 | The Simpler Family by Christine Klein
The stress and cost of maintaining a ?perfect? family can rapidly begin to outweigh the possibilities of enjoying it. This guide gives practical advice to families looking to restructure how they spend time together, where their money goes, and how they relate to one another. By letting go of out-of-control spending, frantic commutes, and long hours spent away from one another, families will find they already have the time and money they?re so desperately working for. Practical advice is given on all major areas of family life from how to pay off debt and raising smarter, happier children to creating meaningful birthdays and celebrations. The book also addresses the thought-provoking issue of having one parent stay at home and what that can mean financially, socially, and emotionally for a family, as well as the issue of providing practical solutions for families where both parents work away from the home.

 | Stories of Remarkable Discoveries by Women by Catherine Thimmesh, Melissa Sweet
They study the night sky, watch chimpanzees in the wild, and dig up ancient clay treasures. They search the beach for rare fossils, photograph old rock carvings, explore the hazards of lead poisoning, and wander into dark caves. And in their watching, digging, and wandering they become discoverers. Young and old, they are women and girls who discover seventy-million-year-old sea lizards, the very origins of counting and writing, Stone Age cave art, mysterious matter in the universe, and how a puddle of water can be sanitized when heated by the sun. Here is a tribute to the findings and revelations of these remarkable women and girls: to their perseverance, their epiphanies, their wondrous curiosity. Brought to life by stunning collage illustrations, these inspiring stories drawn from primary sources consistently probe into still unanswered questions. Here are discoveries that open our eyes not only to what women and girls can accomplish but also to the astonishing world in which we live. AUTHOR: Catherine Thimmesh, Melissa Sweet
