A refreshingly straightforward method for training infants to become great sleepers for life, inspired by clinical psychologist Janet Kennedy's popular psychotherapy practice, NYC Sleep Doctor Cry it out or co-sleep? Bassinet or swing? White noise machine or Bach? How many hours anyway? For something so important, there's too much conflicting information about how best to get your baby to sleep through the night and nap successfully during the day. This book is a straightforward, no-nonsense answer to one of the biggest challenges new parents face when they welcome a brand new baby home. This book is written for exhausted parents, giving them immediate access to the information they need. Reassuring and easy to understand, Dr. Kennedy addresses head-on the fears and misinformation about the long-term effects of crying and takes a bold stand on controversial issues such as co-sleeping and attachment parenting. With polarizing figures and techniques dominating the marketplace—and spawning misinformation across the internet—Dr. Kennedy's methods and practices create an extensively researched and parent-tested approach to sleep training that takes both babies' and parents' needs into account to deliver good nights and days of sleep, and no small dose of peace of mind. The Good Sleeper is a practical, empowering—and even entertaining—guide to help parents understand infant sleep. This research-based book will teach parents the basics of sleep science, determine how and when to intervene, and provide tools to solve even the most seemingly impossible sleep problems.

In this ground-breaking work, Dr. Close goes beyond the question “How can we explain consciousness in terms of matter?” and asks instead, “Can matter be explained in terms of consciousness?” The results are astounding. Using unimpeachable scientific evidence and logic, the author provides proof of the absolute necessity of the existence of consciousness prior to the emergence of the first particle of the physical universe. Eliminating the conflicts between relativity and quantum mechanics, Transcendental Physics places them in perspective as progressive paradigm shifts leading out of the dead end of dialectic materialism and provides the necessary science for a sweeping shift to a consciousness-based reality paradigm. Transcendental Physics provides scientific proof of the existence of a non-quantum reality, a reality that both exceeds and incorporates physical materiality as a subset of Consciousness. Going beyond mere theory, Dr. Close completes this Herculean vision by providing, in an appendix, new mathematics derived from G. Spencer Brown’s Laws of Form that allows consciousness to be incorporated into the equations of physics. In this book, a truly Transcendental Science—capable of unifying the physical, biological, and psychological sciences with the search for spiritual truth in one consistent paradigm—is born.

Practitioners in informal science settings-museums, after-school programs, science and technology centers, media enterprises, libraries, aquariums, zoos, and botanical gardens-are interested in finding out what learning looks like, how to measure it, and what they can do to ensure that people of all ages, from different backgrounds and cultures, have a positive learning experience. Surrounded by Science: Learning Science in Informal Environments, is designed to make that task easier. Based on the National Research Council study, Learning Science in Informal Environments: People, Places, and Pursuits, this book is a tool that provides case studies, illustrative examples, and probing questions for practitioners. In short, this book makes valuable research accessible to those working in informal science: educators, museum professionals, university faculty, youth leaders, media specialists, publishers, broadcast journalists, and many others.
