  The author of the New York Times bestseller Cinderella Ate My Daughter offers a clear-eyed picture of the new sexual landscape girls face in the post-princess stage—high school through college—and reveals how they are negotiating it. 
  A generation gap has emerged between parents and their girls. Even in this age of helicopter parenting, the mothers and fathers of tomorrow’s women have little idea what their daughters are up to sexually or how they feel about it. Drawing on in-depth interviews with over seventy young women and a wide range of psychologists, academics, and experts, renowned journalist Peggy Orenstein goes where most others fear to tread, pulling back the curtain on the hidden truths, hard lessons, and important possibilities of girls’ sex lives in the modern world. 
  While the media has focused—often to sensational effect—on the rise of casual sex and the prevalence of rape on campus, in Girls and Sex Peggy Orenstein brings much more to the table. She examines the ways in which porn and all its sexual myths have seeped into young people’s lives; what it means to be the “the perfect slut” and why many girls scorn virginity; the complicated terrain of hookup culture and the unfortunate realities surrounding assault. In Orenstein’s hands these issues are never reduced to simplistic “truths;” rather, her powerful reporting opens up a dialogue on a potent, often silent, subtext of American life today—giving readers comprehensive and in-depth information with which to understand, and navigate, this complicated new world.

  What We Know - Solutions from...

  When The New Press, the Center for American Progress, and the Formerly Incarcerated and Convicted Peoples and Family Movement issued a call for innovative reform ideas, over three hundred currently and formerly incarcerated individuals responded. What We Know collects two dozen of their best suggestions, each of which proposes a policy solution derived from their own lived experience. 
   
   
   
  Ideas run the gamut: A man serving time in Indiana argues for a Prison Labor Standards Act, calling for us to reject prison slavery. A Nebraska man who served a federal prison term for white-collar crimes suggests offering courses in entrepreneurship as a way to break down barriers to employment for people returning from incarceration. A woman serving a life sentence in Georgia spells out a system of earned privileges that could increase safety and decrease stress inside prison. And a man serving a twenty-five-year term for a crime he committed at age fifteen advocates powerfully for eliminating existing financial incentives to charge youths as adults. 
   
   
   
  With contributors including nationally known formerly incarcerated leaders in justice reform, twenty-three justice-involved individuals add a perspective that is too often left out of national reform conversations.

  This is a 3-book bundle, which addresses various subtopics, including but not limited to these: 
    
    
  Book 1: What is dopamine? And how does it work?  
    
  Dopamine has been the topic of many debates and discussions among neuroscientists, clinicians, and analysts. It has been controversial and fascinating at the same time. Dopamine seems to give us motivation to succeed, to exercise, to seek rewards, to survive, and to procreate. It rewards us when we follow our instincts and can be the source of addictive behavior. People with ADHD have special challenges regarding dopamine fluctuation and appear to frequently suffer from a deficiency or overdose. 
    
    
  Book 2: There is a loop in life: We seek a reward, and we get rewarded with dopamine. This dopamine motivates us to seek more of it, and the cycle repeats itself. Such cycles can either be the basis of success and true fulfillment in life, or it can become a destructive pattern that leads someone to becoming dependent on fast fixes that turn out to be uncontrollable. 
    
    
    
  Book 3: Dopamine makes us human. It has been proven over and over again that it manifests itself differently in animals. It has been researched and been found identical to human traits and our motivation to do anything in life, our creativity, and our problem-solving skills. 
    
  In this guide, we will go over some of the great opportunities and dangers of dopamine. We will discuss the difference between the left and right brain, and the most common differences between dopamine in the female and male brain. Last but not least, we will share some thoughts about achieving goals and its relationship to dopamine triggers. 
    
  All of these topics can give you greater insight in your own psyche as well as others. Please take a look inside or listen to the audio version of the book.

  Summary: The Alien Agendas by...

  Warning! This mind-expanding book may change you forever. This is a summary and study-aid book. Of the many books on Aliens and UAP, Richard Dolan’s new book stands alone. One of the world’s leading historians on UFOs, Dolan studied abductees’ reports and categorized the different alien types and likely agendas. 
  He reviews the most convincing evidence and speculates on just who the aliens may be and want. Dolan’s analysis begins with our ancient pre-history and continues with our possible genetic modifications and monitoring by extraterrestrials. He also reveals the long history of interaction with perfectly human-looking beings but who seemed like they were from out of town, way out of town. 
  Such interactions never let up. Who are they? He scrutinizes the suspicious grays, short and tall, and other types, including mysterious reptilians, mind-controlling insectoids, rapidly evolving hybrids, and a motley crew of others. 
  Dolan steps forward to ascertain their peculiar psychology, technological prowess, and way of interacting with people. Unsettling “ultimate plans” start to come into focus. 
  He argues that the alien presence becomes especially important at this time on planet Earth. Accelerating the transformation of human civilization into something we are only beginning to comprehend is the nature of the game. Dolan points to a combination of radical new technologies permeating a new social order that ultimately might make human civilization akin to alien civilizations. Embedded in sophisticated science and technology, we progress towards a tightly centralized and controlled new world order.
