|  | Republic.com by Cass Sunstein
This scholarly volume considers the implication of niche Web sites that offer individuals an opportunity to read materials from the political perspective of their choice. Here, Sunstein argues that such narrowing of the media limits the democratic exercise of hearing all points of view. Sunstein suggests that the government mandate sites to include links to other sites offering counter-arguments. AUTHOR: Cass Sunstein

 | Ghost Girl by Torey L. Hayden
Jadie never spoke. She never laughed, or cried, or uttered any sound. Despite efforts to reach her, Jadie remained locked in her own troubled world--until one remarkable teacher persuaded her to break her self-imposed silence. Nothing in all of Torey Hayden's experience could have prepared her for the shock of what Jadie told her--a story too horrendous for Torey's professional colleagues to acknowledge. Yet a little girl was living in a nightmare, and Torey Hayden responded in the only way she knew how--with courage, compassion, and dedication--demonstrating once again the tremendous power of love and the relilience of the human spirit.

 | Being an Introvert in an Extrovert World by Marti Olsen Laney
One out of every four people feels overwhelmed at the thought of a business meeting, dreads walking into a party, hates having to make small talk with strangers, feels alone in a crowd--and always prefers to sit on the sidelines and observe. They're introverts, and now comes the book to buttress their resolve and help them find understanding and success living in an extrovert world.

Introverts are hardwired from birth to focus inward, so outside stimulation can easily become too much --chitchat, phone calls, parties, office meetings can all be overwhelming, sending introverts fleeing for a quiet corner. BEING AN INTROVERT IN AN EXTROVERT WORLD will help dispels introverts' belief that something is wrong with them. It helps readers understands introversion and shows them how to determine where they fall on the introvert/extrovert continuum. It provides tools to improve relationships with partners, kids, colleagues, and friends, offering dozens of tips, including 15 ways to talk less and communicate more, 10 ways to thrive at work, ways to take a child's temperament temperature, and arrival strategies for parties. Finally, it shows how to not just survive, but to thrive--how to create a life that just right for the introvert temperament, to bend and stretch comfort zones in the world, to keep friends, discover new energy reserves, grow in spirit, and more.
