The Effect of Children on Parents
by Anne Marie AmbertRecognize the hidden costs and rewards of childrearing!The Effect of Children on Parents, Second Edition, thoughtfully explores the interactions by which parents and children change, develop, and sometimes affect each other negatively. Everyone knows that parents influence their children, but few people consider the ways in which children affect their parents. The love, satisfaction, and fulfillment children offer can change parents’lives. So can the stress, worry, and financial drain.

Taking a unique interdisciplinary approach, this book describes in great detail, with jargon-free language the various aspects of children's effects on their parents. This second edition contains an abundance of fresh information, including nine entirely new chapters that deal with such complex topics as the effects on parents of children with emotional, behavioral, and delinquency problems. The Effect of Children on Parents, Second Edition, asks and answers essential questions on the parent-child dynamic, including: what role does genetic inheritance play in children's responses to their parents? how do peers influence children and through them, their parents? what happens to parents when children are difficult or have emotional problems? what special considerations apply to minority or adoptive parents? how do adult childrem affect their aging parents? how does society support or undermine parents? what roadblocks prevent parents from being as effective as they would like to be?The Effect of Children on Parents, Second Edition, takes a brave look at this often ignored area of family dynamics, giving a richer, more complex, and ultimately more healing view of how humans interact in families. Professors, students, and experts in the fields of child development, family studies, and sociology of childhood and family will find this book a sophisticated tool in their desire to better understand and help families and children.

The Elephant Tourism Business
by Ann Suwaree Ashton Liv Baker Sumanth Bindumadhav Sarah Blaine Eric Brymer Naphawan Chantradoan Saranphat Chotmanakul Qingming Cui Susanna Curtin Charlotte Day Nilakshi Galahitiyawe Vivek Gurusamy Professor Xavier Font Nicole Hausler Jeffrey Dale Hobbs Claire Jenkinson Professor John Koldowski Naut Kusters Eric Laws Shilpa Mahbubani Andrew McLean Mucha Mkono Somyot Ongkhluap Anja Pabel Piengpen Na Pattalung Clive Phillips Kannapa Pongponrat Bongkosh Rittichainuwat John Edward Roberts Andrea Saayman Melville Saayman Jan Schmidt-Burbach Professor Noel Scott Alokparna Sengupta Vinathe Sharma-Brymer Ramona Strödecke Daminda Sumanapala Daniel Turner Marjorie Van Strein Rebecca Winkler Isabelle Wolf Honggang XuElephant tourism is a growing activity in many countries across Asia and Africa and is popular with tourists from all parts of the world. Elephant tourism has grown rapidly, providing the only viable way for elephants and their owners to survive since the banning of logging. Old logging camps have been developed into sanctuaries for some elephants, but many other camps were established as entertainment centres, resulting in serious welfare issues for the elephants and their mahouts. The profits from elephant tourism in Asia have encouraged African operators to follow a similar business model. This book draws attention to the need for a comprehensive and rigorous focus on local solutions to improve the welfare of captive elephants, their mahouts and local residents, and to enhance tourists' experiences of elephant tourism. It achieves this by: - Critically reviewing recent research into elephant tourism. - Providing contemporary analytical case studies of elephant tourism policy and practice. The Elephant Tourism Business will contribute to a better understanding of how elephant tourism is organised, regulated and promoted, both in elephant areas and tourist origin countries. It identifies priorities for future research into elephant tourism and provides a unique, authoritative resource for researchers, elephant managers and administrators, and tourism managers. The book will be of interest to academics and practitioners with backgrounds in conservation, the environment, tourism and veterinary sciences, and will appeal to tourists keen to experience elephants in person.

When Ellie goes to visit Granny in New York, she has to say goodbye to best friends Hayley and Jess, and hello to her annoying cousin Hope (walking model for argan oil), not to mention cryptic text messages from Ash and a meet-cute with a Dirty Blond stranger, who might just be less of a stranger than a boy from school who wants her to join his band...Suddenly Ellie Pillai is back in the spotlight, and everything feels a bit more complicated when you're falling in love or possibly falling flat on your face. And what happens if you're not actually sure who you should be falling in love, with?

And I suppose I am a little bit weird, but then, aren't we all, just a little bit?Most days, Ellie Pillai is somewhere between invisible, and not very cool - and usually she's okay with that.
