Parents often feel angry when their children do the wrong things. But responding to children in anger rarely brings about the desired result and can even have a damaging effect instead. Yet anger doesn't have to be the enemy. It can be a trigger that makes parents even more effective. Dr. Scott Turansky and Joanne Miller show them how.

Recognizing the very real emotions parents feel, Good and Angry taps into the constructive side of parents' anger and teaches welcome strategies for addressing the things their children do to drive them crazy. Addressing common problem areas for children–such as annoying behavior, lying, not following instructions, and bad attitudes–this book outlines seven routines that will help children improve in these areas and allow them to thrive in their relationship with parents and with others.

In Good and Angry, moms and dads will come to understand anger's true purpose and how they can use it successfully in their day-to-day parenting. They will also learn new approaches that will solve many common problems and, in the process, help both them and their children grow closer to God.

Il territorio della provincia di Napoli è interessato da frequenti eventi franosi, che talvolta assumono caratteri catastrofici. Fra questi, di particolare pericolosità le cosiddette colate rapide, che coinvolgono le coltri di terreni piroclastici sciolti prodotti dell'attività eruttiva dei Campi Flegrei e del Somma Vesuvio, che ammantano con spessori di qualche metro le pendici rocciose del Napoletano, della penisola Sorrentina, dell'agro Sarnese-Nocerino. Tali eventi non sono in alcun modo un privilegio esclusivo della Campania. Nel 1920 circa 200.000 persone trovarono la morte nella provincia di Kansu, in Cina, a causa di colate rapide di loess. Una valanga di detriti proveniente dal Nevados Huascaran, nelle Ande Peruviane, provocò, nel 1962 circa 4.000 vittime e, nel 1970, una colata ancora più grande si staccò dalla stessa montagna e distrusse la città di Yungai con la perdita di 18.000 vite. Nel mese di giugno del 1972, nell'area urbana di Hong Kong, si sono verificate ben 185 frane per colata rapida. È, quindi, forte l'esigenza di mettere a punto criteri di identificazione delle aree a rischio, di studiare le cause innescanti dei fenomeni, di definire le misure di difesa. Questo lavoro si propone di fornire un quadro, il più possibile completo ed esauriente, delle frane per colata rapida. Vengono descritti i meccanismi di innesco e di evoluzione, la possibile previsione, le tipologie delle opere di difesa. A conclusione della monografia viene proposta una metodologia di mitigazione del rischio, basata su sistemi avanzati di monitoraggio ed analisi, e, quindi, rispett

When an American mother's three adopted children reach their teens, they grow curious about their Korean heritage. A much-anticipated letter from Korea fails to satisfy them but sparks memories in the eldest. So begins the heartbreaking and inspiring tale of their birth mother's life as their adoptive mother imagines it.

Abandoned as a baby and then again and again, Mi Sook is raised in a Korean coffee shop by its string of owner-mothers. She grows to adulthood fiercely independent and eventually comes to manage the shop. But her marriage to Kun Soo, with whom she has three children, begins a series of events that ultimately wrench her babies from her arms. Deceived by Kun Soo and his well-intentioned mother, and unsupported by a rigidly Confucian culture, Mi Sook emerges as a tragic and heroic figure who embodies the rich complexities of a nation -- and of the heart.

Adding honor as a factor in raising kids …and parent-child relationships.

Dr. Scott Turansky and Joanne Miller offer a thorough program for establishing honor as a basis of family life — not just children honoring parents, but parents respecting children and children honoring each other. Even if honor seems a long way off in your household, you will find practical suggestions here to bring that goal a little closer — suggestions for kids of all ages. Honor is the biblical value that will bring about good behavior. It's more than just changing what kids do; it's changing the deeper issues of the heart that triggered the behavior.

Most Bible commentaries take us on a one-way trip from our world to the world of the Bible. But they leave us there, assuming that we can somehow make the return journey one our own. In other words, they focus on the original meaning of the passage but don't discuss its contemporary applications. The information they offer is valuable -- but the job is only half done! The NIV Application Commentary Series helps us with both halves of the interpretive task. This new and unique series shows readers how to bring an ancient message into modern context. It explains not only what the Bible meant but also how it can speak powerfully today.

Che cos'è un conflitto? Che cosa accade in esso, e perché? Si può parlare di una teoria generale del conflitto? E inoltre: ci sono strategie per la trasformazione/risoluzione dei conflitti? Queste sono alcune delle domande poste da un campo di studi in piena crescita in questo decennio, la cui struttura è fortemente interdisciplinare, ma dove frequenti sono anche i tentativi di un'unificazione teorica.
