|  | Grandma's Scrapbook by Josephine Nobisso, Maureen Hyde
Readers have described the effect of GRANDMA'S SCRAPBOOK as stunning in its beauty, captivating & engrossing. In this companion volume to GRANDPA LOVED, a young girl tenderly shows us pages from the scrapbook her grandmother kept to chronicle their summers together. From the time her grandmother pushes the girl in her stroller to the time the girl guides her grandmother's wheelchair, we follow their wonder-filled & zany exploits in densely atmospheric watercolors. So evocative & uplifting is the reverie that when we discover it is a posthumous one, we are filled with wonder & hope as the keeping of the scrapbook changes loving hands. Expect tears of longing & surprise, nostalgia & joy as readers finish the last page of this modern classic. Order from Simon & Schuster. AUTHOR: Josephine Nobisso, Maureen Hyde

 | Cognitive Dissonance by Eddie Herman-Jones, Judson Mills
In 1954, psychologist Leon Festinger developed a theory called cognitive dissonance: the feeling of psychological discomfort produced by the combined presence of two thoughts that do not follow from one another. Festinger proposed that people will say or do almost anything to reduce that discomfort. The elegance of this theory has inspired psychologists over the past four decades. To this day, cognitive dissonance is one of the most widely accepted psychological theories. COGNITIVE DISSONANCE documents the ongoing debates, studies, developments, and controversies sparked by Festinger`s groundbreaking theory. AUTHOR: Eddie Herman-Jones, Judson Mills
