and why underachievers get stuck in emotional development and what they need to move forward. To help you increase your knowledge, gain reassurance, and apply the information, he uses examples from actual clients to illustrate how real kids manifested their problem and what they did to change. Some families have kept in touch with him through the years, so a decade or more later, he knows that the changes can last through college and launching a career.

Empowering Underachievers is written for parents, educators and anyone else who wants to be a catalyst for changing an underachiever. This book, written without psychological jargon or an academic tone, defines underachievers and their subtypes. It explains what influences motivation and why it is important to motivate an underachiever. It emphasizes the role of emotions and emotional development in motivation. There is also discussion of the interactions of attention deficit and other disorders. The second part of the book focuses on solving the problem. Approaches and effective tips to motivation are discussed as well as how to motivate each type of underachiever. This book is designed to enhance your understanding and effectiveness when dealing with your unmotivated student. There is practical problem-solving advice regarding what to do, but there is also enough theory so that you can understand the problem and use the information to generalize to the many different situations you will encounter. As individuals, each underachiever is unique, but, after more than 20 years as a psychologist, Dr. Spevak recognizes the similarities and patterns they present. All is not hopeless. Most parents of underachievers are frustrated because they have unsuccessfully tried a variety of things to motivate their underachiever. Dr. Spevak understands this frustration and explains why often-tried approaches don't work. But more importantly, he explains what can work. Readers will feel the sincerity and deep commitment Dr. Spevak brings to his work --- work that really began when he made his own transformation from a defiant underachiever in high school to a U.S. Marine and, finally, a clinical psychologist.
