There is a growing body of scientific knowledge regarding development during the middle years which has so far been relegated to discipline-specific texts and journals (e.g., clinical psychology and endocrinology). Life in the Middle consolidates main findings across disciplines, with a life-span perspective regarding mid-life. Coverage includes individual development in middle age from the psychological and biological perspectives as well as the sociocultural context in which middle-aged individuals live and work, including physical health in mid-life, psychological well-being, cognitive development, the impact of work on the individual, and the general development of the "self." This age period is increasingly becoming the focus of scholarly attention as the largest cohort in U.S. history are now moving into the middle years (e.g., the "babyboomers"). From 1990 to 2015 the number of middle-aged people will increase 72 percent from 47 to 80 million. - Contributors are outstanding scholars in the field of adult development - Addresses critical theoretical issues in midlife - Includes important contributions to our understanding of physical health at midlife - Presents a thorough review of women's health at midlife - Takes a holistic approach to biopsychosocial functioning at midlife

Although life in the Middle Ages was not as comfortable and safe as it is for most people in industrialized countries today, the term "Dark Ages" is highly misleading. The era was not so primitive and crude as depictions in film and literature would suggest. Even during the worst years of the centuries immediately following the fall of Rome, the legacy of that civilization survived. This book covers diet, cooking, housing, building, clothing, hygiene, games and other pastimes, fighting and healing in medieval times. The reader will find numerous misperceptions corrected. The book also includes a comprehensive bibliography and a listing of collections of medieval art and artifacts and related sites across the United States and Canada so that readers in North America can see for themselves some of the matters discussed in the book. Instructors considering this book for use in a course may request an examination copy here.

Using wide-ranging evidence, Martyn Whittock shines a light on Britain in the Middle Ages, bringing it vividly to life in this fascinating new portrait that brings together the everyday and the extraordinary. Thus we glimpse 11th-century rural society through a conversation between a ploughman and his master. The life of Dick Whittington illuminates the rise of the urban elite. The stories of Roger 'the Raker' who drowned in his own sewage, a 'merman' imprisoned in Orford Castle and the sufferings of the Jews of Bristol reveal the extraordinary diversity of medieval society. Through these characters and events - and using the latest discoveries and research - the dynamic and engaging panorama of medieval England is revealed.

It is a young-adult Christian book for teens and their families; addresses bullying at school and home; topics include bullying related to food allergies, food intolerances, dyslexia, and physical appearances. Here is the back cover synopsis: "It was the worst day of my life. The biggest bully in seventh grade punched me, and everybody at school ignored my existence-I felt invisible. Then I ditched class and was caught by the principal. And when I finally had the courage to tell my parents that my brother also bullies me at home, they said I was exaggerating. Really?I'm Louie Pickle, and my twisted life in middle school has been more gut-wrenching than my friends and I could've ever imagined. We've been teased, picked on, and punched for words we can't read and foods we can't eat-like peanut butter, cheese pizza, and chocolate ice cream-which is why I'm writing this story. The weird thing is that occasionally I make up dorky poems and prayers to deal with stress. But the cool part is how we stand up to Bobblebutt and the group of bullies by drinking braaaain juice, growing rhino skin, and being brave like Commander Courageous. Middle school is about to become the best adventure on the planet!"
