Praise for I&#8217;m Looking Through YouJenny Boylan&#8217;s I&#8217;m Looking Through You ranks right up there with Mary Karr&#8217;s The Liar&#8217;s Club and Tobias Wolff&#8217;s This Boy&#8217;s Life as one of the finest literary memoirs of the last several decades. Like these, it&#8217;s a haunting revelation of the human heart, its terrible longings, its fears and joys, the secret recesses where we most truly dwell. How alike we all are, down this deep.&#8212;Richard Russo, Pulitzer Prize&#8211;winning author of Empire FallsPraise for She&#8217;s Not There&#8221;There&#8217;s quite a story here. Ms. Boylan tells it with disarming humor and a sharp eye.&#8230;She&#8217;s Not There&#8230;brings irreverence and a merrily outrageous sense of humor to this potentially serious business.&#8230;Tender as well as funny.&#8221;&#8212;Janet Maslin, The New York Times&#8220;Probably no book I&#8217;ve read in recent years has made me so question my basic assumptions about both the centrality and the permeability of gender, and made me recognize myself in a situation I&#8217;ve never known and have never faced.&#8230;The universality of the astonishingly uncommon: that&#8217;s the trick of She&#8217;s Not There. And with laughs, too. What a good book.&#8221;&#8212;Anna Quindlen, from the introduction to the Book-of-the-Month Club edition&#8220;Beautifully crafted, fearless, painfully honest, inspiring, and extremely witty. Jennifer Finney Boylan is an exquisite writer...one of the most remarkable, moving, and unforgettable memoirs in recent history.&#8221;&#8212;Augusten Burroughs, author of Running with Scissors

Als Piaget 1980 im Alter von 84 Jahren starb, hinterlie&szlig; er ein monumentales
Werk, allerdings keine systematische Gesamtdarstellung seiner Theorie -
mit einer Ausnahme: 1970 schrieb Piaget f&uuml;r ein Handbuch der Kinderpsychologie
eine solche Gesamtdarstellung, ideal f&uuml;r Studentinnen und Studenten der
Psychologie, P&auml;dagogik und Sozialarbeit und f&uuml;r alle, die sich einen Einblick
in sein Werk verschaffen wollen. Ohne Jean Piagets Untersuchungen &uuml;ber
die Entwicklung des menschlichen Denkens und der Intelligenz beim Kind
ist die moderne Entwicklungspsychologie nicht zu denken, ebenso wenig die
p&auml;dagogische Theoriebildung und Praxis der letzten Jahrzehnte. Seine bahnbrechenden
Forschungsergebnisse &uuml;ber die Entwicklung menschlichen Erkennens haben
dar&uuml;ber hinaus das Selbstverst&auml;ndnis des modernen Menschen auf neue Grundlagen
gestellt. Im Mittelpunkt dieser systematischen Darstellung seines Werkes
stehen die Vorg&auml;nge wechselseitiger Anpassung zwischen dem erkennenden
Subjekt und seiner Umwelt, mit deren Hilfe das Kind sich seine Wirklichkeit
erst aneignet.

A KIRKUS REVIEWS BEST BOOK OF 2016"Karen Greenberg&rsquo;s new book, Rogue Justice, takes on a challenging task: adding new insight to our understanding of the long-running legal battles surrounding the post-9/11 fight against terrorism. Those who have followed U.S. detention and interrogation, surveillance and targeting policies for the past 15 years have been spoiled by a bounty of rich journalistic accounts of the legal debates inside the government and out&hellip; But Greenberg has a wider ambition. She aims to assess the damage these practices have done to law in the United States. As she frames it, the picture is grim... Given this stark framing, one might worry that what follows is a one-sided account. But Greenberg rightly tells a more nuanced story."&mdash;WASHINGTON POST"Clear and engaging... an important reminder of the Bush administration's excesses."&mdash;FOREIGN AFFAIRS"Detailed and meticulously researched... [an] excellent book... [and] an unflinching document."&mdash;JUST SECURITY&ldquo;A terrifying history of American surveillance in the 21st century... The author fully explains the government's panicked motivation for permitting torture and secretly watching its own citizens. Yet the book's central question is timeless: once a government takes rights away, can they ever be restored? &hellip; A sophisticated study of executive tyranny in the never-ending war on terror.&rdquo;&mdash;KIRKUS REVIEWS (starred)"Rogue Justice is Karen Greenberg&rsquo;s splendid new book about all the ways liberty was assaulted in America in the decade after the cataclysm of 11 September 2001...By connecting so many of the dots in the War on Terror, the author has made her own very important contribution."&mdash;THE GUARDIAN &#160; &ldquo;[Greenberg&rsquo;s] attention to how seemingly minor changes can hobble longstanding constitutional protections recalls Michelle Alexander's The New Jim Crow&hellip;What Alexander's work illuminates for mass incarceration, Rogue Justice does for the national-security state, detailing the subtle and unsubtle power grabs that eroded U.S. commitment to the rule of law.&rdquo;&mdash;COURTHOUSE NEWS SERVICE&ldquo;There is nobody I would rather read than Karen Greenberg on the collision of public fears, core legal values and the insatiable demands of the national security state.&#160;Rogue Justice&#160;is no political tract. It is a measured, richly informed and gorgeously written narrative of well-meaning presidents, lawmakers, judges and bureaucrats who lost their bearings after 9/11. Greenberg knows these people. They are not cartoons to her. Many of them have passed through her New York policy salon, where Greenberg holds court over a revolving cast of soldiers, spies, cops, geeks, public officials and some of their fiercest critics. She is immersed in their worlds, yet uncaptured.&#160;Rogue Justice&#160;offers a behind-the-scenes tour that blends fresh insights with stories that we have not heard before.&rdquo; &#160; &#160; &#160; &#160; &#160; &#160;&mdash;BARTON GELLMAN, author of Angler: The Cheney Vice Presidency&ldquo;In her indispensable book,&#160;Karen Greenberg documents the death of American liberty by a thousand cuts. In these times of dangerous fearmongering, she reminds us of how fragile American democracy is and why it is vital that we confront fear with courage, and stay true to our best principles.&rdquo;&mdash;KATRINA VANDEN HEUVEL, editor and publisher,&#160;The Nation&ldquo;Rogue Justice&#160;is the definitive account of the legal machinations behind the 'war on terror.'&#160;9/11 America's top lawyers argued for and defended torture, mass surveillance and indefinite detention. Karen Greenberg expertly guides us through the thicket of legal questions generated by the war on terror, laying out with great clarity the stakes involved and painting deft portraits of the key players who set the nation down a path we associate more with banana republics than with American ideals.&rdquo;&mdash;PETER BERGEN, author of&#160;United States of Jihad&#160;and&#160;Manhunt&ldquo;Rogue Justice vividly tells a decade long story of how the US justice system and those entrusted to ensure the rule of law facilitated the birth and expansion of the post 9/11 security state.&rdquo; &#160;&#160;&mdash;RICHARD A. CLARKE, former National Coordinator for Security and Counter-terrorism; author of Cyber War&#160;"Rogue Justice&#160;is a blistering indictment of the way that America&rsquo;s leaders, steered by fear in the wake of the 9/11 attacks, retreated from the very principles on which the nation was founded. In clear, sober prose, Greenberg gives us a vital overview of the way that the administrations of Bush and Obama pursued, in growing secrecy, increasingly unrestrained executive power and weakened the Bill of Rights in ways that led to torture, targeted killings and mass surveillance. Thankfully, she also offers us profiles in courage of those mostly unsung heroes who resisted. &#160;It is a cautionary tale of the fragility of the rule of law, and a clarion call for all Americans to stand up to terror with the courage of our convictions.&rdquo; &#160; &#160; &#160; &#160; &#160;&#160; &mdash;ALEX GIBNEY, director of Taxi to the Dark Side and Going Clear&ldquo;Rogue Justice&#160;reads like a well-honed argument delivered to a jury. Greenberg has wrestled complex questions of law and policy into a clear, compelling narrative that shows us how the United States abandoned its principles of justice and due process during the war on terror, and why we must fight to bring them back.&#160;A must-read for anyone who cares about the&#160;Constitution.&rdquo;&mdash;ANTHONY ROMERO, executive director, ACLU&ldquo;9/11 changed America. This invaluable book shows how close we came to losing many of the basic principles that underlie our system of justice &ndash; and how much we still have to do to protect the basic principles that make our country a beacon for human rights.&rdquo; &mdash;LAWRENCE WRIGHT, author of The Looming Tower and Thirteen Days in September &ldquo;Karen Greenberg is one of our leading national security experts, and her book combines sweeping narrative with deep analysis, yielding a powerful history of the legal aspects of counterterrorism policy since 9/11. Rogue Justice is an unprecedented achievement that will change the way we think about the rule of law in this country.&rdquo; &mdash;ALI SOUFAN, author of The Black Banners: The Inside Story of 9/11 and the War Against al-Qaeda

"If you're an armchair weather expert, a weather junkie or simply enjoy the intricacies of the world's most turned-to conversation topic, look no further than Weather Whys: Fact, Myths, and Oddities by meteorologist and editor Paul Yeager. In this slender volume, Yeager sets out to give readers a basic appreciation for storms, winds, freezing rain, puffy clouds and the like, by first giving readers a breakdown of just what these things are. Hail, for instance, happens when supercooled water freezes on dust particles that are then pushed back into clouds via updraft, over and over again, accumulating more water, and more size, until they finally crash onto our heads and cars.  Like a science teacher who clearly enjoys his subject and has a knack for explaining it, Yeager's easy-to-digest writing comes with a lot of requisite enthusiasm. Lightning doesn't get enough respect, he writes-and did you know that the "temperature of a lightning bolt is estimated to be as much as 54,000oF (five times the temperature of the sun)"? The book is packed with fascinating facts like these. Yeager reveals that "it's always cooler after a thunderstorm"; that seeking shelter under a highway overpass during a tornado is a really bad idea (the speed of the wind will increase); that "snow-eating wind" allows snow to vanish rather than melt and a whole lot of sports-and-weather phenomena like the fact that high humidity "allows a baseball to travel farther, increasing the likelihood of home runs." With gems like these, Weather Whys is already a candidate for bathroom book of the year."  -Emagazine.com
