Paperback. Condizione: Good. Everybody has a definition in their mind of what a man is. Whether it's a basic definition or an in-depth one, we all have one. But where do these definitions come from? More times than not, the definition and standards we learn throughout our childhood are never analyzed with a matured mind. They are carried with us throughout our life, and depending on the environment that helped to instill these definitions in us, it could either be a very good thing or very bad. Boys VS Men is NOT an attempt to tell you what a man is, but an opportunity to discover your own definition.This is a workbook and a tool for self-reflection, but more than anything this is an opportunity. It is an opportunity to become the man you want to be. It is the opportunity to explore topics that males are not allowed to discuss. To create yourself instead of allowing your surroundings the power. It is an opportunity to find the control. There are 52 different topics presented in this book that range from Adversity to Happiness. Each topic shows an example of how a boy might behave, VS a man in the same situation, based off of my own personal experiences. This book is designed in a way unlike most books. It is designed in a way where you have the power. Insight given in this book welcomes criticism and invites readers to come to their own conclusions, instead of traditional readings that present theories or opinions as fact. This is not an attempt to have you agree with me, but rather have you become more secure in what your definition of a man is. Data From Our Pilot Program. We used this workbook in a 10 week young men's group (ages 16-19) at a residential military credit reclamation program. There were 18 participants and each young man scored themselves prior to the programs first session, and again after the last. Data collected showed P values of less than 0.5, indicating statistical significance. *Data will be updated at the completion of new case studies and evaluations.

Paperback. Condizione: Good. A thrilling and propulsive novel of an Antarctica expedition gone wrong and its far-reaching consequences for the explorers and their families "leaves the reader moved and subtly changed, as if she had become part of the story" (Hilary Mantel).   "McGregor's depiction of speechlessness, both metaphorical and physical, makes the novel much more interesting than if he had provided a page-turner about a botched expedition in Antarctica . . . McGregor's carefully composed dialogue, filled with the repetition of so few words, had an eerie effect on me: for several days my own inner dialogue was often composed of the same words, as though I, too, was discovering how they could express drastically different emotions yet remain unreadable to the world." --Yiyun Li, New York Review of Books Remember the training: find shelter or make shelter, remain in place, establish contact with other members of the party, keep moving, keep calm.   Robert 'Doc' Wright, a veteran of Antarctic surveying, was there on the ice when the worst happened. He holds within him the complete story of that night--but depleted by the disaster, Wright is no longer able to communicate the truth. Instead, in the wake of the catastrophic expedition, he faces the most daunting adventure of his life: learning a whole new way to be in the world. Meanwhile Anna, his wife, must suddenly scramble to navigate the sharp and unexpected contours of life as a caregiver. From the Booker Prize-longlisted, American Academy of Arts & Letters Award-winning author of Reservoir 13, this is a novel every bit as mesmerizing as its setting. Tenderly unraveling different notions of heroism through the rippling effects of one extraordinary expedition on an ordinary family, Lean Fall Stand explores the indomitable human impulse to turn our experiences into stories--even when the words may fail us.…

Returning us to the extraordinary territory of Jon McGregor's Man Booker Prize long-listed novel Reservoir 13, The Reservoir Tapes take us deep into the heart of an English village that is trying to come to terms with what has happened on its watch.A teenage girl has gone missing. The whole community has been called upon to join the search. And now an interviewer arrives, intent on capturing the community's unstable stories about life in the weeks and months before Becky Shaw vanished.

A group of teenagers dare one another to jump into a flooded quarry, the one weak swimmer still awaiting his turn. A laborer lies trapped under rocks and dry limestone dust as his fellow workers attempt a risky rescue.
