Real kids make a real difference in their communities in this vibrantly photographed chronicle by George Ancona. George Ancona celebrates the joy of kids giving back. In one after-school program, middle-school students mentor and tutor younger children. Via a special partnership, schoolchildren help professionals train assistance dogs for people with disabilities. At a community farm, families plant, grow, and harvest produce for soup kitchens and charities. In these and other examples of volunteering, kids of all ages work together knitting hats and scarves for those who could use warm clothes, packing hot meals to deliver to housebound people, and keeping roadways clean. Young humanitarians reading these accounts may well be inspired to find ways that they can help, too.

Can You Help Me?: Living in the Turbulent World of Huntington Disease shares the surprising, insightful, challenging, and even encouraging stories of patients and their families who live with Huntington Disease. Having seen patients for more than 40 years, Dr Thomas Bird, a pioneer neurogeneticist, adds a human touch to this genetic brain disease that devastates persons during mid-life when they can least afford it. With a brief history of Huntington Disease and the occasional scientific detail, the true heart of the book is the human experience of the disorder: � The man who cannot stay out of prison because he is addicted to being a burglar. � Another man shoots and kills his roommate while watching television and cannot explain why he did it. � The woman with Huntington Disease copes with her depression by using Texas line dancing. � A twelve year old girl with juvenile Huntington Disease who can barely walk and talk, but her classmates rally around with touching and heartfelt support. � And the 72 year old man with late onset Huntington Disease and severe depression is made worse by ECT, but improved (for a while) with Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation. These are just some of the compelling stories of people of all ages and in all walks of life who feel trapped by a progressive degenerative brain disease from which there is no escape.

We can begin to heal the brokenness in our lives when we courageously look at our limitations and, through God's strength, deal with them in constructive ways. In this revised edition of his popular book, including an updated study guide, Vernon Bittner invites us to discover how to live with wholeness of body, mind, and spirit. To assist all who are searching for a more fulfilling life, he has reinterpreted the Twelve Steps of Alcoholics Anonymous in the light of the Christian faith and applied them to daily living. These are examples of the questions the book leads us to consider: - How can we play active roles in regaining and maintaining our spiritual, mental, and physical health? - How can we strengthen our spiritual lives when we feel weighed down by many limitations? - How are our emotions related to our recovery? Dr. Bittner writes not only from his own experiences of coping with life's problems, but also from his insights gained from his work as a psychotherapist and chaplain. With care and skill, he takes us through the various steps that lead to healing and recovery.
