Cures For The Parental Wimp Syndrome: Top Ten List for Effective ParentingAuthor: Thomas J. Zirpoli, Ph.D.
Price: Trade Paperback $12.95 plus s/h
Category: Self Help
Description: Dr. Zirpoli believes that we have made the whole issue of children and their behavior too complicated and too medical. Despite the lack of scientific evidence that misbehavior is the result of a medical, chemical or any other biological variable, billions of dollars are spent to treat misbehavior as if it were a medical issue. He calls this the medicalization of misbehavior. Tom says, "What we really need to do is get back to basics. We know why children behave the way they do—we have years of research telling us what children need to be successful and why they fail. But instead of looking at the research, we look for quick fixes, and we blame the victim instead of looking at our own behavior as parents."

Polishing the Pearl:
The Art of professional PerformanceAuthor: Al Betz
Price: Trade Paperback $14.95 plus s/h
Category: Court Reporting
Description: We were in a courtroom. Yet the sounds and sense of anticipation made it feel rather like a symphony hall. The solemnity of the occasion quickly became apparent as the United States Marshal commanded, “All rise!” Within a few minutes, the star of today’s program, John Hinckley Jr., was escorted into the courtroom. His ankle restraints had been removed, but his handcuffs remained in place. The judge called the case, and the next several minutes involved the routine of taking a plea and setting a trial schedule. The defendant, who was charged with the attempted assassination of the President of the United States, Ronald Wilson Reagan, stood a mere five feet in front of me. The proceeding was similar to the hundreds of other plea hearings I had been involved in before. Those hundreds of hearings prepared me to perform my job in an unemotional and professional manner during that tension-filled, historic moment. I was able to do it because I had prepared to do it. I had polished the pearl.
